What pokemon can easily kill a sd yachechomp in the battle hall besides weavile?

latias and latios

I want to use Jirachi as a rain lead, but it's an event Jirachi with Draco Meteor.

Proposed moveset:
-Rain Dance
-Thunder
-U-turn
-Draco Meteor/Stealth Rock

Draco Meteor > Stealth Rock to surprise the dragons?

stealth rock for sure.

Hey, does Soul Dew work in the Battle Tower? Is it even allowed in?

Not allowed.

Edit: Apparently they let you bring it in the Battle Tower, but it has no effect. I just assumed that since the Battle Tower receptionist said (IIRC) Soul Dew can't be used, that they wouldn't allow a pokemon holding it.

 

[stingray_spin]

Thanks mate. So a message would come up saying "You're not allowed to use this item in the Battle Tower", or something like that?

 

[tripe]

The rain teams has tons of other dragon coverage, so maybe you're right, thanks. :)

Kingdra fits the bill quite nicely, with swift swim doubling it's speed and dealing with dragons with stab draco meteors/outrages.

I'm pretty sure it just greys out whatever pokemon is holding it when you pick your team.

 

[stingray_spin]

Ahh ok, thanks man.

They look good to me, the defense looks a little low but I can't see 16 defense mattering too much when the biggest threat to Salamence is Stealth Rock.

Question! For the move Knock Off, does it deal damage first, and then remove the item after? Or does it remove the item first, and then deal damage?

I ask because I was planning on coming up with a decent level 1 pokemon (not FEAR) to use and Knock Off would destroy any of them if it removed the item (Focus Sash) before dealing the damage.

 

[gamer22]

im pretty sure it removes the item 1st then deals damage

It is allowed, but has no effect whatsoever. You may as well be holding a Nugget.

gamer22 - try the 'Discuss my Pokemon' thread in WiFi for that sort of question in future.

I'm pretty sure the Sash would activate before it could be Knocked Off, assuming it's like Pluck/Bug Bite on something with the respective resist-berry, where the berry kicks in before it can be stolen.

Actually, no, iirc, you're still allowed to use the Pokemon, it's just that Soul Dew's effects are nullified during the battles. If you check Lati@s's summary, it'll still holding Soul Dew, just the effects of it are nullified (I learned this the hard way lol).

 

[darkseeker4]

ev spread/moveset for a mixed naive arcanine?
It has hp ground if anyone cares?

Anyone?

Do I NEED to have a shiny Pokemon caught in my game to deduce its SID?

If you don't have an AR, then that's the only way without the help of others; you can just send a Pokemon to someone with an AR to check your SID.

Would I better give Wailord Bokd max Def, or Modest max SpA?

 

[Erazor]

That obviously depends on what you're using it for... for a sweeper I'd obviously give it max SpAtk.

 

[IronGross]

Whatwould be generally more benefitical? How bulky is 0HP/252Def Bold Wailord? I know 252SpD Calm Wailord is slightly specially bulkier than max HP Gyarados, but Bold?

 

[Teh_1337ness]

I'm building a bulky Latios set (Don't ask me why, I wanted to), and I've decided to put 176 EVs into speed to outspeed Timid Palkia.
I want to know, how many EVs should I put into HP (Like, how many do I need to survive a Choice Band Meteor Mash from Metagross)?

Raichu and teeter dance

I noticed that Raichu can learn teeter dance, but I can't seem to find where or how Raichu learns it.

I am thinking it must be an event Pokemon.

Any help would be Great
