I don't think there's one specific place that has them all. Each tier may or may not have their own "Good Cores" thread in their respective forum. I know PU does right here: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/ss-pu-good-cores.3664886/

Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

adding on to what oath said, here are the cores threads for some other tiers:
OU (somewhat outdated)
UU
RU doesn't have one :(
NU doesn't either, but it has something - NU Archetype Cores!
PU
LC (tiny bit dated)
Nothing for Monotype, but due to the nature of the tier, the viability rankings should suffice.
National Dex OU (tiny bit dated)
Other metagames like ZU and 1v1 unfortunately do not have anything, but I hope this helps you find the one you're looking for!

You can Search in the Competitive Tier and Check Each one. Doubles ou Have one But outdated. Also You can see the Viality Ranking and look the analysis where here you can See The partner and you can Build From There
NP means Now Playing, a little fun play on the metagame being played and a fitting song to go with it.
Server Registration is detailed here: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threa...-contacting-upper-staff.3538721/#post-6227638 Its for users who know how to program and host their own pokemon showdown server and want it registered with us. I will make this clear now as well: We do not host servers for you, don't ask.
The Tournament Discord Moderator Application form is no longer used iirc, but it was used to see who was interested in joining the moderation team for the tournament's discord server.
Hello everyone. Brand new to smogon. Apologies if this is the incorrect place to post. Looking for assistance in getting started. Been playing wifi battles for a few months now and looking to improve my game.
This is okay and welcome! Is there a particular format you are interested in. I would suggest joining the official Discord server as it has many users who can help you out or point you to a different Discord. official server
*shame less edit haha
Thank you for the recommendation. Definitely interested in OU and little cup seems super fun.
Is it intentional that unbadged users can't open files in PR? it's especially annoying cause u can't open images to see the high quality versions.
This is the highest quality you can get without a badge:
I just took this screenshot while not actually being logged into the site (i.e. unbadged) and the quality was fine.
Are you sure your browser's not acting up? Maybe try clearing cache/cookies etc and see if that works?
I think its actually a mobile issue. Went on desktop and was able to see hq thumbnails and zoom in and stuff. Whereas on mobile in PR I'm unable to see the high quality versions of images - this goes for other threads too in that forum.
However, in other forums where I lack posting privileges like smogons greatest hits, I'm still able to view full quality images on mobile and click on pics and stuff without getting a permissions error.
Might be an issue with the forum software, idk.
Why can't I ever get a smogon bracket link to open? It always gets stuck on loading. I never got one to load in the past either.

It was an issue with how the permissions were set up for non-badged members, should hopefully be fixed now.
I believe you need badged access to be able to view and use those.
So a bracket maker should show matchups and future matchups (winner of this match vs winner of this match) right? Doesn't that mean badged users are at a slight advantage because they can see future matchups and prep before hand? Or does it not work like that?
The bracketmaker is only really used to easily create and run tournament brackets which are then posted on the forums, pretty sure it's only linked so that the pairings can be verified to be unmodified. The overall tournament bracket is prob something you can calculate yourself if you know how a double elimination tournament works, which I don't really.
To go into a bit more detail, the bracketmaker only generates matches one round at a time. Each round, the pairings are totally randomized. In truth, it's really not a bracketmaker in the same way bracketmakers like Challonge or Smash.gg are, as Smogon chooses not to seed their brackets. While badged users can see the generated brackets, hosts usually generate the bracket literal minutes before posting the round, so the advantage there is pretty nonexistent.
What's the difference beetween circus maximus, and congregation of masses?
Circus Maximus is home to strategic forum games (like Mafia), whereas CONG focuses on non-Pokemon related discussions as a whole.
Hello. I was trying out a team on OU with Cinderace. However, I just noticed that Cinderace is actually being suspect tested. Am I still allowed to to use Cinderace in regular OU battle (even if I don't participate in the suspect testing)? Sorry, I'm an inexperienced player and don't know whether suspect pokemons are allowed for players not participating in the testing or not. (I saw the post and it says I need a completely new account to participate - but I have already played 10+ matches without Cinderace and then played a few matches with Cinderace before noticing the rules regarding suspect testing.)
You can play with Cinderace on the ladder during this suspect test without trying to qualify for voting requirements, you're free to just continue on as normal. The fresh account starting with "OUTI" is only relevant if you do want to qualify for reqs.
Hello, I created this account several years ago and I have not used it since. As my email address and date of birth are associated with it, I'd like to delete this account (or "close" it), but the "contact us" link in the Help > Terms and rules section redirects to the same page. Who can I talk to about closing my account, or at least replacing my personal data with dummy data?
