An old time lurker here at Smogon asking for some advice for Super Singles. Currently on my first 50 streak and wondering what I should change, if anything, on my current 'mons, or if there's one I should swap out for something better. I tried to do the best I could with pokemon I had sitting in...

Does Magnet Rise allow it's user to use priority in Psychic Terrain?

How strong is the water Z-move coming off this? Is it able to bust through some of those walls?

Could you instruct then something like dragon tail for +0 priority?

Wouldn't Z-Natures Madness be good on this? With such a high speed any "counter" switching in isn't going to like having 75% of it's health removed, especially since Tapu Koko could possibly still do 25% plus damage to them.

In situations like this they usually are (like Scyther and Scizor having the same BST but different tiers), but I'd be surprised if they ended up in different ones.

Smogons policy in the old days was to emulate the karts and it's gameplay. Almost every battle in the karts is 1v1, and it's how a majority of people play. It also allows you to build a full team of six, as opposed to VGC style choose four of six. Smogons does support VGC and doubles, but the...

Z-Splash Swift Swim Kingdra Outrage anyone? Z-Yawn giving +1 Speed would be a good to follow up with another stat boosting move. Z-Bulk up/Z-Curse might be good for Pokemon like Conkeldurr who would love to learn Swords Dance, +2 Att and +1 Def in one move isn't too shabby. The Z weather...

How would a Z-Conversion Porygon-Z look like though? Perhaps Shadow Ball/Tri-Attack/Recover/Conversion? That way you have the option of Z moving Tri-Attack if you need the boost instantly (and you still have an Adaptability boosted move if for whatever reason you have to switch out after the...

I assume they'll work like Arceus' Plates, which cannot be Knocked Off.

If only it could learn Pursuit. Mind games with U-Turn will be great though.

When I first saw this (before moveset and bst were revealed) I thought it might be ok as a physical fairy. Fairy/Fire/Rock also gives it completely unresisted coverage. The result is... well, it's stats and movepool are "just" too low for OU. I think it'll do quite well in other tiers. Will find...

Hey all, looking for a HA Tyrunt, female pref, PM me with what you need :)

What would you like to trade for a tyrunt? I'm mainly just looking for the HA, such a restricted event :toast:

Username: Pagz Age: 24 Pokemon Online/Pokemon Showdown/Shoddy Username: Pagz Your timezone and usual hours of availability:+10GMT, availability as needed What tier do you want to learn?:XY OU Tell us a little about yourself:Played a lot of Diamond/Pearl OU back in the day and was high up in the...

Donphan @ Cutsap berry Lonely (+att, -def), 252 att, 252 spd, 6 hp -Counter -Flail -Earthquake -Ice Shard On the same vein as the Aggron set over in that thread, except with some priority. Sturdy brings a lot of opportunity for these pokes, it should be interesting to see how they go. Calcs...

Just wondering about the testing of Magic Mirror, could it also be tested to see if it works even if the user uses a move such as Protect, or if it is not able to be hit (such as if it's using Fly)?

If a pokemon with the ability Magic Mirror uses protect and the opponent uses spikes, is it still reflected?

When I saw this change I was thinking more of a choice specs set, switching Espeon in and out. For example if you know they're going to use Toxic/Thunder wave next turn, swap in Espeon, as they switch hit the switch in with a strong hit, then switch out. A lot of things are faster then Espeon...
