    Proposal Addressing Smogon's 10+ Year old Usage Stat Problems

    Ooh yes this would be quite good since it would be combined with a lower deviation threshold. I definitely agree that sample size is the most important thing to care about. This would help against the hitmontop problem too (as single players would have less influence), which is arguably the most...

    Proposal Addressing Smogon's 10+ Year old Usage Stat Problems

    Thanks for all the comments! Overall, I would like to state that I understand the issues (apart from the cutoff) are not that important for the most part. Realistically, no average person is going to do this, as it requires a significant amount of technical knowledge to actually pull off any...

    Proposal Addressing Smogon's 10+ Year old Usage Stat Problems

    Ooh, that's a great suggestion. Thanks for the idea :blobthumbsup: I'd be more than happy to plot these out -- only issue is I don't have access to any of the data. If anyone could get me the 2016-08 RU logs (or any other logs with situations similar to gen 6 Ambipom), or something from gen 9...

    Proposal Addressing Smogon's 10+ Year old Usage Stat Problems

    TL;DR -- Here's what's wrong The tiering cutoff definition allows for a pokemon to be both truly OU and not designated OU because the percentage cutoff is based off unweighted usage stats, but percentages themselves are calculated using weighted stats (i.e. the cutoff calculation method is...

    Smogon Simple Questions & Suggestions Thread

    Is there any way for unbadged users to make a thread in policy review? I tried submitting a post request yesterday, but it requires you to link a thread. I can assure this is no joke post -- it's about addressing 10+ year old issues with the usage stats based on research I've done for 1.5 years.

    Resource BW Simple Questions, Simple Answers Thread

    I remember hearing that playing gen 5 OU is similar to rock paper scissors in the way that weatherless, sand, and rain fare against each other from one of BKC's videos. Anyone know of any posts elaborating this further? Not sure how to specifically look for it, but I'm interested in reading more.

    Metagame Doubles Little Cup

    Not sure if this is a mistake, but this format straight up does not exist anymore in the team builder, and there's no replacement scarlet/violet format. I was mostly looking for this in terms of a team validator, and I am not sure how to replicate this now.

    Gen 8 BSS Teambuilding is a huge headache ??? Probably some dubious inheritance error. This is not just for roost either. Toxic is equally as frustrating to slot in BSS from the teambuilder. Hope this can get fixed quickly, considering this is the current gen. BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED -...

    Gen 4's HP Bar Speed is Very Competitively Relevant

    Posting this in Ruins of Alph because I don’t have permissions for Policy Review and would also like the ability to get responses. TL;DR The gen 4 blissey meme is competitively relevant, but Pokemon Showdown does nothing to handle it. Watch my video to learn why. For those of you who don’t...

    Can someone help me find threads that motivated crobat's suspect in gen 4 UU? Every time I use the search bar on this forum, the results are all after 2009, which is after it got banned and therefore useless.

    Hi, I'm wondering what happens to metronome boosts in gen 6/7 if you use secret power/nature power in one terrain and then have it change terrain midway through. Will you lose the boosts or no?

    Rip, couldn't figure out a way to set up hacks for gen 2, but I found a more relevant bug in gen 5 instead that's actually fairly easy to pull off in a normal battle (with cartridge footage!). Magic Bounce should not reset the metronome item counter. This is also not limited to affecting gen 5...

    Hi there, I'm back with another obscure bug. I was testing out nightmare in generation 2, and noticed that it doesn't actually get cleared when you cure yourself of sleep via sleep talk -> heal bell, and then it carries over, which is definitely wrong. Also, can someone verify that nightmare...

    How many pixels does the health bar in sword & shield have? I know it isn't 48 because all the vgc games for sword and shield have an /100 denominator. Bulbapedia doesn't seem to have an answer, and I can't find anything on it very easily.
