I was wondering...

when are tornadus/thundurus ivs determined??
are they set after yo activate their event or each time you fight them they reset??
 
Are there any 5th generation Pokémon that have at least a few of the following moves: Trick, Flash/Flash clone, Memento, Thunder Wave/Yawn (whichever is better for incapacitating but not killing a Pokémon)?
Trick is only available to Cottonee (as Switcheroo, by egg move). Flash is on a lot of things. Memento is only on Litwick by levelup and Cottonee/Yamask/Zorua by breeding. Thunder Wave is not available to any of the Memento mons (although Cottonee learns Stun Spore). I do not believe Yawn is available to any of them either. Unfortunately, it also appears Memento and Switcheroo are not compatible on Cottonee. So I guess, pick which are most important for you, it doesn't seem you can get all 4.

(I'm assuming "5th generation" means only the things introduced in this gen -- Latios and Uxie notably from previous gens get all 4)

When you activate the event. Pretty much the norm for roamers, since whenever.

Latios gets Yawn?

EDIT: Oh nevermind, I see what you meant

Also, what's a good set for a Double-battle Telepathy Musharna? I'm thinking Rest/Imprison/Protect/Psychic with Chesto berry, but idk the EV's/nature (Probably Relaxed or Bold)
 
RNG Question:

Started RNG'ing on Black today, and i've been getting good results, but one thing still bugs me: Is there any way to know where i have to save to get a specific species?

For example, i save in the entrance to Victory Road, Opelucid Side. I follow the process the RNG Reporter tells me, and i always get Durants, level 37. I do this after saving in another spot, i always get Boldores, level 39. I can change the nature and ability combination, i know, but the pokemon species seems constant, and when i'm trying to catch a Mienfoo, that isn't really ideal.

So, is there a way to guarantee that Sweet Scent will bring me the species i want, or am i missing something entirely?
 
I know that this isn't the right thread and i already posted at the thread itself, but this one has a lot of views so this might be a good place to ask:

Could this be a good lead set for skarmory?

Skarmory @ lefovers/shed shell
Ability: Sturdy
Nature: Impish
Ev's: 252 Hp/252 SpDef/4 Def
- Brave Bird
- Spikes
- Roost
- Whirlwind
 
Hello Smogon, my first post is a question, sorry if it's a little rude...

But how can I make my Ferroseed/thorn learn both Leech Seed and Stealth Rock ?
Is there another way beside making it breed with a previous gen' Grotle who has learned Leech Seed and TM76 Stealth Rock ?

Breed with Torterra for Leech Seed/ SR. Breed with Cacturne for Leech Seed/ Spikes. Those are the only ways to get those move combos, I think
 
Does Heat Crash receive STAB bonus? Or is it a fixed number..
I think it get's stab

Hey guys,

Just wondering what is the easiest way to get a Pawniard with Sucker Punch? I traded over a Croagunk and tried to breed it but it said the two didn't really like each other. Do I need to have them both evolved? I also have a Cacturne with Sucker Punch but no Spinda.

Can anyone offer some insight?

I can't think of why you couldn't breed Toxicroak with Pawniard except for them both being the same gender. Like you said, Pawniard gets Sucker Punch as an egg move from Toxicroak, Cacturne, or Spinda, so if for some odd reason you can't get Toxicroak to breed with Pawniard, just use Cacturne
 
That the 2 didn't like eachother only means that you'll get eggs in a slower rate (30 % per 250 steps). the only case when the pokemon don't produce eggs is when the day car man sais: "The 2 like more to play with other pokemon that with eachother.

I don't see anything wrong with this set, some people prefer options to brave bird though. Taunt it a decent one, it stops one from setting up on skarmory, stealth rocks is also an option, as one stealth rocks normally, is equal to 2 spikes, so if you only get the chance to set up one you got stealth rocks. Other options include a purely physically defensive set, which I find to be better as thats Skarmory's main job, but specially defensive gets a few annoying 3HKOS. The only other comment I see is the last 4 evs, some people prefer to add them to speed, to speed creep, but its not all that important. Its a good set though, there is nothing fudamentally wrong with it.
 
Does it ever happen to you, that you disconnect from PO, try to go back online, and then there is a message saying: There is already a user with the name *insert your name here* online?

Is there anything I can do to solve it?

Just wait a little, you can log on again after ~10 minutes.

Thanks for the comment. I chose brave bird over taun to have an attacking move, but no-attack can be good too. Or i can drop wihrwind for taunt.

I think i'll test both sets: impish with 252 HP/252 Def/4 Spd and Impish with 252 HP/252 SpDef/252 Spd
 
Are there any battle modes for PvP that adjust levels, so that you don't have to level your competitive pokemon all the way to level 100? I know IR adjusts all pokemon to level 50, are there any other modes?
 
Is the black/white pokésav actually a trojan virus like my antivirus is telling me?

I've tried downloading it off a few websites, and each time it's the same, so i'm wondering if it's like a keygen - recognised as a virus when it isn't...

Probably shouldn't be asking this question - but if it is a virus and people see me asking and don't download it, then I'm not really fussed whether I should ask or not

You shouldn't be asking this. I don't think it has a virus, but keep in mind that the original creators of Pokésav are no longer in charge of generation 5 Sav so who knows how good or bad it can or will be

Also I really need an answer for this still:

I'm trying to figure out if there's a single location that you could legitimately get any Pokémon from. As in: If you're using a team of legendary and non-legendary Pokémon, would it be possible for all of them to legitimately have the same location?

You could get any Pokémon before generation 5 to have the location Pokétransfer right? Also, when you do a Pokétransfer, what Pokéball does it take? Answered
