Smogon Simple Questions Thread

I want to make Pokémon, some of them competitive. Do you have Bulbagarden account? Idk if I’m allowed to say this, but if you do, then just go to Bulbagarden and look up Pokémon: Seasons-New Pokémon, Abilities, Moves, and Held Items (you might be able to look it up regardless, idk). You’ll see some of the Pokemon I want to promote
 
Well, this is suggestions thread too, after all. You guys should make a thread where people can show off their CAP mons. Maybe, even, after a bit of discussion they can even make the cut!
 
Hello, it would be very interesting if in the alerts section the notifications do not disappear until a week has passed, which is how long tournament rounds normally last.
This way you could see which tournaments you have been mentioned in and you are playing that week.

Maybe there should be a tournament alert system built into Smogon forums? Not sure how feasible it'd be, but an implementation idea could be having (at least official tournaments) put onto a calendar, and having that be used to settle when a match will be held with your opponent. Then it could give you reminders, and pings to you from said type of thread would be sent to its own Alerts category
 
You should add Tera Types to the Usage Rates list

Re: adding new features/data, the existing scripts currently take two full days to process everything to completion, and this month's took a dozen hours longer than usual for some reason, even with fewer formats to work through than last month. Sorry, but I'm not going to fiddle with any part of Antar's scripts that isn't purely generation changes or maintenance (for many reasons, but mostly the time/resource investment is already unreasonable).

Anything is possible, I'm just not going to be the person to do it, for reasons already stated in this thread. I'm also not in charge of the data grant process so I can't help you with the rest.
 
How do I make one of these (I don’t know what they’re called) :sv/pikachu: be shiny?
shiny sprites don't have direct integration, but they can still be put on forums via image links.
  1. go to https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/
  2. navigate to the shiny you want. in this case, ani-shiny -> gallade-mega
  3. copy the link of the file (https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani-shiny/gallade-mega.gif)
  4. on forums, click on the insert image button, click on "by url", and put in the gif link
gallade-mega.gif
 
I know that Ubers kinda fills this role, but considering that it’s a tier all on its own, I don’t think that it counts as a “BL” anymore. Anyways, you guys should make an OUBL. Pokémon such as Espathra, Dialga, and so many more Pokémon could go here
