can you check if any of your moves have this warning when you try to select it?

 

Sadly the moves don’t have an illegal tag. Which would be super helpful. I’m really good at finding them, though.

 

How do I access the GMAX move list?

 

i just typed in gmax in the move list. but moves should automatically turn to max moves when you gmax in showdown so just ignore my post haha

 

Showdown!

me vs @thenewmatthewperry
Replay: [Gen 8] Ubers replay: thenewmatthewperry vs. Zigbigwig - Pokémon Showdown

 

Thank you! It was Zap Cannon

 

@JRShoenberger i won, but man @thenewmatthewperry that was really clever. i didn't expect that at all.

if i hadn't specifically made Oranguru to check your Gengar i would have lost that one.

 

That was a crazy ending, I showed up late so ima have to watch the whole thing later

 

it really is. when he planted those 2 toxic spikes early, i already knew how much trouble i was in and that i just had to do my best to end the game quickly. i was pretty much ready to lose haha.

so much respect for that game plan

 

I'm glad to hear you say that because I'm terrified of your team haha

This week has been crazy so I still need to make a team for you, I'll try to get to it today

 

same! work has been slightly frustrating so i'm trying to resolve that first, but i'll try and make a team later.

looks like i can play until mid next week too so no pressure @Shrek @Laura. The Format show was moved (understandable but still a bummer). i can still do it this week too though

 

By the way. We’re moving on without Orca/Jules. He’s two weeks behind and ghosting everyone in this thread.

 

that mean those of us who already faced him have our records shifted?

 

Yes. I’m just unsure what do with Shrek since he isn’t scheduled to face him.

 

Yeah that really throws it off

 

Cam hits random user battle and we all watch.

 

I may have figured something out. Me and the @thenewmatthewperry both were supposed to play him but we aren’t scheduled to play each other. Same goes for you and @DerekIsAGooner

So if we add these two matches it should work out I think and everybody will have ended up playing the same amount of matches at the end.

@morgantayler vs. @thenewmatthewperry @JRShoenberger vs @DerekIsAGooner

(Edit: this only works if we decide to count the previous games orca played as part of everyone’s records)

 

im down with anything. we can do what Morgan suggested, or pick a name out of a hat at random for me to play and the result only affects my record or something. im not gonna feel screwed by anything im just enjoying playing

 

This is a good idea, but Orca was also behind from last week, so Jake and Matt are behind because of him too. And I can't seem to get this to fit into the equation.

Here are two options, and I'll leave it to a vote:

1. We scrub Orca from the league, removing his matches from all records, and count them as a sort of "bye" match. We then remove one of Shrek's wins from his record (because, let's be honest, he was going to beat Orca anyway).

2. We collectively use Orca's team and to do surrogate battles. I will volunteer to use it to do make-up matches with whoever needs it. I would just need someone to do the same, so I can battle his team (someone who is has a mid-tier record).
AMENDMENT: the person you are not scheduled against battles you using Orcas team.


If everyone could vote 1 or 2, hopefully we can get this fixed and just move on.

 

Also, has anyone been successful doing a battle with Jake since he left the site?

 

I'd like to think about it. I want to vote 2 but I also recognize that'd be very busy for you @JRShoenberger so I want to think over each scenario.

And yes Jake has had a scheduled battle since leaving but Orca bailed on it due to having his teams wiped, and we have scheduled one between him and @morgantayler for Sunday. Jake remains active and available

 

What if we did option 2 and did it to where if you battle Orca, the person you do not have a scheduled battle for controls Orca's team for that battle? That keeps any 1 person from being overloaded AND all of us get to battle each other without having a missing match. It's kinda a hybrid between your idea and Morgan's idea.

Plus y'all would get that @Fucking Dustin vs @CarpetElf heater y'all have been needing

 

I messaged Jake just now to get his input re: this situation

 

I like this idea. I’ll amend my post.

 

you just want me to lose to @zigbigwig
