MOD EDIT: MAKING THIS A GENERAL META GAME THREAD. TALK ABOUT BATTLES, STRATEGIES FOR MAKING A GOOD P:O/SHODDY TEAM AND ALL OTHER META GAME RELATED STUFF GOES HERE.
KTHXBAI
Ok, mostly because VF brought it up... who else here plays shoddy? This is a place to talk about strategy, talk about some funny/horrible moments whilst playing and find opponents to battle (though please confine timing to PMs). Hopefully this topic has not already been made
Also, it would be awesome to organize tournaments and possibly even a ladder (tell me if anyone is cool with that, there will be a list of users + shoddy usernames on this page as well).
Since VF mentioned being the ban on some moves and items, I will wait to lay down any rules on a ladder here until we discuss them ^_^
User List: Swimming95 - Swimming95 SeriousJupiter- SeriousJupiter Tigerkiro - Tigerkiro VenomFrog quilteej Pokeghost - Envious Ghost
New Rule: No full Battle logs please, this is to conserve space. I would appreciate Pastebinning them

My account name is SeriousJupiter, naturally.
I won't be participating in any tournaments very often, mind you. I have ShoddyBattle only in my father's computer, and I usually visit my father only on Wednesdays and every other weekend. And now when I have a job, I'm not 100% sure about those Wednesdays either.

www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/Here is a site that will help you with some pokemon ideas. The only moves and items that I remember offhand that aren't really allowed are ones that increase evasiveness. Also, soul dew on Latios/latias is not allowed. If you need any help, I am very open to giving some suggestions and hints ^_^ Sj: That is definitely ok ^_^ I probably won't try to make any tournaments until we get more people and the great thing about a ladder is that you don't need to be on too often

I'm up for this. I don't think we should ban items and movesets. Only legendary Pokemon.

Woot, glad to see you here Venom
In terms of pokemon, I was really only planning on banning Uber ranked pokemon (except maybe Salamence as I don't see why he is there XD).
In terms of items and movesets, I would have to see what the general consensus is on Accuracy/Critical hit boosting moves and items. The reason that they are banned on most ladders is because they throw in too much luck in what is believed to be strategic battling. (More or less bull for two reasons: I run a Flinching Jirachi and nothing is more satisfying than winning with it and a good battler would never let an opponent set up for moves like that)
Of course, we don't have to and could always try things out and see what works. I am very open to really anything ^_^ and on an unrelated note... I challenge you VF and your so called "banned" team XD

In terms of pokemon, I was really only planning on banning Uber ranked pokemon (except maybe Salamence as I don't see why he is there XD). Makes sense. Garchomp should not be banned, though, if Salamence is not going to be banned. Most of all us have battled Cynthia, after all. We know how to face Garchomp. In terms of items and movesets, I would have to see what the general consensus is on Accuracy/Critical hit boosting moves and items. The reason that they are banned on most ladders is because they throw in too much luck in what is believed to be strategic battling. (More or less bull for two reasons: I run a Flinching Jirachi and nothing is more satisfying than winning with it and a good battler would never let an opponent set up for moves like that) Exactly. If they ban Scope Lens, then why not ban Pokemon with Serene Grace? We can see what the consensus is, but I strongly believe no moves, items or abilities should be banned. Of course, we don't have to and could always try things out and see what works. I am very open to really anything ^_^ and on an unrelated note... I challenge you VF and your so called "banned" team XD Why, it's mightily overpowered! My Toxicroak has been Sucker Punching every Gengar and Azelf he sees... So let's ban Sucker Punch, everyone! If you want to challenge me, and you're on Shoddy right now, tell me which server and I'll challenge you. I've got a bit of free time today.

Good points VF ^_^ and will probably leave it as no uber. Chances are, very little in terms of moves and items will be banned, but if there is something greatly affecting the battles, then it might be up for consideration. I am going to go on Smogon now so see you there ^_^ if I am not there, check team Uber I suppose?

Perhaps my new(er) computer will be able to work with ShoddyBattle. We'll see when it gets set up.

I've done shoddy a few times, but never won. You know that shoddy 2 (or pokelab as it's called) is coming out soon.

I made a Jasmine team, based on her HGSS roster. Same Pokemon, same moves, but with items. I tried out the Firmer team three times, and it went 0-3, two of those battles against Swimming. Then I tried out the Jasmine team. Swimming beat it, but it was a lot closer of a battle, and then the Jasmine team went and won two of the next four. A mono-steel team proved stronger than a multi-type team. Guess Firmer isn't as invincible as SeriousJupiter thinks.
