I dont want sheer force to be nerfed, not at all. As for now there arent any strong users that I can recall. But am I the only one that gets irritated by the fact that its clearly a coding oversight that they just decided to say "ah whatever" and keep it like it and officialize it for decades?
Is Eric Kripke a zionist?
So, I was reading a post on twitter the other day saying how ironic it is that The Boys criticize a lot of stuff but never criticize the highly controvercial and criminal state of Israel, and It really is...
Kripke its of Jewish religious background so it does seem a little convenient that there is nothing of this aspect of political commentary coming from him in such an acid humor show...
related bonus: frenchie's actor is israeli and actually served the IDF
any format
Why does showdown puts evs in sp def instead of hp when theres only 2 left? I ran calcs of damage multiple times for a mod Im planning and unless I did it wrong every time HP is better every time. Not only is it flexible, sp def doesnt scale better. If it was defense I would understand, but only if body press was in the moveset. for sp def no reason whatsoever tho...
Friendly reminder the new champions teambuilder still doesnt show when you forget apply your evs and natures to your pokes so remember to check them always.
Does anyone have or would like to participate in a server for more rare metagames like nat dex AG, nat dex AG doubles, nat dex triples, nat dex rotation battle, nat dex NFE, VGC reg F, stuff like that?
Why is VGC reg F not a challengeable meta anymore? reg M-A is VERY incomplete. Reg I is impossible to play without restricteds. There is not any other challengeable complete VGC format in showdown anymore :(
I want to set trump card's pp to 6 so I can use grudge on it
(nat dex singles or doubles whatever)
Trump card is a terrible move but I wanna use it. All normal mons that learn it are physical oriented. All strategies I found so far revolve around using erie spell on my own poke, instruct, or tricking pressure to my opponent (which is the only one that works in singles) all suck.
for poke I tried dudunsparce, espeon and samuroth for damage dealers and oranguru, slowking galar, spiritomb, deoxys defense and dusknoir for support.
tomorrow Im gonna try mega khan on doubles even he has terrible spa cause 250 base power cant be ignored.
(nat dex)
Before gen 9 meloetta couldnt have a set with stab for both of her forms in the correct damage category since for some ungodly reason relic song doesnt change damage category. But now with tera blast that is possible!
I know that is still a terrible way of running her, she probably runs better abusing serene grace (and not goot at that too) her for changing set is just bad and seem to have no thought put into it cause they just didn't give her any moves that make good use of serene grace at all, and tera blast is no exception.
some time ago I had a discussion with someone and they were going on about the tera ban, how closed teamsheets promote bad teambuilding and that is matchup fishing, how frisk and other similar abilities arent valid counterplay, etc.
Weirdly enough here is Wolfey from 4 days ago on 5:50 saying how they used to use frisk noivern back on closed teamsheets days lol.

I wish that formats names were a bit more self explanatory. Overall I got that the most popular are reg I and F with I being the equivalent to ubers and F to OU kinda, but is there a summarized way to expalain all the others?
Genuinely How is Attract not a good move in doubles? pair it with thunder wave and you have almost 70% chance to render your opponent imobile. on doubles there is a wider chance your opponent is opposite gender, I always use females since starters have wider chance of being males and they are the best example I can think of of male dominant species.
Obs: even in singles I had some sucess with attract by using 3 rivalry females to destroy the opponent's females that ignore my sexy female attractions 💅💋
I think there may be a bugged interaction between flame burst and beast boost. I used it with blacephalon killing 2 poke and it didnt proc.
Are there any plans to put the calc display for power split in the game?
Why is mail illegal in nat dex? I wanted to use it as counterplay to knock off

Preciso de ajuda para usar golpes em dupla em lutas individuais. Sei que alguns simplesmente falham, mas outros podem ser usados em estratégias mais ousadas, e até mesmo os que falham podem funcionar de alguma forma maluca.
Eu achava impossível usar algo como heal pulse de outra maneira que não fosse troll, mas descobri que posso usar skill swap + magic bouce e ele volta direto para mim, haha.
Need help using doubles moves on singles. I know some just straight up fail, but some might be used for some cheesy strats, even the ones that fail may work in a crazy way somehow.
I thought it was impossible for something like heal pulse to be used in any other way other than trolling but I found out I could use skill swap magic bounce and it'd bounce right back haha.
