I doubt that anyone will see this but just in case someone is ever looking for me, I've decided to leave Smogon. I may still rarely lurk but I don't plan on posting again and I stopped playing competitively a while ago. I did enjoy much of my time on the forums and playing, and I feel like I...

Hey, I like Alolan Golem too but the problem with listing calcs like that is that it doesn't consider how a battle could actually play out. What I mean is that most of the defensive mons you listed, like Blissey, Dondozo, or Corviknight, have no reason to stay in on Alolan Golem so your opponent...

I'm retired from playing and only happened to come across this while randomly lurking, so everything I say very well could be off, and if that's the case, I preemptively apologize. I thought that in gen 7, a mon's initial IVs did determine its Hidden Power type but that you could use Bottle...

I'll momentarily come out of my hibernation just to say that as always, I'm rooting for the BIGs, but I also want the Tigers to do well for z0m and Gama. Good luck to all of the teams though! :blobthumbsup:

I don't want to speak for Proftreez, but I believe that they were implying that since you seem to mainly/only run an HO team with Thundurus-T, you may have a skewed perspective on how good Torn-T is, because that's a rough matchup for Torn to run into. To throw my perspective in there, I think...

Ok, thank you for the information. Also in case anyone is confused, I deleted my initial post because I realized that this thread was for data and mechanics and it may have been more suited in the other thread regarding returning Pokemon, but you must have already started replying to it prior to...

This is obviously a subjective question but how necessary is it to have a Scarf user on bulky offense in the current meta? My background is primarily in SM and it feels almost mandatory to run a Scarfer on BO in that tier to not get run over by many of the very fast threats like Mega-Lop...

Thank you, I made the changes. This should be done now.

Thank you, I made the changes and I credited both you and Tranquility. I believe that this should be done now.

Thank you very much, particularly for the guide outlining the differences with Stadium; they were more extensive than I thought.

I could be wrong about this, but didn't RBY take some mechanics from Stadium (like where Sleep Clause originated), but not others, like the fixed Focus Energy? Why is that? Are there some downsides to how Stadium functions that people didn't like as much?

Don't worry man, I'm always rooting for you

I also would like to have Sleep banned in every generation except for RBY, since Sleep is an integral part of the metagame and there is at least precedent from Stadium (although as an aside, there are other mechanics differences from Stadium that aren't implemented on Showdown, like how Focus...

You're never able to see the stats of your opponent's Pokemon directly though, so there shouldn't be a need for them to be altered; it's not a buff like from Protosynthesis or after a move like Swords Dance has been used, which are displayed directly on the screen for both players. Stat buffs...

Thank you - I implemented the changes. GP Team

Alright, thanks; I implemented those changes and proofread it again. Hopefully it works with me tagging the gp team in this comment: GP Team

Thank you for the check! And all good with the delay, so no need to apologize. I implemented the changes.

I don't want to get into a Garganacl debate so please don't take this as me arguing in favor of Garg getting banned or anything, but I think that this logic is a little disingenuous. The meta has adapted to Garg via things like Covert Cloak (which is still almost always an inferior item that...
