Each pokemon has a different BST, and different base stats ect. This inheretly makes some pokemon better than others (ex Kyogre is overall better than Ludicolo), which is a reason we have tiers such as Ubers OU ect. In Random Battles, the pokemon's level is based on its tier, so a Uber pokemon would be level 73, while something from PU would have be level 83. This is so weaker pokemon have a better chance. This is the current level scale: (Note some pokemon like LC and most NFE do not appear)Hello,
I have a question about Random Battles.
In Random Battles, the Level of a Pokémon is scaled, if I understand that correctly. But how exactly does this work?
For example:
Drapion Lv. 79 has 95 Speed Base, and 196 Speed max in RandBatts. Rayquaza, which would be... something between Lv. 70-75, has 95 Speed Base, too. And in RandBatts 196 Speed max, too.
My question: Wouldn't it be the same if every Pokémon would be Lv. 100? Wouldn't everything be exactly equally scaled? Because you have the same Speed Base. And the same Level. And no influence through IV EV/the same influence through IV EV. I don't understand what the Level scaling is for. Can somebody help me their? Thank you.
Facade ignores the attack drop from burn, and doubles in power: https://dex.pokemonshowdown.com/moves/facade. If they had used any other attack, they would have been weakened, and either way they lost the 1.5x Boost.http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7randombattle-536807278
Why did opp's Ursaring sweep my team?
I thought when he lost his Guts ability to Mummy, his Attack should drop: from 1.5 Guts boosted to 0.5 Burn halved.
Despite this, his physical moves seemed as powerful as if he still had 1.5 Guts boosted attack.
Am I wrong that loosing Guts to Mummy while burned should result in a harsh drop of Attack?
No. The item is used up, not gone, so recycle does nothing. This also means that the trick-blocking powers stay as well.So I was wondering, can recycle be used to regain z-crystals? Been curious about it and have found no answers yet.
Cheers :)
Buzzwole and Shuckle are both bugs, though. *ba dum tss*I assume it's not a bug?
Since it had no Physical moves, the Attack EVs were set to zero to reduce confusion damage.Hello,
I have one question again about Random Battles.
I was under the impression that in RandBats, their are no +/- natures. I read something like 85 EVs on each stat, 31 IV on each stat, and no +/- nature.
But I had a battle 10 minutes ago, and my Diancie-M had a lower Atk stat than its SpAtk stat. It was ca. 257 Atk and 298 SpA (I didn't remember it perfectly), even though Diancie-M has 160 Atk and 160 SpAtk. Def, SpDef, and Speed was the same (which makes sense, because the base of each mentioned stat is 110 on Diancie-M). So, my question: Did my Diancie-M had a modest nature?
I had no stat changes like a Attack Drop from Intimidate or something like that, and even than, I've paid attention to the original stats nevertheless (all Numbers were black, stat changes on Showdown are green/red).
I had a Genesect on my team, too. Diancie-M and Genesect are two Pokémon, where you can clearly see a +/- nature or not, because of their base stats. And Genesect had definitely not a +/- nature.
Wow, thanks for your answer!Since it had no Physical moves, the Attack EVs were set to zero to reduce confusion damage.
Its the IVs that were changed, if they have no physical moves they will be reduced to 0 IVs. (or 1 IV depending on the Hidden Power as HP Fire is one of them). EVs stay 84 on all stats and all Pokemon have neutral natures.Wow, thanks for your answer!
So, the EVs can change, but thei're still no +/- nature in RandBats, am I correct?
current "official" ladders are those of the Gen 6 tiers (ORAS randbats, OU, Ubers etc...)hi, i have a question.
Can anyone explain me the unnofficial and official ladder-rating points?
i have played with differents nick names but all of them take place on unnofficial ladder, no matter the tier I play in.
Many metagames have a thread in their forum called a "Roles Compendium". That compendium serves the purpose you're referring to.What if move sets were organized by classes like overwatch? E.X(drillbur would be setup, garchomp would be physical sweeper and oranguru would be support) So if I were to search for good setup mon with setup movesets i could see a list.

You cant, it starts at P1's viewpoint.How do save a replay so that it starts off in the point of view I want it to be in.
e.g. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7anythinggoes-546475502 ;this replay starts off at Cakeski's point of view but I'd rather it start off at mine, without playing the replay and clicking on 'Switch sides'
