I have no trouble finding hidden abilities in raid battles, and if you do I guarantee there are people who have them and are willing to trade or do giveaways daily. Finding HA Pokémon is as hard as you make it to be. What HA are you looking for OP?

Who the fuck CARES what Gamefreak wants? Smogon literally shaped the game. No-one would know whats good or not if they didn't make guides and strategies. No-one would know how to properly battle if we didn't educate literally the ENTIRE INTERNET on how Pokémon is supposed to be played. A little respect is in order, wouldn't you think?

Gigantamax aside from Lapras is fucking worthless, and even then you're better off Dynamaxing a hyper-offensive Pokemon.
The HA problem will be remedied in due time once you can transfer from Home or just play Showdown.

When has hidden abilities ever been reasonable? It’s always been something only hackers do. I remember in Gen 5 you had to find the pokemon in the hidden grotto or something but there was like a one in a billion chance.

Is this the competitive thread? Great. I want to use Grimmsnarl and Corviknight in doubles together. Grimmsnarl would obviously be a damage dealer, but how should I run Corviknight? Taunt, swagger and a power trip setup?

Corvi works well running Roost+Taunt, I personally like keeping U Turn on but Defog is just as valid, and then either Brave Bird or Body Press for whichever move you want to fuck things up with.

He’s a tanky boy and has a lot of utility, also helps check a good deal of offensive mons because of good typing

I'll be honest. Even though Doubles is the official format, it still confuses me that they use doubles instead of singles?
Why isn't 3v3 Singles the main format instead 4v4 Doubles?

It's much less strategic than singles, I would guess. Plus they can design pokemon around being a utility better in doubles. Oranguru's entire gimmick is based around it being able to make its teammate pokemon use a move twice one turn. Stonejourner basically exists to buff its allies' stats.

Because singles is a very poorly balanced format where raw stats almost always matter more than any actual unique features of a Pokemon.
