I'm pretty sure they answered your question already, though I'll add Heatran since Latias is weak to bug, dark, ghost, dragon, and ice (which Heatran resists) and resists water, ground, and fighting (which Heatran is weak to).
Whoops, that's weird, I didn't see their posts...my bad and thanks! :P
Why wouldn't you just run Infernape as it pretty much does that 100% better.
I've also been having fun with a troll Gengar set of Shadow Ball / Focus Blast / HP Fire / Trick.
The item is Toxic Orb.
Often I'll end up eliminating both Scizor and Blissey as I HP Fire it while it SDs / U-turns and then trick the orb onto Blissey, crippling it for the rest of the match.
People are getting too used to 2 Attacks Gengar :P

My Infernape is too busy being a SubPunching Iron Fist Infernape to care about Special attacks.
So, I have a quick question. It might be a little stupid, but what do you guys think is better on Rotom-W ? Hidden Power Fire or Ice ?
On the one hand, Hidden Power Fire would be able to hit Ferrothorn / Skarmory hard, but on the other hand I have run into trouble with a lot of dragons. Also, Salamence is on my team so he should be able to handle steel types with Fire Blast. Let me know cuz I trained a HP ice Rotom and I need to know if I should switch

Once I log into the Dream World, does the 1-hour clock continue to run after exiting if I choose to exit without waking? I would think it would pause, but a recent experience has me believing that it keeps running.
it keeps running.
Does anyone know what the current UU banlist is? I'm just wondering if we're still going off usage stats, and if there's anything more than Kyurem in BL.
Yeah, usage stats, and Kyurem's joined by Staraptor, Espeon and Wobbuffet in BL.
SERIOUSLY!?!?!?!? That's... So retarded...
No effect, like, at all? Not even the boost it applies to Water moves?
LOOOOL. I'm sure she didn't mean that.
But still, in around 35 battles I had yesterday, Between my CroCune and my Politoed, I only burned ONCE. And on DS too! Somethings fishy here...
I am having a very hard time connecting to people via wifi, which in turn is causing me to get less battles than I would like, any advice for rectifying this problem?
If a base 90 Speed Poke with a -speed nature, 31 speed IV, and 4 EVs invested in speed uses a +two speed boosting move, what base speed of Pokes can it out speed...
Considering all opposing Pokes to have a neural speed nature, and are fully invested in speed?...
and...

The Second one. Quick attack is useless since you already are faster and you already have a priority move. Life orb is the best item.
You would be at 390 speed with those investments.
You will be able to outspeed base 127 speed pokes. So you wont outspeed Jolteon and Aerodactyl.
Is 1662 a good rank? I just downloaded PO, so...
How would one go about calculating the odds of Togekiss not getting hit if using Air Slash (95% acc 60% flinch) against a paralyzed opponent?I'm kinda looking to get the formula (even though math isn't my strong point) so I can also figure out ParaFusion or other problems like an attack against a Sand Veiler.Help is greatly appreciated.
Math calcs it.
There is a 57% chance to flinch (.95 * .6).
There is a 25% chance of full paralysis occurring.
The odds of your opponent moving is .75 * .43 = .3225 or 32.25%.
Accordingly, you have a 67.75% chance of not being hit, or roughly 2/3.
In essence, 1 - odds of breaking free is your chance of not getting hit.
Odds of breaking free would be .75 * .43, right? He needs not to be fully paralyzed, and needs not to be flinched.
This works the same with an opponent with sand veil who is paralyzed when you use Air Slash, or something.
You would have a .95 * .6 * .8 chance to flinch the opponent then, or 45.6% chance. 1 - .456 = .544. 1 - .544 * .75 = .592, or a 59.2% chance of not getting hit when your opponent is paralyzed but has sand veil when using the move Air Slash.
