What would be better on a Naugthy Garchomp with perfect iv's in attack and sp.att, Fire Fang or Fire Blast? I know it sounds obvious, but i tried out fire blast and i am a little concerned with the accuracy and PP......also, is fire blast weakened in a sandstorm?

 

[Hawkings 11]

The "memory" is on the cartrige. If you have dp and pokemon ranger, you can play them both on the same ds (unless you do wierd shit). I should know, i've done.

Thanks for the information and replying.

Fire Blast for hitting skarm/other phys walls on their usually (much) lower SpD and for far greater overall power.

also fire fang is not weakened by sandstorm ~__~

Can you release a legendary such as Heatran and Cresselia then catch it again to change its Nature?
I know that you can save before you catch them and try again and again to achieve this. But I have never heard this method before. Can someone please clarify?

 

[Sunday]

You can use a rebattle code Via AR. Releasing them won't work.

 

[ahungryhobo]

Okay, thats what I thought.
Thanks for the help

Can I Sketch Counter this way:(in a double battle..)

Turn 1:
Opponent does whatever
Opponent does whatever
Ambipom uses Counter
Smeargle Protects

Turn 2
Smeargle uses Sketch on Ambipom
Opponent does whatever
Opponent does whatever
Ambipom uses counter.

On turn 1 I said Protect for Smeargle to ensure it stays alive(and since it wont go after Ambipom using counter), so Im hoping that Sketch carries over to the next turn (as in, it will sketch the move the Pokemon used the turn before)

Thanks.

Yeah, it should work.

Try to do this:

Smeargle used Protect
Opponent used Whatever
Opponent used whatever
Ambipom used Counter (on SMEARGLE, so it fails)

Then next turn:

Opponent uses Whatever
Opponent uses whatever
Smeargle sketches Ambipom's counter (from past turn)
Ambipom used Counter (otherwise, ambipom would outspeed smeargle, causing smeargle to sketch a wrong move)


That should work.

 

[Jibaku]

Ambipom used Counter (on SMEARGLE, so it fails)

I thought Counter targets the user? I could be wrong, though

 

[Davy]

I thought it didn't in double battles.


I'll go try it

 

[Yoko Rains]

Does Synchronize only Synch the nature or IV's as well?

 

[DiamondDust]

no, only the ability, yoko.

 

[Yoko Rains]

You mean nature right? =D

And thanks dude!

 

[jujuomi]

Yea, it is nature. Ivs are not synch'd at all.

 

[TaiwaneseDude]

TaiwaneseDude: they're the most legit hacks you can get. hasn't affected my game in 2 years of doing so.

Alright, thank you so much. I'll get started on this game :D

Is there a competitor discussion thread? If so, can I have a link.

Does the move flash violate evasion clause?

 

[Volteon]

Don't think so. You can simply switch to erase the accuracy decrease, unlike Double Team.

 

[Jarizos]

^ thanks

What's the difference between a Wall, Tank and Supporter?

 

[Jarizos]
