Unlike many support or defensive Pokemon, Gardevoir lacks a reliable recovery move. Her best form of healing is Wish, which takes time to work. Unless she has paralysis or confusion support through Thunder Wave or Confuse Ray, respectively, it is unlikely that she will survive long enough for...

I have noticed that since the advent of new and surprising move sets, the older and more obvious ones are declining in use. One of the most prominent examples is Salamence. Most of the Salamence that you see now are the Choice Specs variant. The Dragon Dance and Choice Band versions are...

The last thread about the special resistance berries was back in January, so I thought I would make a new thread now that people have a feel of the D/P environment. The berries #36 to #52 are special berries that grant the holder a single turn of protection from a specific type of attack. This...

When would a Heracross benefit more from a Choice Scarf more than a Choice Band, and vice versa?

In the entry page for every Pokemon there is a short phrase that describes its behavior, for example "Alert to Sound." I heard that this has something to do with the IV of that Pokemon. Is this true? If so, is there a list that shows what IV translates to what text? I find it...
