Rapid Spin is a must basically, Spikes would be nice if your team can take advantage of it, but use Rest if you mean to use him as a serious tank and not just utility.
Payback is certainly handy, combined with Gyro Ball to take care of Weavile and hurt TTar mayby? Or just pick Revenge.

It all depends on the team. Zap Cannon would only be worth it in a Gravity team in my book ^_^

How well can dusknoir handle special attacks?

 

[Fenikkusu]

Pretty well. You obviously need to pump his sad sad HP with max EVs though.

 

[Durron]

im using an Electric move on a Choice Scarf'er

would it be wise to hit 290 speed so that if they switch in an Adamant, 252 Speed Electivire, and i give it a Motor Drive Boost; i can switch out, then come back in to revenge kill?

or am i worrying too much?

 

[Lady Lilith]

Should I perfect my team of
Bronzong
Cresselia
Milotic
Blissey
Garchomp

OR should I just make a Cynthia-Team?
Would a Cynthia team be cool even if i didn't change my name ingame?

Thx, I've decided to use shuckle as a special wall though xD

Dusknoir can't survive 2 Draco meteors >_>

Did you put in the Sp Atk drop though? xD


Shuckle is great in a sandstorm though.

But not many people have a shuckle for trade...(But I got a great TR one from anti awhile ago)....xD

even with the spA drop it's not going to survive a 252spA specsmence draco meteor, unless you pain split at the same time.

If you were going to be annoying though. Pain split on the draco meteor, protect on the second, take the third hit and pain split again, and lol DM is down to 2 pp. XD

Just make the Cynthia-Team so you can have fun in life

Does the Everstone trick only work on the first egg that comes out? Or does it work for all the eggs that keep coming?

 

[forbidden]

All eggs as long as its on Ditto or a female poke breeding with a poke that's not ditto.

RNG hates you still! xD

 

[Yoko Rains]

2 Jolly's so far, and I've been breeding since Saturday, straight breeding.

 

[EconBiscuit]

If i was to breed two egg moves onto a poke, and then bred that poke with a ditto, Would the Egg moves pass on. If so must that poke be male?

EDIT: Yoko, the RNG does in fact hate you

 

[Yoko Rains]

It must be male for that to work.

 

[gunitdawg]

Whats the best nature for Gulpin?

 

[Volteon]

Yes, to pass moves, it must be a male. Ditto x Female won't get you egg moves.

Humm.. can Weavile work as Adamant?
I have this old Quadruple flawless Sneasel in Emerald. The only thing that let me down is because it's Adamant... No egg moves as well

EDIT: Beaten x_x
as for gulpin (Swalot) Check the analyses...

^ Ouch, no Ice Punch or Pursuit...

Well, Ice Shard can fill in for Ice Punch. And I guess Night Slash will work instead of Pursuit. Its also an awesome parent so...

Ditto + female works...

Adamant Weavile works only with egg moves. =\

 

[EconBiscuit]

If it's in Emmie you can surely BP the Ice Punch onto it? It'll be lacking the ability to Revenge Kill though

 

[Volteon]

I can get Ice Punch since it's in Emrald

EDIT:
Humm... you answered for me =P
Always late..

 

[forbidden]

I'd say ice shard is better...sword dance up and sweep with it! xD

Can someone give me the link to Smogon's "Hit List" of the biggest threats in DP to watch out for?

I may finally go get my PBR Magmortar. How do you SR its IVs?

 

[earthpeople]

Xilaa: Get the mystery gift from PBR/Wii. Then go to a pokemart. Save before talking to the guy in green, then talk to him. He'll give you the pokemon. Check it's IVs and if they are not good enough, reset the game and try again.

And for your convenience, here are the max stats for a Modest Magmortar at lv50: 150/103/87/159/115/103, speed last. Having those stats means it has IVs of 30-31 in that stat.


I have a question; Are there any pokemon that resist a combination of dragon/water attacks (IE Dragon Pulse + Surf) and if so, what are they?
