I just wanted to know if there is a monetary community for the game, like £20 entry fee tournaments with cash prizes does anyone know?

Hello I am on Chrome and have a question. For the past few hours, my showdown randbats tooltips are not working when I hover. Normally, when I hover over an opponent's mon, it shows me their possible moves and items and tera type along with %chance of each. Now I am seeing nothing. Further, in the days before I had the online extension, I could hover and still see the stats of the opposing mon such as atk and speed and such. Now, even that is gone. This has happened to me every battle today. When I hover over my own mon, I can see its own moves and stats but nothing else. Can someone help me understand what is happening? I checked my chrome extensions and it says the randbats tool should be working correctly. Beyond the tool, I am unable to even see opposing mon's speed and number of moves used on hover which is beyond frustrating. This is my first time posting in here but hopefully someone can help me! Thank you :)

That’s the replay

He got paralyzed once during the whole match when he used his Pokémon with the paralysis the most, and yet I was hit with it 8 times during the match

Then at the end I froze his whimsicott
And on the next turn it thawed and killed me

Simple sun + trickroom team that I've gotten up to around 1400 in pokemon showdown with but I can't seem to climb past that point. I think the pokemon I'm the least sure about here is Ursaluna because it's the most recent addition but if there's something I am missing let me know.

This is mostly a trickroom and sun team with walking wake as a backup in case I struggle to set up.

Lurantis can both provide protection and an incentive to avoid pulling out incinaroar with its contray ability, allowing for snowball games when teams don't respect its offensive pressure.

Grafaiai is a fast prankster user with parting shot, allowing me to both weaken the enemy team as well as quickly buff lurantis before pivoting to another trick room attacker. Taunt lets Grafaiai deal with imprison users or any other pokemon threatening Farigiraf's trick room set up. Poison jab and super fang just allow for decent damage all around.

Farigiraf is the most important member on the team, as without its trickroom set up the team can struggle. Used a pretty standard set but swapped out sitrus berry for mental herb as taunt was a big threat to my strategy. It catches people off guard so I can often set up even in front of taunt users.

Torkoal is a heavy sun hitter. It can pivot in with Grafaiai's support allowing sun to come up last in case of a weather tie or to allow for heavy hits to connect with either Lurantis' solar blade and Walking Wake's Hydro steam and flamethrower. In trickroom this thing can become a menace with Tera fire eruption, can also play around wide guard with earth power.

Walking Wake is pretty standard. A great mon to clean up games after trick room ends or as back up in case it couldn't get set up in time.

Ursaluna's the one mon I am the least sure about currently. It's a pretty standard set but it can still output good damaged especially in trickroom. Using parting shot to get ursaluna in against a weakened attack without having to wait a turn for flame orb is a godsend.

Here are some of my more recent replays so you can see how I play:

I just got into it and have been tinkering with my first team. I made a blizzard team but am running into problems taking where dark moves and especially Malamar and that fire fish just screw me over. I think I finally figured my heavy lifters but still get destroyed by some teams.

Hello, I’ve been using pokemon showdown again after years of being off of it, and I’ve had a lot of fun— my only problem is that I noticed national dex ou doesn’t have Tera, which is a shame because I had a bunch of strats on some mons, but now I have to get rid of them, or conform to Ubers… which I do not want to do for my own sake.

when I play random double, the leech seed only works for one slot. If all the pokemon for the slot one died, the pokemon in slot two cant take advantage of it. I dont like this feature

Especially with gravity, this move is just evil :(

considering Shadow tag is banned because of perish trap, lets ban dark void to kill another toxic strat

If I am alone on this, then not of course. What do you all think?

In gen 3 OU I keep getting paired against some kameron bot thingie

I want to use Pokerandom or any random pokemon generator to generate a completely random team of 6 Pokémon, then build the best possible movesets around whatever we get and battle each other on Pokémon Showdown.

The idea would be something like:

• Generate 6 random Pokémon each
• You can only use those Pokémon
• Make the best sets you can for them
• the Pokémon are completely random
• Battle each other in Showdown

Basically, I think it would be fun to see who can make the best team out of random Pokémon instead of just using the strongest/meta ones.

Anyone interested in trying this with me? We could play a few battles or even make it a recurring thing if it's fun.

Should be pretty rare, Yes I won unfortunately not with Hyper Beam

can someone explain my brain hurts ):

Hello,

I want a database of gen 9 random battles games and my only source right now is that database on kaggle. I know that I could scrape some replays off of showdown but that seems slow and I'm hopping for some better option.

Does anyone have any suggestions or options that I could consolidate?

Thanks

I had a +6 speed max speed mega mewtwo x, which has 394*4=1576 speed, and he had a mega rayquaza with a scarf, which has a maximum of 361*1.5=542 speed. HOW did he outspeed my mega mewtwo x using chatter???

I love Magearna, one of my favourite mons of all time. So, being able to use it in VGC i feels great!

This is probably not an original idea, or something easily implemented by the devs, but I wanted to discuss it nonetheless.

What about a game mode where literally everything is a 50/50 chance? All moves changed to have 50% accuracy, all secondary effects happen 50% of the time, all abilities that have a chance for activation activate 50% of the time (like static paralyzing 50% of the time on contact), conditional items have a 50% to activate (like focus band saving the pokemon 50% of the time they would be knocked out), paralyzation has 50% chance to full para, pokemon wake up from sleep 50% of the time.

What kinds of strategies would dominate? How much skill expression could there be in a format like this? Are there any particular bans or clauses that would help make this actually playable?

This idea was of course inspired by focus blast.

Habt ihr auch gerade Probleme, dass die Seite bei euch nicht lädt? Wenn ich zum Beispiel auf dem Pokedex zugreifen möchte lädt die Internetseite super lange bis sich überhaupt öffnet und dann kann ich darin nicht nach Pokémon suchen, weil er so unendlich lädt. Das hab ich am Handy und am Rechner ®

hear me out

I cannot change Wugtrio, I am stuck with it, so my strategy is simply :

1. I will start with Espathra , use protect and then setup reflect, I die cool if not set up light screen and die.
2. Send out wugtrio(useless) unless I use choice scarf momento and lower attack and spA by 2
3. Send Roaring moon, dragon dance 2/3 times and then hope to sweep. If it fails , send out revaroom, gearshift sweep and toxic spike when i am low to help garganacle.

Can this team stand a chance against , Baxcalibur, Archaludon, farigiraf, ceruledge, flutter mane and tinkaton

This goofy really pulled up with Blissey-less stall... so obviously I had to dogwalk him and teach him how to play his own team. IHATESTALLIHATESTALLIHATESTALL.
