I read about the no national dex thing for SwSh, if that ends up being final then would gen 8 showdown have rules disallowing all pokemon except those that exist in the gen 8 dex? Seems like an unestablished precedent so maybe there are no thoughts by the Smogon on it yet.

Azumarill finally receives the recognition he deserves.

I took quite a while building the team. I put together an excel sheet with threats in OU that I thought were big and ranked the matchup each mon had against them at a 0-3, with 3 being threat and 0 being my mon can counter it. Taking a simple average for each team member shows me that Swampert...

Breloom @ Life Orb or Black Belt Ability: Technician EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Swords Dance - Mach Punch - Bullet Seed - Spore Breloom outspeeds both chansey and mega aggron, spores them, uses one swords dance, mach punches once while they are still asleep, and then...

I think I might have been going for a bulky/balanced team here, if that's the right word to call it. Diancie (Diancie-Mega) @ Diancite Ability: Magic Bounce EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Calm Mind - Moonblast - Power Gem - Earth Power Role: Primary setup sweeper, secondary...

Having it in the teambuilder is the primary situation where it would help. Once I'm battling I should already know what my chosen moves will do.

Is RMT the best place to post the team I've made and my replay list to garner feedback (not rating, but assistance to improve my team and also my playstyle)?

A few things I've thought of -Add a column for move descriptions to the teambuilder that explicitly lists the priority value of each move. It's a bit annoying to not have every attack committed to memory and have to google to make sure that something is definitely +1 when you read vague...

Hm I'm already using my mega slot, not sure if it's proper to start putting the progress of the team I've built ITT.

What mons can counter Tapu Bulu and Greninja simultaneously?

I can agree with it not being optimal for OU tiering, but the other half of my confusion lies in wondering how it can be considered weak enough that even UU isn't the place for him. It's almost as if tiers have half shifted up thanks to power creep, where OU is now partially ubers and UU is what...

I've been calcing with one of these new pokemon, Araquanid, and for the absolute life of me I can not understand its tiering decision. What is the reasoning that allows him to sit in RU, because for the life of me I can not understand this. It seems like a criminally underrated mon. Fantastic...

What are some common anti-meta pokemon? For example, Mamoswine seems to do very well against a lot of common pokemon in the tier.

What happened to bulky waters since BW2? Also, I'm horrified at Jellicent's current tiering, what happened to my jelly boi? Same with Hydreigon.

Ah thanks, nice to see familiar faces like Heatran, Ferrothorn, and Rotom-W still kicking it. Are steels still best? What was the impact of fairy types?

The last time I played was during BW/BW2 weather apocalypse. Now I've come back and everything is confusing, there's things like mega pokemon and z moves. I want to get back into competitive battling but these new things are a bit off putting to have to learn about. Also I haven't bought any of...

Where am I allowed to ask a complex question with a complex answer?

Is artificial intelligence something that can be added to showdown? I like being able to not rely on real people to play, and it would make it easier and faster to test.

I still use pokemon online, will Technical machine be able to be used on it when it is finished? I'd much rather prefer doing ai battles (single player) without having to require an internet connection (for something like showdown)

If the metagame settles and isn't another weather clusterf*ck like it has been, I'm probably going to start maining Mamo. Also sounds like he can hit stuff like Tornadus/Thunderus that you pretty much can't do anything against.
