I'm sorry I was just being stupid XD

"Moves that already have a flinch chance in the above list do gain an additional chance to flinch when the user holds Razor Fang."
But if I'm just being stubborn I'll let it go
I've got a pretty good 200 spd L50 Crobat with Taunt. I can't think of too many taunters that can outspeed him.
Unless that's a typo, you're right.
Well... there's really no way to "counter" a move like that, since it hits everyone and everything even through sub. You could protect but that just means taunt hits you next turn.
The only way to beat a taunt user is...to attack it. If you expect a taunt, take the turn to switch into a sweeper that doesn't require using any support moves. For example, you know a crobat is going to taunt you, so you switch into your zapdos to take the taunt and they've wasted a turn. Once your zapdos has scared out the crobat, you can switch back to the first poke and use the support move you feared would be blocked.
That's usually it, but when I was using a swampy lead, I decided to put the SpA evs into attack and give it Avalanche/SR/Roar/EQ.
I wasn't planning on using Thunder since he's stuck with an Adamant nature and I'm going to be using the Choice Band.
But you do agree that, since my 30 IV prevents me from outspeeding neutral-natured base 90s, I should go no further in Speed than outrunning Adamant Tyranitar? I just want to make sure I understood your post properly. Thanks!
Or instead of Crobat you can always use Honchcrow, it's a lot slower, but if you manage to go first you can always use the Taunt/sucker punch combo with it, considering Honchcrow has one of the nastiest sucker punches in the game.
I'm pretty sure this isn't the correct forum to post this in, but I thought of a good double battle strategy.
You guys have probably come across this already, but if you were in a double battle and your pokemon were shedinja and a dark/ghost type pokemon (e.g. Sableye, spiritomb), couldn't shedinja use skill swap to give your partner shedinja's ability wonder guard and make your partner invincible?
Since nothing is super effective against ghost/dark type pokemon, the wonder gaurd ability would make your sableye or spiritomn invincible.
Sure there are ways to kill it such as Toxic, but hey, I didn't think it was such a bad idea.
Ha ha.

My guess is that it would simply fail every time you try, that seems like something too obvious for Nintendo to overlook.
I was thinking the same thing, I haven't tried it myself, but my guess is: The second Shedinja dies, it's ability dies with it.:P
Eh, really?
Lame, I was feeling good about that idea too.xD
I've seen questions like this a lot. Usually people respond by saying that Pokemon that are obviously hacked, generally with impossible stats, are shut down pretty quickly.
No one has mentioned a definitive list of "allowed cheats" as far as I have seen, but if you're talking about future events like the recent Toys R Us Shaymin giveaway, you probably won't have any troubles. I know someone that's used an M3 and still been able to get one, so a few cheats shouldn't be any worse.

Yea I won't be hacking pokes but I mean like infinite items and insta catch
Ask Game Freak... it frustrates me that they did that TBH :\, and it's not even like if Nidoran when breeding together you get a 50/50 chance of Nidoran(m) or Nidoran(f) like Volbeat/Illumise.
Actually, it is like that. If the mother is a Nidoran-F, the babies can be either gender Nidoran.
Weird, I must have confused it with something else or forgot...
If you just want to outrun Jolly T-tar and co, then go with that spread(but then again, 66HP won't do you much)., if you want outrun Modest Heatran, the leftover EVs make little difference, so just max speed. All are assuming Adamant. Jolly is good to ourtun Adamant/Modest Lucario and Heracross, and check the analysis, as they contain an EV section.
A while ago I noticed how Bug Bite actually has a higher base power than X-Scissor when used on a pokemon with Technician,
such as Scyther or Scizor.
X-Scissor has a base power of 80+STAB=120
Bug Bite has a base power of 60+Technician+STAB=135
Is there any kind of side effect that makes X-Scissor more reliable?
such as Scyther or Scizor.

The fact that Scyther and Scizor actually learn X-Scissor makes it better than Bug Bite. They get Bug Buzz which is awful for them.
Should I use Lovely Kiss or Substitute on CMJynx? Substitute is safer, but a well-predicted Lovely Kiss on an incoming Scizor can set the game...not to mention Lovely Kiss beeing significantly more accurate than most other sleep-inducing moves.
Also, Blizzard+Focus Blast in Hail and Ice Beam+Shadow Ball outside Hail?

Scizor can't learn Big Bite...
