  1. B&W Research Thread

    It was my understanding that the Zoom Lens boost would be applied whenever the target had already taken its turn in the round, not when the user moved dead last in the round. Have you tested to confirm this?
  2. B&W Research Thread

    You say Mold Breaker prevents the Attack boost from Flower Gift, presumably meaning the Attack boost that the Mold Breaker user would normally have if its ally has an activated Flower Gift ability. If this is true, does Mold Breaker: 1. Eliminate the Mold Breaker bearer's Attack boost against...
  3. B&W Research Thread

    EDIT: OK, I found this old thread, and also found out that my memory of that time is fuzzy and flawed. Regardless, here's the link. Draw your own conclusions.

    Wrong. Sky Attack had a high crit ratio in 4th gen, too.
  5. B&W Research Thread

    Yeah, this is how it worked in 4th gen, too. If all opponent's of a Pokémon with Trace had untraceable abilities (Trace itself, for instance, is not traceable), Trace would instead activate the moment an opponent that did have a traceable ability came onto the field. In fact, there was a loop...

    No qualifiers in flyover country yet again. Screw you, Nintendo.
  7. Flat Battle / Random Battle Discussion

    What? Arcanine does learn Close Combat, and Serebii says that it does.
  8. Simple Beam

    Simple Beam doesn't work on a target with Truant, so it's a no-go for Slaking unless you use Skill Swap to remove Truant first. That's too much setup for too little return, in my opinion, especially when you've got monsters like Latios and Garchomp running around. They're overpowered with zero...

    Yeah, I tried all three against wild Pokemon. Female Pidove Male Patrat Golett Cryogonal's Attract failed on all of them.
  10. Flat Battle / Random Battle Discussion

    Now that I've got over 100 wins in Triple Battles, I've noticed the number of people who DC against me has shot way up. I've never had a French opponent disconnect against me, although the sample size there is pretty small so far.
  11. B&W Research Thread

    Not that this needed confirmation, but I got the same result. I also tested whether Cryogonal's Attract would work on male or female Pokemon. It doesn't. I guess GameFreak made an oversight in giving Cryogonal Attract.

    Even if a Pokemon uses Protect, it is subject to the collateral damage from a Flame Burst that hits an adjacent ally. If a Pokemon used Destiny Bond on its last turn and gets knocked out by collateral damage from Flame Burst that hits an adjacent ally, it will not take the Flame Burst user down...

    If the Shift mechanic is used, the Pokemon standing in the spot where the Wish user was when it used Wish will receive the healing benefit. I have not yet tested Ally Switch, but I'd be very surprised if it didn't work the same way. Also, I've confirmed that the Wish user can successfully use...
  14. Aldaron's proposal: Alternatives?

    Maybe that's the problem? Because there are so many different ways to play the game now, some strategies are just plain going to work better in one environment than another. Instead of insisting that rain be viable in some tier of Singles play, why not just let it be viable in Doubles and...
  15. Aldaron's proposal: Alternatives?

    If people love rain so much as a playstyle, they can play Double or Triple Battles. You can (and probably should) ban all weather-inducting abilities there and weather-inducing moves will still be used. But what am I saying? Try something new and different? That'd be crazy! No, we'd better all...

    Maybe. If you want to test if it becomes 0 exactly, you could have two Pokemon with sufficiently high, but different Speed stats and see if it randomizes turn order between the two of them.
  17. B&W Research Thread

    Still, nothing odd about that number. It hasn't just jumped over a power of 2 or anything. And there haven't been any reports of people using Belly Drum only to have their Attack roll around to a tiny number, right? EDIT: Moreover, if Trick Room isn't active, your Ninjask with +6 Speed Boosts...
  18. B&W Research Thread

    You mean it should have 1840 after 6 Speed Boosts, right?
  19. B&W Research Thread

    mien, What level was your Ninjask at and what was its Speed after the +6 boost?
  20. B&W Research Thread

    I've been playing around with Rotation Battles and discovered something that I don't think is in the first post yet. Switching in a Rotation battle can happen before rotation. I had a battle where I switched my Zebstrika out for a Stoutland. The Stoutland came out and Intimidate activated...
