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.
Just built my first showdown team, I selected the option to upload the team to the Showdown Database to save across devices and was given the message "You cannot currently use the teams database".
Is this a paid feature? Maybe based on the age of the showdown account?
