Alright guys. The old test was sloppy but I assure you this one isn't. It's pretty fun, too, as the reviews state. Here are a couple of rules (please read them ALL)
Please do not post in this thread concerning errors; if you find a mistake or feel that a question lacks detail please PM me.

Rules
  • You are allowed to use Libelldra's Forge Calculator, although I don't think there is any need for it.
  • You are allowed to use Shoddy's Team Builder because some of the tricky questions require playing around with the team builder a bit.
  • You are allowed to use Any Smogon Resource, but challenge yourself and try to limit using them!!
  • You are allowed to use Bulbapedia, a source to cross-check your answers if required.
  • You are not permitted to use anything else, not even Serebii. Be honest!
  • Share your score by voting on the poll! Please use your Smogon username as your test-taking name. This is for score-analyzing purposes.
Optional:
  • Share your answer to Question #25, which is an essay. (optional)
  • Give a little feedback! I'd like to hear what you think about the exam.
  • POST YOUR CERTIFICATE, WHICH YOU RECEIVE AFTER THE QUIZ, HERE PLEASE!!! (IF YOU WANT TO BE LISTED AS A TOP SCORER)
The New Exam!- Note that the maximum score you can get is 96%

Hmm, this is weird. I got to question 3 (the subperior set one), I submitted my answer and it said the question didn't exist for the quiz.

I then hit back and refreshed, and it won't let me continue the quiz =(

K it said I got a 92% after the most infuriating back and forth I have ever done. The only way to get past the question doesn't exist was to hit back ALL the way to the beginning.

I had to do this 8 times ._________.
 
Gliscor can have either hyper cutter or sand veil. This needs to be specified.
Normally when Gyarados switches in it says the attack stat fell too. also Roserade cant learn Sleep Powder and SPikes. Its either on or the other.
 
Editing to Sand Veil, thanks for spotting it out.
Subsequent post: Editing too, thanks for spotting it out.
But now let's not discuss anything else, if you find a mistake / lack of detail please PM me.
Funny, for me, the exam seems to be fine (no "this question does not exist").
 
Question 21, the Pokemon for the first sub-question cannot actually use Sleep Powder WITH Spikes, only with Toxic Spikes. Seems worth noting.

Also I got the "This Question Does Not Exist for this Quiz" twice. I was able to use Back to resubmit and keep going, but apparently it loses all previous answers when you do that.

I missed two questions though: the one with the picture (I thought the squirrel thing was normal-type, which would change the answer), and the one with all of the intimidates.
 
:P I got 96 again, sorry, don't have the certificate.

Blissey moveset was Curse/Calm Mind/Substitute/Protect.
 


The Theorymon and -1 questions got me... plus I wrote Shuca with 2 C's =/

I'm pretty sure the intent was to make a Blissey set that is actually POSSIBLE to make. Blissey does not learn most of those moves you guys list.

Also, Superpower is bad with Bulk Up, because each use negates one Bulk Up. Why not Cross Chop?
 
Oh. If that was the case, I actually would have made one, rather than just skipping it. Maybe Nasty Plot/Softboiled/Tri Attack/Hydro Pump? Rapid Spin/Aromatherapy/Wish/Spikes? Softboiled/Accupressure/Power Trick/Hyper Beam?
 
Got 76%, couldn't be bothered doing the IV ones that needed checking on stat spreads etc.

Blissey moveset was -

Blissey @ Brightpowder
252 Def, 252 SpDef, 6 Spd
~ Double Team
~ Minimize (You can never have too much PP :P)
~ Mud Slap
~ Softboiled

Add Toxic Spikes and Hail to the mix and lol at your opponent :)

I haven't had an probems with "Answer does not exist" though.

First time, not too hard really.

Edit: For the standard ones I would like to have a test that you can't use anything like Smogon/Shoddy/calcs for (and don't need to), just rely on your knowledge not how much time you can spend looking stuff up. Of course some people would cheat, but that's life and it would be fun for those who did not.

Seems to me that Softboiled/Wish is a better redundancy than Double Team/Minimize (drop Double Team because it has less PP than Minimize). But without Leftovers, especially if you have Hail running, you will eat through Softboiled's PP too quickly. Toxic is probably better than Mud Slap as well, to hit levitating/flying Pokemon, particularly those immune to Hail. Yes, the ability to lower something's accuracy to 10% is tempting (to .3333 from Evasion, then to .1111 from -6 Accuracy, then shave off another 10% of that to .1 using BrightPowder), but if they have more than one Pokemon left they can simply switch out of the Mud Slaps, eliminating the accuracy reduction. If you must have an accuracy reducer, use Flash, which has twice the PP.
 
I got 20/24 and my set

Bliss @ Leftovers

Counter
Softboiled
Taunt
Mean Look

Mean Look on a Physical attacker, Taunt, Counter their attack, and then Softboiled back to near full health. =D
 
Created this set...

Haxxor Bliss
Blissey @ Rocket Launcher
Wonder Guard
999 Atk / 999 Def / 999 Hp / 999 SpA / 999 SpD / 999 Spe

22 out of 25?

Question 14 on defensive potential left me clueless. Is that something about Dragontamer's Skarmcents and Blisscents?

SexyBliss @ Lustrous Orb
252 Att/100 HP/156 Speed
Naughty nature

~ Charm
~ Sing
~ Attract
~ Flash

Defensive Potential equals HP * Defense (specially defensive potential is the same thing except * Special Defense). This uses the end stat, not the base stat.
 
I got a 96. I found this one a little more difficult and more fun than the last.

My Blissey set:
Blissey @ Leftovers
Bold
EVs: 212 HP, 252 Defense, 46 SpD
~ Softboiled
~ Minimize
~ Seismic Toss
~ Thunderwave

How did eric get a 100 when the max score you can get is 96%? EDIT- oh it was the natures quiz

My Blissey moveset was Reflect / Counter / Softboiled / filler.

Question 24 is worded badly. I'll PM you my 'complaint'
