Most of us hang out on the Discord server now. If you wish to arrange a match or if the server is down, check this thread for information and hop on by the #shoddy-baffle channel.This is an online battle simulator built around Touhou Puppet Play 1.8. It offers a near-perfect emulation of in-game battle conditions, so that you don't need to fiddle with the 5 FPS monstrosity that is VBALink. We have upgraded from Shoddy Battle to Pokemon Lab, also known as Shoddy Battle 2.
Download it here. (Current client version: 2.3.4)
If you're seeing a bunch of question marks instead of proper sprites, open your preferences and download them through the sprite downloader, just choose 1.8 and add the sprites. This is far simpler than the Shoddy 1 method.
Our current standard ban list is:
Defense Satori: Gen 3 Struggle is stupid, and DSatori vs DSatori can literally last forever if they're holding Leftovers
Sendai: Yoshika with an attacking stat and powerful offensive typing with good moves
Speed Aya: Too good, on almost every team. Should not have Speed Boost yet it has it, and also has Baton Pass
Transcendant Maribel, Attack Shinmyoumaru, Speed Tojiko: Minmaxed a little too efficiently during creation, movepools have no real flaws to account for their exceptional stat distributions.
X Utsuho/X Suwako/X Tenshi: 670~680 BST behemoths that were created for use in Purple to replace Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza. Their sheer statistical superiority alone is enough to ban them from standard, but the inclusion of Drought and Drizzle causes them to permanently shape Ubers into a weather war.

(Pastebin version)If you're new, don't be afraid to chat or ask for a battle. We're a pretty small group currently but we're by no means hostile. Also, if you don't see many people on, stick around for a bit anyway - popping in and out won't really help you find times that it's active as it's kind of random when it is, and you probably won't even give the people there a chance to say hi.
The "Find" button isn't a great idea since there isn't enough of a solidified population that currently uses it.
Lastly, have fun!
