Don't get your hopes up, for all we know they could just be editing the movepool possibilities in randoms PvP.

I thought it would helpful to have those damage (poison, burn, weather, rocks ) percentages show up in the battle chat. It could help in calculating damages.
 
It would make it easier to determine how many more re-entry to rocks you will live or determining how many more turns of poison you will survive.  

No thank you, having that black screen wastes precious seconds on our gym reruns.

This is by far the most complicated and most planned out and detail specific catch event I've seen, kudos for the effort put in.

Keep up with hosting events at this type of timing ?. I Can actually participate during morning shift months.

IMO you should show the nature bonuses in the same species sequence as the species bonus list. Will be easier to match that way.

Hello! I have just finished all 4 regions couple of weeks ago and was grinding for my first competitive team. First I bought lv 100 2x31 typhlosion, a low level drought torkoal and a low level prankster whimsicott with tailwind and paired them with my lv 100 starter swampert that knows rock slide. I could do ~16 gyms in an hour with amulet coin and earn upto 200k. Then I switched to rich trainer rematches with a lv 100 2x31 payday persian and earned about 175k an hour with amulet coin (excluding morimoto). Although the difference is of ~25k the ease of trainer rematches is incomparable to gym rematches. In gym rematches you have to worry about fake outs, prankster will o wisp, gliscor's dig, wobbuffet's destiny bond, rock slide missing, multiscale dragonite, eviolite chansey, flash fire pokemons or the opponent pokemon straight up not killing lv 20 whimsicott. On top of that you can do the run only once a day due to cool down while the trainer rematches can be done 3 times a day totaling upto 500k (including morimoto). The point of this thread is for you to consider rich trainer rematches if you are facing same problems I faced in gym rematch runs, otherwise do what you feel most comfortable with. Thnx! 

Let's go down memory lane...

What's the difference, activating donator status means that extra line appears, is that not good enough?

IMO monotype can be a PVP matchmaking option by itself, its diverse enough to attract players that wanna experiment.

Missing such snipes is painful
Why?? because technical difficulties, you can't buy anything from GTL while u re battling Unova, Shinnoh gym leaders.. 
Let s all Wish R.I.P for the player Who listed that 500rp

I like the thought process of wanting to spice pvp with new stuff.
 
But I think adding new pvp categories that require farming is in general a double-edged move.
People almost never run out of OU comps to breed, let alone UU or NU. The grind is practically infinite, and they already have such a high bar to enter the comp scene.
So if a new category takes away grinding time from the primary formats on top of that, it's not necessarily the healthiest addition.
 
Good additional formats, imo, are the ones that do not require grinding at all, things like randoms, metronome cup, (arguably doubles where you can use your OU comps to an extent), monotype format, stab format, freaking--bandstorm, 1v1 ... you get the idea.
Reusing existing comps in new ways will breathe life into pvp, but making people grind more is not my recommended solution.
 
Not to mention catching wild pokemon with good ivs already has plenty of incentive, since they're used as breeding materials.
 
If you're still intent on this idea despite these criticisms, you could always try hosting an unofficial tournament with this ruleset and evaluate the community's reception to it.

2 months ago, a few of our more attentive players noticed that March 29th 2022 would be the 10th anniversary of the forums coming online. As a brief history lesson for everyone, the first public test of the game started a few weeks later in April 2012, then the "alpha" (now known as PokeMMO Epsilon™) was released in June 2012.
 
While originally we were just planning on a large content update to commemorate the date, maybe throw in some massive tournament or something, we had the brilliant idea to instead make a one-time event outside of what we call "event season"- the period of Halloween/Christmas/Chinese New Year where we normally don't permit large, breaking changes so as to not interrupt the events by leaving you with an unplayable video game. "Get hyped" we said, because it'd be good.
 
Then, despite our better judgment, we doubled down by not only giving ourselves a deadline to come up with something and get it out, but a public deadline. Several in fact, and we've managed to blow all of them in a fantastic fashion.
 
Today marks the date of our 4th deadline being missed, and I'm happy to announce that we're commemorating this feat of project logistics by releasing the Torch & Pitchfork Seasonal items.
 

 
These items will be available until the next update releases. We expect that to be Soon™ish, probably around Two Weeks™, but we're giving ourselves some leeway so we don't need to make more announcements about announcements.
 
When we get there, this will also be an unusual update process. We'll be breaking it into a 3 part series:
The major, fragile changes will occur before the event. This will be our launch of the open beta iOS client, general changes like moveset updates, bug fixes, and a large suite of scripting changes to help us support future regions. A few days later, after we're sure that the game's not completely busted, the event will start. Finally, after the event ends, a new permanent feature will launch. We'll keep that one a surprise for now.  
Until then,
 
See you Soon™!

I lack the knowledge of building a PvP team around a solid strategy, I tend to put together a team of solid mons that are great but there is no strategy in mind.
