Not so much a competitive question, but I need to know for my doubles team. Where/How does Togekiss learn Icy Wind, I have seen it used multiple times on youtube, it can be learned by Togekiss on shoddy battle, however numerous websites do not show that it can learn Icy Wind. Is it an XD move or something, I asked on the wifi section and we can't work it out right now, anyone know'? The shoddy battle thingy says it can learn it from a move tutor, I can't teach it from the normal Icy wind tutor in platinum. My personal thoughts are that it is a XD exclusive, but no real idea. Help?
A Move Tutor in Platinum and/or Heart Gold/Soul Silver will help you out with that. I forget which of the three in Platinum has it, though.
Nope, maybe in HGSS, I went to the move tutor on route 212, and I tried it, it doesn't show up. I double checked that I have the shards too.. I am on platinum btw
Avoiding Hail damage usually isn't the best priority for a Hail Stall team to have, surprisingly. Ideally, the team members should support each other and set up hazards whilst still doing well under Hail conditions. As for Fighting-resists, Slowking, Tentacruel, Nidoqueen and Rotom-A all perform really well on Hail teams, each with their own individual benefits...Slowking has a large movepool and reliable recovery, and is a pretty solid counter to MixApe and ScarfTran, two of the biggest threats to a Hail team...Tentacruel provides Toxic Spikes and spin support, both very important for a happy healthy Stallrein...Nidoqueen and Rotom both act as physical tanks, and check threats such as Scizor and Lucario.
You can ignore this, but I'd suggest replacing the Scarf with Specs for Glaceon - it doesn't make a good scarfer, and you already have a revenge killer in Weavile. Speaking of Weavile, it doesn't function any better with Hail than without it, and adds to the team's common weaknesses, so maybe could be replaced with something else? Also I'm not sure what Hitmonchan is doing there, but perhaps you are.
If I remember correctly, Leech Seed will affect the Grass-type as it would any other pokemon, so Celebi would still have its health "sapped by Leech Seed". I remember it happening in a battle once (on Shoddy), but don't hold me to that...
I'm not sure if this was the input you were looking for, but Lapras makes a terrible Dragon Dancer in OU. Lapras' strong points are its bulk and movepool, not speed and attack; a DD set doesn't utilise either of these.
Having said that, if you really need a DD Lapras, Jolly is a better nature...that allows it to outspeed +nature base 100s, Infernape and Gengar, something Adamant can't do.
Have you considered a Curse set instead? Lapras is one of the better cursers in the game...
Personally I've never known the "Ability Effect" box to do anything. It just sits there and looks nice.
No worries.
Where can I download NetBattle? Anywhere I go, I can't...

the original NB is defunct and you have to use that now. :(
Also, if I have a Gyarados holding an EXP share, and pokemon is fighting who is holding a lucky egg (thats the one that increases EXP right?) does Gyaraod with EXP Share gain extra EXP because of the pokemon in battle with the Lucky Egg?
Thanks for your help!
Let's just say I had perfects IVs, so 31, and they were lvl 50, do you know the pattern to EV spreads? (I'm guessing you were talking to me but it wasn't quoted)
The formula for finding stats is ((Base*2 + IV + EV/4)*Lv/100 + 5)*Nature for anything other than HP. At Lv 50, the first part gets cut in half and rounded down so since Base*2 must always be even, if the IV is odd, you will end up with (some whole number).5 which will be rounded down. So you need to still only put 4 EVs into that stat in order to raise it by one. So if you have 31 IVs then you only need to put 4 EVs into that stat to make it go up by one point.
I reckon say, the pokemon gives you X exp, then the Pokemon not battling with EXP share would get X/2 exp, while the one with lucky egg (or whichever item that is) gets X*Lucky egg modifier/2.
Read the rules at the start of the thread, you're not allowed to ask for Action Replay codes here.
You might try using Google 'from the UK' to get relevant results.
If a Pokemon with Liquid Ooze is holding a Big Root uses the move Giga Drain (specifically Tentacruel) will that further increase the damage done?
I'm asking because the damage calculator doesn't seem to take Liguid Ooze into account at all. I at first I thought that Big Root might just not stack into Liquid Ooze's extra damage but then, just to check, I changed Tentacruel's ability to Clear Body and the percents did not change at all. I'm guessing it is such a bad combination that nobody bothered to take it into account for the calculator (and, presumably, shoddy as well).
Does anyone happen to know?

Liquid ooze affects opponents pokemon leeching attacks, not yours.

According to this:
"If the last physical attack to hit the user was from an opposing Pokémon, this attack deals double the damage done to that Pokémon. Does not affect Ghosts, but hits everything else for the same damage."
That would suggest that it will only counter the LAST physical attack, and only on the single enemy that dealt the damage.
That was the Leech Seed thing, right? Do you want to test this?
Shiftry and smeargle can learn both Explosion and fakeout. I dont beleive theres any that can learn both selfdestruct and fakeout.
Now for a question: How long after Black and Whites release in Japan will all the pokemon/moves e.t.c. be on the smogon server for shoddy battle? Also, how will the tiers be determined before this occurs?
