On a standard curselax, what would be the best complimentary move to return? I'd say fire punch, but it becomes a BP of 150 on SE hits, while a stab return becomes 153, so what would be best?

I use crunch on mine, Paired with a lum/chesto berry, i counters Gengar quite well. With fire punch you can hit incoming scizors who try to switch in to the stab Normal move.

Use the 'Look at What I Bred' Thread in the Wifi subforum next time. And no, that Darkrai is hurt by the low speed, and the Modest nature.

Damn I keep losing my posts... NowI'll never hit 2k...

Will cloning in Emerald fuck up your save file? I want to try it but want to know the risks
If you just follow the steps properly, will there be any repercussions like a corrupt/damaged save file?

It's perfectly safe. The only screwup I've heard of is that some people turn off during the pause, where it's doing a small save. And as we all know, interrupting a save is bad.

But it's only dangerous when you do it wrong. Do it right and it's fine.

alright thanks for the info

Anyone familiar with the Wi-fi USB connector?

I have a problem that seems to be happening for both of my computers, one desktop upstairs and one laptop downstairs, ruling out interference problems and firewall shit. For some reason, whenever I try to get on Wi-fi with my DS, it has this weird thing of showing up as fully connected, with 3 green bars, and then for no reason terminating the connection suddenly. I have the same problem with my Wii as well. The error message always shows up as something like "cannot find Wifi USB connector" or "cannot connect to internet" (to be specific, stuff like 52203 at I enter on Nintendo's site and doesn't help at all).

Anyone know of something like this? x_x; I need to get some trades done today.

that happened to me the other day when i was out and about.

i tried three different wi-fi hotspots and that exact thing occured.

very frustrating.

yeah, I experienced that too, I was pending a trade on serebii and then the connection went red and said "connection error, you have disconnected fron NWFC", shit.

 

[Komodo]

i seem to be having problems getting onto shoddy, i try to connect and it says timed out, it has been like this for over a week. i have uninstalled and reinstalled and it stall happens, anyone have any ideas on what to do ?

 

[Malfunction]

Are you trying to connect on the official server? It also happened to me, but I'm not sure.
The smogon server works for me, though.

 

[Erodent]

With no bred moves, what can Skarmory still do o_O

Just trying to figure out if it still has a purpose. Roost/Roar/SR/Spikes? XD

that seems to be the only server thats there, when i click refresh no others appear, not even smogons

 

[Malfunction]

Go to the 'advanced' button, and write 'smogon.com' in the first slot and '50000' in the second. It should work that way.

You could always substitute A.Ace for a weak Drill Peck? Are your intentions to use a chained shiny in combat?

Adamant? Jolly?

Ice Shard
Night Slash
Brick Break
Ice Punch? Pursuit? Swords Dance? Maybe even Iron Tail? I'm trying to be original...​

Yessir! Is not Drill Peck an egg move though?

 

[Evil Hamster]

Drill Peck is a breeding move for Skarmory.

Rest/Talk/Roar/Spikes could be a good option with some Speed investment; seeing as with ReSTalk you lose Roar's negative priority and can blow stuff around pretty easily to rack up some passive damage. Steel Wing/Spikes/Roost/Roar is always an option too, as it allows you to hit Tyranitar harder.

 

[Lorak]

Yessir! Is not Drill Peck an egg move though?

It is, thus the recommendation to put in Aerial Ace as a weak equivalent to Drill Peck.

 

[Cipher Admin Lovrina]

Still making my Lovrina team...
Which should I choose?
Any suggestions for the UU team that might fit the theme, but still be moderately powerful?

OU/BL: Roserade/ Gardevoir/ Milotic/ Blissey
UU: Altaria/ Gorebyss
NU: Luvdisc/ Beautifly/ Delcatty/ Farfetched

4th Gen Candidates: Froslass, Leafeon, Lopunny, Purugly, Pachirisu,

Shuckle, Blissey, Milotic, Wobbuffet, Meganium, and Misdreavus come from her Orre Colosseum team. Mismagius could also be subbed in as a fourth-gen candidate?

 

[Erodent]

Very nice Hamster! Thank you Lorak.

 

[Cipher Admin Lovrina]

Her use of Farfetched is rather impressive to me, but I doubt it could do anything useful.

I traditionally like UU, but I need a better pool to select from. Altaria and Gorebyss are a start, but Delcatty wouldn't fit in...

 

[Matthew]

Ok, let me phrase the question differently.

a base 100 pokemon has a min 236 speed. What is the math required to do this? I see no correlation between that 100 and the 236. After I learn that I think i'll be set...
