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.
It’ll be a month or two before I get a chance to play the game, are there plans to work on an in-game viability tier list, or has the removal of the majority of trainer battles obviated the need for one?
Hi all, Klungar here. In the spirit of /u/mamamia1001's recent "What is your favourite Pokémon?" survey that blew up on Reddit, I wanted to ask a slightly different question, something I feel could help show what an idealized version of the Galar Dex might look like: "What are your favorite...
Don't forget that Zoroark will also be taking no damage if the opponent tries to use a Psychic attack to exploit Gengar's Poison typing. Gengar is your clear choice here.
Is there any place I'm likely to find Build Advice/RMT/Strategies for putting together a Drizzle+Swift Swim team? My brother and I are going to face off with Drizzle vs. Drought just for fun, and I'm looking for info in building such a team, even though I know the combo is banned in regular...
It only matters in that I was hoping to be able to pass the Psyshock it had learned through level-up down without having to go find the TM for it, and that I'll pretty much have to start over with my Timburr breeding because the one I kept from this latest batch with Drain Punch/Mach Punch was...
Anyone know why my Solosis eggs, which are being made with a Solosis knowing Psyshock, Shadow Ball, Calm Mind (all TMs) and Recover (Level Up move), and a Ditto, are being hatched knowing only Psywave? I understand them not knowing Recover, but what about the TMs? Why are those not being...
Unfortunately, that puts a serious damper on my habits of just throwing the cream of the crop of my recently hatched eggs back in the Day Care straight away. Guess I'm just going to have to take some time to Audino grind each batch before continuing on to the next one... Ugh.
Am I correct in my observation that, unlike in previous generations where the moves of your breeding partners were "locked in" when it came to the children they produced based on what they possessed when you deposited them, this version removes that feature and "allows" you to produce eggs...
Ditto the above poster. I've got my team set for my first run through of Black, where I'm trying to use the most efficient in-game team possible and not allowing for any outside assistance, but this morning I started planning for my second play through and decided I wanted to use pokes who were...
Is there any reason he can't be included with a caveat about needing access to the event, like the caveats for the pokes that need to be traded to evolve?
I think he meant 'region' like Kanto/Johto/Hoenn/etc. Still, thanks for the info! Once I figure out the voodoo necessary to get my 1st Gen DS to connect to my Nintendo USB WiFi on my Windows 7 computer, I'll be all set!
How early in the game can you transfer over last-gen pokes? I know the Pokeshifter doesn't open up until post-E4, but can someone with a copy of B/W merely trade them over to you before that? My first run through I'm definitely going to use only new guys and avoid any outside influence until...
