It's on site, recently added actually. I mentioned it to Havak yesterday and I think he added it but I could be wrong, it just seemed a coincidence so I'm assuming it's him. Anyway, it's this

Something weird just happened to me while playing diamond.
I was in the team galactic building fighting a grunt with dustox.
I had my sharpedo out (I got a friend to trade a carvanha with me) and this happened:
Sharpedo used crunch!
Dustox used whirlwind!
But it failed.....
I don't get what happened here. The only thing I could think of that was out of the ordinary was that my Sharpedo had a cleanse tag but I doubt that would stop whirlwind....
Can anyone explain what happened?
EDIT: I just battled another dustox and used ice fang so I wouldn't KO but this time whirlwind worked...I'm really confused now :s

What's a better nickname for Mawile? Mania or Ironmaiden?
I like IronMaiden
How does Dragonite learn Light Screen?? I was reading the below thread, bred a Dragonite, booted up Light Screen and it says it can't learn it.

I have been breeding Magikarps, and I got one I wanted to use. I asked if I should keep it in the "Look at my Pokémon" - tread. I am planning to use it as a Bulky Gyarados from the strategy pokédex. Here is the Magikarp:
Magikarp
Adamant
IVs:
29/31/23/18/31/31
This is the answer I got to my question:
After I got this answer, I decided to use this Magikarp. BAD WOLF said that I should put more EV-s in the defense because the defense IV-s are so low. But if I shall use the EV-s from the strategy pokédex, I have nowhere to take the EV-s from. I need all the HP, and 8 EV-s more, to get what the pokédex suggests. I can't take it from the speed either, the pokédex says I need it to outspeed Garchomp. It also says I need the attack, and defense is the only stat left. Where shall I take the EV-s from? the strategy pokédex says I need everything!
And another question, should I wait EV-training it until we know if garchomp becomes uber? If Garchomp becomes uber, I might get an outdated EV-spread. Maybe I will need less speed?
Oh, and I will not use Ice Fang as an attack for the Gyarados. I don't like how easy it is to miss, and it is weak, and all water pokémon will stop the Gyarados. I don't know which attack I shall use as the last attack yet. The pokédex says Stone Edge or Earthquake, but what about Return? Would that work?

No I still had 5 other pokémon, that's the weird part :s
Mawile
Beautifly
Delcatty
Luvdisc
Chimecho
What could the last pokemon be here on my NU team?

We need more info, and there is no nu tier as of now, so I don't anyone can really help you out.
Does anyone know if the next tier list update (beginning of next month) is going to use the Standard or Suspect statistics? This way i know which ladder to battle on.
If you want to go by the list we have now, Mothim > Delcatty, and hell, Seaking > Luvdisc.
How does Dragonite learn Light Screen, if not by TM?
http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/dragonite/moves
TM, I'd assume? It's listed here, so....
EDIT;;; http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/149.shtml
Egg move.
Oh, an Egg move. Thanks!
Yeah, it's really weird that some Pokemon have TM moves as egg moves and can't learn them by that TM.
Like, for example, Golduck and Psychic.
You're very welcome.
help please
Since Celebi has base 100 speed...youre going to have to go with Timid to tie at best with other base 100's
Maybe try for 307 speed to outspeed +nature base 90's like Lucario and P-Z but I would suggest going 252 speed timid w/Life Orb, since I perceive you want an offensive oriented Celebi
I plan on running a mixed Stantler set in UU: Zen Headbutt or Psychic? Zen Headbutt faces difficulties against Hitmontop and Poliwrath, but the rest of the Fighting types have high Special Defense that will let them survive a Psychic on the switch-in. Help?
Chances are that Dustox was of lower level than your Sharpedo. Whirlwind\Roar has a chance to fail if the user's level is lower than the target's.
I'd say Psychic to hit Weezing harder.
alright how many EVs are need for 307 Speed, or is that 252 as it is with Timid?
And Also, where should the remaining EV's go, i would like it to take hits as well as Hit hard, Id like to make a minimal EV investment in Speed as long as I outspeed Lucario and Roserade, most Lucarios ive seen are probably Adamant as they run ExtremeSpeed anyway, and Roserade doesnt try to outspeed anyone, i would think
Theres also Jolly Max Speed Heracross, but not Choice Scarfed, so would anyone know what speed i have to run to Psychic Heracross to death?
If you want to beat Max Speed Heracross use 136 Speed EVs with Timid or 240 Speed EVs with Modest
Well 176 EV's give 308 speed, due to a bonus point thanks to Timid nature. If you use 252 EVs you can tie with other +Speed base 100's with max Speed EVs (that is, hit 328 speed)
Don't expect this Celebi to be taking much damage...what with Life Orb recoil and the likely Sandstorm it won't be hanging around for long. If youre interested in more defensive sets this page is very comprehensive:
