Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

Ice-type Attacks deal Neutral Damage to Fire-types in Gen I, so it is definitely not a glitch. Remember the type-chart in Gen I is different to the other gens.
I thought in Gen I, there is a glitch, that makes the message "It´s super/not very effective" very often false.
If both, the first and the second typing doens´t get neutral damage from an attack (but got any damage), the last typing set the message you will see.
Razor Leaf on Gyarados = Not very effective
Blizzard on Charizard = Super effective
Bot in both examples the damage is neutral.
*facepalm*
Thanks, I totally forgot about that differences.
btw, anyone? :x
Me and my friend were battling on stadium 2 and when I was fighting his forretress with my Feraligatr my earthquake and rock smash were not super effective. What gives?
Forretress is Bug/Steel type so when it is hit by Earthquake,the super effective from steel and the not very effective from bug combine to normal effectiveness.When it is hit by Rock Smash,the super effective from fighting and the not very effective from bug combine and here also,normal damage is the result.Hope I helped.
I actually cannot find anything for this particular question :| There seems to be scant information at all about the abilities in PMD.
EDIT: YES FOUND SOMETHING
- If the attacker has Technician and the attack used is not the regular attack or a throwing item and the attack’s power (not modified by stat stages and stat multipliers) is 4 or less, the Damage is multiplied by 1.5.
As far as I am aware with a Global release, it should become available at midnight across each time zone. I guess this means Australia/Japan get it approximately 10 hours before Europe and and 16 before America... When Steam does Global Releases it ALWAYS goes via American time (As in, it does not release in Europe until 6~9am etc. I don't know what Nintendo's policies are like when it comes to this sort of thing.
Here's the situation: I want a starter Pokemon (in HGSS) with good IVs (because I find it fun to indulge my sentimentality in-game), but I don't have an Action Replay to wizard up the rare candies needed to verify. I could...
- Buy an Action Replay, but...I'd like to start my game soon, and I don't know where to buy one. Could I find one at a major retail store like Walmart?
- Trade for a better one, but...I will cut you if you touch my Totodile. >:/ The role-playing/virtual pet elements of the game do actually matter to me when playing game card/cartridge.
- Continually level grind, calculate, restart, repeat, but...please, God, no.
- Something else???
-Cry more over my Pokemanz.
wat do.

Walmart sells Action Replay devices.
We do not recommend you to use Action Replay if you actually care for role playing. HGSS gives you the tools for verifying your Pokemons' IVs - via WiFi battle. In a WiFi battle every Pokemon will be scaled to Lv 100 temporarily. Alternately, use Pokécheck.
Also, should you care for good IVs, you'll definitely want to learn RNG prediction. Here is the special case for the starters (it is not recommended perform it on the Jotho starters, but it is nonetheless possible if you are patient and/or skilled). For questions about RNG abuse, ask them in that thread.
Thank you very much. I did end up buying an Action Replay yesterday.
Though I do want to enjoy Pokemon as an RPG, doing so is naturally going to involve a balancing act of what I feel will harm that goal more. For instance, repeatedly soft resetting can be tedious enough on its own, but progressing far enough in the game to unlock Wi-Fi battles just to restart every time my starter's IVs are not as desired would surely take me out of the experience completely - and take a prohibitive amount of time, at that. Since the Pokemon that I'm concerned with here is my starter, Totodile, Wi-Fi battling is not a particularly viable method of discovering its IVs.
I'd only be using rare candies to expedite the process - to immediately verify statistics that I would later be able to verify at any time (and personally, I would have preferred that EVs and IVs were public statistics to begin with). I mean to save before using them and level-up normally.
I will absolutely look into RNG manipulation, though.

Snorlax: Lv 43 - Refresh, Fissure, Curse, Body Slam
Chansey: Lv 39 - Sweet Kiss, Thunderbolt, Softboiled, Skill Swap
Hope that helps :D
Cool, and the XD Snorlax is male right? so it can learn both curse and self-destruct?
I actually think Shadows follow the same rules of gender as wilds do... As in it is 87.5% male, 12.5% female. It's not guaranteed either way.
Well that's good news then, thanks!
