Thanks, I was just making sure, because I'm catching Magikarp in the resort area for RNG shiny abuse, and I wanted the leveled-once less likely to appear. Good to know that an Intimidate user gives Magikarp who have lower level less chance to appear :).
If you don't have access to hidden power, then try thunder punch.
edit: lol, Erazor... you should also specify the reason!!!
Coldeye, there's a Blaziken analysis for a reason :
Freeze clause is not directly enforced on Wi-Fi. If you are playing in a tournament where freeze clause is enforced using D/P/Pt, I think they ignore that if the 10% comes in.
On Shoddy, yes, no moves with a secondary effect to freeze will freeze if there is already a frozen Pokemon on the opponent's team. The move will still work properly.

HP Ice, thanks!
Scarf Abomasnow: Blizzard/Wood Hammer/EQ/And? Rock Slide? Brick Break? Maybe even Focus Blast?
Ice/Ground hits most things at least Neutrally besides Bronzong, so HP Fire is your best bet here. Failing that, Brick Break or Focus Blast is probably your best option, though Ice Shard is acceptable to beat Dragons who still outspeed you (via Scarf or Dragon Dance).
I think Rock Slide seems to have the best coverage along with those moves. In fact, EQ and Rock Slide can hit all of Abomasnow's single-typed weaknesses without Levitate for super-effective damage.
Although the weaknesses that Rock Slide is responsible for are the unpopular ones, and EQ takes care of the popular ones.
It's called that because Hazing was to get rid of stat boosts by using the move Haze, while Roar/Whirlwind gets rid of stat boosts by causing the opponent to switch out, indirectly getting rid of stat boosts, hence the psuedo part.
I believe his question was why is Roar/Whirlwind still referenced to the move Haze when Haze is rarely, if ever, used.
There are a couple of factors. First, Phazing encompasses more than just Roar and Whirlwind. Any effect that makes it so that the target is going to need to switch out could be considered Phazing. Perish Song is probably the best example of this, but there are others.
The second is that it is much shorter to say "Phazing" than to say "Roar/Whirlwinding".
The last factor is tradition. It's just been done for so long that it's not really worth changing terminology at this juncture.
When I look through the RMT forum, a lot of the teams have a table of weaknesses/resistances for the team (that is, how many weaks/resists to each type there is on the team). Where and how do they make those? I can't find that resource.
Tadaa!
In all honesty, I don't find them THAT useful, but maybe it's just because I have my types down cold.
Don't forget that it also works on your opponent's last Pokemon. Haven't we all been swept by a last-Pokemon +6 Suicune?
How exactly do you farm for Shards in Platinum without AR? I remember like last month I tried to get some Underground for like an hour and didn't pick any up. Did I have to get National Dex or something? lol :\
Anyway, some easy and fast Shard farming tips are nice (and I know about the Star Piece thing)! Thanks.

You can always find shards while digging in the underground, or clone and palpark from emerald after stealing them off while corsola, relicanth, chinchou & clamperl. I'm not sure if nationaldex is required.
Each day, you can go to the Great Marsh and talk to the Ace Trainer near the entrance, and he'll give you one random shard. Hope that helps some.
Ahh yea, I could do that. Pal Park some every day, get 6 of each shard. Forgot about that. :O
I'll keep that in mind, this helps a bit. And every little bit adds up to a lot. :D
It all depends on what you want to do and what your overall strategy is. If you're using gyro ball or trick room, for example, the answer will be different than if you're leading with frail sweepers.
