Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Surprised no one has made a thread about one of the most used pokemon in Gen IV. This thread is intended to stir up discussion of Infernape's uses in Gen V.
Name: Infernape
Type: Fire/Fighting
Base Stats: 76/104/71/104/71/108
Ability: Blaze - When this pokemon's HP hits below 1/3, it's...
Just in time for the holidays, I'm thinking about getting a Playstation 3! But not the new ones. I want one that can play PS2 games because I missed out on all the greats like KH, FF's, and others. I was told by my friends the PS2 games had to be forward compatible.
1. Do the games need to be...
I'm taking the ACT for real Saturday! I'm not nervous as of now, but I know I'll get nervous at the last moment. I've been reading my practice book, but I haven't read through it all. I probably should have studied earlier, but I know a few things. I got a 30 on a practice ACT but there are...
OK so I decided to play some Pokemon battles since I'm bored. The last time I played was pre-Platinum so I had to retinker my whole team. However, I kept something in mind: I am going to use favorite pokemon Infernape and build around him. With that in mind, here goes.
Azelf @ Focus Sash...
I'm entering my junior year and I haven't done one thing to prepare for this. I know you can take it more than once if you want to pay the cost, but I'd rather just get a good score my first time through. I've been looking through some books at the bookstore but I'm weary of trusting what they...

So yeah seeing as it's summer and there's nothing else to do, I thought I'd do this. It's actually pretty addicting, especially the forums. Anyone else know about this? Maybe we could all make a team together.
I saw that Enigma Berry actually heals your pokemon when struck by a super-effective attack. Isn't that better than say Dragonite with Yache Berry? Why isn't it suggested in the Analyses, or is there some sort of drawback to it?
So yeah, another Friday the 13th. Isn't it ironic for a month to have the supposed "luckiest" day of the century but also to have the "unluckiest" day as well? I don't really believe in luck, so it doesn't matter to me, but some people do go to certain extremes for these 2 days. I heard many...
This seemed to be a little too complex for the "Ask a simple question" thread, so I'll make a thread on it.
It doesn't seem like anyone has compiled a speed priorities list for the new moves, unless I'm missing something. Is there a place that does have it? If not, I could try and make one...
Ugh, I just got done driving today for Driver's Ed and I hate it ._. I just can't seem to back out of park right or make consistent right turns. Also, I start parking tomorrow (perpendicular, diagonal, and parallel.) Anyone got some pointers?
Well, seeing as the second Smogon Wi-Fi tourney allows accuracy-lowering moves, why not take advantage of it?
The following are support accuracy moves:
Flash
Sand-Attack
Kinesis
Smokescreen
I'd advise not using these as they just take up a slot
The following are Physical attacks with...
I figured this would the best forum for it, meh.
I personally can't get it because I don't have a Wii =( Maybe I could win it in a contest.
For those that do have it, how's the Wi-Fi?
No, I'm not asking if you hack, jeez >.>
I'm asking if you nickname it, give it's pokeball some seals, the like.
I plan to nickname them, but Wi-fi is slow enough without Pokeball seals, I don't think we need something else to slow it down =/
With a lot of threads running rampant on trading boards for pokemon that have been EV trained and things like Bold Shiny Cresselias, this leads me to think people are way too lazy to make their own pokemon and instead trade something good they have for pokemon that have been EV trained. Is there...
Well when you look at it, Competitor does in about a few seconds what it would take ingame to do in a few days maybe weeks. You're pokemon are automatically 100, Ev'd the way you want with the right IV's and moves, and even SHINY if you wanted to. Anyone who knows about Competitor will probably...
I'm pretty sure this kind of topic is allowed.
How exactly is damage calculated in D/P? After reading Analyses, I find the contributors saying things like "Oh this will 3HKO Gyara" or "This will only do 53% to Blissey" but how exactly do you figure this out?
As we all know, the physical and special movepools of all pokemon have been split based on moves. While this is great for many, there are a few stragglers that were hurt by this. So, who will benefit and who will hurt?
~Benefit~
Tyranitar for sure with physical Crunch and stone edge adding to...
Sorry in advance if a topic has been made about this.
Ok, which pokemon do you think Gamefreak made a mistake in ever making it? Got a pokemon that has a bad concept, theme, or you just plain hate? Post them here!
As for me:
Glameow Line - Wtf is with more cats, Meowth and Skitty are plenty...
