    Dynamax: Do Not Ban
  2. SS Random Battle Dynamax Suspect - Voter Identification Thread (READ THE OP!)

    Long time lurker, first time voter. Please let me know if there's something missing here. I am registered as RBDS Random Name and I vote do not ban.
  3. 5th Gen Breeding Guide (WIP)

    Just checking something with the conversion of ratios to fractions, you said: "1:125, or 1 out of every 125 eggs", but from my limited knowledge, 1:125 = 1/126. Think of 1:2, that is not 1 out of every 2, clearly, as the first has a smaller chance of occurring than the second. It is actually...
  4. Articuno

    For the Mind Reader set, why not have Roar as an option over Sub or Roost, it may not be amazing, but after MR, most people switch, why not cause another switch?
  5. Blaziken

    For whoever was talking about it: Speed Boost doesn't work on the turn of switch in. I've lost a match because of that mechanic, so I've learned the hard way. Blaziken will be awesome this gen, but it will be manageable. All of the counters listed essentially show that it won't be too...
  6. Lead, Follow, or Get Out of the Way

    On SR: Shouldn't it still have some prevalence at least among the <5th Gen Pokes, they can be traded over (and there have to be some that don't need Dream World). On Spinblocking: We lose Rotom, but I think the candle may just be a bigger gain.
  7. Base Stats of New Pokemon

    OK, I'm not sure if anyone else has done this, and while I do still think that it will be Uber in the end, there is stuff against it: Ononokusu 76/90/70 Defenses, with 4/0/0 that's you get (correct me if I'm wrong) 294/216/176. An important statistic to look at there is that CB Scizor's Bullet...
  8. Official Smogon YouTube Thread

    I think that it's hard to tell with either of them, it would probably be worth trying to test a narrated video, and put in the description, say if you prefer this or the others...
  9. Prolific Smogon Battlers - September 2009

    I find it hard to believe that people do 3 battles at once. I tried doing 2 once and found it less fun... Although I'm generally doing other things at the same time.
  10. Defending in Gen IV - Defense vs Resistances

    Another great example for that would be Empoleon (as a defensive Pokemon [which let's face it, we all thought it would be at first]), who has some great resistances, but has those key weaknesses that stop it from being greatly effective in that job (although I still use it, good for Choice users).
  11. Defending in Gen IV - Defense vs Resistances

    Well, you mean crucial weaknesses, doesn't Aggron only have three (but they're biggies). Whilst it's a bit off topic, I should note that lots off resistances even with some crucial weaknesses (case in point: Steel / Fighting). EDIT: Objection, my point about offensive Pokemon refers to that...
  12. Legalistion: It's Coming.

    I'll just put in my two cents. I think it's ridiculous that people go to gaol for taking any kind of drug, often simply because they have an addiction. However, I do think that we shouldn't just go "LEGALISE!" without thinking first, just off the top of my head, there are two big things to...
  13. Defending in Gen IV - Defense vs Resistances

    Well, I wouldn't call Pain Splite reliable recovery... Anywho, I'd like to add Gliscor, good defence, OK HP, reliable recovery, great typing, still packs a punch with Earthquake, sets up rocks, has other supporting options like Knock Off, and has the added bonus of the opponent fearing a Baton...
  14. What is happening to me..?

    I'll agree with everyone and say its coincidence. As for the gay stuff, are you sexually attracted to the same gender? Its not easy to tell, and I can't tell you what its like from experience, but I know that I'm attracted to the same gender, nothing I can do about it, same thing goes for if...
  15. Official Smogon YouTube Thread

    Of course, but even if Garchomp is made, I think that it would be good to make the video, so that the youtube community understands the process. Although I'll be out of the country by that stage, so I was mistaken, I probably can't help...
  16. Official Smogon YouTube Thread

    Although, I don't see why it wouldn't be good for its own video, the idea is to bring in the people who tend to hate smogon, and have no real understanding of how things work, they're probably not going to watch it if it's just on some battle, but have a much better chance if it's called...
  17. Strategy Pokedex Advanced Search Options

    I like that, similar to serebii's "Moveset Checker", but for every possible factor, and actually mentioning whether it's competitively useful (eg. you could put in BoltBeam, and you'd get the Pokemon that can use it, and not Rhyperior).
  18. Official Smogon YouTube Thread

    The annoying people will probably read it though. And it might put them in the minority of youtube rather than the majority (not kidding about that one). I know quite a few of these people, so if you want any tips (probably won't need them), just ask. The best advice I can be, is be *really*...
  19. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 20 (READ THE OP)

    Yup (if it is an egg move, I forget). If it's not an egg move, but a level up move, you need a male and female with DD.
  20. Nation in Crisis: The U.S.A. Health Care Debate

    I'll say that in Australia, we have a similar system to what is being proposed, and it works, not perfectly, but better than the system in America. I think that everyone deserves health care. There are plenty of people in terrible situations that can't afford it and need it. And, I'll...
