Question:

Does the move Whirlpool act in the same way as MeanLook and ArenTrap or are the opponents free to switch?

Whirlpool/Wrap/Magma Storm and maybe sand tomb, act as a mean look, with reaccuring damage. The only problem is that it only lasts 2-5 turns, so it could be a meanlook for 2 turns. And shed shell blocks it too.

Oh, ok. Thank you.

 

[Shelcario]

You forgot Fire Spin also.

 

[Invective]

you forgot wrap and bind as well.

A while back someone posted all of the possible combinations of two Pokémon that could learn all of the HM's. Could someone direct me to it?

Anyone? And please don't say "Bibarel and Tropius, duh"...

Bibarel and Skarmory ^^

From what i remember anything with fire spin, isn't bulky enough to utilize it.

I did use wrap, and again, from what i remember, everything with bind, is either frail or already has wrap. coughonixough

If its from a SD card, I had a similar problem with my colloseum files on my memory card. All I did was blow on it and the GC slot, then re-inserted. The same concept works on the SD card. I do it all the time to my micro SD card >.>

No, it's console data.

I have a question.

Are there any other Pokemon - spare Gyarados - that can be bred that do not use Egg Moves? Just wanted to know if there are any easy breeds I can start up immediately.

 

[jujuomi]

No, it's console data.

Hmm. If it still doesn't work (check it right now), then I'm 80% sure your pokemon are gone. It would have been safer if you had transferred it to an SD card :(

Smeargle, Caterpie, Weedle, Kricketot

 

[Arcaseven]

Funny.

No, I mean, any Pokemon with egg moves that are not used competitively.

Why does no one give Cloyster and Clamp any love :(

IIRC Heracross doesn't learn any egg moves it uses competitively.

 

[Legacy Raider]

Heracross only learns Pursuit by breeding, and that's quite common on Choice Band sets.

 

[Shelcario]

I love Cloyster, but Clamperl no.

adamant/impish sandslash shouldnt need any. other ideas include:
modest simple bidoof
modest dunsparce

 

[Calciphoce]

Does Magic Coat bounce back taunt?

THANK you, couldn't find it lol.

 

[jujuomi]

I love Cloyster, but Clamperl no.

Huntail/Gorebyss also get clamp from clamperl, and they are bulky enough.

Does Magic Coat bounce back taunt?

It doesn't bounce it back from what I know. Maybe you should test it out.

What's the ideal HP number for Jumpluff to get maximum Substitutes and Leech Seed recovery? I was thinking 272 HP (12 IV's, 0 EV's), since it's the lowest multiple of 16, but I'm very confused.

 

[Legacy Raider]

I think maybe 16 EVs would be better, making its HP indivisible by 4.

 

[Kabuto Mushi]

This is a dumb question, but I'd appriciate oppinions: Can a Life Orb/Leftovers Zapdos make a good lead or does it NEED Choice Scarf?

Choice scarf can't use Roost, can it...
