How many special attack EV's does a Modest Blazikin need to OHKO Skarmory with Flamethrower and Fire Blast? Also, can Blazikin OHKO Bronzong with Flamethrower or Fire Blast? Can he OHKO it with a Life Orb?

To OHKO skarm (max hp, 0 spD) with flamethrower, it doesn't need any. It can OHKO bronzong (max hp, +spD nature, max spD) with fireblast and 252 EVs (no life orb and assuming its not heatproof).
 
thanks, but i know that. i was asking about currently. Specifically, is umbreon overused right now or not?
I want to know if i can use it on an uu/bl team.

Umbreon is currently Bordeline. According to Shoddy statistics, he is #55, and missed the cutoff (which I thinks is around 45).
 
I'm planning to run a mixed-sweeper Shiftry in UU running Leaf Storm/Dark Pulse/Brick Break/Explosion, functioning as an anti-wall, booming if it needs to. For this reason, would it be better to run Choice Scarf or Expert Belt as the item? EV's and nature depends on suggestions. =/
 
In the wii ware game "My Pokemon Ranch", Hayley trades some of her pokemon for ours. Just the other day I traded my Drifblim for a Pikachu. I'm wondering if Hayley's Pikachu has the same ivs as Drifblim or its own preset ivs. Or randomized ivs like any normal pokemon.(nature as well.)

Check before you trade. Probably randomized, though.
 
I'm starting a new file of Emerald so I can put the BT move tutor moves to good use.

Can anyone tell me which pokemon in DP benefit most from those moves and which ones they should have? E.g. Just a list saying - Zangoose = Thunder & Ice Punchs, would suffice. Cheers.
 
Any pokemon that can learn the elemental punches only on Emerald is a candidate, too lazy to make a list but it should be fairly obvious.
 
I'll try again since looks like everyone else is.


What would be a good Life Orb Machamp set? There's not one on the Analysis page...

I guess it'd be the same as the Choice Band one, but just Life Orb instead?

I want to reinstate my question and add a few things.


On the Analysis page for Machamp, on the Bulk Up set, it mentions how if it's receiving Agilities (Or Speed Boosts a la Ninjask or Yanmega), that "If you're planning to pass Machamp an Agility, switch to max Speed."
So that means 4 HP/252 Attack/252 Speed, right?

Would that work well with the Choice Band moveset, but instead of Choice Band, have Life Orb or Expert Belt instead?

Or should I just go with the EV spread on the Choice Band set? ( 128 HP / 252 Atk / 128 Spe)
I think that would be best.

I kinda understand that Life Orb isn't the greatest item for Machamp because it's got some defense and such and is kinda slow.

It's something to think about..

Also, I need to ask a questions about moveset.

~ Close Combat
~ Ice Punch
~ Payback
~ ThunderPunch

Would I have more coverage if I swapped Payback with Earthquake? Or would Payback be better since more than likely Machamp will be taking a hit?
(I have both Ice Punch and Thunderpunch on my Machamp)

What is Skamory's speed? What am I trying to outrun, that way I can fix the EVs myself?
 
If I use Switcheroo/Trick on an opponent who uses Detect/Protect, will our items still switch?

Does Super Luck increase the critical hit ratio of every move, even non high critical hit ratio moves luck Night Slash?
 
I have a question about Pokemon Ranger.
I have already beaten this game and transferred the Manaphy egg to my Diamond version. Is there any way I can erase everything on Ranger, beat it again, and transfer the egg to my Pearl version? Or is there only one potential Manaphy to every Ranger cartridge?
