I think it's worth mentioning that there's a fundamental difference between a glitch that doesn't impede the game like Acid Rain and the Skydrop glitch and a bug that straight-up crashes the game, especially when the crash is triggered by using one of two new moves. Just because some...

I can't speak for the OU Council, but just at a glance, there are a LOT of questionable threats in OU right now. As it is, there are at least 6 mons on the Council's radar (source: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/on-the-radar.3587559/) and potentially more that can pop up after some mons...

That's not quite right. Stance Change only causes its base stats to change, not its total offensive and defensive stats. So if you invest in its Attack, even when it's in Shield mode, the Attack gain from those EVs will still remain. If you needed one that does a lot of damage, you would still...

If you have something to spread Paralysis, you may be able to get away with using Modest. I took the liberty of finding everything that outspeeds max speed Modest Mega Gardevoir, so if there's nothing on the list that you need Mega Gardevoir to check, you should be okay with using Modest 328 /...

While having 70% accuracy does cause massive frustration, because of how hard it hits when coming from Tornadus-T, and the fact that the odds are still in the user's favor that it'll hit, it forces you to play around it and assume the worst case scenario that it'll hit despite the 30% survival...

It's still 70% outside of rain. You've just been having a lucky streak. Give it some time, it'll happen eventually

It's not stickied, but it's linked in this thread: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/ou-forum-guide-and-announcements.3489308/ It's not the same as being openly visible from the top of the forum, but it's listed alongside other threads that also very good reads for new players, so it's at...

This thread has all of the battle clauses used in ORAS Ubers: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/rules-general-information-and-helpful-links.3536522/ As for the RMT subforum for Ubers teams, you can find it here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/forums/oras-other-teams.292/ They have particular...

Was anyone else expecting them to go more ham on BA if only because it's been in meta for about 2 years now?

You can read up on an outline for HO teams in the Teambuilding Guide

So this is getting really close a suspect test argument, which doesn't really belong here, but it sounds like you what you want goes beyond suspect, but rather a complete overhaul of mechanics to eliminate hax entirely. I'm sorry if you think tradition is a stupid argument, but at the end of the...

In addition to what HailFall said, one must remember that Blaziken was never banned for wallbreaking, but rather for its ability to efficiently clean weakened teams much like Greninja. After 1 speed boost, there is very little that can stop Blaziken from sweeping, and other than Azumarill and...

I'm not sure about killing a Pokemon, but there was a chart for the odds of losing a turn over time, which can be found here: LOOK -> XY OU Suspect Process, Round 2 - SWAG [SWAGGER BANNED TO UBERS]<- LOOK

Unaware ignores stat modifiers during damage calculation. So, it will ignore ATK and SpATK boosts from opposing Pokemon, but it doesn't affect Speed

Because some of us actually managed to go their entire Smogon career without ever noticing it and are now feeling a tad bit silly

At this point, so many of the names have been around for so long that changing them would bring needless confusion without any real net gain.

No. The odds of getting consistent evasion boosts with it on any mon are too low to really matter, so we never banned it
