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.
The reason for this is that Aqua Jet and Flip Turn are incompatible (can't be generated together). This is for the benefit of Pokémon such as Samurott(-Hisui) who really want both moves as an option on a set such as AV, which means including both moves in the same role for itemgen purposes, but...
But every other thread in Cong also doesn’t need to have a place here. It’s literally an off-topic forum. If we just want to be a Pokémon forum, nuke the Cong subforum.
The politics thread holds merit because it contains and provides a platform for the types of discussions that generate...
We’ve just had a very lengthy (and pleasant) political discussion in the graveyard of the current mafia game. A running theme throughout it was “lol it would be nice if the Smogon thread still existed” (none of these comments by me).

I’m just casually adding my support to the DryPass unban. I have supported this for a very long time, as DryPass is a perfectly balanced move. It doesn’t matter how few currently competitive Pokémon this unban will benefit, as it is a normatively beneficial decision. Pokémon may rise in...
Aye, sorry I didn’t reply so far — I think 10PM is a bit late for me in general, so Sat/Sun it probably optimal. My absolute preferred window would be sort of 7-9PM my time my time on either day but preferable Saturday. Could you make that?
For gens 1-7 you can use any Pokémon from a past generation. This is because you can trade them forward to the game (in this case Platinum) that Gen 4 OU is played on.
For gens 8 and 9 you can't trade forward every Pokémon, so some older Pokémon cannot be used. These will not appear in the...
