Some advice to users:
Read the rules thoroughly, don't be a jerk to others, use good grammar, explain your answers clearly
~ Giga Blade X
If you get the answer to a question from a site, make sure to leave a source. A link to said site is also nice. Don't get upset if your question or answer is flagged. If you ask a dupe question, you can learn from the original. If it's low-quality, use it to improve your later questions/answers.

Looking for more advice for users. Please post on my wall if you have good advice for users.
 For new users who post movesets, here is a reference on how movesets should be formatted so they can be easier to read:

[Pokemon] @ [Item]
Ability: [Ability]
EVs: [#] [Stat] / [#] [Stat] / ...
[Nature] Nature
- [Move 1]
- [Move 2]
- [Move 3]
- [Move 4]

Those who get Expert, please, please, please don't misuse your powers like Gligurr did.

I don't understand how you like zangoose

Fun fact: there was a time that totem Araquanid was better than normal Araquanid in 2018 VGC because it was heavier. In that gen, Sky Drop was a very predominant move in that tier, seen mainly on support Tapu Koko. However, if Sky Drop targeted a Pokémon that weighted more than 200 Kilograms, it would fail. Since totem Araquanid weighted barely more than 200 kilograms, it was immune to that move.

I don't remember a question like that, but I'm sure it's possible. Don't see how they would be much different from non-Totem forms though lol

It’s kinda a relaxing way to burn time while being helpful.

Rising, you should totally start writing up movesets. The first time can be hard since you don’t really know what your doing but once you learn the process well it should be pretty easy if you know the tier your writing for well, which I’m sure you do.
