..team building guides worth reading? The GF one sucks basically, nothing I didn't already know, I was hoping for something with some insight into team synergy and stuff like that, the best methods for supporting your "favourite" pokemon as the core of your team, etc... I realize you can...

Just wondering what the best ways to spread EV's are.. For sweepers, I know the best bet is to make sure they are as fast as possible, and hit as hard as they possibly can, resulting in 252 speed EV's and usually 252 in the attack stat they use, some mixed sweepers use both though by splitting...

Hey, I got a test thingy for Uni to do but I'm stumped on some questions, really, really early on in it. I don't want answers, just what these things mean. How do I express 3(-2) as a fraction? The (-2) actually isn't in brackets though, it's in little text slightly above the 3. I don't know...

Sometimes I'll be cruisin' up and down the breeding route waiting for an egg for ages, twice I've just gone and talked to the old egg man, and he's had the egg there, even though the breeding pokètch thingy said there was no egg. Anyone else had this happen? Basically, the dude has an egg the...

Hey, I was hoping to find a chart that displays all pokemons stats with certain natures, since clickin' "Speed" on Serebii only shows the top 100.. I wanna see them all though, it'd help out heaps. Since I'm interested in what a base 70 speed pokemon would outrun if it were to use a speed...

Brick Break, Sky Uppercut, or Drain Punch? All of them look like excellent moves, but really since Sky Uppercut misses 10% of the time (lookin' on the bright side for sure), it's really between Brick Break and Drain Punch. Drain Punch heaps 50% of damage inflicted, and with a base power of 60...

Both moves are only learnt by Mr. Mime, Xatu, Girafarig and Mewtwo. Medicham gets it by breeding. Power Swap swaps the targets attack and special attack stats around, and Guard Swap swaps the targets defence and special defence stats around. I see some potential in this, but I'd like to know...

95 base power VS 80 base power. Thing is, Lava Plume has a 20% *higher* chance of inflicting burn status, so it shouldn't be shrugged off so quickly. Meaning it has a 30% chance of inflicting burn, which is pretty good if you ask me, for only a little less power. I know I've made a topic...

http://serebii.net/attackdex-dp/gastroacid.shtml It just cancels the ability of the enemy. I was wondering if there's any use for this, since I have a thing for these moves that nobody uses and are only learnt by a few different pokemon. Would it end a Sandstream if used against...

I'm wondering what the communities opinion on stat-downs is? I think they are an excellent way of buying time and giving you some free space to try for a setup, and I'm interested in peoples thoughts on stat-downs. By stat-down I don't mean WOW or TWave, I'm talkin' like Charm and Flash. They...

Which one is better really? Thunderbolt does more damage, sure, but Discharge has a 30% chance of paralysis, and isn't that much weaker. I will personally be using Discharge where I can, specifically for my Zapdos, since I can not use Thunder Wave and Thunderbolt at the same time, and replace...

This is a battle log of my assist team, which just made some dude disconnect on Netbattle just now.. Battle Log: Battle Mode: Ruby/Sapphire Rule: Sleep Clause Rule: Freeze Clause Rule: Battle Timeout Rule: Unrated Rule: Show Enemy HP King Turi vs Hiro Nakamura. Begin! King Turi sent out Furret...

..on team building? Most people seem to just go "oh, he's over used, he's in for sure", rinse and repeat while they look for over used versions of walls/tanks/phasers/sweepers. But Surgo posted an excellent thread here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17743 However I don't see...

G'Day, I was wondering exactly how "Assurance" works? It's Dark, physical, 50 base power - goes to 100 base power when the opponent is already hurt that turn.. Does this mean with Tyranitars Sand Stream, it'll have a base power of 100 each time? With his STAB that'd be base power of 150 every...

http://serebii.net/pokedex-dp/059.shtml That's his.. serebii page.. Has his stats and movepool which saves me from typing that crud up. Straight onto Arcy. He has legendary stats but a very limited movepool meaning his options are little to none but I can make it work. 'Cuz I'm pro and...
