(Archive) Small Objective Changes Thread

[Adeku]

I found couple errors in this thread http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51529

Errors:

They spelled ''formes'' multiply time's throughout the thread. It is spelled ''form's
'' or ''forms'' Either one works i guess.

Other spelling/grammar error is. They wrote ''switchins'' a couple times. It should be ''switch-ins''.

Also ''self explanatory'' Should be ''self-explanatory''

That's all i found wrong.

Actually this is the correct way of spelling it in this case, as it is the way it is spelt by the makers of the game.

Did some searching and your right. It's spelled officially as ''formes''. Interesting...

In the Bulky DDNite section, 4th sentence, it reads "than Outrage is your choice"
It should be then

[imapedarsag]

Horsea

36 Def/200 SpA/36 SpD/196 Spe
This is what is listed and it gives you 14 Def/16 SpA/9 SpD/16 Spe

36 Def/196 SpA/76 SpD/196 Spe
This is what I'm suggesting you change it to as it will give you 14 Def/16 SpA/10 SpD/16 Spe

A quick nitpick, at the bottom of Trapinch's page it says that Dugtrio is OU, when it dropped a while back.

I think the analyses seem to be down at the moment, but there is a small error in the Empoleon analysis on the lead set. It refers to the 152 HP evs, when the set actually has 156.

(by the way, I can recall it being as such from yesterday, and have confirmed by looking at the peer edit archive, in case you were wondering)

in move mechanics: physical and special moves

All damaging moves are either physical or special. Physical moves use the Attack stat while Special moves use the Special Attack stat.

For the first three generations, these moves were based on type. All Bug, Flying, Fighting, Ground, Normal, Poison, Rock, and Steel moves were physical. All Dark, Dragon, Electric, Fire, Ghost, Grass, Ice, Psychic, and Water moves were special.

ghost was physical

Original sentence : For example, Palkia can not 2HKO a +1 Kyogre with Thunder without Life Orb, while Kyogre 2HKOs most Palkia with Thunder.

Although you didn't mention it, OHKOs is also incorrect in that case. Thanks for pointing it out accidentally. =P

The Ramparos analysis page (http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/rampardos):

Head Smash is an option over Stone Edge on either set, as the Choice Scarfer needs all the power it can- Jolly Head Smash has an almost always 2HKOes Skarmory, which can Roost and stall out Stone Edge.

A typo here.

In Sneasel's Anti-Lead set, third paragraph, I noticed a missing word.

Not players will see Counter coming, and simply Fake Out with Ambipom, which will result in an instant KO with Counter.

I think it was meant to say "Not many players."

The Anger Management set does not have an ability listed. It should be Anger Point.

first sentence of the second paragraph

Thunderbolt is mainly for Gyarados, whom Starmie can handle to an extent.

[waterwizard]

the Opinion paragraph for the GSC review of Moltres (http://www.smogon.com/gs/pokemon/moltres) is written very poorly. It has two syntax errors ("it's" and "2") and contains irrelevant/unhelpful information. The author also used first person.

wish support, second paragraph

The other moves on this set allow Jirachi to provide even more support while beating certain threats. Body Slam is an awesome move on Jirachi, dealing some damage with a 60% chance of paralyzing anything but Ghost-types. This is especially annoying if you paralyze a Ground-type like Mamoswine or Flygon, whom normally don't have to worry about losing their Speed.

should be who because mamoswine and flygon don't have to worry

[Fuzznip]

Fixed Dan's post. Thank you.

rain dance second paragraph

Wish and Thunder are the obvious extra moves on this set. Wish allows Jirachi to support the entire team and possibly even fake a non-Rain set if you're interested in mind games. Thunder OHKOes Skarmory and has a 60% chance (in rain) of paralyzing anything.

[Ferrouswheel]

The fourth paragraph of the Giratina "Great Wall" Set reads:

Instead of using Impish and Dragon Claw, one might choose to use Bold and Dragon Pulse. Dragon Pulse has a slight chance of 3HKOing opposing Giratina and will always break Groudon's Substitutes, in case one tries to Substitute to block Will-O-Wisp. Outrage gives Giratina extra power and does not lock Giratina into a single attack.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Outrage does in fact lock Giratina into a single attack. It should be Dragon Claw being mentioned as the not locking into a single attack, and Outrage for the extra power. Not Outrage accomplishing both.

[Umbreon Dan]

that's probably trying to say that outrage won't lock you into a single attack if sleep talk selects it while you're asleep. i agree it's not really worded properly to convey that message though

Fixed.

In Steelix's analysis, there is some sort of HTML error, because the "Counters" heading is in the regular font.

With STAB Earthquake and a powerful Explosion at its side, one should not underestimate a well-placed Steelix on a team.Counters

Either that has been fixed in the last 2 minutes, or it might be just you, I don't see it.

When I checked this I didn't see any problem with the Counters section. However, it did have a small HTML tag error which might've caused that to happen in some browsers. It's been fixed now.
