There's a few other threads, but I subjectively think they're not as important/useful/are specifically about lower tiers.
theres been just a little bit of discussion on bp over the years
Thanks for the links. But most of them is already close to further replies. It seems this baton pass question is already a settled question, unfortunelly.
Those weren’t linked for you to respond to, they were linked to show the ban reasoning.
I was thinking, what if moves where categorized in teambuilder (as a tag), by what the effects of it were (buff, damage, entry hazards, de-buff, status inflict, increased crit rate, multi-hit, etc)
and possibly also do it for held items (berries types resist, choice, status remove, damage increase, status inflict, over time effects (leftovers type stuff), z-crystals, etc)
this kind of thing could really help someone if there looking for a move that has a specific effect to it but don't know if it 1 exists, 2 the name, 3 if the mon can learn it.
and, it would be relatively simple to implement, only issue is categorizing every move/item (even then, it is just tedious since team builder already has a description)

There are already commands that do some of these things. /nms has boosts [stat], physical | special, lowers [stat], secondary (kind of covers status inflict?), multi-hit
as for items, there's /is in which you can type /is [type] to find the berry, /is only select the first move for choice items, and probably most of those you could get with specific terms. That's all the knowledge I have on those.
This should most likely go in the Pokemon Showdown! suggestions forum though.
thanks for the info on where to put this
Hi, is it possible that an SS member could remove my badges? I don’t rly want them anymore + think they are ugly on my profile. Thank you.
Is there any particular reason why the BW forums are the only ones with an explanation on how the sample teams are suppossed to work?
If you could answer this question before banning me, that would be great.

Explanations for the samples exist because a contributor volunteered their time to write them, this is not a given for every gen. GSC has them too.
Thanks.
I don't know if this has been suggested, but I think a National Dex Little Cup tier would be fun.
NDLC is real but it's on discord only.
Apologies if i'm not supposed to be handing this out willy nilly
How to get badges in the profile? I want that too ^^
Could tier shifts reflecting July be updated to Pokemon affected by them? Certain Pokemon like Gastrodon (which are still listed in their old tiers pre-July, in this case RU) have still not be updated.
Pokemon like Machamp and Vanilluxe have also been banned from NU and PU respectively, as reflected in their suspects. Instead of being labeled as NU and Untiered, respectively, they should be moved to NUBL and PUBL.

For a trick room team, how slow should a trick room abuser be? Does it depend on the format Trick Room is used in?
It depend on the meta of the tier, the abuser have to be slower than the majority of the mons, less than 100 is really good, but less than 200 can be good.
How I get a pokemon gif to my profile?
I would like a Shedinja bouncing in a white background. As some other users seems to have.

Most "Pokemon with a white/transparent background" profile pictures are the default profile pictures that Smogon assigns you when you make your profile. You can find out what your default Pokemon is by simply deleting your own profile picture. If it's not a Shedinja, simply download a Shedinja gif and use that!
Thnaks for the responde, my innerent pokémon is a Lileep. I don't like that and I will stay with my Shedinja avatar.
Another question, how can I share a battle of pokemon showdown in this forum?
When I saved a battle it become a html archieve in my pc roosted in my directory C.
As example: file:///C:/Users/gabrf/Desktop/about%20pkmn/Gen3OU-2021-11-02-rg4shadow-bean43152.html
But you can't open this link because isn't online. Where can I get a On Line link of my battles to share in the forum?
unfortunately, if you save your battle it will only be available to view locally aka for you. Sharing them is nigh impossible unless you screen record them and upload the video somewhere. If you want to be able to share your battles, an easier way is to click this button
this will upload it online and you can look it up here by searching your username. You can also this website to view your friends' battles by looking them up!
Here’s Shedinja’s animated sprite if you want to set that as your avatar
That’s from Black and White like the default avatars, you can explore here for other things like modern sprites or shinies (unfortunately Shedinja has a disappointing shiny coloration)
Ohh thanks for this link, a found battles of 5 years ago I don't have idea was saved! Unfortennely most of saved battles was the one I lost, I don't understand why they don't save my victories XD
Actually I found one victory here:
