Reversal is implemented incorrectly on PS!
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-2127123398 -- Turn 7
The damage calculator provides the following as the intended outcome:
+2 252+ Atk Heracross Reversal (150 BP) vs. 168 HP /...
Post in this thread if you meet the requirements needed to vote on Cloyster. The requirements are as follows:
All games must be played on the Pokemon Showdown! BW OU ladder on a fresh alt* (see below note) with the following format: "BWC (Nick)." You must meet the listed format in order to...
Hello gamers,
In response to the discussion amongst the BW OU Hub, SPL XV BW Discussion, and BW OU Tiering Discussion threads, the council has decided to call for a Cloyster retest. We recognize how the previous multi-pronged suspect may have skewed results, and players across the board have...
this would provide a concrete way of polling thoughts players had ab their managers to use for the next years’ tournament to give the community a bit more voice in the manager selection process. we have seen bad / inactive managers fall thru the cracks at times and having a place for players to...
This is going to kill our competition. It has been killing it. We need to fix this.
For the decade I've participated on this website, there has always been equivocations, excuses, and pushback against cash tournaments. In my younger years, before it became more normalized in other communities...
there is enough creative expression in nicknaming your pokemon. it makes the game less enjoyable when i do not know who is playing and have to hunt for the battlers. standardizing alts benefits spectators, prevents players from being goofy, keeps the chat from being clogged with the same...
I believe that detailing the general principles of your teambuilding is beneficial for veterans and new players alike. In a tier like ADV, where the metagame has a healthy amount of threats and defined styles, I find this topic to be of more interest than for other generations. Though there...
Over the past few months, we have had a few instances of banned users and trolls (read: Sogeking) posing as players with similar alts and challenging their opponents. While there are ways to double-check, this is still hugely annoying and really shouldn't be a worry before a tournament game...
And I don't think I'm alone in this thinking. During SPL, the playerbase made an intentional effort of pushing the boundaries, and we saw a smattering of different playstyles. Smurf.'s age old hyper offensive team became prevalent with slight updates, and this brought forth a wave of metagame...
Hi friends!
We're back, once again, with the revote to decide the final result of BW Sleep. After months of testing, play, and SPL, we now have a better understanding of the metagame implications that the revised sleep-move ban provides. We will be using the same voting pool as last time...
here are a couple of my favorites.

the candid discussion of suicidality, coping mechanisms, diet culture, alcoholism, youth.. i really love florence anyway but i found her words particularly poignant in this piece...
snake sucks! we all know this! help me draft some new ideas.
results so far:
*mini team tournament! 15-20 teams of smaller sizes, 5-7 ppl each, perhaps with some sneak level individual/team mechanics? idk but a small team situation seems kinda fun imo
*help plz spitball any idea

okay, let's be clear: there has to be a mechanism to pushback against such silliness.
do i really have to point out why shit like this is ridiculous? i'm not going to promote any...
(this is me speaking, not the council)
a few weeks ago, Ojama brought forth the idea of banning bw sleep. after ruminating a bit, i wholeheartedly agree with this push moving forward.
if you're unfamiliar with bw building, one of the mandatory additions to any team is an anti-sleep mon. in...
The BW Council has collected and reviewed the survey sent out a few weeks ago; responses are publicized here for transparency.
The trouble with generalizing the results is due to the drastically differing replies. Comments ran the gamut from stating Gothitelle's Obvious Brokenness to its...
i'm wondering what the purpose of the swagger ban carrying over from gen6 is?
it was already a contentious ban originally, and since then thunder wave has been nerfed which effectively hampers the legitimacy of swagplay strats. it just seems like a very unnecessary clause in our metagame, and...
