We are not planning to add the movepools at this time. There's very little point since there's no format and it's a large undertaking.Question: I realize Pokémon Legends Arceus will not be receiving a format, but Showdown lacks the actual movepools for the new forms and Pokémon. Their signature moves aren’t in Showdown to begin with. Even if just for the sake of posterity and for custom games only, when can the movepools of the Hisuian forms (or at least their signature moves) be expected to be added to Showdown?
The max ELO difference increases the longer you're queued.How does matchmaking work exactly on the ladder? from personal experience you won't get matched up against the same opponent twice in a row at least and the program attempts to have you fight against players in somewhat similar elo ranges but then there's those outlier cases where sometimes it throws 1600 elo users at me despite me not even being above 1300 and vice versa. This is not supposed to be a criticism, I'm just curious. Also, I only play old gens where there's a smaller player base if that has anything to do with it.
Is there any way to challenge friends to multi-battles or ffa using a team and not just random Pokémon. And if not is there any plan to?
PS doesn’t natively support bot challenges, so if and how you can challenge bots entirely depends on how the bot owner has configured their bot.How can I play against BOT like FutureSightAI on pokemon showdown?
Hi! This thread is for questions more specifically related to the simulator rather than Smogon tiering decisions. The ADV [Gen 3] Smogon subforum has a thread similar to this one where probably you'll get a faster answer and with more quality than here. Also, if you want a more fluid debate about Mew, Latios and Latias in ADV, you can go to the RoA room on PS! and inquiry about them there.why are mew latios and latias banned in gen 3?
mew has got the exact same stats as jiarchi and celebi,which are not banned.
and latios and latias aren't that powerful without the soul dew,so why not ban the soul dew instead of banning these two?
Camomons allows you to change a Pokémon's type to that of its first two moves. Other than that the only other type-changing format that I can think of was Type Control (which gave you full control over its type) but that was back in Gen 6.Is it possible to have a battle where you give a Pokemon a different type to its usual one, either through commands or doing something in the teambuilder then playing a custom game?
Is there any way I can start a new meta game like the one for Radical Red? I've come u0 a list of alternate Pokemon stats and I was thinking about turning it into an actual meta game. Would any of you know how I could do that?This is the place to ask questions that can be answered in a single post. Threads are meant for discussion, and questions like those don't provide that. Before you post here, check your post wouldn't be better suited to one of these threads:
If you have one of those questions, great! Just scan over this list first:
- Suggestions - if you have one, post here. No guarantees, though.
- Technical Support - for help doing something that you should be able to do, like connect to the sim.
- Model Fixing - for graphical errors with the Gen 6 Pokemon models.

Answering a question? Some tips:
- Make sure it's related to the Pokemon Showdown simulator. In-game questions go in Orange Islands, while battling questions are more suited to the relevant Smogon Metagames subforum.
- Google is a cool resource - try searching there first. It only takes a matter of seconds, and might resolve your issue quickly without resorting to this thread.
- If you're new to Smogon in general, the Smogon Simple Questions & Suggestions Thread thread is the perfect place to find your feet.
- There's some good stuff on the sim page on the PS site - including a general FAQ and staff FAQ.
- Even if it's a really basic question, it'd be awesome if you could provide a very brief explanation to prevent the need for further questions.
- Please quote the question you're replying to, to avoid confusion.
