Pokemon Riddle

Carl: Did you even look up Fire Fang or Wonderguard?

"Wonder Guard cannot be Skill Swapped or Role Played, but it can be Traced"

"Fire Fang always hits through Wonder Guard, even if the target is not weak to Fire."

No, you didn't.

Edit: oh, and strict damage clause means that the % that a pokemon loses will never be greater than the % of hp it has.

eg: Magnezone has 1%, Dugtrio uses EQ, Magnezone loses 1% (with the clause on)
Without, Magnezone would lose 12904812049% or whatever

2nd edit: also, how in the world does return even miss unless p2 has brightpowder which it doesnt -_-
 
Sorry for the ???(2). Anyway, the correct answer was madjohnflint's. I'm glad someone remembered about Fire Fang's glitch^^
 
Time for a riddle . . .

>>All natures are neutral, max IVs, no EVs, no items, minimum damage, Lv. 100, no NFEs and all Pokemon are UU or below

Battle start:

Indragon switched in X
A used B
It's Not Very Effective
X lost 21% of its health

X used Y
??
??
X used Swords Dance
X's Attack rose sharply
A used B
It's Not Very Effective
X lost 43% of its health

X used Z
It's Super Effective
A lost 88% of its health
??
A fainted

Also, B and Z are both STABBed attacks while Y isn't

So find out what Pokemon A and X are and what attacks B,Y and Z are
It might seem too annoying what with 5 variables but I don't think its too tough

Isn't X a Pokémon? How can it be STABbed?

Critical Hit!
B lost 49% of its health.
B used Surf.
A lost 26% of its health.

I'm fairly sure there's only one solution to this...hopefully...

This one could be almost any pokemon with Surf, getting baton passed defense/special defense.

This one was already answered. It was Floatzel with Surf, and something with Magnitude (cba to look up the post).

I'm stumped on this one. I have no idea what attack Y might be, but I'm pretty sure that the only moves that allow a Pokemon to use two moves in one turn are Metronome, Assist and Sleep Talk; none of which (I think) would have two lines of text between its execution and the execution of Swords Dance. It might be some combination of a move and ability, but again, I can't think of any such combination that would allow for a second attack in the same turn. Anyone have any ideas?

No, you're right, the riddle as-is is impossible. None of the "replacement" moves you listed (which are the only ones that work in this scenario) have that many lines of text (in fact, there shouldn't be ANY lines of text between the two attack name lines), and none of the other "replacement" moves (Mirror Move, Copycat, Mimic) work because B didn't use Swords Dance last turn, nor do they have that number of lines either.

I thought perhaps some kind of Berry (such as the one that lets you go first in the battle) might have activated, but none of the berries fit such a scenario. No hold item would produce such an effect, actually, nor any ability.

Considering the move does 2x as much, I'm going to guess one of those was a defense drop, but you can't use Close Combat/Superpower THEN Swords Dance. Assist can't pick assist either. The only berry would be a gluttony berry but he's not at 50% either, so even if he used assist + berry it wouldn't work.

Gluttony couldn't be the awnser, since none of the pokemon are holding items. I haven't even begun to consider anything other than Pokemon X using two moves in the same turn- I'm pretty sure that that part is crucial to unlocking the rest of the riddle. But, move B is likely a variable/increasing damage move- Rollout, Fury Cutter, Ice Ball or Magnitude.

Actually, could move Y be Snatch? That turn could possibly (not too sure on the exact mechanics of Snatch) look something like this:

Pokemon X used Snatch.
Pokemon A used Swords Dance.
Pokemon X stole Swords Dance!
Pokemon X used Swords Dance.
Pokemon X's attack sharply rose.

Probably not though, since if this was the case then Pokemon A would be moving twice in the same turn- which brings us back to our original question of how a Pokemon could use two moves in the same turn.

No, the dialogue for Snatch is

Pokemon X used Snatch.
Pokemon X waited for Pokemon Y to make a move.
Pokemon Y uses Z.<Stat up move>
Pokemon X snatched Pokemon X's Z!

It's just flat impossible.

Picture: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Snatch.PNG

Without X using Swords Dance at all, the only POSSIBLE way someone could use Swords Dance in addition to another move is with Assist, which does not have two lines of dialogue, and cannot pick itself, resulting in another line of dialogue.

Plus, the only possible Assist user it could be was Drowzee/Hypno, because he resisted something, and every other person that can learn it is normal type. It could have been Forewarn if it was the turn before :(
 
I have one, it's got several possibilities, but there's only one that acutally makes sense. All Pokemon are final evolution. By the way, none of the pokémon's abilities, (except for Empoleon's Torrent) affected the battle. The Pokémon were Lvl 50. I don't know how to class the pokemon (UU, OU, etc.) Stuff in Parenthesis is my commentary to clear it up, not acutal dialogue. All The moves R uses are super-effective against one of Empoleon's types, and not very effective against the other

Vanilla leads out with Empoleon.
Foe leads out with A.
R uses M (type match-ups cancel out, leaving a multiplier of one) X does 23% damage.
Empoleon uses with Z
Super-effective!
R takes 75% damage.

R uses G
Empoleon takes 26% damage
A gains 13% of Empoleon’s HP.
Empoleon uses Z again.
??.

R uses G, again.
Empoleon takes 25% damage.
R gains 12.5% of Empoleon’s HP.
Empoleon uses Z.
??

Opponent sends out D.
R uses B.
Empoleon uses S
??.

R used Second Turn of B.
Not Very Effective.
Empoleon takes 10% damage.
Empoleon uses S.
??
D takes 76% damage.

D used T
??
??
Empoleon is KO’ed
 
I have a very nice riddle. Turn one of the riddle is the first turn of the battle.

Garchomp used Swords Dance.
Garchomps Attack sharply rose.
Giratina-O used Draco Meteor.
Giratina-Os attack missed.

Aquamilotic sent out X!
Garchomp used Outrage.
X lost 80% of its health.

X used Y!
Garchomps Yache Berry weakened Ys power!
Garchomp lost 100% of its health!
Garchomp fainted!

What Pokemon is X? What move is Y? The item X holds is named Z. Garchomp is Adamant, if it was Jolly, X still would outspeed it, X has a Speed boosting nature. Garchomp has max EVs in Speed and Attack and six EVs in HP. All Pokemon have max IVs. Xs Y is always an ensured OHKO on YacheChomp.

X=?
Y=?
Z=?
 
Arceus works in this one. Not sure if that was the intended solution, though.

Aquamilotic sent out Arceus!
Garchomp used Outrage.
Arceus lost 80% of its health. [minimum damage]

Arceus used Judgment! [while holding the Icicle Plate]
Garchomps Yache Berry weakened Judgment's power!
Garchomp lost 100% of its health! [195-230% normally]
Garchomp fainted!

What Pokemon is X? What move is Y? The item X holds is named Z. Garchomp is Adamant, if it was Jolly, X still would outspeed it, X has a Speed boosting nature. [Arceus's base 120 Speed definitely qualifies.]

X=Arceus
Y=Judgment
Z=Icicle Plate

With the normal assumptions of perfect IVs and 0 EVs, this definitely works.
 
It is not the intended solution. I believe it is right, but it is not the answer I am looking for. Sorry. It is also right, but I didn't mean Arceus. And I never use more damage than 100% in this riddles. If an attack KOs a Pokemon, I just use 'all health the Pokemon has left %'.
 
Oh hey, guys, the one that you said was impossible, what about this possibility?

X used MIMIC
X is trying to copy and Opponents Move
X Copied Swords Dance!
X used Swords Dance
X's Attack rose sharply
 
Aquamilotic said:
Garchomp has max EVs in Speed and Attack and six EVs in HP.
Click to expand...
This extra detail complicates things. Now that Garchomp has max Attack, the only thing that can take 80% from a +2 neutral Outrage without any EV investment is Regirock, and it's far too slow and weak to do anything back.

What else aren't you telling us?
 
Yeah, I believe you will have to tell us that X has some EV, or else Outrage is resisted.

Since this thread's revived and I have a bit of time today, I'll try another short one:

Rules: max IVs, all pokemon have neutral nature, no EVs, max damage dealt (always rounds down). All pokemon are fully evolved.

I hope there's only 1 solution for this. It's probably not that hard. Here goes.

Turn 1:
I sent out X.
Opponent sent out Y.
X used Swagger.
Y's attack sharply rose! Y is confused.
Y used Swords Dance! Y's attack sharply rose!

Turn 2:
X used Swagger.
Y's attack sharply rose!
Y is confused.
Y used Seed Bomb! It's Super Effective!
X lost 76% of its health.

Find X and Y.

I think there might be a problem with this riddle.

Lowest attack for a fully-evolved pokemon learning both swords dance and seed bomb: Jumpluff, who does too much damage to Regirock, the best physical defender

+6 Jumpluff vs. Regirock
584 Atk vs 436 Def & 301 HP (80 Base Power): 234 - 276 (77.74% - 91.69%)

Only fully-evolved pokemon learning both swords dance and seed bomb without STAB: Mew

+6 Mew vs. Regirock
944 Atk vs 436 Def & 301 HP (80 Base Power): 248 - 294 (82.39% - 97.67%)
 
1. What was teh problem with my riddle, because this acutally did happen to me. I want to know what the problem was so I dont' repeat it.

2. What are STAB attacks?
 
I Sent out X
Opponent Sent out Y
(Lvl 100)
(I don’t know where you guys are getting this accurate stats like 77.74%, because for me it’s kind of hard to tell with it being a bar and you can’t see your opponents health.
Oh, and Y’s Father was a Flygon, resulting in a hereditary move, Faint Attack)
Both Pokemon are Fully Evolved.

X uses Discharge
Y’s WonderGuard prevents Discharge from Damaging it.
Y used Faint Attack.
X took 22% damage
X’s Static Paralyzed Y.

X uses Bite
Super Effective!
Y takes 100% Damage.
What is X and Y?

This one was rather easy... You at least could have editted the Wonderguard line into question marks or something. =\

X = Manectric
Y = Shedinja
