Being burnt lowers your attack -1 stage right? So with Guts does being burnt lower -1 and give you a 1.5x boost or does Guts stop the -1 stage/

Guts Pokemon are not affected by the Attack reduction that comes with Burn. Machamp would get the full 1.5X attack bonus from Guts.
 
Hi again.

Has anyone here ever used a Scizor like this?

Scizor @ Damp Rock
-Rain Dance
-Light Screen
-U-turn
-Roost

I'm bad at EVs and I'm not sure of the nature, but it looks pretty unique to me. Obviously they'd be more defensive... Anyone ever put it to good use?
 
ok well this question really goes out to the people with double battle experience

what should the EVs on a trickroom metagross and Snorlax be?
 
I hope I can ask this here...

Uh you know when you try to set up your Wifi connection on the DS for D/P, well when I search for an access point my connection has a gray lock, and I cannot click it. Help?

I've used it with bullet punch over light screen, adamant 244 hp 252 attack 12 speed

the spread really depends on what you want it to do though, if you're just setting up rain and u-turning out then the spread i suggested could probably work well, but if you want it to be more of a special wall of sorts you'll probably want a more defensive ev spread

You need to type the WEP Key of the access point. You can find it searching in your modem a little bit (if you are using a modem)
 
in doubles, is dark void 80% to hit both pokemon or 80% to hit each. What I mean is will it always hit both or always miss both or sometimes hit one but not the other?

ok well this question really goes out to the people with double battle experience

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm assuming Belly Drum lax and Psych up gross so i feel like you would want to use evs for defenses rather than atk since you'll be +6 to increase atk. However I'm sure there is some common doubles pokemon that you'll want some atk ev's to ohko guaranteed, but I have no idea what. Yeah basically I'm no help.
 
i need help with my arcanine

@. Flash Fire

-How many Pokemon is the recommended average for a trading thread?

-I hope this is the right place for this question. What is the nature and IVs of the best Horsea/Seadra/Kingdra on smogon?

Well I ran a few damage calcs and I think your overkilling with that much attack. After belly drum and against + natured 252hp 252def, snorlax is guaranteed to ohko zapdos, levitate bronzong and snorlax after belly drum and stirrus (75% hp). Will usually ohko metagross, and gyarados after intimidate. Sorlax and gyarados are with 102 powered return, im not sure it thats what the correct max power is im going off memory. The problem is, besides the bronzong, you wont face that highly defensed pokemon. Even it you do face max def the calcs were around 115% so you can spare some evs. I didn't do any with Metagross and I suspect you'll want more attack evs (than snorlax, not what you have) in him because of the low power of bullet punch.

When I get done breeding my team and have to decided on my evs I'll probably be more in depth with the calculations. I'll be sure to let you know what I come up with.

-There isn't really a "recommended" amount. Personally, I started with a small handful of breeds/SR's as well as a decent group of redistibutables. I found that it's a lot easier to get better after you get a thread (since some people don't trade with people without threads), so I recommend that you make one as soon as you breed/SR/chain a small handful of Pokemon.

-I have no clue.
 
If you Trace Sand Veil, you are immune to Sandstorm. Are you immune to sandstorm if you trace Sand Stream? What about Hail and Snow Warning?
