gonna come up with options for every new fully evolved pokemon until i get bored. these should all be fairly self-explanatory. :Palafin-Hero:: Bitter Blade, Dragon Ascent, Jungle Healing, Swords Dance :Baxcalibur:: Destiny Bond, Accelerock, Bitter Blade, Jungle Healing, Salt Cure :Iron Valiant...

How does Mimic work as a trademark? Because I like the idea of coming in after an opponent's attacking move and getting that on switch-in for the rest of the game, but that feels too good to be true. To avoid making this a one-liner, some observations. :SV/Revavroom: Revavroom @ Heavy-Duty...

https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/almost-any-ability.3710568/post-9428388 Hey, the links in this post lead to a really shady website. You should probably ask a mod to fix them for you, and then check your computer for malware.

Lots of nutty possibilities this gen, but I'd like to zoom in on Cyclizar. Even with Shed Tail banned, it has a great movepool and Regen is sweet. Off the top of my head, a Shift Gear set could support: Meowscarada (SG+Power Whip+Knock Off+Fire Fang/Overheat) Gyarados (SG+Aqua...

Probably the biggest upside to running rain this gen is the potential to gimp Protosynthesis users, but it gets its own toys. Drednaw gets Shell Smash + Swift Swim this gen, a combination previously seen only on unmons like Omastar. Meanwhile, Iron Bundle has flawless coverage and is naturally...

Mienshao @ Focus Sash Ability: Inner Focus EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Close Combat - Fake Out - U-Turn / Rock Slide / Knock Off - Taunt / Quick Guard / Wide Guard / Protect As others have observed, Inner Focus is a great ability to share with a partner, and my user of choice...

You would need to find a way to designate what aspect of the other Pokemon you're borrowing. In your example, how would Showdown know to copy Snorlax's attack, rather than (say) its Special Defense? I can imagine doing this by mandating that Linoone immediately follow Snorlax in your lineup...

Oh hey, I remember liking this meta. I wish my man Breloom was available this gen, but oh well. At least Excadrill's starting off banned. Since shnowshner pretty much covered all of the new mons this gen, I'll go through and see what got new tech this time around. Slowbro (and Slowking I...

Submission Start Regigigas @ Mental Herb Ability: Prankster EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Ingrain - Substitute - Minimize - Baton Pass With Neutralizing Gas putting the kibosh on things like Prankster Haze, Unaware, and Imposter, it seems like Pure...

Submission Start Inteleon @ Choice Specs Ability: Sniper EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Surging Strikes - Water Shuriken - Ice Beam / Ice Shard / Sucker Punch - Flip Turn / Sucker Punch Sniper Surging Strikes is a nuke coming off of Inteleon's great Special Attack, and with...

Here's a pretty good stallbreaker Zarude set that, I think, should warrant adding Centiskorch to its donors in the viability rankings. Zarude @ Leftovers Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant / Jolly Nature - Power Whip - Knock Off - Fire Lash - Coil The...

Other ideas: Aegislash @ Venusaurite Ability: Stance Change --> Thick Fat EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Calm Nature - Leech Seed - Synthesis - King's Shield - Shadow Ball Not as good now that Lopunnite is so splashable, but at least King's Shield can scout. Archeops @ Lopunnite Ability...

what is mnm i am not good with computer Start submission Tapu Lele @ Cameruptite Ability: Psychic Surge --> Sheer Force EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Modest Nature - Psychic - Moonblast - Fire Blast - Earth Power / Focus Blast This set should speak for itself, hopefully. With lots of new...

The difference with Mean Look, Block, etc. is that once one party switches out or faints, the opponent will no longer trapped, since those aren't self-trapping moves. If you get an Ingrain/No Retreat off on an opponent and then faint or (with Shed Shell) switch out, they're trapped until you...

MIRROR, MIRROR Metagame premise: Whenever a Pokemon uses a move, their opponent immediately uses that same move. Mirrored moves are not, themselves, mirrored. They don't go back and forth forever. A Pokemon is able to mirror a move even if their move selection is hindered (i.e. a Pokemon...
