Hey, you know how a wild Chansey might have a lucky egg?

Well, if you breed Chanseys, is there a chance they might have one too?

No, pokemon can never hold an item while hatching? lol Where would they have gotten it from?

 

[stingray_spin]

Lol, thanks mate. No idea where it would come from :D .

In the EVs section, why does it say to have a slight bias towards Defense? If anything, wouldn't it be better to have a slight bias towards Special Defense, so Porygon2/Porygon-Z aren't as powerful?

The Wi-Fi forum would be a good place to start.

There's none as effective as Steel/Dragon tbh, but there's a few combinations that have things going for them in theory at least.

Grass/Rock is an interesting one as they cover each others weaknesses quite well (Grass resists Water and Ground whilst Rock resists Fire, Flying and Poison) and offensively, Rock hits super effective against all the types that hit Grass hard other than Poison (Fire, Bug, Flying, Ice). Scizor hurts you though.

Poison/Dark is quite good defensively too...(Poison resists Fighting and Bug whereas Dark takes Psychic attacks). The Ground weakness can be covered by Levitaters and Flying types I guess.

Just have a long hard think about it, there's plenty of combos out there. Just don't expect to find one as good as Steel/Dragon.

Thank you. Steel/Dragon is just too "standard" for me. :P

Expert Evan has a great one if you don't have one yet.

Is there a VGC guide?

 

[Disposable Puppets]

I've heard of Pokemon reappearing after you beat them or fail to catch them.

I know Heatran does it.
I know Giratina does it.
I know Cresselia does it.
I know Mesprit does it.
I know Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres do it.
I know Rotom does it.

Do Dialga, Palkia, Azelf, Uxie and Regigigas reappear as well or is it just limited to those listed above?

No, but checking here will help you greatly.

Hey guys, once you've maxed out your EVs, you can just use rare candies to level up (instead of battling), right? And it won't make a difference?

(I'm 99% sure, just want to make certain)

Gastrodon has very good Special Defenses, and decent Defenses. You can't always expect Gastrodon to take Special hits only, so prepare for the worst, and give it a bit more in Defense, to even out the scales. With those EVs, it can be a tough Physical Wall as well.

But if you're worried about Special Defense, might I suggest the Curse set, or the Stockpile set? Both set up reasonably well.

Correct. Once you max out EVs, it doesn't matter how you level up, it won't make a difference.

Thanks mate.

 

[Asylum Evermore]

If want to ask if someone will check my Secret ID, Simple Questions/Simple Requests in the Wi_Fi thread is the right place, correct? I've asked once or twice for several days and no one has responded- I want to be sure it's not because I'm off topic...

 

[frogoholic101]

Does anybody know of an updated defensive articuno spread?

 

[Phadunk]

Say I'm using Pokesav to make a Munchlax. I build it all legit, etc.. wanting it to later on evolve into a Snorlax with my tender love and care (w.e.)

If I put the happiness at 0, will it normally reach the 100 mark to finally evolve? Or will it stay at 0 since that is what I Pokesav'd it as.


I ask because a few playthroughs ago I did that, Munchlax at 0, and I got it to level 34 and it never evolved, massages, no faints, wins, care, etc..


So.. anyone know?

Is this the simple question simple answer thread? coz I have a quick question.

Is Monaco a country or a capital city?

[Senzairu]

Um... I'm looking around the site but I can't find anything. Can someone tell me where I can find information for Shoddybattle about rankings/ratings, and this "leaderboard" (even though I don't know exactly what that is yet).

I'm just curious as to what this stuff is all about. Can anyone help me?

Does Reflect/ Light Screen count the turn you use it. Do I get 4 turns after using it or 5 ?

I believe 5, not counting the turn it was used, 8 with light clay.

 

[RegalStar]

It does count the turn it's used. It's still five though since if you're faster whatever screen you use will work for the screener, but you only get four turns after that turn.
