He rested on the switch.But Mewtwo outsped it...
Unless Mewtwo had Scarf to outspeed Deoxys. Which is possible, but highly doubtful imo.
I think the point of rest was to show that it's OHKOed by a HP dark. Rest will always show that Barkers has full HP. It might have full hp when it used rest.No, none of those are OHKO'd. However, I suspect that Abra, Kadabra and Haunter may be OHKO'd and they fit into the correct speed tier.
Also, on MoP's logic that it would have to say "The attack missed" (and he's completely right), shouldn't it also have to say "Barkers went to sleep and regained his health?" It doesn't tell us that Rest was successful...probably just clutching at straws here though, I just can't think of anything that meets the criteria and is OHKO'd by a HP Dark from around 344ish SpA.
It could be Overheat, It could be Low Kick, It could be Grass Knot.What move is Barkers using ("something" is the same move each time)?
if it had insomnia, it still says "whatever stayed awake using its Insomnia!" or something to that effect. I don't think it means anything in particular, unless insomnia pokemon using rest in d/p doesn't give any message (got a rest insomnia shuppet in adv challenge cup .__.)The only way Life Orb Kadabra is wrong is if that lack of a rest message means something...is there any case where rest will not display a relevant message afterwards?
That's irrelevant because both parts are the same scenario where barkers is the same pokemon. The second part was added to help determine what pokemon barkers actually is but it doesn't mean I can't use that information to work out what move barkers is using. There's nothing that says I have to restrict myself to the first part of the scenario to work out the move it's using.But in the first (and actual) question, it doesn't say that Barkers is weak to Dark, leaving us with a lot more possibilities such as the aforementioned Overheat Primeape.
Does specs Primeape -6 spa 2ko a sub if the final one is in the rain? I think people have missed that all together....I'll start with a simple scenario. In this problem, assume all IVs are 31, all natures are neutral, and all EVs are 0. "Barkers" is an unknown Pokemon.
Begin turn 1.
Salamence's Intimidate cut Barkers's Attack.
Trainer withdrew Salamence and sent out Raikou.
Barkers used something.
Begin turn 2.
Raikou used Calm Mind.
Barkers used something. A critical hit. Raikou fainted.
Trainer sent out Pikachu.
Begin turn 3.
Barkers used something.
Pikachu used Substitute.
Begin turn 4.
Barkers used something.
Pikachu used Rain Dance.
Begin turn 5.
Barkers used something. Pikachu's Substitute faded.
The question is: What move is Barkers using ("something" is the same move each time)? As an added challenge, Barkers can be one of two Pokemon. From the following scenario, which one is it?
Begin turn 23.
Player switched in Barkers.
Trainer switched in Pikachu.
Rain continues to fall.
Begin turn 24.
Trainer switched in Mewtwo.
Barkers used Rest.
Rain continues to fall.
Begin turn 25.
Mewtwo used Hidden Power. It's super effective! Barkers fainted.
The rain stopped.
Note: I somewhat gave away the answer on Shoddy, so if I was talking to you on Shoddy earlier, don't give away the answer.
Done already.As for the second one, Make a list of everything weak to dark that has a speed between Raikou's and Pikachus; and we've narrowed down the list
You seem close but I would say an Espeon using Grass Knot as it still wouldn't break the sub of Pikachu and it falls inside the right speed bracket. That or a Lati as Salamence ran.I believe the pokemon in question (Since you said it could be one of two) are Deoxys Normal form and Deoxys Attack form.
The move being used in the first example is Grass Knot. Grass Knot from either Deoxys 3HKOs Raikou. Since Raikou took the first hit coming in, the second killed it because of the critical. It also 4HKOs Pikachu.
Grass Knot from Deoxys normal does 31.78- 37.69% to 31 IV/ 0 EV Raikou
Grass knot from Deoxys Attack does 37.03- 43.93% to same Raikou, a 3HKO for both.
Grass Knot from Normal Deoxys on a 31 IV/ 0 EV Pikachu: 19.91- 23.7%; No sub breaking here...
Grass Knot from Attack Deoxys: 23.7- 27.96%; Still fails to break a sub assuming minimal damage.
Both forms learn Rest, even though no one uses it, and both get OHKOed by Mewtwo's HP Dark 70.
However, this is only the answer if Raikou is carrying a scarf to outspeed to do a CM, otherwise I'm wrong.
