@The_Ctes I should be able to play anytime in the evening (after like 5PM EST) except for Fridays.


Today and Thursday are bad then, tomorrow is good after 5PM EST, perhaps from an hour later or so. Otherwise the weekend is fine too.

Tomorrow works for me.


Great, let's do it then. I'll PM you when I'm available, probably am already at 5PM EST, but just in case.

FOUR NEW CHALLENGERS APPEAR!

Due to an oversight where I left out Tera (my fault) and Wigs forgot to sign up (his fault), I was left with two people who should have been in and were not. To make sure to keep all groups fair, I then went on to recruit two more users, to make one extra user per group, playing the person who would have had a bye each week.

Group A: Tera
Group B: Wigs
Group C: Wicklebee
Group D: Stevie

With that in mind, here are you additional week 1 matches:
@Shonen_Bat vs. @Terastodon
@WiggumFan267 vs. @red13n
@WickIebee vs. @Bane_Of_Despair
@Shaduln vs. @Stevie3V

If you'd read my Google Doc you would have known that! (I think, don't remember exactly what I wrote)

Also the really frustrating thing about Toxapex is Regenerator imo, but yeah it's got a lot of good stuff.

It's hard for me to look at the Doc on my phone so I've been slow about it. That move did nothing back to me for so many attacks. I thought it was just a different Detect/Protect move and then the poison got me

Here might be a helpful tip then depending on what you consider modern. You can't burn Fire types, poison Poison types, paralyze Electric types and grass types can't put grass Pokemon to sleep with Sleep Powder or other Grass sleep moves.

There's a command that lets you look up a move in the chat of Pokemon Showdown (/data - so for example "/data flamethrower" will give info about Flamethrower.)

Can make a more detailed post after getting home from work explaining this and other commands and similar things you can learn just from the Showdown interface.

I'd have to double check but I think in some cases /data gives information that /dt doesn't, though in general you're right. Most of the /dt information is never relevant, so I generally use /data since it's easier to look at, unless I know whatever I need is only given by /dt. (Most commonly that is figuring out stuff related to weight or what class of moves a certain move is in and whether or not it makes contact)

Not sure what witchcraft you're using, but if you put everything in the same spoiler tag, it makes everything show a once, which is what happened with your post.

Oh yeah I said I was going to make a post on useful commands. To use these you just type the command into the chat and hit enter. Anything in parentheses in the command means you can input any pokemon or item or move or whatever there. (No one else will see that you enter the command, although you can replace / with ! to instead broadcast it to your opponent/spectators if you want.)

/weakness (pokemon) - Tells what weaknesses, resistances, and immunities the given Pokemon has. Note this doesn't take abilities into account, so like it will say Flygon takes neutral damage from Ground moves even though it is actually immune because of it's ability Levitate.

/data (pokemon/move/item/ability) - Basically just tells you information about whatever you are inputting. So for Pokemon it gives types, possible abilities, and base stats. Moves it will give things like type, BP, PP, what it does, whether it's physical or special, etc. Items and abilities it basically just gives a description.

/dt (pokemon/move/ability/item) - Same thing as /data but gives a bit more information in addition to what's given by /data. In particular the useful things I can remember that are in this but not /data are the priority level of moves, the weight of Pokemon (also conveniently it directly tells what BP that converts to for Grass Knot and Low Kick), whether or not it's a contact move, and any special classes a move falls into (ie. punch or kick moves, or other similar groups).

/learn (pokemon), (move) - Tells you whether or not the Pokemon you input is able to learn the move you input.

There might be others I'm not remembering, but pretty sure these are the main ones I use. One other point of note:

-Hovering over the opponent's active Pokemon gives a host of useful information. The most useful is that it will display a speed range from the opponetn--for example, "74 to 116 Spe (before items/abilities/modifiers)". The important thing to note is that generally speaking, the Pokemon will always have the highest speed within that range in Random Battles, which allows you to determine exactly the opponent's speed. The exceptions to this are if the opponent has a Hidden Power type which forces a reduction of speed (in which case they will have 1 less than the high end of the range), or if they have a move like Gyro Ball or Trick Room which benefits from low speed (in which case they will be at the low end). In addition to the speed thing, you can also see things like possible abilities the Pokemon has, what moves it's used, and how much PP they have left.

As an update to this, current calculations I've done suggest that hotdogturtle is right and this is no longer the case.

Stall had been my preferred style in OU for many months until Dugtrio's recent ban. And yeah, I was surprised at non geomancy considering this is randoms.
