We have finally reached a point when, in the very rare situation where Caio is right and Sweet is wrong, some hiveminded people brainlessly side with Sweet, dismissing Caio, not because it is the logical thing to do, not because the argument tells them to do so, but simply because in their minds the argument is less important than whoever claims it. (Tip: It isn't) Weavile IS a Serperior check. I don't care what gimmicks you want to extrapolate, or whatever you want to say or imply or claim. There is proper terminology in the Pokemon world and instead of actually fighting for or against the actual arguments, we loop between semantics where some have no idea what they are talking about. Thank you VadimEmpoleon for going through it properly. Regarding Dugtrio, and, most specifically, Gb's post on it. It is true some of Dugtrio's targets can dodge. Some can pivot, others have enough bulk. Yada yada. But you missed the fundamental point. Dugtrio is not supposed to hard switch against them. It is supposed to gain free momenum beforehand so it can then trap its target. There is only one way (Barring the very irrelevant Shed shell), to prevent this, which is to never play the Pokemon before Dugtrio is taken down. Congratulations! Dugtrio has successfully pressured their threats without even being on the field. This is unhealthy. Or, is it? Magnezone and Tyranitar can, in a way, accomplish the same. So what is the difference between these two and Dugtrio? The amount of targets they possess. The first two have very limited choices, while Dugtrio is able to delete a very significant part of the format. This is the main reason why the Pokemon was chronically banned in most formats. It is very easy and worthy trading a death so Dugtrio can then safely delete the threat you want to get rid of. But what is the unhealthy part? Is it Dugtrio? Is it Arena Trap? The issue with this question is you cannot completely separate the Pokemon from their ability (Or whatever else they possess). Afterall, Diglett and Trapinch are not an issue. Does this mean Arena Trap is inherently unhealthy? Both yes and no. Since this is probably hard to grasp at first glance, let me find something else: Wonder Guard. Is it broken, or unhealthy? Not necessarily. Afterall, Shedinja is harmless with it. Let's see another harmless Pokemon in OU: Jolteon (Yes, irrelevant enough so it is not even OU). Jolteon with Wonder Guard would be both broken and unhealthy. This is interesting because Jolteon by itself isn't an issue, and neither is Shedinja with the ability. It is the combination of the two that would make it a problem. Maybe you can argue Arena Trap isn't unhealthy. You can definitely argue Dugtio isn't broken. But you can't simply state that because A and B are not an issue and share an ability with C, then C isn't an issue either. To answer the question. What is the unhealthy part? Not one or the other separately, but simply the combination of the two. (Yes, I understand Wonder Guard Jolteon doesn't exist. The argument is still the same)

Alpha Kanto starters are strictly limited and will never be returning. Starters from other generations may become available in the future and will likely be handled similarly.

#29 🙂

Starting May 2024, I'd like to be part of hosting an unofficial version of the Team Tournament, specially targeted to Asian teams who can't access the usual official Team Tournaments due to time issues. This doesn't mean the tournament will be restricted: Everyone can join, this is just an alternative for Asian teams to be able to apply for playing a similar format than the held in the official Team Tournament. With Queest's help, we'll try to expand this idea to the Asian-CN community in order to make the event more interesting and challenging. Format - Up to 32 Teams per month - Up to 15 participant players per team Registration Thread A registration thread will be opened on the same Thursday of the week the event will take place, at 12 PM GMT, in order for teams to register. Up to 32 teams will be registered. We don't allow 2 alt teams at the same time. In case you want to participate with an academy team, you can't participate with the main one. Ruling. - About the standings - 10 points for the champion - 5 points for the 2nd place - 3 points for the semi-finalists - 1 point for the quarter-finalists (if teams registered = or > 16) The main idea is to follow the similar format and tiers than the official Team Tournament, so the monthly tiering will be the exact same than the official TT, even though we may contemplate adding LC in the future if the event has a good success. Monthly Prizes: 1st Place Team 3k RP to split as the Captain wishes. 2nd Place Team 1.5k RP to split as the Captain wishes. Yearly Prizes: This is a work in progress, but I plan to hold a tournament similar to the Cup of the year between the 8 highest-standing teams, awarding the first one with a competitive shiny depending on what we have around. Location and Time Silph Co. Ch.4 (1st F) /11 AM GMT (Can slightly vary depending on circumstances) Hosts: Shadow, Queest Referees: Shadow, TBD Thread is up to be edited, looking for your feedback. 👌

I am a certified nerd. Don't be like me.

Not gonna lie, I hate this statement a lot. It's extremely biased and should not be considered as factual. That's just nostalgia talking most of the time. People tend to remember past PSLs more fondly than recent PSLs while also remembering their past experience as better than they actually were while in reality, PSL is probably just a series of ups and downs since the first edition and not a negative slop forever going down like people like to claim. The treatment recent PSLs get is not fair because they are not look through an objective lens but rather through a subjective nostalgia-type of lens. Things changes, meta changes, people changes so does most elite and top players. Old top players become washed or leave altogether, new top players break through and replaces them and this happening is not a bad thing, it just shows the community can replenish itself with new skilled players. It's not because you and your friends used to take part in past PSLs that all things happening after that period have gone down hill in quality. It's a very self-centered way to view things and very inaccurate. It feels like some are trying to delegitimize new events just because they are not in them or because it's not like it used to be, it's very disingenuous for new players who are trying to make a name of themselves. Some people look down on PSLs and like to drag it down simply to elevate the times they were in it which is what kills the hype IMO.

Im pretty Sure that kyu wasnt an Admin from the beginning, i think He was just promoted pretty early

I would gladly have breakfast with you bro

Plz add Magic Room and Gravity aside as well 🙂

He's right though.

tailwind has a counter but please add TRICK ROOM AND WEATHER COUNTER

They can't beat NoRe so they made another competition

Attaching pics here: Right now best offer is 60m Pokeyen. I'll prolly accept any offer slightly higher than that and I prefer a deal completely in Pokeyen. My IGN is NikhilR (which is a longer version of GOAT). My discord is deepbluec.

This would be great, especially considering the battle log is sometimes hard to read in terms of how many turns have passed and it burns the timer quite a bit when doing so to check for PP usage, weather turns etc for no reason at all.

Starts in 1 Hour! See you soon! ^^

The mod is great, even though in the case of the legendary Entei, Suicune and Raikou, they are very close to the trainer and you can hardly see their faces, I was looking at their Pokémon sprites Mysterious world and it may be useful to place it with the walking animation, although the attack animation they have is great. But the distance of the trainer would need to be adjusted in my opinion.

Nearby players could tune in, to see the fresh shiny! Hype up the encounter and celebrate the shiny found! (With some fireworks of course! ) Shows up above the "in battle" pokeball icon. (Could be put to replace the ball icon or next to it.) An option to disable the function, if you prefer to shunt in peace or secret. Let me know what you think of this idea! If you like it, make sure you upvote it! Thank you and have a nice day 🙂

Great suggestion! A cancel button in case of "miss click" would be useful too.

No.
