Data Ask a Simple Question, Get a Simple Answer (6th Gen ASB Version)

[Mulan15262]

Yes. If the pokemon accumulates the EC after the profile is sent to the ref, that added EC does not count.

Who can approve my profile?

Who can approve my profile?

I can, but you have a lot more work to do before anyone capable of approving your profile will give you the A-OK. Read through the Beginner's guide.

With the release of CAP 18,can Volkraken be used in ASB yet?

 

[Avnomke]

No, because we don't have Volkraken's pre-evolutions made yet.

 

[Psyco_Josho]

magikarpmandude To be more specific, we haven't even decided if it's going to have a Pre-evolution. (I think it will tho.)

I'm afraid there's no way to ask this without sounding like a Kiddy Sissy Baby Whiner, but I want to make sure I fully understand things.
Is editing one's orders allowed. I thought that it was a no, but I'm looking for a reference for this rule-in-my-head and I can't find one...
Sorry to be that guy, but since no one expects me to win SICK, I feel like I need to use everything I can to get a chance...

 

[Avnomke]

It is allowed as long as your opponent has not ordered yet and/or the ref has not reffed yet.

 

[ff7hero]

Thanks Avnomke, I'll just have to try harder next round :)

Two things:
1) On the NDA, it says that Magic Guard does not block Life Orb recoil. Where do I point this out so someone can fix it?
2) Is there some sort of table showing what natures are best for each Pokemon? Natures are the only real difference between Pokemon in ASB. Would making such a table be worth it?

1) You could post it in the feedback thread, or insert a comment into the box for Magic Guard's description on the NDA.

2) When I go buy a pokemon, I usually look around at what natures other people gave that pokemon earlier unless I have a specific idea because no such able exists. As for whether or not it is worth it, it depends upon whether or not you have the time to do it.

 

[akela]

A nature table is not really worth it, given some pokemon can run 5+ different natures. If you prefer special attacks, a special nature is better.

Can Earthquake hit a Levitating Pokemon while it uses Dig?

EDIT: Apparently it can't in-game. I assume that means it can't here, but feel free to correct me on that.

When I go second, am I allowed to make a sub for if an opponent's combo is deemed illegal?

 

[Mulan15262]

I would assume so, but the ASB Player's Handbook does not say a thing about subbing for illegal combos, so idk.

 

[Stratos]

yes

 

[Mulan15262]

Do legend runs have a limit to the amount of times you can recover/chill? What about the amount of mega-evolutions you can use?

 

[Avnomke]

No, and yes, 1.

 

[tavok]

If an opponent uses U-turn, and then I use Roar, what happens?
And viceversa, too (Roar then U-turn).

 

[Texas Cloverleaf]

Latter used move gets the effect

 

[epicdrill]

Does the release for Bide have +1 priority, or is that just the initial action Bide is used on?

 

[Dogfish44]

All 3 actions of Bide have +1 Priority.

 

[Geodude6]

Can someone explain to me why -Speed natures are calculated with /1.15 and not x0.85? The latter is technically the correct calculation for -15%.

 

[Dogfish44]

Because /1.15 is the inverse of *1.15, as in our +Speed mechanics. The NDA clearly lists in the natures section that we use "Speed ÷ 1.15", and in the Handbook "Nature" section it is also made clear.

Also because deck_knight said so. As well as being a pain in the ass for approvers if we changed it to *0.85 from /1.15.
