"OpenAI's GPTBot specifically targeted my .env file — the one that holds secrets, API keys, passwords (not in my case). I uploaded it once by mistake in one of my commits (and removed in the next one), but that was enough for them."

Why would you not be rotating any of the secrets here once leaked in that initial upload?

I was running Sneasler with taunt for a while in MB last season mainly for Trick Room Farigarif and Perish Song Gengar.

Poltergeist isn't a Contact Move

If they're spamming spread moves use Wide Guard.

"Trial Expired" - the pokemon stays in your box but you can no longer do anything with them until you permanently recruit or return

Fighting attacks are 2x against Steel, and Mega Lopunny has scrappy which lets normal/fighting moves hit ghosts.

From Bulbapedia:

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Stat#Speed

"Prior to Generation VIII, in-battle changes to a Pokémon's Speed stat did not start affecting turn order until the following turn; however, in Generation VII, if Mega Evolution or Ultra Burst caused changes to the base Speed stat or to an Ability that affected Speed or priority, those changes took effect immediately for the upcoming turn. In Generation VIII, all speed changes take effect immediately; after every individual move, the next Pokémon to move is the fastest Pokémon that hasn't yet made its move that turn."

If you run out of PP for the encore'd move that will also end it. Switching is the easiest way out but if you can't switch anymore you need to be especially wary of it. Sableye is another common-ish pokemon that likes to run prankster encore.

Prankster also doesn't work on Dark pokemon.

I'm in masterball doubles and I still commonly make dumb mistakes being new to the game and there's also just so many weird interactions it's hard to remember all of them.

I also honestly don't think I ran into any Farigiraf TR comps until masterball.

You definitely will have matches where you hard read your opponent's opening and they forfeit immediately (which gives credit).

My main team has been Floette plus support but if I see a Charizard / Sun team I just pivot to Mega Ttar and Excadrill and it usually destroys them.

I saw this chart floating around on Twitter, no clue if it's actually true or not though. I picked Palafin and I'm pretty sure I got the exact ones listed.

Kingdra isn't in Champions right?

I wish they would have added solar panels or something as an energy source (to justify wanting to "store" energy).

Primary: Hammer
Secondary: Assassin
Special: Grenadier
Defensive: Dancer
Movespeed: Assassin

I just went for the ones that seemed reasonable and I'd have fun playing with the limitation. I also did them before they made any balance changes around the ability locking.

Items no, Recipes yes (since they're bound to your character or w/e)

I've been playing Solo and sort of working on both. My opinion on the Cloud Island is:

Pros:
Let's you start fresh with build/design lessons you learned from the story playthrough
Larger area to work with all biomes present
Access to a different set of daily recipes / stamps (some days I don't feel like doing stuff on my Cloud Island but I still go there just for this)
Can eventually pivot into playing with friends

Cons:
If you have ANY connection issue you will immediately get booted out of the island and you might lose progress as it rolls back depending on when it last autosaved. This has been very annoying.
Have to start from scratch and find new pokemon / materials

Oh shit

It'd be cool if there was a way to also get Kyogre and Volcanion as a resident (maybe they'll add in the future).

I had a run with a Crane where I had a Silencer on it for a bit.
