Just making a team to try and get a 100-win streak, and I think I need some help. Also, please note that these are my in-game pokemon, and the three I am using right now are obviously locked into their natures already, so please don't suggest I change natures because I don't want to raise more...

Aren't OHKO moves one target only? That's what they say on the MoveDex.

Are OHKO moves (Fissure, Sheer Cold, etc.) generally banned? Or would they be acceptable on a 2v2 team with No Guard Machamp? If I use Substitute (essentially me losing HP without getting hit or hazarded by the opponent) and I have a Focus Sash on, can I still take a hit directly after the Sub...

Can Arceus' ability Multitype be Skill Swapped onto another non-Arceus pokemon holding a plate? Essentially, can I use that to change the typing of a pokemon in battle?

Okay. Just a few more questions. How exactly do I determine the frame I actually hit, assuming I get the wrong Lugia? Where do I need to put the Lugia's stats in to figure it out? How do delays factor in to the pokemon I capture? I thought that time was not a factor in RNGing in HG/SS. I still...

If walking is inconsistent, then what else can I use inside caves? I thought the pokegear gets no reception. EDIT: Also, is time or target times, or anything of that sort relevant in HG/SS? If so, how can I get a target time for my desired frame? Using Method K with the RNG Reporter doesn't...

I have been trying to RNG for a good Lugia on my Soul Silver for the better part of the day, and after scouring Smogon for information I cannot seem to solve this problem without some more help. I am trying to catch this: Lugia (Timid) 31/17/31/31/31/31 Seed: D40501EF Frame 302 Both Raikou and...

I have been looking for information on this for several hours, and it seems as if it isn't really referenced in any of the guides here on Smogon, considering HG/SS is still new and people have not had time to properly research the US version yet. How does RNG manipulation in HG/SS differ from...

I've gotten kicked off of Shoddy four times today mid-battle; it tells me that it cannot connect to the server because it has timed out. It's really annoying because it forces me to forfeit the match. How do I prevent this from happening?

Would it be possible for me to soft-reset to get a good PBR Pikachu, or am I just stuck with the first (and only) one the game gives me?

Oh, you make it look so easy. :p Even so, thank you for typing it out clearly like that in step by step instructions; it should really help me with my breeding!

Elite Beat Agents. I was stuck on the final level (Jumpin' Jack Flash) of the third difficulty (Sweatin') for at least 4 or 5 months of steady playing until I finally beat it. The funny thing is that I rarely got frusturated with the game to the point that I would give up; it's just that fun...

I play sax for my band at school and would say I am pretty good at it. I've been taking lessons over the past year, and they've really helped me along in my playing abilities. I am able to play all 4 types of sax: Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Baritone.

Are you sure it's untouched? Are you sure you didn't hack it with perfect IV's or something? (Mine shows perfect IV's as well.) Question of my own: Is the only way to get Amnesia on Tangela without using one of the grass starters? I was thinking about going Amnesia Slaking -->...

Thank you. I intentionally didn't add Manaphy seeing as many people can't get a hold of one (much less one suited for battling), but I had forgotten about the two fossils. I'll add them ASAP.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! I will reply to everything else when I return tomorrow.

Oh, alright. Adding Bronzong gives me two pokemon that are imune to Ground, so putting Heatran in there also adds to my Fire resistance. May I add Mr. Mime? Filter, Barrier, Reflect/Light Screen, Substitute and Baton Pass make for a pretty good support pokemon. (Heal Bell Chimeco lol) NOTE...

The reason I didn't include Heatran in the Steel types is because he is 4x weak to Ground. He is not really good for mono-type teams because you want to try and minimize your vulnerability to the collective weakness that every member of your team shares. Using Heatran in the Steel types just...

Exactly. As I was making the Steel one I thought about that one. Imagine this: Hippowdon (Lead) Tyranitar (In case the weather gets changed) Swampert (Stealth Rock + Roar = Awesome) Gliscor (Sand Veil) Bronzong (Stall it out or something) Magic Guard Clefable (I could easily pull out a...

Over the past week or so I have been throwing around the idea of making single type teams for actual competitive play, and I think it is definitely a possiblity. Here I will try and outline the types that might work and pokemon that will be useful to use in such a team. I don't have a whole lot...
