    I'm aware showdown has a multiple alternative URLs such as sim.smogon.com-80.psim.us (I think that was one). Could someone list all of them? Also is there a way to connect to a showdown server not through psim.us? (for partially offline coding, blocked psim.us) Specifically, I'd could use...

    This post is partially to DEG Sounds great! I'm working on an informational post on what Species Clause does, just to help clarify any confusion some people have. On the other hand, keeping Species Clause is perfectly fine. However, many people believed that it was unjustified when...

    Awesome post, but don't ban my baby ;_; Metagross-Mega can also run support moves like Rest and Hone Claws quite effectively and defeat some of the so called counters.

    Since Power Construct doesn't activate until you're low HP and activates after healing berries (at end of turn), so the extra HP only makes a difference in a few situations. Don't get me wrong, its good, but not anywhere near broken. Also DEG, please unban Mud Bomb and Muddy Water. Obviously...

    Everyone, READ EVERYTHING and nothing less. For a while now I've been constantly hearing two sides of the Kyurem-Black ban argument, and neither of them have convinced me. Perhaps I'll share why. By the end of this post, you'll know exactly what the real problem is, and you'll know exactly...

    1v1 - The Old Repository

    Cool sets, but guys... WTF is Snorlax doing in B rank? With 10+ possible sets each capable of beating 60-70% of the meta, from Normalium Z, to Curse, to Stockpile, to Counter, and beyond, its ready for nearly every mon and anyone who doesn't prepare for multiple Snorlax sets in the current...

    Hi! New laptop and stuff... I'm back! Heres my thoughts on a couple issues... I'm sure that everyone would agree that Darkrai and Marshadow would at least have a big impact on the Deoxys-Defense ban, and it would be a waste of time if we maybe ban it only for a retesting soon later. Not that...

    New Name and Profile Change Requests [READ THE OP]

    Hi, I got an odd situation and I'm trying to follow the rules. So, I've been using this account for at least a year (not crazy active, but now a regular), and it used to match with my PS name BattleDragon. For a while now however, I've been using the PS names Iv1 and 1vI (I'm a regular 1v1 OM...

    Quite a few of us have wanted something NEW for this metagame, and we finally got it. BTW, I'm not talking about Blaziken. Mega-Heracross (and Mega-Houndoom as well, but thats lame) recently became usable on PS! This means Gyarados-Mega, Sturdies, and a lot other mons like Slowbro...

    I was gonna make a long elaborate post about Blaziken and whether or not its broken... but its not even that good IMO. The real question however.... is it worth to go for reqs? :|

    Thats exactly why its really bad ;D A mixed Blaze attacker might be a weird set, but still bad. Either way, I guess this is a good reference for another set like Protect + Endure you shouldn't use~

    This is the first time I've ever been told Meloetta is actually over-rated. I'm shocked. Anyways, I run a completely different Meloetta set than the standard in order to beat the threats I want it to. A MegaGross partner should "beat completely different things than metagross" in order for...

    Metagame 1v1 Metagame Discussion

    I was tagged so I must say something. It is true double or triple MegaGross can beat a large chunk of the meta, but I value running Meloetta alongside MegaGross just as much, and TBF, Meloetta does the job just as good already. If anything, I'm leaving myself open to lose to mons like Char-Y...

    This is mostly true. Yes species clause might not have too much of an impact, but I think we should let the people vote to determine that. It is also true 3 identical mon teams were quite uncommon, but I actually encountered a lot of double Charizard-Mega teams last gen and have also...

    I agree that everything listed could be suspected, along with maybe Darkrai in the distant future (opinions on each mon are different) Just a random note, MegaMence also loses to a lot of the new z-move glass cannons. The damage nerf is quite crucial as well tbh. On a side note I ruined...

    I thought I made it clear these weren't 100% accurate but rather the closest examples I could pull out of my hat. The point was simply that the two mons have a 60%/75% chance of being stronger. Bringing that up was fine though, it is worth noting :)

    Does Jirachi Deserve a ban? Let me start off with the fact I really don't care what happens with Jirachi. There are better mons (in my opinion) like Metagross-Mega that I'd rather use. Hopefully that proves I have no bias going into this problem. Ok, with that clarified let me get on with...
