I'm sure that leaving a Pokemon exactly the same from Gen. 4 to Gen. 5 isn't possible, Umbreon Dan. For one thing, Gen. 5 will have a different TM list. Every generation so far has had a different TM list than its predecessor, so everything points to Gen. 5 having this too. Since the Pokemon TM...

We all know that Gen 5 will be released soon. We all equally know that the CAP Pokemon were created with Gen 4 in mind. So, this thread is to shed a light on what will happen with existing CAP Pokemon once Gen 5 is released. Will they be 'updated' for Gen 5, so as to be playable there as...

You could also play the original Sonny!

I know that it is not frequently used, but Toxicroak is a counter to most, if not all, Voodoom sets, especially the ones that carry only STAB moves. EDIT: Because of this, I'd actually prefer Psychic as the third move... or, at least, that it is mentioned. It works well against Heracross too...

I'm not entirely sure if this question fits here, but I'm sure this thread is the closest thing for my question, so here goes. I'm back from Slovenia, and have recorded about 3 hours of footage from my camcorder, amounting to about 24GB of footage (1920x1080 50i format, if you're asking how...

Congrats on your achievement at VGC! Do you happen to have Maltese descendants? I'm asking because Rizzo is a Maltese surname.

Do you have Maltese ancestors, bluecookies? I'm asking because Rizzo is a Maltese surname. Congratulations!

Jibaku capefeather danmantincan I'm actually a little bit disappointed that 0 out of the 9 movepools include Mean Look or Block. :(

noobiess, I kinda prefer the standing one more. Also, the eyes of your sprite are not obviously buttons, unlike those of most of the other sprite submitters.

I don't agree with making the Stats Ratings article as a mathematical proof; it would be unreadable for 95% of the Smogon community. However, I have written a mathematical proof for this, which you can access here. Note that the proof assumes the Version 1 of BSR, not version 2, but Version 2...

I awnna b in smogon afctor 2011 :( Jokes aside, may the most telanted win!

Since Mean Look seems to be going to be allowed (though it's not listed in the OP), Perish Song would ruin the concept of this Pokemon, making it a Perish-trapper with similar SpD to Mismagius, better Def, and better Spe. So I'd push Perish Song to disallowed. A similar argument can be made...

Allowed: Acupressure. For flavour, and because it is a competitive non-attacking move. Allowed: Mean Look / Block. It would be nice to trap a Pokemon for Togekiss to deal with it. A trapping move wouldn't be that useless either. I'm envisaging switching Voodoom against Blissey for instance...

Why is Focus Sash Sturdy such a big deal when Stealth Rock still fucks you up?

http://www.smogon.com/cap/articles/stat_ratings This should be revamped completely to show how the Version 2 stats are calculated, not the Version 1 stats as shown there. People PM me about this all the time, saying "the calculations in the article do not correspond to the numbers I get from...
