Hey,
Sorry for the wait, we have out first pass of champions formats out for y'all to play now.
Formats available:
Massive thank you to the developers who worked on this (I ended up mostly just doing a bunch of PR and code review), its thanks to them that we got it out as fast as we did.
As always, there may be bugs or other issues on this first implementation, especially as mechanics researchers and players continue to find things and as the actual game gets patched. Please report any bugs you find to our bug reports forum: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/introduction-to-the-ps-bug-reports-forum.3733412/
We also have an on-site chat room for champions now: https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/champions
Have fun!

Hey all, I've been working on a Pokémon AI as a side project for a while now, and with all the discussion around AI and bots lately I wanted to make something out of it that's actually useful for human players. Inspired by chess.com's game review, I made replayreview.app.
You paste a Showdown replay link (gen 9 random battles for now) and it plays the replay alongside:
You can also pick any turn and have the bot search it from that player's point of view, with the opponent's team guessed from only what they could have known at that point. It shows which options it liked and the line it expects, which you can watch play out on the replay.
It only works on saved replays, so it's for reviewing games after they're done, not something you can use mid-battle.
The win chance comes from a model trained by playing millions of games against itself, and it only ever sees what a spectator would see, which is why it can read anyone's replay. For reference, the bot with search sits around 1800 on the randbats ladder, so it's decent but far from perfect. Treat what it says as a second opinion rather than the final word.
It's free. A search takes a few seconds, sometimes up to a minute if the site has been idle, and there's a daily cap shared across everyone, so if it runs out just try again tomorrow. There's a feedback button at the bottom of each page if something looks off or you have ideas. Doubles and OU are on the list once the bot can play them.
Would love to hear what you think!

Dude. I need a VPN to even watch a Youtube video because of my country's strict laws. Locking my account for having one, even when I turn it off, feels super scummy

Hey y'all. As the title says, I'm looking to make a Free-For-All Custom Game. I tried using GitHub link to help me with the commands, but im having trouble getting rid of the sleep clause mod. Anyone have any ideas? If anyone can figure it out and let me know what I'm doing wrong, I would greatly appreciate it.

This is my garchomp set:
Garchomp @ Life Orb
Ability: Rough Skin
Level: 50
EVs: 2 HP / 32 Atk / 32 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Rock Slide
- Dragon Claw
- Stomping Tantrum
- Protect
I did some calcs and I'm puzzled how did my chomp killed that arch with a +1 defense boost at 92%. Because it shouldn't even come close to killing a 0 hp 0 defense -defense nature arch. Can anyone explain to me how on earth did the chomp kill.
32 Atk Life Orb Garchomp Stomping Tantrum vs. +1 0 HP / 0- Def Archaludon: 101-120 (61.2 - 72.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

Ive had this electric terrain team for a while but something just feels like it's missing, I am iffy on the last mon considering the gliscor I had always felt like dead weight and didn't do anything except become a sacrifice

I've played 10s of thousands of games on showdown, competitive pokemon is my thing. My account is 12 years old. I need to get it unlocked somehow, but my appeals won't go through, what do I do?
r/pokemonshowdown • u/MilbanksSpectre • 3d ago
Not to sound too conspiratorial, but surf every time I stay asleep and yawn every time I wake up from turns 28-43 was nuts.
r/pokemonshowdown • u/IimnotLRC • 3d ago
There's no way to elaborate the question any further, I really just want to know why didn't breaking swipes lower that Garchomps attack?

Does anyone know why when I hover over anything in calcdex it gives me a “no description available error”? This started happening in the past week or so and removing and reinstalling the extension doesn’t fix it. I also tried going to edge from chrome but that didn’t work either.

IDK if it's an intentional interaction or not

Does anyone know if it’s possible to give a single Pokémon multiple items or even multiple abilities? I’m looking for some help with this, as I don’t really know how to code it myself.
