I've been searching for this answer and I can't seem to fine it so I thought I would ask it here. I've noticed there has been a lot of discussion about Uber Pokemon and what should be OU and the term over centralization has been used a lot. Have Smogon administrators assigned a statistical definition to when a Pokemon over centralizes the metagame or is this just an arbitrary assessment?
 
Is there a EV checking code? I'm not sure if there is, but it'd be helpful to have. If there is, can someone please post it?
 
@tennisisawesome:
148 SpA/224 HP/138 Def
Special Attack guarantees a 2HKO on 252/56 Careful Altaria@Lefties with HP Ice, HP ensures max Lefties (yes, with 30 HP IV), and the rest of the EV's go into Defense to ensure maximum physical walling ability... unless you want them to go to special defense for walling on both sides, or speed to outspeed the random no-speed base 30's.
EDIT: Screw the spreads in the analysis. Hehe, you'll probably want to use this explanation as your selling point. =P

@JoeBobbyWii:
Just use one of the spreads for Modest, but put some EV's into SDef so you can get that bonus point. Keep HP divisible by 16 for max Lefties.
 
@ Caelum: I believe that when a Pokemon enters the metagame (example unbanning of Wobbuffet) if the pool of useable OU Pokemon is noticeably reduced (eg. from 47 to 40) that is what is termed "centralization" by smogon.

Question: what is the "synchronize speed" trick mentioned earlier in this topic?
Get a Pokemon with Synchronize (Timid, usually) with a Speed stat (not IV, but raw stat) of one less than a +Nature 31 IV variation of the legend you are trying to SR. On the first turn, attack/status/whatever to see if you go last. If you do, then you know that the legend has a 30/31 Speed IV and a +Nature.
 
when I'm trading and i send an invite and they accept, why does it not work. When they send the invite and i accept, it does work. What do you do when they accept your invite?

What counters Breloom. As in stops it dead, assuming worse situation (No sleep clause used yet, Sub up, +4 attack) yadda yadda yadda...

EDIT: Don't say Cress: I've got a role for Cress already.
 
Hmmmm,im new here,and heres my question:

Do the power items multiply the evs gained by 5 or 4?Some of my friends say 5,the others say 4!Thanks in advance!:)

Weezing...? Mine has HP Ice, so...

@ Shringator: Its not multiplied, it's +4.

So basicly,it becomes 1+4=5?My friends are stupid!That saves alot of Ev training time !!!Thanks!:)

Btw,a friend of mine said you can gain only 4 ev stats of Hm,attack... in one level?I doubt its true?

You can gain up to 64 and what the pokemon will gain it self. For that to happen the pokemon needs to be lv 99.

(EV's X 2) + (power item{4} X 2) = how many EV's your pokemon gets.
If you do not have Pokerus remove the x 2 part.
