Clearly you've never been up high on either simulator. It's fairly easy to get into the top 10 in Showdown, getting into the top 10 on PO requires a lot of dedication.

Chill, bro. Just stating an opinion.

Chill, bro. It's easier to get higher on PS then PO due to the quality of players (unless there's a suspect ladder), I'd personally rather play against skilled opponents. Just stating a fact.

So I've been trying to figure out this dilemma with this team I've made recently. So, currently its an HO team with deo-d, garchomp, techniloom, gengar, rotom-w, and wish rachi(for healing, rain, status, etc.) Right now i'm running a scarf on the chomp so i can have that extra speed for revenge killing. But before i had a scizor instead of gengar for the double priority with loom, and i ran a sub chomp. gengar is there for the spin blocking and helping with other deo-d's, etc. I'm trying to figure out which is better. I can't test this with laddering because rough skin chomp is uber on PO, PS is as stated before too easy.

I reckon the best fit for your team would be Scizor, the choice really is Band vs SD. I say Scizor because the main sweeper on your team IMO is Breloom, and you really need a way to deal with Loom counter #1, which is Gengar, although you could use Rachi to fill this role, to an extent.

rotom-w out, scizor in personally, assuming oyu are not afraid of tornadus-t (playing on smogon tiers), you should be fine. Between loom and scizor (both SD), you can priority sweep about 50% of teams.

It's easier to get higher on PS because of the way the rating/ladder system is set up. That we can both agree on. I have no doubt in my mind that it is easier to hit top10+ on PS.

Tbh I think that when Smogon moved from PO to PS, most of the top players stopped laddering, or at least laddering high. I rather enjoyed the Smogon server on PO, would rather play that then PS any day

I've stopped laddering ashard because ladder resets are frequent, decay is stupid high at the top ( I had like an 8 hour decay rate), and the tiers are kinda annoying.

I wish the Smogon PO server still existed. Life would be so much better.

I'm Eastern US, which s GMT-5.
Are you in the middle of the Atlantic or something?

And we can't get infracted for this iirc, since it's Pokemon related. You might get one for the pic, though.

In other news, current Showdown alt is SackLusterSoldier, if anyone sees me there. (Alt changes roughly every few days)
