  1. Double Battle Metagame.

    Yeah, true. Part of me is tempted to include the Lum Berry though, so that I can switch the item in if needed--if, say, it looks like an opponent might run Dark Void Smeargle or something.
  2. Double Battle Metagame.

    Alright, my consideration of a Doubles team has led me to this. I'm fond of Water Pokemon, and I'm fond of the idea of a Rain Dance team, so I'm about to start constructing this team for use in the tournament, unless somebody can point out some glaring flaw in it. Remember, six Pokemon total...
  3. Double Battle Metagame.

    I've heard the exact opposite, numerous times--that his stats are lowered because of Slow Start, and that, if Slow Start is removed, they'd stay lowered. Is it possible that I'm wrong? Of course, and I haven't tried if myself. But I have heard it many, many times, from many different sources.
  4. Double Battle Metagame.

    On Pokemon Battle Revolution? That might work fine. But IIRC--unless something's been changed on Platinum--for the handhelds, Skill Swap won't remove Regigigas' Slow Start, but will rather keep it on him permanently.
  5. Double Battle Metagame.

    I'm still in the process of reading more about doubles, but would this strategy be at all viable? Infernape@Life Orb Fake Out Protect Close Combat Fire Punch Smeargle@Focus Sash Dark Void Dragon Dance Explosion Night Shade Latios@? Reflect Light Screen Dragon Pulse Grass...
  6. Most Generation PRNG Help / Information

    Awesome, thank you! Now, time to pray that I finally find a wild shiny in Platinum.
  7. Most Generation PRNG Help / Information

    Very interested in learning more about this.
  8. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 15

    It looks like you're not really getting the answer here--given that this place is more competitive oriented than in-game oriented, it doesn't necessarily shock me, as people may not care as much about the contests. I wish you luck in finding the answer--maybe post it elsewhere?
  9. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 15

    Interesting. What's the suggested setup, then: Adamant@Life Orb, Swords Dance/Bullet Punch/Roost?/? I'm adding Roost there as an assumption, although I have no idea if Scizor can pull it off.
  10. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 15

    What is the importance of Scizor in the current metagame? It's always been a Pokemon I liked, ever since first seeing it in GSC, and I'm intrigued by how useful it is now.

  12. Idea for a Pokemon Wii Game

    With something like this, you have to think realistically. Nintendo is a business. Their goal is to make a profit. That does not mean this is impossible. My advice? Start researching it. Look into what the Wii can support, make projections of the time and money that would be required to...
  13. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 15

    That would have been a great place to post this, wouldn't it? This is what I get for not knowing what to do. Thank you. For the record, Special Attack would have been irrelevant on the set I was considering with these IVs >.> Avalanche is physical.
  14. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 15

    One last chance for somebody to tell me that it's not so good before I save it for the night?
  15. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 15

    If somebody cheats but isn't caught, is it still cheating? I have never understood the argument you're trying to use. The strict definition of "legit" in Pokemon tends to state that it must be obtained in the way Nintendo intended, and if you start your breeding line with hacked Pokemon...
  16. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 15

    I would say that it wouldn't be actually legit, but there are people who would accept it. I am personally not one of them, but. My own question: Would these IVs be viable for a Regice, using the Impish-natured set listed here for DP? Or would this Regice be ineffective? HP: 28 - 29 Att...
  17. Double Battle Metagame.

    Now that we're getting a level 50 Dragonite--one that can be used in the official tournaments, which, I believe, have a tendency to be double battles--what would be a good nature and IV spread for said Dragonite? Are there any notable Dragonite double battle sets? Given that we'll only get one...
  18. It's offical, the new formes DON'T work on wifi or union room.

    It's irrelevant PR. The people that will really care are competitive players, who will likely buy the game anyway for the tutors. They never actually promised that these Pokemon could be used on Wifi, right? That image could have been from local wireless. So it wouldn't even be that they...

    As weird as this request will seem--could somebody check Luvdisc?
  20. Pokemon Platinum - The definitive thread: Mach 2 (In-Game Discussion)

    I don't know, then there wouldn't really be a reason to have these extra forms--they'd all be interchangeable, with the same stats, same type, same moves, it would basically just be which sprite you liked best. This way, they each have their own niche, they're each different--but instead of you...
