PokéCommunity is preparing to undergo a major update in 2023. All members should ensure they can access the email associated with their account as a password reset might be required post-update. The exact date of transition will be made available at a later date.

It appears IMGUR will be (and apparently has already started) deleting images that weren't uploaded directly to an account. You can check the update notes on IMGUR here.

We know a lot of you will have used IMGUR to upload images for your threads and other PC content (signatures, flairs, etc.) and not everyone was doing so with an account.

So please note that some of your existing images may break at some point in the future. We recommend making an IMGUR account if you plan to continue using IMGUR.

How does the Stone Badge boost affect damage calculation?

Reginald Cosmic, May 2: I knew that Glacia meant business. I guess I really can't one-shot her Walrein with Facade since my EVs are all distributed (meaning I can't use Proteins). I mean, I know I could grind to Level 60 or something, but I don't want to win like that,...

Slaking During a Casual Playthrough

Pyrax, Apr 19: I remember Chuggaaconroy using a Slaking for his Emerald let's play years ago. Iirc he taught it Hyper Beam so it'd recharge during Truant, and this being Gen III it ran off Slaking's physical attack. I always thought that was a neat strategy as it...

Giovanni's ace in FR/LG

Fire red team and movesets

Steven or Wallace, who is the better Champion in Hoenn?

RNG Manipulation

Janp, Jun 16: After I finished my SBQ on Ultra Moon, I've started messing with RNG manipulation on that save. It was a lot easier than what I would asume. But it didn't felt that rewarding as getting shinies the proper way.

Did Maxie and a grunt really dive into the water in Pokémon Ruby?

I didnt really like Red and Blue's redesigns for FRLG

AstroBreak, Jul 2021: Although i like the FRLG redesign of Red he definitely looks a bit more souless there than on the original. I can't quite put my finger on why but i'd say it's maybe cause of the frowny, front looking expression. Clothing looks more formal too.
