You can't trade TMs nor send items from Gen IV to Gen V. However, recovery items, hold items, and all those can be traded.

Really? I thought no items whatsoever could be traded from Gen 4 to Gen 5, which is why people say that the Soul Dew is unobtainable in B/W.

Is there a place for Event Draco-Meteor Jirachi in Gen V competitively? I need to free up a wonder card slot for Raikou and only started doing research on Jirachi.

That's what I said... D:
>No items or TMs.

I think because you said before that recovery items and hold items can be traded, which probably caused some confusion? Either way, isnt just no items period can be traded from gen IV to gen V?

Yeah, it was the second sentence in KokoaKiwi's post that confused me (Soul Dew is considered a hold item).

does unburden still work if you switch out after item use? (berry, escape button etc..)

No.

 

[malcolmpc]

Why can't i use my swift swim qwilfish and seaking along with the drizzle?

 

[UnhandledException]

Because the combination of Drizzle and Swift Swim on the same team is currently banned.

This is more C&C related, but if an analysis that is taken over has already been QC approved, does it need to be QC approved again if a new set is added? Or can it move on to the GP checking stage after it has been written up?

 

[RawkHawk2010]

Does Solid Rock make super-effective moves do x1 damage or 1.5x? I'm getting varying answers.

Not sure what recovery items and hold items you're referring to. No items of any kind can be traded.

Smogon's dex says "
Whenever a move is used on this Pokémon that is super effective, the damage is decreased by 1/4."


2*3/4=1.5


4*3/4=3

Yes it needs, it was that way on Gen IV, but for Gen V analysis it looks kinda of a waste to make a new thread just to add a new set, my idea is to edit it your Post, and contact a QC Member to test it and aprove it as well.

Is there a place for Event Draco-Meteor Jirachi in Gen V competitively? I need to free up a wonder card slot for Raikou and only started doing research on Jirachi.

IIRC on DM Jirachi thread, a non-dragon stab move hit with 20% more power a dragon type poke, than one of the Stab attacks.
Which would be good but DM lowers your Special Atk after use thus making it much more undesireable as a move choice. Just stick with the standards sets.

 

[neato]

If gravity is used, can a pokemon use free fall to attack in 1 on 1 battles?

 

[IronGross]

Should Metagross use Zen Headbutt? Also, what Metagross sets are effective in Ubers?

 

[TorchicBlaziken]

What special wall can I use that's not Jellicent on this team? (http://pokemon-online.eu/forums/sho...-As-You-Probably-Know-I-Like-Blaziken&p=25429)

Because I don't like Jellicent. Would a Vaporeon go good on it? If not, what Pokémon would?

Also, will Soul Dew be an Uber item? I am wondering because I do not want to SR a non-Hidden Power Fire Latios only for me to need a Hidden Power Fire Latios when Soul Dew is released.

 

[voodoo pimp]

Should Metagross use Zen Headbutt? Also, what Metagross sets are effective in Ubers?

This has been asked before, but Zen Headbutt gives poor coverage, especially in Ubers. You're probably better off with an elemental punch (for Ubers, probably Ice Punch).

Also, will Soul Dew be an Uber item? I am wondering because I do not want to SR a non-Hidden Power Fire Latios only for me to need a Hidden Power Fire Latios when Soul Dew is released.

It's hard to say until it's released, but considering how much people are bitching about Specs Latios, I don't see how it's going to stay in OU with more SpDef and the ability to switch moves. So, most likely Uber.

Only because ALL of the research into the Dream World seems to constitute the Abilities and if you can breed them, I've been left wondering; the Dream-World only attacks(the ones pokemon could learn in previous gens, but now can't due to lack of move-tutor or TM), are those breedable egg-moves?
It appears to me that they typically appear on the male dream-world pokemon, and the men are the ones who pass down egg-moves, and since the females can pass down the abilities, I felt I should ask, since I haven't seen anyone else mention it at all.

So what should I use insted on LeadGross? Isn't Zen HEadbutt useful against lead Machamp?

No you can only breed the Gen 5 egg moves with DW abilitys.

 

[petrie911]

As we all know, Sturdy now acts like a built-in Focus Sash. But does it still make the user completely immune to OHKO moves?

 

[TorchicBlaziken]

No. It works like a Focus Sash on OHKO moves.

 

[Infergnome]

Would anyone be able to trade me a random Zorua or Zoroark to pass the game wiht (pref 20-30 but whatever is fine :) ) I have my own shiny raikou but im unable to transfer it because of the region lock, and i really want a Zoroark for my first run of the game :D
