• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    With the way our switching works, I think it would be most logical to just turn them into "retreating moves" with more of a tactical emphasis. U-Turn and Volt Switch, then, have the effect of "hit the opponent, and retreat a reasonable distance". This distance wouldn't necessarily be...

    tbh I usually make them move second flavor-wise, although the bulk of the time whether they move first or second doesn't matter that much. And anyway, the issue more on my mind is whether or not people should be able to use one-action Hyper Beams and Sky Attacks on back-to-back actions; it...

    There's already an item that does that, though - Shed Shell.

    The pages for the various types in the database should probably indicate special abilities and immunities the types have - no poisoning poison-types or steel-types, no burning fire-types, no freezing ice-types, no paralyzing electric-types, and in particular a reminder that powders and spores...

    I think it was mentioned a while ago as being on the list, right next to signature attributes/moves.

    For the sake of randomization, it might be cool to have a button on each species' page that just spits out a random move from their movepool.

    I agree. Or at least go to the games' standards of one in 16.

    At least until some sort of a profile feature is integrated into the ASB Database, I think it would be useful to have a specific thread where referees can put their personal reffing scales/deviations from the accepted standard so that the battlers they're reffing for can see them. Probably an...

    Could we make it so that Contrary is not activated by self-inflicted stat drops, like Defiant or Competitive? The opponent would still have to play around it, yes, but given you know you're dealing with a Contrary pokémon, it's not that hard to just stay away from stat moves.

    This is very much a nitpick, but tags for sixth-generation items don't work, so we end up having to use cumbersome, long image tags instead of concise [sprite] tags. A very minor inconvenience. EDIT: Neither does [sprite=xy]treecko, for some reason.

    so, at the end of the second action after it was used, then.

    it's a 5/6 character. In other words, .8333x For what my opinion is worth, I think Truant is reasonably well-balanced.

    You should put a thumbnail icon on the asb database. My bookmarks bar doesn't have any text, only icons, and the database's lack of one is the only thing stopping me from putting it there.

    Isn't Pixie Plate a thing?

    Synthesis is accounted for in the database - it heals 66% under sun and 25% under other weather. And Solarbeam deals half-damage under bad weather and requires an extra charge turn, while it can fire instantly in sun.

    Celebrate actually does something, though. It summons a box, which could probably be used for something. Also, Splash in a watery arena.
