Hello~

I wanna ask about Ditto in battles. If one is using an Imposter Ditto in battle, does its IVs, EVs and nature matter if it automatically copies the foe?

Afaik if you copy a Pokemon with Hidden Power, it doesn't carry over it's type. Instead it checks Ditto's IVs to determine what HP it can use.

Otherwise it just copies the stats of the opponent, including boosts, iirc.

Ah, okay. I was thinking of ways to wreck a Dragon Danced Dragonite or any other dragons though if I fail to stop them from setting up, and I thought that maybe using a Scarfed Imposter Ditto might work.

Imposter also won't copy the opponent's HP stat, so dump 252 EVs into Ditto's HP.

Hi gang, trying to get back into mons. Can any of you help me complete this set by chance?

[email protected] Cap
- Pound
- Rollout
- Rest
- Double Slap

Basically the idea is to wear down the opponent with double slaps, rollouts, and pounds, and then kill with Rest when they have about 50HP. But never with the other moves. Only Rest. I chose to forgo Sing because it's pretty useless for Rest setups in all honesty and its just easier to kill with it by falling into the enemy really hard (the way elf does to his mom). I feel like it's a pretty strong strat but I was just wondering if any of you had any input. Night Cap supposedly increases the accuracy of Rest so I chose that as her item.

It seems like a lot of people don't know that Scald thaws the user if it got frozen. I've already had it a couple times that my opponent froze my Keldeo and then tried to switch in his win con just to see it die to a Scald.

ngl I kinda forgot that certain moves can thaw a frozen 'mon

it's probably because freeze is a pretty rare status effect

Ah, Freeze moves are so annoying.

In any competitive team I've had, I've never been sure what status problem I want to inflict, I'm always pretty bad at that.

So inflict ALL OF THEM. MUAHAHAHA

Or something like that. I'm a big fan of burning the enemy and then burning their pokemon. Yup.

Depends on what your team needs. Toxic is the most straight damage, and is good on teams/sets where it will likely be their only damage source. Burns are effective for crippling Physical attackers, and good if you need some more PDef. I never run W-o-W tho, plenty of burns from spamming Scald, Lava Plume, and the like. Paralysis is good on slow or hax-based teams, as it significantly slows the enemy to let your Band Ferrothorn outspeed them. Sleep Clause is a thing, and Freezes are impossible to get.

The next Battle Competition has been announced. This is the Kanto Classic. This competition is a Single Battle competition and runs classic rules where you can only use the original 151 Pokémon aside from Mewtwo and Mew and you cannot use items on your Pokémon as well as only using 6 Pokémon. Registration runs from February 25th through March 5th while battles run from March 4th through March 6th. All entrants get a special Dragonite.
This Dragonite is based on Lance's Dragonite in Red/Green. It is Level 62 with the ability Inner Focus and the moves Agility, Slam, Barrier & Hyper Beam. Before now, it couldn't learn the move Barrier, despite Lance's Dragonite having that move in Red, Green and Blue.
Heheh. Another event 'mon to add to my collection. I am so excited for this. :3

I'm so sick of Xerneas using Geomancy + power herb with support Liepard (double battle)
anyone know how to get rid of those thing, Liepard is so fast and with Frankster + taunt , it's always 1 step ahead me.
if I used protect then the Xnerneas can Geomancy in one turn and rekt my team
but if I try to attack the Xerneas, the Liepard will fake out one of my two pokemon and therefore, not enough damage to KO the Xnereas

Update: I just find this for pokemon online simulator but you need 2 IP or 2 computers to properly play Vs a bot https://github.com/po-devs/pokemon-online/wiki/Battle-Script-Snippets

I'm a huge fan of PokeCommBot, I tried multiple bots but I think this is the most complete and very funny to play with!!

I don't like competitive battles, I'm a medium experience player, so I prefer having fun by playing against your bot and I find it very challenging and funny for me =)

So I'm here to ask you if I can create my own server and implement PokeCommBot, or even better if is it possible to play offline against it like a pokemon simulator offline in which the player can battle against bots with various metagames (OU, Random battles, Custom games...).

Can you suggest me anything? Thanks a lot!! =)

It's just a hard-coded list of popular items in general, as opposed to "popular items on this Pokémon". Thank goodness for that too haha.

Also, what do you guys think about the new attack animations they just added to Showdown today?

So, about that ORAS Gen 1 OU thingy...I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. Kinda hoping to find that one broken team that I can use that is hopefully more broken than all the teams that I might end up facing.

Who thought leaving Megas in while removing their checks was a good idea? {XD}

Mega Charizard X's only remaining checks in ORAS Gen 1 OU are...Slowbro and Rhydon. Yikes. Very limited options for Scarfers and Prankster TWave users. The only one that can outrun and KO +1 Zard X is Scarf Aerodactyl. No thanks. I suppose the best option for dealing with it is using a whole team that threatens or cripples it. Dugtrio exists too.

On the bright side, weather has plenty of options in this metagame.

ZardX still has decent Special Attack and if you run into one with Solar Beam, then your Rhydon isn't even a check anymore. Granted, it lacks the Drought ability, but there's still other options for that.
