Ok, somewhat stupid question: Does Brine double in power if the foe is at exactly half HP (ie, 101/202)? If so, I might of just saved a battle video of the biggest Maison hacking ever. If not, then the last 3 days have been the biggest waste of team-scheming I've done in a long time.
Also, if someone has a decent female Magician Fennekin/Braixen/Delphox spitback, I might have something nice sitting in a box. Haven't done Pokémon much lately, and for some reason I have no DW Fennekin at all even though I have a flawless Modest DW Male Delphox. Knowing me, I wonder traded the one or two I had.
Edit: Bulbapedia says "... at or below 50% health", Veekun says "Has double power against Pokémon that have less than half their max HP remaining.", Smogon says "Base Power doubles if foe's HP is 50% or less." and Serebii as usual quotes the useless ingame text.

It works at = or < 50%
thanks ill do that appreciate the help
thanks dude that help a lot, ill have to try it out and see where it goes and ill defiantly keep you in mind
so i should of mentioned the pokemon i do have thats steel: lucario, metagross, syther, mawile, agislash, so i would need to trade for all of that list mostly
If that's the case, then we have this video:
E7UW-WWWW-WWWA-8NN4
In which we have Gardevoir and Escavalier survive the one-two punch of Super Fang followed by a STAB, Rain boosted Brine with double power (65*1.5*1.5*2 = 290 With respect to ingame flooring), which is something that's very, very difficult to tank without a resistance. For example, a half HP Brine:
212+ SpA Lapras Brine vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Gardevoir in Rain: 88-105 (50.2 - 60%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
212+ SpA Lapras Brine vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Escavalier in Rain: 94-112 (53.1 - 63.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Taking Super Fang into consideration... neither of them has even a 0.0000000000001% chance of survival. And both lived. No Endure, and since its a two attack combo, sash and Sturdy are moot, Focus Band was not used, and they had mor ethan 1 HP each.
Actually, wait.
I *think* what's going on here, after looking at it for a bit, is that Gardevoir/Escavalier had Odd HP, and since Super Fang rounds damage down and not up, Escavalier would have taken (floor(177/2)=88) 88 damage, so had 89/177 (50.2%) HP, further confirmed by having a Green HP bar after Super Fang, meaning.. anything with Odd HP narrowly dodges the double power of Brine.
So... yeah, wasted the last 3 days on a stupid idea. damnitfuckshitwhydoesthisalwayshappen.
I guess adding Surf to the moveset would fix that... means I lose HydraRest though. ;_;
Yeah, I looked it up and figured that out. I would personally not use it because of its fairly narrow scope, but I apologize for spreading misinformation.
Can someone go into my Friend safari and catch me a female Shadowtag Gothorita in a Dive Ball and if there's Wobbuffet (I forget if there is), a female Shadowtag one in a Premier Ball and a female Telepathy one in a Quick Ball would be awesome :]
I can do this for you :) I'll let you know if there's a Wobbuffet in your safari too.
Toss... HP is too low and the Nature is useless :(
Just got a Lonely Yveltal in a Lux Ball, 30, 31 / 30, 31 / 18, 19 / 30, 31 / 26, 27 / 30, 31
Keep/Toss? I'll try and get more precise IV's in a bit

Any suggestions on this RNG?
inb4 starmie can't pass the ball through breeding...
With enough time investment you can get much higher. I would toss.
mmmm.... narrowed it down a bit and got:
30, 31 / 31 / 19 / 31 / 26 / 31
HP Steel, which is actually the only useful HP for Yveltal :O
Dat defense though... I wouldn't settle for anything less than 25, under 20 is really just not good enough. But you might think otherwise.
Toss imo
If you like it, keep it, but I would go for higher defenses.
252 (lonely) SpA Life Orb Yveltal Hidden Power Steel vs. 104 HP / 0 SpD Xerneas: 177-208 (42.2 - 49.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252 (lonely) SpA Life Orb Yveltal Hidden Power Steel vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Arceus-Fairy: 146-174 (32.8 - 39.1%) -- 99.7% chance to 3HKO
Toss imo :v no reason for Yveltal to stay in on those two anyway.
Bumping over the page turn...? Still holding out hope...
it's for Diancie, which resists both of Yveltal's STABs. Oblivion Wing does just as much to those two anyway. (60*2=80*1.5)
Final Stats are 30 / 31 / 19 / 31 / 26 / 31, gonna run a few calcs to see if it matters.
HP Steel over Taunt just to hit Diancie is a pretty big waste of a moveslot...
LO Yveltals usually run Dark Pulse/Sucker Punch/Hurricane or Oblivion Wing/Taunt
Diancie in Ubers lol. Maybe in ORAS but Mega Diancie would beat Yveltal 1v1 anyways
Edit: Heck, I didn't even think Diancie was viable in Ubers. With all the Kyogres/Scizors/Jirachis/GeoXern/Klefki spam going on in the metagame atm.
I wouldn't actually use HP Steel, but it is the only Hidden Power that could ever be useful on Yveltal. Anyway, there's only about a 1% difference in bulk from this Yveltal and a flawless, so fk it I'm keeping. Also the reason I SR'd Lonely Yveltal:
252+ Atk Life Orb Dark Aura Yveltal Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Palkia: 305-360 (94.7 - 111.8%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO
Get rekt Palkia
I'm not a dentist, but I don't think Yveltal is a very good Palkia counter.
