  1. Level 1 strats are pretty legit, if it's possible to allow level 1s but not 2-49 I'd be all for it, I just don't know if that's an option.
  2. Icicle spear + rock blast are better coverage and also more base power with 5 hits than iron head.
  3. Because you can actually still deal with that, no matter how much bad luck you get. Inner focus makes flinching not a thing, rock slide has a finite amount of pp, priority moves exist, you can resist rock slide and wall it. Not to mention that had downsides such as choice scarf locking you into a move, there's a chance for rock slide to miss meaning the luck needs to be that extra step more absurd, meanwhile the only downside to bright powder is that you aren't holding something else that doesn't rely on luck. Also we don't have jirachi so the whole serene grace iron head thing isn't really a thing we've gone over because currently the Pokémon we have with serene grace are dunsparce, blissey, and a certain bird I'm half surprised hasn't already cause complaints
  4. First of all kings rock never ever because of how skill link + kings rock works. And these are all just banned because with enough luck they're stupidly broken. With focus band you can get lucky and just never die from damaging moves ever. With bright powder, same thing, just could be never hit by anything ever (evasion is just all around not okay, but this is evasion that you can't even remove with whirlwind or haze, and knock off can miss) These are obviously extreme circumstances, but still it's completely out of your own control if you opponent runs bright powder on everything and you can't hit with any move that isn't faint attack, swift, or shock wave, and we know how much damage those bad boys do, so it's a little ridiculous. It's one thing to miss because you chose fire blast over flame thrower, because you gave yourself the bad odds, but things like focus band and bright powder force the odds onto you, which can be really stupid if luck doesn't swing your way. And yeah I pretty much agree with both Doc and lifestyles points on the level thing. Not worth it just to get those few weird sturdy strats.
  5. Chimchar is the only correct answer.
  6. There's no 2 step authentication for accounts on here, no. I would suggest making sure to secure the email associated with your account with some kind of authenticator though, since losing your email can basically mean losing your account as well.
  7. Boy are you gonna be shocked when I tell you about my buddy @Parke
  8. Made it out of Diamond 1 boys, it's lit.
  9. Because we haven't changed the tiers to be according to usage yet. It would be kinda silly to do so yet since usage will change a lot as things get added. So last months usage could theoretically mean absolutely nothing for next weeks meta if an update were to happen that added some useful items/abilities.
  10. It was, just not intentionally. The very first iteration of breeding allowed you to breed Ditto. It was fixed pretty quickly. Although no, I don't really agree that it should be a thing again. Hunting Ditto is one of the few actual reasons to hunt really good breeders, don't take that away from it.
  11. When you sent that money from featured fights, you gave me the names of each person the money came from, and I added them to the LTS donations thread accordingly. I then refunded that money accordingly. Doc probably just didn't differentiate what money was actually donated to lts by him directly and what came back from featured fights when I gave back the money since I sent it all at once.
  12. No, the damage boost only applies if the move occurs in the rain. In fact tyranitar ends up with boosted sp.def when the sand happens because rock type in sand, so you do even less damage than a normal surf.
  13. How are you guys doing this season? I managed to hit Diamond in 3s and got the Diamond reward finished, but I can't manage to get to Diamond 2. Highest I get is Diamond 1 Div 3. Send help.
  14. Alright this thread is going in a direction that doesn't make any sense at this point so I think it's time to end it. Baton pass is fundamentally different from u-turn and volt switch, so that is why one is banned and not the other. If anyone wants to discuss the idea of banning u-turn/volt switch, or unbanning baton pass, bring it up in this thread:
