    Pokémon Blastoise

    The calculations are on the opening post. While it's only for shield form, the fact that it can reliably 2HKO those defenses should tell you all you need about its damage output to non-shield form.

    Pokémon Rotom-H

    I noticed you used his spread, but seemed to use a different nature (be it Timid, Calm, Bold, whatever, it wasn't Modest). If you use Modest, Volt Switch jumps up to 50% chance to OHKO with that spread. 252+ SpA Rotom-H Volt Switch vs. 88 HP / 0 SpD (custom): 294-348 (92.16 - 109.09%) -- 50%...

    Pokémon Blastoise

    Do you run it Modest or with a different nature? And wouldn't Ice Beam be an option over Aura Sphere for countering dragons, since it seems like Aura Sphere is the most situational of the three attacks. I imagine dragons still don't like eating Dark Pulses regardless.

    Move Stealth Rock

    Pretty sure those are banned because they enforce a predominately luck based game. Stealth Rock does not. It has nothing to do with "liking" it or not.

    Resource ORAS OU Simple Questions, Simple Answers (Read the OP First!)

    Are we aware how Hidden Power is calculated this generation? I'd like to breed a 5max Eevee (all but attack) to have either Fire or Ground, but I'm not sure if that's possible just by having varying attack stat values.

    Pokémon Blastoise

    Correct on the first two, but Dark Pulse is a TM move. Incidentally, Squirtle cannot learn Dark Pulse, but Blastoise can. I'd like to follow up on this, since the current spread in the OP is 252 SpA. Are those remaining EVs worthless in SpA after all, or is there something that it's worth...

    Some sort of Egg 'RNG' Abuse (Read the first post!)

    It's not guaranteed, no. I was trying it last night with a perfect father and random mothers, changing up the power item on the father. By changing it (mother had destiny knot), one of the other IVs he had been passing down got removed from his pass-down list. Of course, this was with him...

    Pokémon Charizard

    Weren't those calcs assuming Sun was up rather than Sand? So he should still be able to switch in just fine, he just couldn't stay in on the reverse. I may have misread it, but that's how they looked. These are the calcs I'm getting on Showdown: 0 SpA (custom) Overheat vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD...

    Pokémon Charizard

    Probably better to just run Earthquake (regardless of either Dance being on the set or not) to get a hit off on their weak stat, provided you run Y with either -Def or -SpDef rather than -Atk.

    So it seems the Dream World is done by linking up to the Pokemon Global Link. Two questions for this: 1) Is the PGL a DSi feature, or is it just the new GTS that you can use with even an old DS? 2) It mentioned something about a website on serebii. Does this mean you have to actually set up...

    Any word yet on exactly what features are DSi only, and what those features do? I heard one was some sort of scan or something, and I think there was one more feature, but don't recall what they were or what they did.

    Wouldn't Slaking have to hit Scizor, not vice-versa?

    Not as hard as you seem to think it is. People do it for anime pictures all the time, with much more difficult overlays. Not really. The only evidence that it's not fake is "Well, it looks too professional" and "Why would they show Porcon2 if they don't have details for him". I'd say...

    Or it means the fake page lifted the image from the page with Aloe.

    How does wrestling have anything to do with China? That's what he's supposed to represent, remember?

    How do you put an image into a scanner wrong to the point that it changes the image? Besides, he uses "I believe" quite a lot for someone who's trying to say that they're 100% real. As for the water Pokemon, meh still like the starter and water monkey the best out of them. Water/Flying isn't...

    That's a bit of an overstatement. On my English version, I'll start with the bacon since I always take the fire-type there. However, if I end up deciding to import a copy as well, I'll likely start with Ikkaku-lion. I hate the fire-starter, don't really care for most grass-types that don't...

    No no, I meant 156 total in the generation. I think we've only seen like 20-30 of those 156.

    I think I read 156 total, so however many we've seen thus far subtracted from that.

    That's exactly the point. They are questionable. We don't know that the info is correct. Why? Look at the ones on Serebii and you can see how the pages are supposed to be formatted. Page 14 on the left (legendaries) and page 15 on the right (starters). This is western formatting, not...
