Nintendo just released these guidelines around running a “community” tournament. In other words, an unlicensed tournament. Limiting the player cap to 200 (300 for online), no profit allowed, entry fees must be under $15 USD, must use Nintendo online servers (no Slippi), and some other stuff.

Not sure which major tournaments from this last year had a license and which didn’t, but I remember the Smash World Tour fiasco and Panda’s implosion. I know Hbox said he’s going to try to keep running Coinbox until Nintendo themselves tells him to stop in writing, but I wonder how this will affect other big TOs. How many of them are still trying to sneak under the radar unlicensed?

Honestly, it’s BS how Nintendo treats their competitive communities

I’m messing around with 6 star Tera raids in Violet and I’m wondering what the best EV spreads are for raiders. I know for most attackers you commonly want 252 sp/atk and 252 speed, but is it worth it to focus more on bulk than speed for the raids? Speed is definitely still a factor, but I’m curious what people think. I’ve been doing 252 sp/atk and 252 HP with 4 sp/def but I’m not even sure if that’s the best way to do it. Like maybe splitting more into sp/def is better than HP.

I’ve never been one to calculate damage and such, so I’m kinda looking for advice on where HP is better or worse than defenses. Or if abandoning speed on raiders is even a good idea. It’s probably case by case depending on the raider and the raid, but I’m looking for generalizations.

Specifically, I’m looking to EV train the 7 star mons that I’ve captured and I’m trying to decide if I just do the normal attack and speed route or not. Any advice or opinions are appreciated.

Just curious what people are using and what features you’re enjoying. I’d also be interested to hear things you didn’t like about an app, but I know most apps are pretty new, so I’m trying to focus on the good stuff.

I just started using Memmy which is pretty fantastic apart from some minor scrolling issues and some unhandled error messages now and then. Definitely has a bit of Apollo DNA for those who have used it. I do have to just close it sometimes though when it gets stuck in a loop of “can’t find X of null” errors, but I know it’s in active development and I’m excited to see where it goes.

Wondering if there’s like a clear front runner for most mature/well-made/user-friendly/feature-rich Lemmy app. I’m specifically curious about iOS, but feel free to share Android options too. And if there isn’t, then this is a great thread to talk up your favorite!
