No, it's really no good. It takes up space and slows you down, and Gastro Acid is a better alternative either way, but is still similar in those respects
Ah, but my understanding is that Gastro Acid stopped working when the opponent switched, whereas Worry Seed worked until the battle ended or the foe used some other thing to get their ability back.

I'm trying to mimic ScarfTwo a bit with this set, but does the idea of "part lead, part revenge-killer" work? Psycho Boost actually helps with ScarfHera...

That may be true, but there is usually something more useful that could fit into that extra moveslot, but forcing a switch isn't bad either

Yeah, my only thoughts were:
-Ruin Scizor's technician (hardly worth it, I think)
-Maybe mess up some streamers (but you'd still have to turn off their weather, they just couldn't bring it back)

I dunno. I might mess around with it. It just seems really cool, is all.
 
If the ability does stay Insomnia on switches, then I guess if your team has trouble with sand or hail, it could be worth using.
 
What happens when outrage misses / is blocked by protect at its first turn? Second turn?

Also what does rest exactly do?

*use rest
*sleep
*sleep
*wake up

or

*use rest
*sleep
*wake up

?
 
Hey, when determining 2HKOs and all that other stuff, dont you subtract minimum damage from maximum HP?

If not, can someone tell me the formula?

Thanks!
 
I'm fairly certain that if Outrage is blocked the first turn, you aren't locked into it, but if it's blocked the second or third turn you still are and the count goes down by one.

Edit: @ raider8, do you mean if the Pokemon will always be 2HKOd or what's the probability that it will be 2HKOd?
 
I'm wondering if Deoxys-D was tried in OU at the same time Deoxys-S was or any time after that. If there is also a thread with tier movement history I would greatly appreciate a link.

How do you guys usually get back into battling after taking a long break? I want to get back on shoddy but I haven't played in 6 months. What's the best way to see what the new threats are so I don't waste my time while team building?

Look at some recent warstories I suppose
 
Question! I'm thinking about EV training a Drapion now, but I can't even bother with getting a perfect Skorupi because I suck at that stuff. But either way, I want it to be a physical-attacking Acupressure using tank just about. So pretty high Defense and Special Defense but also good Attack. This is all I got so far:
Drapion @ Black Sludge
Adamant nature (I suppose)
(EVs)
-Acupressure
-Crunch?
-Poison Jab?
-?
Thanks in advance! (Oh and sorry if this post should go somewhere else, I'll move it there if so)

Did you try looking at any of the sets on the analysis? I suppose those are the only ones that are "viable" in competitive play. You should probably base it on one of those sets. I don't know if Acupressure is such a good idea, but you can give it a try.

Deoxys-D has not been tested yet as a suspect.
 
If you gave a type resist berry to shedinja lets say its shadow and it got hit by shadow move does it die? i guess no but i need to make sure that my thoughts are right
Thank you

Any comment? And does Deoxys-S even get the time to use Spikes?

You mean like giving a ghost-resist berry and then getting hit by a Shadow Ball or something? You'd still die. It's just the overkill is half as much.
 
I had a question:
Is it possible to increase the level of a pokemon in the pokewalker in a day more than once (as in raising its level more than 1 level in 1 day)?
