I think they meant the size of pokemon (unless I missed the joke :( )

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.

Congrats to the winners of the 2023 Smog Awards!
SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics
- Thread starter DHR-107
- Start date
I think they meant animation in the size of individual Pokémon of the same species
There is discussion some pages back, the people doing the leaking and compiling are in this thread and talking :) its an unknown table of moves, they might be raid moves, second table for egg moves, move tutors, something else. We don't fully know.
Move tutor is essentially a placeholder for "method that isn't TM"
Oh that. I guess he's just assuming it's move tutor. Thanks!
Uturn AND Stealth Rock lmao. What the dragon doin
I missed that LMAO wtf is going on
Game changer, Bye-Bye Intimidate spam.
Making up for lost time?
At least I'll have something to nullify my Def drop when running Chien-Pao in doubles (assuming it's a stage like intimidate).
In that case, the answer is still yes
Right azumarill is like 2/3rd of the left one.
(Yes we swapped to azumarills cause babypokemon)
(also it took 1 borger and then feed it 6 exp candies to get Azurill to evolve, that's some fast friendship gain)
i also quickly become friends to people who buy me food
I'm very curious about this table, especially since it seems to be fairly small.
Also curious about Male-only mons and Genderless mons having entries in their egg move table! If it's for raid encounters they could've done it consistently since Gen 5 because there's always been non-inheritance methods of getting Egg Moves (Dream World, DexNav, Island Scan and Max Raids to name a few). So it's nice to see them finally bite on it.
hope for my ocd sake that the gen 9 mons that appear in this order will be the actual national dex order
Cyclizar moveset ideas?
I disappear for a few hours and come back to 25 unread pages lol. I want to bring up some interesting new developments that seem to have slipped under the radar.
Scovillain: Stomping Tantrum
Scovillain had no way to hit Fire types with its level-up movepool but thankfully it was given Stomping Tantrum through TM. It's no Earthquake or Earth Power but it should be good enough to get the job done since its Attack is just as high as its Sp.Atk. Admittedly it suffers from "we have a Venusaur at home" syndrome but with how powerful Sun HO is looking to be and with many of the top Chlorophyll users absent, Scovillain may yet find a niche.
Kilowattrel: Thunder, Weather Ball
Kilowattrel is looking like a great addition to rain teams as it has access to 100% accurate STAB Hurricanes and Thunders as well as having Volt Absorb and Weather Ball. Rain may not look as spicy as Sun right now but don't sleep on it or this mon for that matter.
Cetitan: Belly Drum, Earthquake
Belly Drum is an insane addition on a Slush Rush sweeper especially when you consider Cetitan's natural bulk + the defence buff from snow + Aurora Veil. Earthquake is an essential addition to hit Steels which was a concern when looking at its level-up movepoo.l
Rabsca: Revival Blessing, Trick Room
What makes Rabsca stand out is that it's the only Pokemon with the combination of Revival Blessing and Trick Room. Being able to revive a sweeper or another TR setter can be huge with such a volatile playstyle. Its stats aren't the best but I do believe this combination will give it some form of viability however small. Trick Room in general benefits from a more HO metagame anyway.

An endless cycle of death and rebirthI wonder what happenes when you use Revival blessing on a Pokemon with Revival Blessing
The Ruin abilities are just Intimidate clones that also debuff allies, right? If so, then this calc isn't very useful, since Chi-Yu is probably not gonna set up right in front of a mon that one-shots it.
Probably not endless even if the single-use part doesn't save. The revive item doesn't restore PP, so I would expect Revival Blessing to also skip that.
Shed Tail
3 filler moves
Max HP Max Speed
That’s really all you need on it until Shed Tail is banned.
You could probably use that but you’d keep your PP usage and Item (or lack there of from Knock Off) when you revive. So you can’t do this infinitely.I wonder what happenes when you use Revival blessing on a Pokemon with Revival Blessing
CTNC
Doesn't know how to attack
That's not endless unless Revival Blessing also restores PP for some extremely stupid reason.
I'd so have two Scarf Pokemon spam that move every turn to PP stall everything... >:D
Reality and theory don't usually converge in Pokémon.
Sheer Force is one of the best abilities in the game because it doesn't need any kind of planning. Sheer Force works. It's a 30% boost to your moves, as I said, from turn 1 to turn 50. It doesn't matter. Every Earth Power -or whatever- you use with Sheer Power, is 30% boosted and also negating the damaging effects of Life Orb. Calcs and all that are great, but what truly matters is what can and what can't be done easily, and how reliably it hits.
For Kingambits to receive a boost equal to Sheer Force, 3 mons in your team must be defeated. This, while said, may not sound as much if we don't pause and try to understand the authentic implications of this. I'll repeat it: for Kingambits to receive a boost equal to Sheer Force, 3 Pokémon in your team should've fainted. First, this is worse in every single sense you can imagine. Nidoking, Lando, etc., doesn't need any condition to get this bonus. It's there from the get go. Secondly, in a real battle scenario, your game plan -and win condition- changes depending on MU. What this means is the following: you aren't using Kingambit's ability in every battle. In some battles Kingambit may be an early sack; in others, you can't afford to lose 2 or 3 Pokémon, not even in the late game. What this means when we translate it's meaning again is the following: not only does Kingambits need half your team to be fainted to get a truly great bonus -not broken, just great-, but you can't afford to get this bonus in every battle. Comparatively, Intimidate, Sheer Force, Tinted Lens, Levitate, Moxie, Beast Boost or Regenerator, but I'd keep going with less broken -yet great- abilities, are there from the beginning to the end, and all of them share the same crucial trait: are non-circumstantial. They need no support and they need no gameplan involved to work. Its outcome is always the same and it's always fulfilled by just sending the mon out.
Now, in this context of true battle scenarios, do you think it's still broken that a Pokémon like Kingambit can potentially, in the best case scenario and against all odds possible, come to the battlefield as a last mon scenario, at 100% HP with no hazards nor previous chip, get a 50% maximum boost -which equals a Choice Band- and put X work as a 50 base speed mon -even if it has suckers, which relies in prediction-? I don't think it's broken at all. What are you getting in most cases? A 20 to 30% boost to put some work in one, maybe 2 mons? What are you sometimes-sometimes not (most of the times not) getting in the best of the bests of the bests cases? A Choice Band? Ok, it's great, it should be like that for those rare cases in which you play all your battle with 5 mons and Kingambit is not only your last mon sent, but also the one that can make a comeback out of 50 base speed and prediction alone.
Calcs show how powerful a Choice Band provided by 5 fainted members from a base 135 Attack plus Life Orb/Black Glasses/heck, another Choice Band is, but they don't show how often this is going to occur, and the impact of it ocurring in those cases isn't even enough to outclass mons that already exist and aren't dependant on any shenanigan to achieve the same results.
