[Give Gengar HA Levitate]

Our meta is so much more different than Smogon that the comparison, while understandable, doesn't really hold up. No permaweather, Defog being able to clear hazards, updated learnsets to match gen 9 ones, the absence of so many Pokémon and their hidden abilities, etc.

 

So ultimately is all this speculative? You bring up a good point about the statistics being skewed by lower ranks.
Perhaps you're right and Gengar is a viable OU mon, it just doesn't seem like I've had many issues playing against him. Gengar feels very frail, and has a hard time surviving strong neutral hits. 

 

Idk, I never played Pokemmo when gengar had levitate, so maybe you're right to say he felt too dominating. He just feels underwhelming at the moment.

Soooo, a major buff to a pokemon that's already OU?

Smogon puts him into UU after losing Levitate. 

He has a pretty terrible win rate in pokemmo's OU at the moment.

This has been brought up several times, and I always think it would be horrible to have Gengar show up in every single team again. Triple immunity + immunity to poison makes it centralizing enough that I don't think it'd be healthy. Gengar is perfectly fine as it is right now.

Did Gengar ever have levitate in Pokemmo?
It just seems there are Tyranitars and Garchomps in every single team, it makes Gengar not very viable in the current meta. 

[Give Gengar HA Levitate]

From my understanding, the nerf for Gengar was due to his ability to set up his mega evolution switching into ground-type moves. 

Seeing how there aren't mega evolutions, and also seeing how even Gengar with Levitate never made it to Uber Tier.

Why not bring back Levitate Gengar when the meta is so strongly dominated by ground types? Maybe as a Hidden Ability so it takes some work to get.

Are there any rain or sun-themed vanity items?

Would be cool to either have an umbrella or a raincoat.

Because they didn't like that people used Baton Pass chains to farm Elite 4 rematches. 

Seems like a really silly reason to remove an integral mechanic of PVE. As if there aren't a hundred ways to farm and exploit the game... 

[Baton Pass not working?]

Ah that's lame they did that. 

What's the point of making that change? Couldn't they just ban it from competitive play if it's too OP?

[Baton Pass not working?]

I'm new to Pokemmo, and I've been building up a team that revolves around baton pass, as it's my usual go to when I play Pokemon. 

Im not sure if this is a bug or an intentional game mechanic, but it doesn't seem like the stat change pass works.

Really confused because the pokemmo wiki states that it should. 
If it doesn't pass stats anymore, what is the purpose of it?

 

[matchmaking with bad internet]

There's no reason to penalize a player for getting disconnected. Just call it a forfeit if they disconnect.

[PokeMMO Tutor Moves Listing and Requirements]

Is this out of date? I noticed that some of these moves aren't available anymore. Like seed bomb isn't an option with the kanto tutor.
