When you migrate a meowth with swift and then you evolve it, does its ability become technician all the time?

If you mean from GBA games to DP then no it doesn't always change. Persian has 2 abilities (limber and technician) so it can get either one.

Can someone please tell me where to find a good damage calculator?

Metalkid's like the other guy said but I have heard that it's not 100% accurate. His IV calc is pretty much perfect tough.

I was just playing over Wifi using a Lopunny with Iron Ball and Klutz. It is Jolly, 334 speed.
My opponent is using a Toxicroak (unknown nature), which caps at 295 speed* edit: he has Leftovers attached, even though Sub + Stone edge should tip you off that he's not Scarfing. He gets off Stone Edges and Substitutes on my before I can attack.

Does Iron Ball override Klutz or is my opponent a mean cheatar?

Pretty sure that iron ball doesn't overrides klutz, I even remember people using iron ball for the combo switcheroo/klutz but I could be mistaken.

Klutz overrides Iron Ball, so Lopunny should go faster. Unless Toxi's Scarfed, if your numbers are true, then it should not attack first.

Toxicroak, as per my explanation of the situation, is using both Substitute, Stone Edge, is recovering life each turn via Leftovers and does not get the "ZOMG I AM SO FAST" animation of Quick Claw.
Thanks for your help.

Unless you keep migrating clones of the same Meowth.

I meant that a meowth from the GBA could get either ability upon evolving in DP but not the same Meowth.
I should have clarified that, the same pokemon will not get the ability randomly in DP it will always get the same one. The only way to get the same persian to have both abilities is to have a meowth that gets technician on DP and make one clone evolve in a GBA game and the other in DP.
 
I just did an experiment with Lopunny.
I cloned the Lopunny and gave it a Tomato Berry and removed any item it was holding.
I traded a clone with the reduced speed to my friend.
I battled 1v1 using the Lopunny with Iron Ball attached and Klutz vs. the -155 speed EVs Lopunny with no item.

The -155 speed Lopunny attacked me first. If someone wants to try this again with me, that's cool, but I think there's something wrong with Klutz.
 
You might want to post that in the Research thread, Kijin, as that's where you'll be most likely to find an explanation. I'm afraid I'm stumped.
 
Hi, can anyone suggest a UU counter for Rapid Spin? I'm trying to make a residual damage team (sandstorm + stealth rock), so preferably something that is not hit by sandstorm, or has enough HP to not be greatly affected by it. Thanks ^^
 
when making a physical nape which is better (in terms of how many pokes can it kill) thunder punch or stone edge. Tpunch can hurt bulky waters switching in but Stone edge destroys the dragons other than chomp.

nvm im just gonna breed with tpunch then test it out :P
 
what does guard swap do? from serebii, my understanding is that my defense becomes my opponents defense and vice versa. same with spc defense. that seems a little too good to be true. am i correct? is there any time limit to this? what happens if my opponent switches out?
 
No.

That's because Counter works on how much HP you lose, and then returns double the ammount of damage towards their HP. However, because you lost no HP during their attack, you don't return any damage to them.
 
My meowth got limber when I let it evolve in DP. I have a clone of the same meowth in my emerald. So if I migrate that same meowth will it still have limber when it evolves or technician?
 
three questions:

1. seeing as the smogon analysis of Deoxys-S is still the Uber one, what speed does Deoxys-S run in OU?

2. What is the EVspread of the popular Timid Scarfgar?

3. I have an idea for a new moveset, and posted it in the new moveset thread. It came out very well, and I wanted to make a peer edit about it. Is this possible?

Also,
How do Slaking and Hyper beam/HB like moves interact with each other?
Click to expand...
Traunt and the recharge effect go on the same turn, so you can attack the next turn. However, you will still be unable to switch out.

1. I personally run +Speed nature with enough to outspeed Scarfchomp, but you might find it better to outspeed Scarfcross or just the base 130's.

2. Just make a new post.

I thought it was against the rules to post new sets in the Peer edit section, so I wanted to check. Also, thanks for the answer.
 
Serebii says that Flower Gift raises the SpAtk and Atk of the ally, but the smogon analysis says that it raises Att and SpDef, so which one is it?
