I figured this would be stated in the rules, but I couldn’t find anything on it regarding Smogon (though I did find something for PS! specifically)- is a banned user allowed multiple ban appeals, or do they only get one?
Idk if this is the right spot for this but I just got top 500 on the Doubles OU ladder and I wanna check if I got a badge, how do I?
there are no badges for reaching top 500 on any ladder. that's a nice accomplishment, though.
Doubles OU only sometimes has medals, this 3 month period it doesn't. Additionally, medals are only for top 100, top 30, and top 3 and automatically get added at the end of every hour. The only tiers that permanently have medals are OU and Random Battles.
There's a button at the bottom of your post like this:
Hello! I have a huge issue on showdown and that being I don't remember my password at all and there's no other way for me to log back in. Is it possible that I can request a change password form or anything at all to get my account back?
looks like there is no way to reset it sorry.
waht determines "usually useless moves" I am pretty sure garchomp would never use moves like body slam, double edge, or crunch while moves like thunder fang vs fire fang is also smth despite them being equal in base power yet thunder fang is in usually useless.
Or how chilling water on latios isnt in usually useless despite surf being miles better yet icy wind sits in usually useless despite having a similar thing of giving the opponent a debugg

idk it’s by Pokémon but rather by tier. So like Follow Me is good in VGC so it is in useful moves. On the other hand, it sucks in singles, so it is labeled as usually useless.
Body Slam is generally good in most singles tiers, hence why it is put in useful moves.
Where do I report something minor on the Pokédex page? It's very miniscule so I could say it here, Vice Grip got reformatted to Vise Grip starting Gen 8, but the Dex still uses the old spelling
this thread would work
hmm so its just a general basis instead of a mon by mon. Guess it makes sense and it would be far to much effort to try to say "this is useless on x mon but usable on y mon"
hello. so I was wondering what happened to the frantic fusions category on showdown. Was it temporary or was it banned?
The ladder was temporary, you can still challenge people to it directly though.
The in-battle display will generally round up (though it does not display 100% for a pokemon that has less than full HP), which can result in an opponent that appears to have 50% HP remaining taking "more damage" than the calculator's displayed maximum of 49.6% due to the actual HP value being somewhere between 49.1% and 49.6%. This is in order to prevent additional information leaks, which could let you determine exact EV investment or provide more detailed information than possible on cartridge.
If your pokemon has full HP, then unless it gets hit by an attack that would do 100% or more of its HP in damage then it will survive a hit that's calculated to do 99.9% of its HP in damage, assuming that the calculation is accurate.
if i wanted to get involved with tournament directing, where would i start?
If you mean tournament hosting, you’re best of speaking to CLs of the sections you want to host for about their tours and see if they need any tour hosts. The tournament directors are in charge of the official circuit and tend to be pulled from a pool of experience hosts/policy makers, you can apply for that here.
How does ladder decay work?
Above 1400, we have rating decay. Every day at 9 AM GMT+0:
- If you played over 5 games, there is no decay
- If you played 1-5 games, you lose 1 point for every 100 points above 1500 you are
- If you played 0 games, you lose 1 point for every 50 points above 1400 you are
Is there a way to access past dates on the ladder page? I wanted to use screenshots of my ELO back in like November but I deleted the screenshots somewhere at some point in time.
