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.
If you KO Tapu Koko right after you beat the League for the first time, will it be there as soon as you're past the credits or do I need to beat the League again to get another shot?
e: now I see a similar question is higher on this very page but I very much want that clarification. "I think"...
Mega Venusaur is a separate entity entirely and its discussion, and by the same token, Stall, is neither here nor there. Comparing it to SwagPlay is also like comparing an apple with a grapefruit.
I managed to get to page 9 before I decided the rest of the thread is just too painful to read.
I'm one of those folks in favor of banning SwagPlay. I'd like to ask a simple question: Whenever anyone has had to fight a SwagPlay team, were you ever having fun? No, because a feeling of...
Put on the 16 Speed EVs on Groudon. Since making that post I've been swept by Geomancy Xerneas quite a few times now. Moonblast becomes a 2HKO to my Sylveon and Ferrothorn cannot take a +2 Focus Blast. To be honest I'm having more trouble with it than I am with Dialga now. While Yveltal has...
Hey there, Smogon. Just a lurker who decided to take a crack at trying a full blown Stall team, and looking for a bit of critique for it! I would like to note that the closest thing to Stall I've ever attempted is Bulky Offense, so this is a bit of a radically different experience for me. I'm...
I need a Brave Bulletproof Chespin, IVs/Egg Moves don't matter. If you can't give me a Brave one, I'll still accept it, but I would really appreciate just getting a Brave one through the trade. I can offer Brave Honedge, Synchronizers of many flavors (no Jolly/Timid, sorry), Karrablast with...
My first battle was waaaaaaaaay back on Netbattle, 3rd Gen. At the time, I was just a dumb kid using Hardy non-EVed Pokemon that I thought were the shit (mostly my favorite starters and legendaries), and proceeded to get destroyed every time, usually to Ninjask and/or Heracross. The only people...
There's also Normal Rules, which I know you can access through PSS Battles (not Battle Spot, haven't tried that yet.) Normal Rules sets all Pokemon to 50 and permits all 6 Pokemon to be used.
Believable or not, I'd love to see where we are this cycle. If they are "joke stats" I'm not sure if they'd be as much of a laugh as what Showdown is doing right now. :V
"OOGA BOOGA LOOK AT MY FAT BELLY EYES"
On a more on-topic note:
For the longest time I kept getting confused on Gligar and Gliscor's typing. It's purple, it's a flying scorpion, it learns Poison Sting early. Must be Poison/Flying right? NOPE. Ground/Flying. I sent electric moves at it only to...
Here's one that I hope I'm not alone in.
Thought Groudon here was a Fire type for the longest time (I had Sapphire, and when I played Emerald, I assumed it was Fire).
Edit: Oh yes, this too.
Thought Glalie was an Ice/Dark type. Nope, pure Ice. It still doesn't make sense in my head; it...
You know, I wasn't around for it, and this is somewhat unrelated, but why was Venomoth deemed BL2? I know it can Quiver Pass, but was that too much for the tier?
Offering some insight into potentially letting defensive Ubers into Gen VI OU; look at Deoxys-D. Gen III and IV, it was Uber, but in...
Truth be told, while I'm excited for the in-game fun I'm likely to have with X/Y, I'm actually a bit scared for what it might do to OU. I'm someone who wound up quitting OU around the time Genesect was running rampant, and while I have attempted to play it since its banning, I just can't get...
Kid Icarus Uprising, Tales of the Abyss, Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, Pokemon Rumble Blast.
To name a few other things. I'm one of those people who bought a 3DS early.
