Should Porygon2 use Trace or Analyze?

It's on a team with Nuttre, Bluengel, Blaziken, Breloom, and Latios.

Should it use Discharge or Charge Beam?

Analyse/Charge Beam for a sweeper, Trace/Discharge for a wall.

But the sweeper's only really worth it for novelty/surprise value.

 

[Chomper The Sharptooth]

If I use an Area of Effect attack like discharge or explosion in triples from the left, will it hit my teammate all the way on the right?

 

[Diodax]

Best ditto bait?

I don't know if it is the best one, but I use Calm Mind Kerudio with Scarf Shandera. When Ditto comes in and tries to use Mystery Sword to bypass my SDef boosts, I switch to Shandera for the easy kill.

Bulk Up Roobushin is also good at luring Ditto to use a Fighting move, as long as you haven't revealed Shandera earlier in the match.

 

[ARandomDude]

Would you say the metagame is drifting away from Heavy Offense back to balance?

Also, I'm having decent success using only Gen4 and before Pokemon and movesets, do you think this is odd?

What is the best Nature generally to get for Arceus?

What is the best Nature generally to get for Arceus?

Generally depends on what kind you'd want, especially with versatility as expansive as Arceus has. Adamant is a popular nature for his ExtremeKiller set, though he might have something else that lowers a defense when paired with Overheat. I have been partial to Ghost Arceus with a Bold nature to counter ExtremeKillers though

 

[The Pokemon Pimp]

What is the best Nature generally to get for Arceus?

It absolutely depends on the type of Arceus you'd want.

For me, I might SR for a Jolly nature so I can run ExtremeSpeed Swords Dance Normal Arceus. It depends on the plate you want, though.

EDIT: Ninja'd :/

 

[JirachiWish]

I'm not really sure if this goes here, but I've been wondering about movesets and tiering (I can't reply to the moveset threads)...

Why HP electric on Kerudio? I have been playtesting Kerudio and have found HP ghost better...well, I guess it might be that im using a slightly different set, designed to receive boosts from batonpass Volbeat...I was running electric as suggested, and i was walled by the Latis. Ghost hits them, and still ko's Mr.Pringles.

Also, when do we see the pokemon divided into tiers?

Thanks for responding and I hope I dont sound like a total noob for saying this...

What new ribbons are there? If there are major spoilers, please refrain from saying them though.

Also, can you connect to 3rd Gen with B/W?

Thank you!

:)

Actually since they replaced the contests with musicals, there are no new ribbons at all. Some of the older ribbons got name changes though. You can see them here

You can't directly connect 3rd gen, but you can transfer pokemon from 3rd gen to 4th gen and from there to BW.

 

[TorchicBlaziken]

Can I coin a new word for Doubles/Triples/Rotation so people won't have to type so many characters?

I call it
Notsingles

You know, because it's anything but singles.

I could also coin a word for just Doubles/Triples: Mults

Where is the city where I change my wifi avatar?

 

[psykick000]

Somebody probably asked this before, but... is there a battle simulator working online for 5th gen as of now? I think I saw a post on this before that lead to PO, but can't find it again. Thanks.

Nowhere, you change your avatar on your trainer card, there is a part to change it, next to a text talking about your trainer "nature"

 

[Galaspark]

Are there any trainers in White that have Baruchai (the vulture thingy.)

Yes, http://pokemon-online.eu/

 

[Ptom Joghnson]

How do you transfer 4th gen Pokemon to B/W, and when are you allowed to do so?

 

[black_cotton]

How do you transfer 4th gen Pokemon to B/W, and when are you allowed to do so?

Doing a pokeshift, but you will need to beat the E4 first. Then there is a building on route 15, that allows you to do that.

 

[Galaspark]

I don't remember the password I got after I voted for the Dream World Pokemon. Where can I find it again? Or am I out of luck?

 

[Azure Demon]

Is there anyone here who can assist me with pokeshifting so that I can get back to breeding? I will give that person copies of what I breed, I'm in dire need of some help.

 

[Death Phenomeno]

Is it true that Victini, Reshiram, and Zekrom cannot be encountered as shiny?

 

[darksoulSP]

Do the G/S exclusive balls like Fast Bal and Moon Ball have a special visual effect when you send out a Pokemon in this game?

 

[Dragonfree]

Is the glitch where you get stuck and have to restart whenever two or more of your Pokémon faint in the same turn in a double/triple battle happening for everyone or just me and my friend?

 

[Kudan]

Is there a way to retrieve save files from a retail Pokemon Black cart as .sav? And if possible, reinserting them into the cart?
