uhh.. porygon 2 is an anti lead, spiritomb has spite and resttalk, slowking is CM version, forretress has SR and SPikes, flygon is choicespecs, metagross is agili gross =x

Unless something can very efficently do damage against anything that could harm porygon 2, i dont know what to replace spiritomb with.
 
Why is it That event Pokemon Like Mew or Deoxys CANNOT be Traded into Emerald/FR/LG?? I tried Trading Deoxys From Ruby to Emerald and It said "This Pokemon cant be Traded yet".
 
Note the "yet". You haven't beaten one of the games yet. Just like you can't import whatever you want into DP at any time, you have to beat both games to get certain Pokémon.

Actually, I already have a Silver Card in Emerald and I have Beaten The Elite Four and Completed the Pokedex In Leaf Green. It doesnt trade.

In Leaf Green did you get the plate for the machine on One Island? You can't trade till that isn't done.

How legit are your legendaries? The fact that your Deoxys seems to originate from Ruby narrows it down to being either from an event or a big fat hack. I'm leaning towards the latter, as the Advance games were pretty darn picky about trading Mews and Deoxyses, and will refuse to trade obvious hacks (like encounter codes, or "First Pokemon in party is Deoxys" codes) and they're apparently disobedient all of the time.

All of this info comes from lurking GameFAQs, and since they're so hack-happy they'd be a reliable source of finding problems with hacked stuff.

earlier today i had a skarmory against a bibarel on shoddy. the skarm had hd 3 speed boosts BPed to it and the bib had cursed 4 times, and yet i couldnt outspeed it. im just wondering if this is possible (which mathmatically doesnt seem so) or if it is just a bug.

Could it maybe be that you used Whirlwind ?
 
I've been running Subseeding Skymin, just to prove its not as beastly as everyone says with Stealth Rock weakness which it's not, but if I can get it in on something before Rocks get set-up it's not so bad.

On to the question, wouldn't it be better to run 0 HP IV to get optimal recovery?

What Pokemon tend to lure in Steels?
I want to get the best use out of my Magnezone.

Scizor tends to lure out Heatran, but i doubt Magnezone can do much to it, laying out Toxic Spikes lure Scizor out,as well as Metagross, a Physical but not very strong pokemon will lure out Skarmory, pokemon like Snorlax.

I don't think so, reducing HP IVs will let you get higher % of HP, but the absolute number matters more, so i guess its better to stick with 31 HP IVs.

I don't get what your saying lower HP means more recovery what is this absolute number?

I think your talking about a greater number, problem is most SubSeeder die from 1 hit, so if preventing that damage is possible like switching in on something that like's to boost it's stats, or Blisset Softboiling, wouldt it be beneficial to gain up to 20% than have high HP and only gain 15-16%.

Suppose you use a Shaymin-s, 252 HP EVS, 0 HP IVS, you have 373 HP. Now, if you switch into SR, you will be left with 279 HP.
If you leech from a 651 HP Blissey, you will get 81 HP, which is 21.7% and you will now have 360 HP.

Now, if you had 31 HP IVs and the same scenario, you will have 384 HP after Leeching once form a Blissey, even though you got only 20% instead of 21.7%, you are left with a higher HP.

Hope I helped :)
 
Er can I just ask.. why would you use 252 HP EVs and a HP IV of 0? Surely that is a waste of 124 EVs?

I don't recommend reducing HP IVs on a subseeder set - use 252SpA/252Spe with 31HP IV. Although with less HP you can drain more % each turn, it greatly reduces Shaymin's reasonable bulk. It's not like shaymin dies to a neutral hit immediately when you consider its statistical defenses are comparable to Salamence's.
 
hey guys, If i have a modest togetic holding everstone bred with a ditto, does the togetic pass of its modest nature, and wish/nasty plot?

Yea he got wrong I'm attempting 0 HP IVs and EVs, to get more recovery. Shaymin's reasonalbe bulk? lul what stats are you looking at, anything with a 4x weakness to ice, and Stealth Rock takes 25% cannot be considered mildly bulky.

do pokes such as machoke/Gengar evolve when transefered from R/S/E to D/P/P?

Nope, since it doesn't count as a trade.

If the Togetic is male, you'd pass Wish and Nasty Plot. If it's female, you won't pass anything. Either way, you'll want a Modest Ditto; Everstone must be held by Ditto if you're using a Ditto.

I find your post rather ignorant.

Salamence Analysis

Take a close look at the sets named "Physically Bulky" and "Specially Bulky". Salamence and Shaymin-S have nigh on identical defensive stats. Although Salamence does have the luxury of better typing and Intimidate, it's not anything to be called frail. So neither is Shaymin-S.

see as how this hasn't been fully answered yet... Do your games even have the National Dex yet? You can't trade for anything outside of your Pokedex...
 
0 EV makes sense as it's not detracting from a stat, but reallocating it somewhere else, but intentionally lowering your HP so that you get negligibly more back is kind of bad.
 
Most people generally perfer the fire and water forms over the others, but they're all the same if you don't count the version exclusive moves.
