I've also heard that Eccentric fails when Ditto switches into Zoroark while Zoroark's Illusion is still active.

Oh, and can someone help me with Dream World? When I try to Game Sync to put a Pokemon to sleep, I get the following message on my DS:

ゲームシンクの　エネルギーぎれです　じゅうでんまで　１にち　ががります。

This is the "I can only send a pokemon once a day" message, right?

Just for my lead tyranitar:
1.Does download take account special defence boosts from sandstorm?
2.If a drizzle politoed and a sand stream tyranitar switch in at the same time, what is the weather going to be?

 

[Texas Cloverleaf]

Ditto also fails if you switch it in after a U-Turn kill.

@above:#2 the slower mon will have their weather activate

 

[Accipender]

Is it true that there will be no DW Unovan pokes?

 

[Galaspark]

Probably not. They probably just haven't released the areas for them yet.

 

[jwoozie]

Ditto's Eccentric won't activate if the other pokemon is behind a Substitute when Ditto switches in.

 

[Kaphotics]

I have a few questions:
1. Do the Zorua/Zoroark events still occur if I obtain the Shiny Beasts or Event Celebi through the Pokéshifter instead of the Transfer Machine?
2. For Zoroark, do I need all three the beasts or only one?

Transfer Machining them gives them a special met location that activates the event. Having them PokeShifted will not give them the trigger for the event.

You only need one.

I heard Darkrai is banned now...is this true? Sorry for n00b question.

 

[lmitchell0012]

Okay, just one question. Are OHKO moves still illegal in standard (even though game mechanics for sturdy have changed)??

Yes. Darkrai has been recently voted out of Gen 5 OU.

Okay, just one question. Are OHKO moves still illegal in standard (even though game mechanics for sturdy have changed)??

Yes. They are still disallowed from all of Smogon's competitive tiers, even Ubers.

Darkrai is banned, along with Shaymin-S, Deoxys-A, Deoxys-N, and Inconsistent. See this thread and this thread for details.

 

[chocolate-kipp]

That's what I was hoping for and what I expected. Thanks!

 

[sax king]

I see people saying that Inconsistent has been banned. I'm curious, is that just speculation, or have votes been tallied? If so can someone post a link to the voting results or just tell me what happened?

 

[TorchicBlaziken]

It happened and the ability is Uber. Even a Snorunt is Uber if you use one with that ability.

Yeah, Inconsistent got 96% and Skymin is the first to ever have a unaminous vote in favour of banning it. In other news, Manaphy & Drizzle are automatic suspects for the next round, while Doryuuzu & Latios have to be nominated again.

Just for my lead tyranitar:
1.Does download take account special defence boosts from sandstorm?
2.If a drizzle politoed and a sand stream tyranitar switch in at the same time, what is the weather going to be?

yes at the first question.

 

[Athenodoros]

For the second question, whichever is slower.

 

[IronGross]

Is there any use for both Flamethrower and Overheat on Choice Scarf Shandera/Heatran?

 

[chimpact]

Well late game you would use flamethrower after you know your opponents team and if you really want to revenge something you would use overheat.

 

[IronGross]

So Flamethrower/Shadow Ball/HO Ice/Overheat for Shandera?

 

[froggrunner]

Is there a black and white in-game tier list (thats more comprehensive than the one on Smog 12)?

 

[Galaspark]

Not that I know of. Some really good pokemon to use ingame are Hihidaruma, Shandera, Warubiaru, Daikenki, Mebukijika, and Denchura (w/ Compoundeyes).

Alright, thanks!

Giving a more specific answer to the in-game question, have a look at this thread.
