On GTS, I needed a Drapion to finish my Poke-dex, and I didn't want to evolve one, or get a Japanese one, so I kept trading stuff and finallly I got one. He's called Sub Chomp. I'm sure that's just his nickname, but is this any good?

Swords Dance
Sleep Talk
Rest

He has a Careful Nature

You could post a thread about Scizor if it can generate good discussion, but I really don't see it being good at all. There's not much to talk about him at this time.

BlakBlastoise, you could try air-drying your keyboard with a blow dryer, or pop out the space button and wipe it dry. If it doesn't work you might have to get a new keyboard, but depending on your board you could just get the spacebar replaced.
 
Why doesnt Magnezone use HP Fire at all? Modest + Choice Scarf outspeeds Adamant 252 Speed Scizor by 3 points, with no speed EVs needed for Zone?

It should carry HP Fire, and I reckon it doesn't even need scarf to outspeed 90% of Scizors out there(even when Modest) since they don't care about boosting that low speed. If you build a Magnezone just for Scizor then Timid is also very viable.

Even if Scizor is faster then it needs either brick break or superpower to do something back and it can only escape with U-Turn or Baton Pass(or shed shell lol).

No. There is already a Scizor discussion thread in Contributions and Corrections.

First, you don't need Choice Scarf for Magnezone to outspeed Scizor; you just need a Timid nature and/or Substitute to wear down Superpower.

Two reasons:
1. Thunderbolt probably does a significant amount of damage already as it's an unresisted STAB attack coming from a huge Special Attack stat.
2. Hidden Power Fire does less damage to every other Steel type other than Forretress (and Steelix).
3. Without Hidden Power Ice or Grass, Flygon/Gliscor or Swampert completely wall you and can hit you with 4x effective attacks.

I don't know how to fix it, but if you press Alt+255 and then release Alt you get a space.


Edit: Apparently not, sorry. It looks like a space before you send, but then it turns to a *. (which probably means that some other combination works.) It works in most other places though.
 
I'm no expert as deriving EV's from just stats but I'm almost completly sure it's impossible without knowing the level of the pokemon....also IV's will be hard to tell...my advise would be give it berry's to eliminate all EV's then use an IV calculator to see what the IV's are
 
Lets say I have a lv 1 Smeargle. I heart scale 3 Sketches onto it, use all 4 to get 4 random moves, if I throw it into the Daycare will the sketches be taught over the sketches I set? How does this work with pokemon who I have egg moves on? Like lets say I have a lv 1 poke with wish that I'm trying to breed onto an Eevee, will another move get taught over this in the daycare?

It should overwrite the first move you taught it, since Pokemon cannot know two of the same attack at the same time, i.e. Smeargle can't know two Sketch. So it'll only overwrite the first move. As for Eevee, after it levels up and learns four attacks, Wish is insured to be overwritten with something else.
 
Ok I am chaining Arons. If I left the Fuego Ironworks to go buy something out of the mart, will my chain break?
 
How will I successfully breed if my father poke keeps losing the egg moves I want when it levels in the daycare? Is there a trick to this besides constantly copying my father?

Have your father at an awesome-high level, past its last level-up move, so it doesn't lose the moves?
 
I normally delete all the moves except the egg move and periodically take it out of the daycare to repeat the deletion.

Even thought the moves will be replaced when you take it out, the moves it had when you first put it in there. If you put a lv 1 Squirtle with yawn and leave it in ther till it's lv 100, the yawn will always be passed down. however when you take it out the yawn will be gone. I hope this helps.
 
What natures are worth SRing for using Giratina as Origin Forme and Another Forme? I would guess at least Adamant?
