Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
We only had 8 players at our tourney last night in Phoenix (Tempe to be exact) but it was still a lot of fun. Mid season is coming up on February 5 so if anyone is in the Tucson/Phoenix area let's all mob deep to that.
So something odd just happened to me on battle spot.
>I have out Aegislash
>Opponent sends in Porygon2, no ability activates
>I switch to Toxapex, Porygon2 Trace activates, traces Regenerator.
Why did this happen? Is it because Stance Change cannot be Traced? I'm bamboozled

Also I think trick room is definitely the most viable set as it takes only one turn to set up (Like SG) except you can dump what would've been your speed investment into bulk, giving it that much more staying power.
