    Eviolite works on Dipplin. Anyone know who this little guy evolves into?

    Thanks to the combined efforts of Showdown developers Mia, @KarthikVGC, and myself, I'm pleased to share that VGC now has a best-of-three, mandatory open team sheet ladder.

    In Scarlet/Violet 3.0.0, the flag used to prevent Abilities from working on a Pokemon while Transformed (e.g. Disguise) was removed from Commander. Unlike in previous versions of SV, by hacking Commander on other Pokemon, we can now see any Pokemon hop into Dondozo's mouth!

    Stream highlight: Revival Blessing can be called by moves like Sleep Talk. Remember that when used this way, Sleep Talk is what uses PP, not Revival Blessing! This can give you potentially 16 Revival Blessings by itself (maybe a Rest/Sleep Talk/Revival Blessing set in singles?)

    Battle mechanics researcher SadisticMystic finds that if you use Toxic during the turn, it sets ALL of the Pokemon's moves to sure-hit accuracy until the end of the turn - not just Toxic. You can use this with Instruct to get sure-hit Horn Drill OHKOs with Nidoking!

    I've been hearing folks say that Illusion doesn't disguise Zoroark's size, leaking Illusion to an astute player. However, from my tests, Illusion correctly copies all aesthetic features, including Shininess, marks, and size. See examples with big/small Zoroark and Incineroar.

    Dire Claw is a new move that has a 50% chance to inflict poison, paralysis, or sleep on its target. If a Poison Touch Sneasler uses Dire Claw, it'll roll for Dire Claw first, then Poison Touch. Since these chances are independent, you can potentially poison through Lum Berry!

    Have you ever wanted to use Protect after Wide Guard, but forgot that Wide Guard increments the protection move counter, which caused Protect to fail? Thanks to integer overflow still present in Gen 9, if you simply use Wide Guard 256 times in a row, Protect will always succeed!

    More Series 8 glitches! Calyrex's As One->Unnerve prevents Berries from being eaten. But what happens if an Unnerve Pokemon is KOed at the same time as the Berry would trigger on a KOed opponent? Damage calculation is already done, but the Berry activates at 0 HP remaining!

    Damage overflow due to 16- and 32-bit integer overflow is still in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. By exploiting carefully designed setups (thanks SadisticMystic!), we can cause seemingly powerful attacks like Infernape's Blast Burn to deal literally 0 damage!

    When using Wish, Future Sight, or Doom Desire in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, a turn counter is referenced to determine when they should activate. But this counter only counts up to 255! Using Future attacks on turn 254 or Wish on turn 255 will cause their effects to never resolve.

    Replying to @AndyLaVGC
    Spectrier and Keldeo cannot learn High Horsepower, thereby exposing them as not horses. Conversely, Pokemon such as Slugma, Slither Wing, Klawf, Snorlax, and Orthworm can learn High Horsepower, thereby demonstrating they are horses.
