[MetaNite]

1st Question!

Why is Dragonite using special moves on its support set??

(I asked before but never got an answer)

 

[shadowbulba]

When someone writes Lati@s, are they talking about Latios, or Latias?

 

[vitreous]

Answer to MetaNite-> Probably to surprise opponents and better coverage although Fire Blast would be a better move in the filler. And most people use walls w/ boosted defense as of now so that might be the case.

They are talking about both.

 

[vitreous]

When someone writes Lati@s, are they talking about Latios, or Latias?

It's just a popular term created by fans which refers to both Latios and Latias, because the symbol "@" looks both like an O and an A.

 

[Shelcario]

Hmmm, I always thought that it was referring to Latias only as the @ symbol does look more like an "A" than an "O."

 

[vitreous]

Hmmm, I always thought that it was referring to Latias only as the @ symbol does look more like an "A" than an "O."

The thing is, they would just type "a" on it instead of "@".

 

[Shelcario]

Well thanks for clearing that up for me Vitreous.

Edit: Here's a question to keep things on track, who has the best written warstory on Smogon, I was thinking Bologo, him and his uu pokes:)

 

[MorseCoder]

Which has faster WiFI speed? Nintendo Usb connector? or router?

Depends on what type of router it is but I hear using a router is better than the usb connector.

 

[Age of Kings]

MorseCoder, I have the same problem as well. =( Someone here told me that the USB connector was shit (I've only had mine for a week and half), so I suppose thr router is better.

 

[Griffin]

Can anyone tell me a reliable IV calculator? I hear so often that calculators aren't good.

well a reliable one would probably be Metalkid's... a link..

I don't think it was IV calculators that were hard to come across, but damage calculators

 

[MorseCoder]

MorseCoder, I have the same problem as well. =( Someone here told me that the USB connector was shit (I've only had mine for a week and half), so I suppose thr router is better.

so, what happened to yours? .,... I dont want to regret buying a USB connector this X-mas..

 

[cim]

The only reliable damage calculator is the Pokémon Resource Excel Spreadsheet, though at Level 100 Libelldra's works. Metalkid's is not working.

 

[lati0s]

i think you have to wait for them to start a new tutoring term

 

[Malfunction]

I suggest you read the Soft-Resetting in Emerald Research Project.
People in there are still testing.
Hope this helped ;)

 

[zuloon]

Can someone ban lumplady?

zuloon: How do you check your ranking? I always forget
kotoha: charles dickens.
kotoha: it all makes sense now.
lumpylady: you get naked, first
mr carter: i like to bite people when they make me mad!!
lumpylady: to check your ranking, get naked first
kotoha: i'm already naked
zuloon: WTF
lumpylady: now that you're naked, rub your nippled and ocassionally try to pull one up and lick it
zuloon: Wow you guys are jerks

 

[Malfunction]

Why would (s)he be banned?
For telling you that? The world is full of such people. You gotta live with it or leave.

i am shocked and amazed that you would encourage someone to leave this life over something so trivial.

you should be ashamed.

 

[Malfunction]

I didn't really encourage him, did I?
Besides, when I said this 'life', I particularly meant smogon.

i was being facetious.

 

[IronGross]

Folks, I really need help with Weavile! Ice Shard, Ice Punch or both? Should I drop Pursuit?

 

[Abacus]

To me, the whole point of weavile is the ice-shard/pursuit combination that allows it to make salamence, skymin and gengar (and garchomp earlier) fear it. But it really depends on the rest of your set/team and what you want your weavile to do...also, good luck using weavile with so many priority moves and scarfers running around.
