[@Mike14264]

Say, for any Pokémon brainiacs out here, he said there was no speed tie between the opponent's Arceus and his Ditto-turned-into-Arceus, even tho they had the same debuff... What made the Ditto faster? I don't know their stats btw, I don't really play Pokémon, but I would like some deeper understanding of these big brain strategies.

[@FiboSai]

@@Mike14264 Ditto is holding a choice scarf, which is an item that increases the holders speed by 50%, but it can also only use the first move it selects after switching in. This means that Ditto will usually go first. The reason it didn't go first when they were both dynamaxed is that dynamaxing temporarily disables the effects of the choice scarf, including the 50% speed boost. The opponent happened to win the speed tie that turn.

To those... Well, unaware, the ability Unaware prevented the BUFFS from affecting the attack, but NOT the attack's base power. Which is based on the number of buffs he had because it's Stored Power. So while the actual multipliers were ignored, it didn't ignore the full brunt of the attack. Probably obvious, but I thought I might point that out.

[@reznorex3152]

I've actually never been sure how unaware works, so this explanation is greatly appreciated.

[@rockowlgamer631]

No this explanation was needed for sure, thanks

[@Cloakp]

Nah, definitely cheats

[@HellbladesFFXI]

@@Cloakp less cheats, more of a 'ruling' situation like in card games. Example would be, if you have 3 def ups, 2 att ups, and 3 speed ups, you would have 20 power, plus 20 power for each buff, for a total of 200 power. And THEN, the multiplier from any relevant stat increase raises it further. For Unaware, that's where the equation stops. You STILL have the 200 base power, it just doesn't get multiplied at all. (Not sure if you're just trolling or not, figured I'd break it down in case you were being serious.)

It depends on what you think cheating is. Some of his builds won’t be possible in the regular games. Like certain Pokémon having specific natures that arnt available in canon games. But in showdown, you are free to edit natures, EVs and IVs and move sets to your pleasure. So instead of using a GameShark to bring a nature from a gba into the current Pokémon gen game, you just click-click and people get mad cuz they are trained in normal strategy of the canon games, not showdown strategy

I haven’t played this game in so long But I still remember when I was playing, and I never used legendaries because I hated them so much, and I just decided I would use Raichu on my team Just randomly decided I’d use Raichu The guy I was up against had three Pokemon, one of which was Zoroark and so when one of his Pokemon switched in to fight Raichu I thought “This could be Zoroark…and Raichu needs to heal, GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY” and I used Drain Kiss One shot KO and the dude just messaged “Damn, you caught my strat, gg you win” I was just so happy So why can’t these people catch an obvious Zoroark play? If you see Zoroark on the enemy team…maybe, I don’t know, use a move that Zoroark would be vulnerable to Alakazam can use Dazzling Gleam, 4x super effective on Kommo’o, so bruh moement really just didn’t seem to think that through

[@michaellarose4913]

I'm guessing the player was someone new to pokemon, they mentioned they came to showdown after bdsp, a game that doesn't feature zoroark in any possible way. And probably doesn't know a lot about pokemon to begin with. im pretty certain the teams he used featured pokemon from the first four generations and none from gen 5, meaning he's likely an older fan who got out of touch at that point and came back in at the remake to a gen he was familiar with.

The thing that kills me about these Pokémon battles is how the opponent starts crying over focus sash or sturdy when all you need to counter it is a move that lets you attack more than once in a turn or background damage moves like hail and sandstorm or you could even use poison or burn stat effect on it so you could heavily damage it with a super effective move and then let the status effect do the 1 percent of needed damage, but alas the opponents will never understand something so simple and would rather keep trying to one shot a sturdy or focus sash Pokémon as if eventually they will be able to bypass that game feature.

For what it's worth, in that one match Stored Power had a power of 300 by the end. That's higher than the 250 base power of Explosion.
