The last month win rates made no sense and I choose to ignore them. I am always excited when I have Pants on my team.
Your mon is a little less intuitive to use than the other S rank mons for newer players, which I think hurts it’s ranking. But it’s an absolute menace.
Nope, all looks good. Might argue on some minor points, but you know, nothing major.
The ultimate defensive weapon
did you get critted at all?
Sadly they just went into Uxie and I had to U-turn out
I'm not sure about that https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8superstaffbros4-1367068210
Turn 10:
The battle crashed
Don't worry, we're working on fixing it.
Is everything really okay? Is a sincere question. No ironies and sarcasm. Perhaps there is something that has gone unnoticed.
my comment is half a year old, before we added buffs and nerfs. the cause of the infinite battle is a result of that. fwiw, you dont need to pm me on pokemon showdown about this and then ping me on here in the future, i will eventually reply.

Isn't Instruct supposed to get 10x damage on moves after applying soda break? I haven't seen anything on here saying it was removed, but it's not on the /ssb anymore.
(Turn 51 I use soda break for 4% on Beowulf and mark him, turn 59 I use soda break again and it deals 5%. Similarly, Turn 53 I mark Vexen, and turn 57 I use soda break again and it deals 3%)
Also pants , proof your mon is good

Yeah I secretly removed that bc people are translating the article, and i didn’t want the pain in the ass wording to get in the way
Can't you hypothetically do this in a normal game by giving one of the two marshmallons a stat boosting move via data corruption?
it’s possible but unlikely, and I thought I put a failsafe for that too :(

Weedle is knocked under 50% by zen headbutt, but doesn't activate sitrus (Turn 11)

My first thought was some weird interaction with the Sheer Force clone, but then it gets hit again on the next turn be the same Sheer Force mon and does activate
Is it just me or is Dodrio gone? I realised I haven't seen it in forever and I can't find it on the smogon article anymore.
That user is permabanned now.
So I think I found a couple bugs:
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8superstaffbros4-1440362640
After transforming into Unown-A, Unown's stats got all wonky and its icon became undefined, like it became some sort of Missingno (Missingnown?). I confirmed this was not just visual as the next turn the opposing Typhlosion moved first and mowed down unown like it was nothing.
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8superstaffbros4-1438437594
I've suspected Kaboom was bugged for a while, but now I found definitive proof. On turn 11, Typhlosion at 88% health does 30% damage to Munchlax using Kaboom, and then the following turn, at 8% health, Kaboom does 31%. Rather than 70+(80*user's current HP/user's max HP), the power appears to be calculated as: if health equals 100% then 150 else 70.

Turn 3 roosting Charizard gets flying type added, making him a fire-flying-flying type. Turn 4, thunder is super-effective despite the fact Charizard is roosting, showing it isn't just visual.

Man's high as a kite lmao
Two things
1) can someone link me a list of the gacha-transform effects?
2) what are your guys’ ssb rng moments (im curious to see if anyone has a replay of the volco 1/4096 thing)
mine was getting a fart mirror matchup and activating a hidden message (not gonna tell you; find it yourself idiot)
thanks, your local ssb fangirl idiot signing off

On turn 32, Big Bang doesn't remove the steel spikes, not sure if intentional.
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7superstaffbrosbrawl-1246911832
That gen also had a rare event where one of the mons on switch-in could do /forcewin and just automatically end the battle and give you the victory. I had it happen to me just once but idk where the replay is atm.

It was last gen ssb but in a tournament final I had to bet on my Zekrom not getting OHKO by a Sheer Force Life Orb Moonblast; it survived with 2% HP and won me the match.

Blue: 10% chance, gain Clear Body

Turn 3 Duraludon had stats lowered by cozy cuddle, despite having clear body.
As for lucky moments, I managed to get a lot of omniboosts with Volcarona in this match https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8superstaffbros4-1356421471
I also got the /forcewin in SSBB thrice (including when they happened to me), but I don't have any replays of it.
