  • Ask HN: How do you find high quality mobile games?
    Pokemon Showdown also works great in a mobile browser, it's a free, fan-made, highly popular PVP battle simulator and team builder: https://pokemonshowdown.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
  • Any communities for in-game battles in Smogon ruleset?
    In general, smogon formats are meant to be played on Showdown - mostly because of the timer and no way to enforce sleep clause on cart. Source: 10 months ago
  • [TOMT][Flash games][>2010-2019] Pokémon.com flash games
    Here's the link: https://pokemonshowdown.com/. Source: 10 months ago
  • Less than conventional things that have helped you learn a language?
    Pokémon Showdown! Has (if I counted correctly) 9 public different-language lo live chat rooms (Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, German, Dutch, Hindi, Japanese, Chinese), and more which are hidden. Though based around competitive pokémon, many casual conversations still take place. It's where you can learn a lot of slang, and even Pokémon terminology if you're interested. Source: 10 months ago
  • Rate my team for SV
    Smogon formats are fan based, mostly 6v6, have different rules than switch formats, and are intended to be played on the web simulator (Showdown) - there is no support for them on the Switch. Source: 11 months ago
  • Starting into competitive pokemon
    VGC also gives you the option on playing on cart or on pokemonshowdown.com. Most players tend to practice on showdown and then build their team on cart when they are happy with how the team performs. You also need the physical switch to play in official tournaments. Source: 11 months ago

  • Pokènerd advice needed!!
    After that it’s all down to learning how to battle, things like predictions and proper swapping. If you don’t use it already then Pokémon Showdown is a great resource for trying out strategies and theorycrafting teams before you go hunt for them. Source: 11 months ago
  • The button that should be showing up is hidden, I cannot unhide it. The code of the button is highlighted, please help!
    Do you know where I would be able to find and unhide it? Maybe giving a link to the website would have been helpful: https://pokemonshowdown.com/. Source: 12 months ago
  • Writing my first fanfic
    Otherwise, pokemonshowdown.com will let you make and battle with a team. It's a site for competitive pokemon (yes, that's a thing). If Bulbapedia is general information, Smogon U is your best resource for competitive battling teambuilding, tactics, and strategy. Source: 12 months ago
  • Competitive
    The other big format to consider is Smogon. Smogon is a fan created collection of Pokemon competitive formats, with a primary focus on Singles. It isn't usually played in the games themselves, but through a browser based battle simulator called Pokemon Showdown. There are multiple tiers to play in so if you want to play with something that isn't super strong you can play in a lower tier. The most played tier... Source: about 1 year ago

  • Looking for advice
    Going off of this, I would also like to recommend this battle simulator. It’s great for tinkering with teams. There’s also a built in damage calculator. It took me a long time to realize all the useful tools it has, so I recommend checking out their forums and help section. Source: about 1 year ago
  • where can I find the ressources to get into competitive?
    Pokemon Showdown is mostly known as the battle simulator where Smogon singles are played, but it also has an active VGC ladder. It's great if you want to quickly try out a custom team before going through the trouble of actually building it yourself in-game. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Trying to get into competitor Pokémon
    Do you want to play Switch formats (ranked singles 3v3 or ranked doubles) or Smogon formats on Pokemon Showdown (like 6v6 singles) ? Source: about 1 year ago
