1) I want to use the second set on smogon with Garchomp. Which move should I replace for Sandstorm?

2) Which is better Lax Incense, or brightpowder?
 
Is there any viability in a max Speed Jolly Heracross? I know Miltonic's Heracross is EVed that way, and I'm wondering if it's worth it to re-EV it to a lower speed. Any answers would be appreciated. =)
 
What are the chances of getting a flawless pokemon if it is being bred with 2 flawless parents?

The chances of you finding flawless parents alone is slim, but breeding them? It'd still take you weeks, maybe even months to do.

My question: does a steadfast tyrogue evolve into a technician hitmontop?
 
@shadowbulba, if you want to use Sandstorm on Garchomp, have it replace Fire Fang. Garchomp has great STAB in Dragon and Ground, making it unwise to get rid of one of them.

@Frokko, having your HP IV as 29 reduces the amount of Life Orb recoil by one.
 
But why is 29 the magic number on Life Orb hp Iv's?
I don't get it, because... pokes have different base Hp and so.
 
@TheChuff, you mean Pokemon have two types that are both weak to Water, correct? In that case according to the Tier List, no, there aren't.

@Frokko, Correct.

EDIT: Let's say I have two Pokemon, one who has a total of 300 Hit Points with a 31 IV, and the a Pokemon with 298 Hit Points and a 29 HP IV. The 300 HP one loses 30 HP every time it attacks, while the 298 one loses 29 HP. Here's a list of what the HP comes out to be after each attack.

270-269
240-240
210-211

And so on. Over time, Life Orb recoil will slowly do more if your IV is 31 than if it is 29. That's why its a magic number.

There's no Fire Fang on the second set though.
 
Howcome Colin banned me from saying, Abomagay.

But people swear with every other word, and it's okay?

Answer that, thanks.
 
@shadowbulba, my mistake. Anyway, Sandstorm should replace Earthquake, leaving Dragon Claw as your only attacking option. Dragon Claw only has one resist, while Earthquake has two resists, a type that is immune, and an ability which makes the Pokemon immune. Basically, Dragon Claw will have a better time sweeping in the end.

@Pokerade, my guess is that as long as you aren't cursing anyone out, it's fine. Colin probably banned you because there might be people who are offended by the word 'Abomagay'.
 
@BluMew- Syclant was the result of the first Smogon creates a pokemon project

Question: What is the set for a Zap Cannon Forretress?
 
Say, Fred has 999 Master Balls as a result of using AR.
He uses these Master Balls to capture some Pokemon.
Are these Pokemon considered legal?
 
Is the attribute # of the pokemon always a set number of numbers? I thought it was always 9 but with the fast breed code i have been using its been kind of random
 
Could someone please post Jumpman's team because I wanted to use it to get the black card and to see what a winning battle tower team is like. Thanks:)
