I've had this happen to me a few times in ladder games, where an opponent has frozen the clock.

Just posting to verify that this is kart-accurate - do exploders actually WIN the game? It definitely seems like exploding should make you lose.

Starmie doesn't usually pose much of a threat. Lucario and Extremespeed a weakened Starmie, Blissey can solo Starmie, Rotom-H can block Rapid Spin and counter with a Thunderbolt for massive damage.

After constantly getting matches (literally 3 of 4) with people over 120 rating higher (1450, 1500, 1540, etc.) I have decided I'll break the rules and modify this team before rating 1400. (Why the hell is Shoddy pairing me with rating 1540 people, then GIVING THEM 8 points for winning and...

Updated with 1400 rating improvements, edited original post. Still looking for opinions! Especially on replacements for Azelf/Scizor (Lucario?)

That means that the "hax" is in favor of the other guy - he is getting the hax advantage.

I wasn't sure where to post this, so I half expect it to be moved! Anyways, over the time I've played I've been a bit curious about the probabilities of certain "haxings" that I've been on the receiving end of. You know what I'm talking about: hurt yourself in confusion (50%) hurt yourself in...

I've never liked or trusted Sleep Talk sets, and I especially think Sleep Talk would not work out on Rotom vs. Breloom. Discharge and Thunderbolt both won't even break Breloom's substitute, and Overheat will only work out if I nail him directly on the first turn. Once his substitute is up, he'll...

A week ago or so I set out to make the most generic team for the current OU metagame. Previously I had been using a dragon dance team which was quite fun, but would only win 3 out of 4 games on average, and I was looking for something better. Using this new team, I jumped up about 300 points...

Unfortunately BYOND is not available for Macs, except for developers using the server hosting software. Sorry about that! =(

Checked with RBG on Shoddy just to confirm that posting this is OK... I am pleased to announce a new creation! Pokemon Challenger is a brand new game I made based on the Pokemon franchise. Instead of the traditional trainer-RPG that we've all come to know and love, this is a brand new style...

I'm looking for people's opinions on shoddybattle over netbattle. Aside from the Smogon community existing on shoddybattle, in terms of the software itself - which one is really better? Here are some of my observations Shoddy pros: * Can issue and receive multiple challenges and battles * More...

Sorry to be out of the loop, but what is the Synchronizer?

I caught mine with a modest nature, 31 sp. atk EVs, 29 HP EVs, 18-26 def/speed EVs and low sp. def/atk. For EVs, I just put 252 in sp. atk, 100 in speed, and the rest in HP. Of course, I don't really care about that stuff, I'm not hardcore enough to properly nature, breed, IV, and EV every...
