Just to verify, if a Magic Guard Pokémon is hit with Leech Seed, does the Leech Seed user recover HP while the Magic Guard Pokémon takes no damage?

No, tested this in game when catching Solosis. The Leech Seed user will not recover HP if the target has Magic Guard

 

[PkMARIO]

If Kecleon is hit with Inferno what happens first, is it burned then turns into a Fire type or turns into a Fire type and avoids burn?

 

[WoOoShoOo!!]

A Fire type can be burned. When you use Fire Blast on Blaziken, it can still be burned. At least that's what I know.

 

[Zacchaeus]

A Fire type can be burned. When you use Fire Blast on Blaziken, it can still be burned. At least that's what I know.

Well you know wrong because it is impossible to burn a Fire-type Pokémon without temporarily removing their Fire typing

 

[WoOoShoOo!!]

And so Flame Body Heatran can't be burned? Even with Inferno? And how about Fire-types that use physical attacks, will they activate Flame Body? And will Electric-type pokemon activate Static?

Yes, Flame Body Heatran can't be burned, even with Inferno, and Fire types can't activate Flame Body.

Electric pokemon do activate Static.

 

[Princess Bubblegum]

No man, its very very simple, fire types can't be burned, ever. Its just like how poison types can't be poisoned, ever.

 

[WoOoShoOo!!]

Lol. Good point. Lol. Fight fire with fire. They are already flamin, and yet I plan to burn them. Wtf. How stupid of me.

 

[Princess Bubblegum]

Sorry to be rude, but thats really the only way I could get the point across.

 

[AuraSphere]

A Fire type can be burned. When you use Fire Blast on Blaziken, it can still be burned. At least that's what I know.

After using Soak it can be burned.

 

[RevolverKnight]

After using Soak it can be burned.

Or with Scald

 

[Romeert]

Scald doesn't cause burns on Fire types. You have to change the type of the defending Pokemon, not the move.

From Bulbapedia:

Fire-type Pokémon are, for the most part, immune to being burned, although if their type is changed through a move like Soak, and is then burned and switched out to return the type to Fire, the burn status will remain.

What's a good replacement for Jellicent on a stall team? I'm going to use a different bulky water... Are spinblockers still needed?

 

[Molk]

What's a good replacement for Jellicent on a stall team? I'm going to use a different bulky water... Are spinblockers still needed?

1) vaporeon makes a good replacement for jellicent if you want wish support

2) i would say spinblockers are pretty much needed on a stall team, if you need a spinblocker try eviolite dusclops

 

[Princess Bubblegum]

With starmie and forretress the most common rapid spinners, are only found about 10% of teams, and in total all rapid spinners might be on less than 20% of all teams. So its reasonable not to use a spin blocker.

For a bulky water, Slowbro or Gastrodon do the job, depending on what you need.

 

[Benny in a Jet]

But due to stall teams relying mostly on entry hazards, it's imperative to have one for when you face the teams that due have RS.

 

[dSapper]

How much does a Jolly max attack LO dugtrio do to a 252 hp ttar with earthquake? I'd calc it myself but i'm on my phone.

 

[Benny in a Jet]

Assuming it's neutral Def nature with no investment it's 70.54 - 82.43%.

 

[dSapper]

Thanks :)

 

[winnkey]

i have a fairly basic question. if i have six stages of special attack that equals times 4 boost to special attack but then if im using fire move under sunny day that boosts by 50% so does that make my attack 4.5 times stronger? just trying to figure out how the two things stack

 

[Stratos]

no, it would make it six times stronger. Same with if you were using choice specs.

 

[frogoholic101]

What is a good replacement for body slam on Jirachi that isn't thunderwave?

 

[Princess Bubblegum]

Is this specially defensive? Well then, depending on what moves you already have, then fire punch, stealth rocks, or protect.

 

[Drifloon]

Should I run substitute or Hidden Power[Ice] on Virizion?
