Smogon Simple Questions Thread

Is there a list compiled somewhere of all the suspect tests and quickbans that have affected a given tier over the last few generations?
 
This is probably a stupid question but where do yall get the gifs of pokemon's 3d models and they're little sprites to use in threads? I tried copying the gif from the Strategy Dex but it wouldn't work.

the minisprites are just :pokemon: for example, :pikachu:
the gifs follow a similar idea, but you have to put the shortened name for the pokemon's generation first. For example, if you want the gif to use the sprite from Scarlet and Violet, you'd use :sv/pokemon:. The codes used are "rb/" for Red and Blue, "gs/" for Gold and Silver, "rs/" for Ruby and Sapphire, "dp/" for Diamond and Pearl, "bw/" for Black and White, "xy/" for X and Y, "sm/" for Sun and Moon, "ss/" for Sword and Shield and "sv/" for Scarlet and Violet, though all the sprites for the 3D generations tend to be similar, so you can generally just use "sv/". Here's how they all look.

Hi, I seemed to have mistakenly posted my suggestion in the wrong 'suggestion' sub-forum and was redirected here by mathfreak231 (sorry for the tag and thanks for redirecting me) anyhoo

I was wondering if there could be a "Great Work" reaction for the people that post teams etc. it feels sort of weird that theres only Like, Love, Haha, Wow, Sad and Angry. Having a Great Work reaction would potentially show that the team or build or just a post in general.

The Pokémon reaction icon could be a Staryu, I guessed on the size of the reactions if the size isn't right I've also provided the original unscaled version so that whoever sets them up can rescale if it needs to be.

There's no plans to add any more reacts as of now.

Is raging bull's screen destroying effect a reference to "bull in a china shop"?

Maybe? Not really the best place to ask though.
 
Small idea for the dex, but on move pages Pokemon that have a set recommending the move should be in bold, similar to how held item pages list Pokemon that have a moveset recommending them. Would be just a little easier to scout out viable moves
 
Need some guidelines on where to post. So I'm building a doubles team and need some suggestions on finalizing the team.
I know RMT are for teams that are already finnished but where should I post this then?

How do I start participating in suspect tests

When a suspect test occurs, there will be an announcement posted to the subforum corresponding to that tier. You can check out that announcement for the instructions. Basically, you'll have to make a new account and ladder until you meet the requirements, and then post the evidence. Once the laddering period is over, you will be able to vote in a thread in the Blind Voting subforum.

You can find a link to a suspect test that is currently in progress here. Usually, suspect tests will have more or less the same instructions as this one (the recent Tera vote in SV OU being a notable exception).

For an unfinished team, a live chat like the doubles discord or the showdown doubles room would probably be good places to ask. If you vastly prefer the forum format then the Doubles Q&A thread would probably be the next best place.
The last thing you could do is try your best to decide on the last details yourself and then post the RMT, and highlight the mons you're not sure about and want help changing.
