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.

I don't understand Smogon's tier judgment

Zeffy, Feb 2015: The tiers are based on usage (which should be pretty obvious, given that most of them has the suffix -used). Basically, the regular forme of the Pokemon is the basis of a mega evolution's usage since it is the form you initially bring into battle.

Most unlikely counter?

Khaotic Kebab, Feb 2015: My Avalugg doesn't try to cover for its measly sp.def - I just went full physical tank, with max HP and the rest split between attack and defense (although defense was given a little more). It also had perfect DEF, ATK and HP IV's. Avalugg rocks :)

Is mega Tyranitar worth using?

PlatinumDude, Apr 2015: You're wrong about that. Mega Scizor is bulkier than its regular form, which is why it sees more use, and unlike Mega Tyranitar, Mega Scizor has the typing to make use of its increased bulk.
