ive just tested and im sure its completely random, and your number lies (or something used sand attack against you). i used it 21 times and throughtout it got random stats, but once a stat reaches +6, it doesnt get calculated into the mix. so if you get 3 attack boost, you'll have a 1/6 chance to get something instead of 1/7 since attack is maxed. after i had +6 in each stat, it kept showing that the attack failed.
no i didnt do 7 consecutively, lol. i guess i shoulda mentioned that. in the 7 times i used it, i got those results!
thanks for testing though, i guess i was just lucky/unlucky
edit: wait lol i DID mention that, i said for a few battles
Didn't think I'd be able to contribute something, but I guess I can.
Today I faced a friend of mine on Wi-Fi. He had two Pokemon left, a Glameow and a Torterra. His Glameow used Assist, and then used In Fight (Close Combat in English, I think). The only Pokemon that knew In Fight was his Staraptor, which I had fainted. So Assist does use fainted Pokemon's moves in D/P.

Just wanted to add that Magic Guard blocks damage caused by Life Orb. You can essentially use it with no penalty.
Where can you find a Kirlia? I found it has been found at the Sinnoh PokeDex but where?
Radar on Route 203.
Thanks. I wanted Kirlia because I want to evolve it into my favorite Pokemon, Gallade. Because he is so cool.
Okay, I got to the Magma Stone and beat my rival in the Fight Area but where do I go now?
I do not know what the Poke Radar does. When I used it in the grass, some grass spots moves and some shining. I do not know what that means...Can you tell me what does it actully do?
Perhaps Mekkah's statement was not direct enough. These types of questions do not belong here. They belong in the "Ask a question..." thread.
And we very strongly recommend looking up these things on Serebii or Marrilland first before cluttering up the "Ask a question..." thread further.
thank marriland!
Oh, that is what it does. Thank Marriland for telling me this. Hey, wait. Was it Marriland on Youtube that does episodes of himself playing Pokemon Diamond and has Monferno and an Alakazam on it's team?
OK, I have a question which I think isn't so simple, so I'll ask it here.
I've just caught a Palkia, with my early lv40 pokés, got the 8th badge and went for Valor (?) Cavern, to catch Azelf. However, he was too powerful for my pokémons (Nasty Plot+Uproar=Dead Roselia; Nasty Plot+Future Sight=Dead Empoleon, so no), and I ended up losing the battle. But, seeing he was still there, in the cave, I saw no problem saving the game. That would be good, because I'd not need to actually catch it to obtain the National Dex.
But now I'm kinda worried. Azelf's IVs and Nature were set for that first battle, but I lost. Will it keep all of them set when I fight him again, or will they be randomized, just like I've never fought him?
Not only Azelf, but I ended up losing to Uxie :/ But that was on purpose, because I was planning just catch them after the E4... At least I didn't do that with my favorite, Mesprit ._.

I'm pretty sure they are set now. :/
Experience tells me that their info would be set, now.
Sarenji and I tested it; Shoal Salt didn't heal Heracross, Golduck, Torterra, nor Lapras.
More stuff about Arceus - Its trait seems unswappable and uncopyable. Not surprising, though.
Oh, and I'm absolutely happy to inform you that the infamous Azelf which defeated me got its IVs and Nature randomized when I battled him again twice. So, I'm still looking for my future Timid Azelf :]
Wow, are you serious. That's awesome. I'm telling this to my firend who also died to Azlef right now. ^^
Okay, I've searched the thread and haven't found anything regarding this, so:
In case anyone was wondering (besides me), I've conducted a little test concerning Synchronize: even if the bearer is Toxic'd, Synchronize will still pass over normal poison (which is kinda of a letdown IMO - not that I hoped passing over Toxic consistently would be something useful in the long run, but it's more like I think it's a bug that has been skipped =P).

I hope I don't look like an idiot for asking this, but this wasn't answered in the first page: Does the Big Root increase the HP drained away by Leech Seed?
