Okay can someone tell me if my calculations are correct?
311 attack + Rivalry = 388.75 Right?
assuming that is correct
Rivalry + Choice Band = 583.125??!!

That seems like too much so thats why i'm asking here.

There are two hidden power fighting UU (pokemon name) on the wifi board already that I know of, but I was planning on breeding one. I was also planning on another UU pokemon, but I've seen exactly one on the wifi forums. Is there any point in breeding either outside of personal use now? Or coudl teh demand still be high?

And I'm not putting names, just in case you're getting ideas lol.

What's a good Poke for taking status on a team? Right now, Gengar with Hypnosis and Breloom with Spore rape my team. Any thoughts?

I'm talking about Sleep and Burn mostly, but being able to take a Para and Poison is good too.

Maybe a Guts pokemon like Heracross? Doesn't take care of spore though. The only way to take care of that is early bird or insomnia, or a sleep heal berry. May make a good surprise against breloom leads.

i'm afraid hera's too frail for that role. t-wave will give it a big attack boost but slow it right down, and unless you give it sleep talk, it can't do anything in sleep. if you do, you'll either have to take out choice band/scarf or just suffer from lower stats and unreliable attacks. i prefer guts machamp for this role. give it rest talk and guts. you can use no guard if you want to, but i think as a status absorber, guts is more flexible. any bulky sleep talker really can be quite effective.
 
Would a substitute-agility-baton pass combo work on Jolteon? I know that agility is commonly used with him, but I'm not certain on how to pass it exactly.
Also, it is dangerous for it to only have one offensive move in thunderbolt/charge beam/HP Ice?

EDIT: This is all assuming that they switch when they see Jolteon.
Another though comes to mind; how would Jolteon handle a pHazer or Hazer? Would it be wise to give it Roar as a surprise for those?

Or is there any pokemon that can pass wish and agility that doesn't rely on substitute?

Well Jolteon is the fastest Baton Passer of both Wish and Agility. The others are Girafarig, Minun, Plusle, and of course Smeargle.

Roar can work as a surprise technique. As it is faster than most common pHazers and can take them out before they get to Roar / Whirlwind you out.

I suggest using Thunderbolt / Charge Beam as Gyarados would shut you sown with Taunt and Skarmory one of the most common pHazers can Whirlwind / Roar you out and you can kill it with Thunderbolt.

The bad thing about using Substitute, Agility, and Baton Pass is the Encoreres in the game. If you try to Agiility the opponent might force you to switch my usin Encore, continuing the stat up, thus giving time to break your sub or switch into an effective counter.

What happens when you pass Color Change to a double type pokemon??
Click to expand...
Nothing. You have a double type Pokemon with Color Change.

However, AFTER you pass the ability, and it gets hit, it becomes single-typed, of the attack. Charizard: Fire / Flying => Ghost
 
I'm SRing for the Legendaries in my Sapphire later on and am wondering what are the best natures to go for each one?
 
could someone explain to me this ev spread given in the analysis for an Adamant Guts Ursaring using the Swords Dance set?

228 HP / 252 Atk / 12 Def / 12 SpD / 6 Spe

???
 
6 speed to outspeed something guess, 252 attack for max attack power.

as for the wierd defences, i believe those EVs allow you to take hits slightly better overall then 252 hp would, although using x-acts calculator with adamant/jolly nature, it recomended 244 hp and 4 in each defece to me.

thats an open question :S

anyhow, imo:
regirock: sassy/careful/impish/relaxed
regice:sassy/calm but bold or relaxed could work
registeel:any +sp.def /- either attack/speed nature should work. + sp.def allows draco meteors to be taken easier.

rayquaza: not an expert here, ask someone else.
kyogre:modest/timid for scarf. especially modest.
 
Max Attack for obvious reasons, and the small speed investment allows him to outrun no-speed Blissey and Machamp. The other EV's maximise durability but I'm really not sure why they haven't just maxed the HP.

Anyway - question. I REALLY should know this by now, but I'm just looking for confirmation. If my Pokemon has Pokerus, and the stat-specific power item, how many speed EV's would I get for beating a Zubat?
