In Scarlet/Violet 3.0.0, the flag used to prevent Abilities from working on a Pokemon while Transformed (e.g. Disguise) was removed from Commander. Unlike in previous versions of SV, by hacking Commander on other Pokemon, we can now see any Pokemon hop into Dondozo's mouth!

Dire Claw is a new move that has a 50% chance to inflict poison, paralysis, or sleep on its target. If a Poison Touch Sneasler uses Dire Claw, it'll roll for Dire Claw first, then Poison Touch. Since these chances are independent, you can potentially poison through Lum Berry!

Have you ever wanted to use Protect after Wide Guard, but forgot that Wide Guard increments the protection move counter, which caused Protect to fail? Thanks to integer overflow still present in Gen 9, if you simply use Wide Guard 256 times in a row, Protect will always succeed!

G-Max Snooze got labbed out: -It has a 50% chance to inflict the drowsy status on the target (Yawn) (200 times / 404 tests) -It never inflicts drowsy status on the target's ally -The drowsy effect -> sleep next turn is 100% (Yawn itself won't fail)

Sword & Shield Battle Mechanics Research

If your ally or foe is in the middle of a two-turn move, does Tea Time still make them eat their Berry? Edit: Also, how does Tea Time interact with Unnerve, if at all?

Does anyone have video evidence of G-Max Snooze applying Yawn to both of the opponent's Pokemon or of Yawn failing to put something to sleep? I'm at ~70 tests now and have never seen double Yawn nor a failure of Yawn putting some target to sleep.

It's always a pleasure to showcase fun glitches with Wolfe - this time, a hilarious interaction between Unnerve and Cheek Pouch discovered by @zakocky that allows Pokemon to faint while having HP! These "undead" Pokemon have some interesting behavior, to say the least.

There's a game breaking glitch in Sword and Shield that @DaWoblefet showed me and it's so unbelievably weird lol:

Great question from PsyJ and @esdeflex ! Turns out, yes, the same interaction with Zacian being revealed at Team Preview also applies to Xerneas being revealed! Notice the different colors between its blue (Neutral) and colored (Active) form!

@DaWoblefet Does Xerneas suffer from this quirk as well? It’s another mon with a forme change only in battle as well (similar to dogs/Keldeo), that’s also super relevant for this format.

Some astute VGC players will know that if a Pokemon uses Ice Spinner into another Pokemon holding Red Card, Terrains will not be removed. However, Steel Roller, an otherwise similar move, *will* clear the Terrain before being forced out! Thanks to @KarthikVGC for helping test.

I got approval to launch the Series 9 ladder and format early on Showdown, while keeping the Series 8 ladder up through the end of the month. Enjoy the additional practice time! The [Gen 8] VGC 2021 Series 9 ladder will continue through May and the rest of Series 9.

This fellow @Morbuen91 cleverly showcases Regieleki's high Speed to hit at least 1809 Speed and "ignore" Trick Room, allowing Regieleki to move first in the turn. This requires +6 Speed, Tailwind, and a starting Speed stat of at least 227.

Speed overflow in Trick Room, now slightly more possible in VGC. Full video: Credits to @DaWoblefet for the calcs. 🙏

The Series 3 ladder is live on Showdown (thanks for the assist @sabertazimi )! Order Up has been updated to reflect the corrected cartridge behavior, too (thanks @KarthikVGC !)

For me, one of the most interesting parts of competitive Pokemon is the damage formula. But how exactly does it work? Are modern damage calculators actually using the right formula? I explore these topics and more in this comprehensive guide to damage:

Artwork by GenOne from the Smogon Forums. Damage calculators are extremely useful tools for competitive Pokémon play. Being able to optimize EV spreads allows players to fine-tune their battle...

Ever wished you knew the odds of two or more separate attacks KOing a Pokemon? Ever wanted to save EVs by precisely making your combo attack only KO 90% of the time? For those things and more, introducing the KO Chance Calculator! Download:

Going into Indianapolis Regionals, I needed just 18 more championship points to qualify for Worlds. I super exceeded that goal, getting top 4 at the event! With special thanks to @NicholasBorghi for involving me in teambuilding and to everyone who cheered me on.😊 #PlayPokemon

Please for the love of all that is good in this game, do not make the World Championships a brand-new format that nobody has ever played before @playpokemon . Regulation D looks like a really fun way to start the 2024 season, but a horrible way to cap off the current one.

Top 8 at Indianapolis Regionals sealed my Worlds invite. Inspired by Gilgamesh and @JeremyRodriGAZ , the Calyrex-Ice + Reshiram hard Trick Room combination felt very strong. It's always possible to go farther though; I'm excited for what's next!
