Xilaa - Cresselia's nature is set when you talk to it on the island. To soft reset for nature save right before walking up and talking to it.

Are 31 stat IV's passed down to a random stat or the same stat, are they always passed?

speedwobbles225 - This is how IVs are passed from parents while breeding in Emerald and D/P:

Breeding Guide said:
SUMMARY: Emerald, Diamond and Pearl
1. The baby’s IVs are created at random.
2. Then a random IV is passed from one of the parents to the baby. The previous IV is overwritten.
3. Another random IV from Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed is passed from one of the parents to the baby. The previous IV is overwritten.
4. Finally, another random IV from Attack, Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed is passed from one of the parents to the baby. The previous IV is overwritten.

From the Breeding Guide again: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20653

So 31 IVs that a parent has have a chance of passing to the same stat on the baby. They are not always passed.
 
I read a guide to GTS cloning where the guy said he had gotten a few emails from people saying their games were erased, so I was just checking. I guess I'm free to start practicing now.
I just read that as well, and was kind of put off by it. I haven't heard of anyone on here losing their game because of it, but I still don't know.

Aerodactyl wants max Speed AND Attack. It's easy to pass those.
 
Dude im screwed. Im breeding for rock head aerodactyles and then gonna transfer over to teach double edge. Im only gonna know one stat, I need speed and attack :[


Its gonna be tough, thanks for the guide
You can just keep asking him. If multiple stats are tied for the highest it's chosen at random which one he tells you each time.

Lol wtf. I just tried the cloning glitch for the first time, and the game kind of auto-cloned for me. I was putting my poke up, and I lost the connection, I guess right at the perfect time, then when I went back in the Pokemon was cloned.
Didn't get the blue screen though.
 
I have an aerodactyle with 31 iv's in defense, If i make that my new parent is there a chance that 31 will pass to attack or speed? Or will it go straight to defense? Will that 31 pass to a baby every time?

No. It only has a chance of going to Def. That doesn't guarantee it will though. To pass a 31 in attack or speed, the parent has to have the respective IVs.
 
How does Psycho Shift work with the Sleep Clause? If I somehow had a pokemon that was asleep use Psycho Shift, would it allow me to put a second pokemon to sleep, or would it fail?
 
is there a tool of somekind that if you enter like a few types of attacks it will tell all the pokemon that resist all those attacks?

I'm pretty sure that the sleeping poke would just sleep, and if it woke up, it wouldn't have a condition to give to the opponent.

I don't have a clue what would happen if the sleeping poke used sleep talk and it chose psycho shift, I presume it would transfer the sleep, but I don't know how that would interact with Sleep Clause.
 
This is probably a topic that could have its own thread, but I do not have enough knowledge on the subject to create it.

Gender based teams - Can they work?

This is like teams based around abilities like rivalry, attract, captivate etc. I'm not sure how many gender based attacks and abilities there are (Ihaven't really looked into this much), so I would like to see if someone with more extensive knowledge could answer telling me whether this would be a viable idea, and if it is, start a thread about it.
 
Is Dragonite better than Salamence?
Is an apple better than an orange?

I personally think that the 50% waste of a moveslot wouldn't be worth it. No one uses stuff like Confuse Ray because switching out alleviates the condition. The same thing happens with Attract, too. Charm is rare, so Captivate would be even more rarely used.

On Shoddy, the move would fail. On WiFi, doing it would net you an automatic loss. Seriously, this isn't that complicated. At all.

Grand, thanks for answering that.
This is the simple question, simple answer thread for questions like these. So there is no need for you to point out that this isn't complicated. These aren't supposed to be complicated questions.
 
My question wasn´t answered so I ask again

Could you pls call me the name off some Hackchecker ??

There arent' any hack checkers on smogon that do it publicly anymore. You are better off using common sense when trading or using pAC for checking legendaries and chained/wild shinies.
