How do I get notifications for tournaments starting in the Randbats room? Whenever I ask there I seem to get contradictory answers. I have Tournaments: Notifications in my Showdown account settings but I don't receive them, which has cause me to miss out on a bunch of tournaments that start...

If "all mons having their best possible set" is a core development principle of randbats then why are so many of the sets absolute garbage?

Gotta say the way some people make nominations here is pretty funny because they're like. Pokemon #1: Awful trash. It really struggles to fulfill the role it's intended to fill. The meta has not been kind to it lately and I'm tired of pretending it's still good. A+ -> A Pokemon #2: Really...

So, what exactly is the point of this thread? Everyone else is using the other one.

Pretty sure not every pokemon can be obtained at 1.5 HP in game. Also complex bans like this are generally discouraged. If we're only allow dynamax but at minimum HP then why don't we allow Mega Rayquaza but with no EVs and 0 IVs in every stat? Same logic.

The fact that Strong Jaw boosts fishious rend is a fairly recent discovery for it. If it had been found out earlier it probably would have a much bigger usage.

Probably. They have different stats and movepools. They technically have one different ability as well but given both of them will just use psychic surge that doesn't really matter lol.

Why doesn't Balanced Hackmons mention anything about Eternamax Eternatus? The one with more than 1000 BST. I don't expect it to be legal in the metagame, but I at least expected a quick ban, but the thread doesn't say anything about it. Is it because it's not playable in game, despite being...

People on the VR have a weird habit of calling any Pokémon that should drop shit, and any pokemon that should rise good, even if those end up in A- and C+ respectively.

When will the VR thread be up?

That’s not how tiers works. Naganadel was usable in Ubers even before its ban.

Can you test what happens when attack and special attack are the same?

What happens if both attack and special attack are equal?

What if Attack and Special attack are equal?

Well that’s weird. Try the battle mechanics research thread in the Smogon Metagames forum.

It always hits the enemy's special defence.

Could anyone give some good replays of Ultra Necrozma in action?

Will Ultra Necrozma be ranked separately from DM and DW Necrozma?

I don't think that's gonna work very well. In this case the only thing that the base form affects in wether you have Moongeist or Sunsteel. Obviously in you want Moongeist, you'll have to use Wings. But Mane is superior as a base form in every other case.
