Double battle question:

If I use Trick to switch a Choice Scarf to my partner in 2v2, will it receive the speed boost from the item on the same turn (to let it act next), or will it activate the following turn?

Example: Scarfed Mr. Mime tricks to Gallade. Does Gallade automatically move next?

Not automatically, but it will recieve the scarf boost the same turn.
 
How do the IV-related comments (Likes to thrash about, etc.) prioritise over each other in the event of multiple IVs of 31?
I am sure Attack overrides Speed, but how do the others work? It would make breeding a hell of a lot easier...
 
They don't override each other by priority, the one that is shown on the summary page is chosen at random.
I have bred several pokemon that are "Alert to sounds" but have perfect attack and viceversa so I'm pretty sure that Attack doesn't get more priority than speed.

One would assume that there is some mechanics behind it. I tested that with a 31 Atk/Spd IV Weavile, so maybe (just maybe), it works off their weakest flawless stat...
I will test this if no-one is sure...
 
I'm pretty sure that the mechanic behind it is that one is chosen at random when the pokemon is created. The breeding guide says so too and from all the breeding I've done I'm 100% sure that your theory about the weakest flawless stat is wrong because I've bred several of the same species of pokemon with the same flawless stats and different characteristic chosen for each one.

It wasn't a theory, so much as an idea. Oh well.
 
One stage or Bulk Up increase by 50 Percent of the original stat while Two Stage boosts like Agility and Sword Dance increase the stat by 100% of the original stat
 
Okay, I'm a little confused for roulette battles. I know you pick the random numbers, and the first one picked has to be the lead, but do the other 5 pokemon have to come out in appearence according to the position they were picked?

No, the rest of the pokemon can come out at any time in any order.
 
Right, I'm having a problem. I have a friend with a glass cannon sort of team, and I just can't beat it. My main problem I think is that glass cannon team>wall team, because I always face him with my wall team.

What is the most common way to stop a glass cannon team? I'm thinking deoxys, but I wasn't sure, so I'm askin you guys. :D

Quick Pokemon, Deoxys, Gengar, Jolteon helps. Strong priority moves from Lucario,Hitmontop, and Azumarril also breaks the glass cannon team.


Edit: What kind of EV/Moveset would an Anit-Lead Deoxys-E run, because the Mix-Ape idea is kinda iffy?
 
For the specs dragonite set(Draco Meteor, D-Pulse/T-Bolt, F-thrower/F-Blast, Focus Punch) it suggests that one could use surf over focus punch. If that were so, then where should the attack EVs go?

Max out speed and Sp.att. remainder in HP.
 
Why do so many Japanese players on PBR have an @ at the beginning of their name?
Click to expand...

I'm guessing it's because your English version of the game cannot display the Japanese character they've used and puts an @ there instead, like computers use the blank boxes.

Put them in HP.
If you want to use a +Speed nature use 252 SPAtk,236 speed, and rest in HP.
 
Well it depends if you choose to use timid or Modest.
Maroon's example is for timid, mine is for modest.

Can someone give me a good bulky salamence EV spread/nature.
I would want it more physically offensive (with Draco Meteor being the only special attack.

the moveset could be: Roost/Dracometeor/EQ/Dragon Claw.
Im not worried about Skarmory or Blissey so FireBlast/Brick Break is not really important.

Can I please get some suggestions?

The standard EVs are still
120 Atk / 252 SpA / 136 Spe for a Mixmence,which is what this is.

Salamence@lifeorb
Mild (some like rash... whatever.) However, naughty and lonely work here very well.
Crunch
Draco Meteor
Dragon Claw
Roost
