    Never waste EVs by picking the wrong nature again! We've added a new feature to the teambuilder that will ensure that you're using the most optimal nature for your spread.

    New teambuilder convenience feature! All VGC formats now have an extra pokepaste upload button for open team sheets, removing the need to manually remove stats! In addition, Tera Types will always be visible in the paste, even if it is the primary type of the Pokemon.

    Hello, dev here. The natdex council decides this stuff, not us. We just implement what they want.

    Just so it's clear, this will not tell you to move HP EVs to Def/Sp Def, even if a Pokemon would become bulkier that way (e.g. investing mostly in HP on Dondozo when trying to live a special hit). It will catch obvious mistakes with natures if you get caught up in a specific calc

    Please keep the DCs coming. TPCi needs to be embarrassed so they'll be forced to fix the game.

    🚨 Epic new showdown teambuilder feature alert 🚨 You can now sort in reverse! Most notable when building trick room teams, so you can sort mons by lowest speed first. To sort in reverse, just hit the button of the column you want to sort by twice.

    I won the seniors players cup! There was definitely some luck involved in the set but I’m glad I was able to pull it out in the end. Huge shout out to @JoeUX9 for the team, rooting for you in PC3.

    It doesn't lower the damage of Foul Play. In general, you should keep in mind that Foul Play only uses the raw stat and stat boosts of the target. Everything else is from the user, including attack modifiers which is what the ability is (btw the ability doesn't affect Wo-Chien).

    hey, come check out this thing I helped make: radicalredshowdown.us.to it's a showdown server with radical red stuff (including new abilities/megas!). It's been out for a couple weeks but I just wanted to advertise it here to (hopefully) get some more activity.

    I have fixed the issue of bo3 rooms always being public, meaning you can now challenge people on your main accounts in peace 🙂
