I just hatched a Modest Swift Swim Poliwag with 31/31/31/28/31/31. Now, I was aiming for 31/x/31/31/31/31 but apparently the HP for this IV spread is Electric. Does Politoed have any use at all for HP Electric? Otherwise I'll just keep breeding for the one I wanted.

This is a very good idea considering the current NU is nearly triple the size of UU and OU. Not to mention the incredible power difference between the Articunos and the Unowns. I was a bit shocked when I opened up the tier list. I know WHY these Pokemon are NU, but it still looks weird seeing...

Okay, seriously, the lack of Land Shaymin usage makes me sad. #136 in OU usage, below several BL and UU Pokemon? I know Skymin and Celebi both outclass it now, but her biggest problem was always the shallow movepool that was somewhat healed in Platinum by gaining Earth Power and Air Slash. I'm...

I really don't get it, guys. Everybody keeps grouping EVs/IVs together when they say that Pokemon is strategic. We all know why EVs are strategic because Pokemon can be bent several different ways depending on their EV allocations. But what exactly is so strategic about IVs? They are nothing but...

I don't regret learning about EVs because any player is able to customize a Pokemon's EVs after the berries were added to Emerald. (But they are still tedious and annoying in-game. And because DPP have Wi-Fi, in-game actually matters for anything in the fourth generation.) IVs, on the other...

I do a little of both. My favorite Pokemon is Dewgong, but I'm not about to use him seriously in an OU battle anytime soon. I like Cacnea more than Cacturne, but I definitely wouldn't use Cacnea in a battle before Cacturne (not that Cacturne is the team staple of the century or anything). There...

Poliwag definitely deserves some credit in Crystal, as it is the game's earliest sleep-inducer. You catch it at level four and it learns Hypnosis at level seven. Being the earliest wild Water Pokemon (in case you go with Cyndaquil or Chikorita) and getting Body Slam, Perish Song and Belly Drum...

Well, I was just throwing my opinion in, because I saw "Magneton would be too strong for UU" a couple of times within a few posts that this has been discussed. :)

I mean this respectfully: why would Magneton be too strong for DP UU? Has it changed that much since its run in GSC UU? Was there some other reason that it wasn't UU in Advanced besides making Skarmory cry? Other than Defense and Special Attack, its stats are pretty lousy, with the bad HP...

Is there any possible way to Sketch Memento? It doesn't work if the Memento Pokemon is asleep and Memento isn't prevented if there are no other Pokemon in the party... so, yeah, I'm kind of stumped. I searched for "sketch memento" and didn't see anything about it. :( Not that I want to Sketch...
