Zen Headbutt has an actual use on Metagross for hitting Rotom-a hard on the switchin (and maybe Zapdos, haven't done any calcs). Obviously, this is not particularly useful in ubers. Zen Headbutt probably should not be used on an ou lead either, hitting only Infernape #6, Roserade #7, Machamp #16 and Crobat #17 any harder than earthquake or meteor mash (you should probably run from ape regardless, roserade is beaten anyway if you have lum, and Machamp and Crobat are relatively uncommon...).

As far as trickscarf on an ou lead, there's a set for it on the analysis. No idea how it performs in ubers, though I suspect poorly, as it doesn't outspeed Deoxys-s or Deoxys-a, gets slept by Darkrai, and loses to Groudon...

@Cipher Admin Lovrina:
You could run a momento-sleep powder Jumpluff to support a scary set-up sweeper

What's the best OU team for a Sleep Powder/Leech Seed/Substitute/Encore Jumpluff?
 
If you check a Pokemon's analysis (at the bottom) there's a paragraph talking about what counters that particular Pokemon, if that's what you mean.
 
Why won't the site let me change my avatar? Even an image that is within a 100 x 100 pixel image still gives me the message "Invalid file."
 
We've changed server, and since then, a program needed for the avatars and registration CAPTCHA images hasn't been installed. chaos will most likely do it later today, so be patient :)

Raider8, Smogon now has an easy-to-use damage calculator located here.

~Baton Pass

What attacking move is recommended here?

Also, should Abomasnow be used in Ubers, and if so, should I still use Ice Beam and Thunder over Blizzard and Thunderbolt due to Kyogre, either mine or opposing?

You can litereally use anything in place of that. I would suggest Rock Polish if you want a Pure Baton Passer, or you could just throw in any old attacking move.

Abomasnow is not that good of a chocie in Ubers, because Groudon and Kyogre are all over the place, so odds are if your using it for its hail making ability, its not that great of a choice.
 
Does Pressure effect Mirror coat even if it fails?

Still, should I use Ice Beam/Thunder or Blizzard/TB, and can I still use my own Kyogre?

Are Dark-type Pokemon affected by Hypnosis?

What attacking moves are best for this Mew: Psychic, Ice Beam, Dark Pulse, Ancientpower, Dragon Pulse, or anything else?
 
In a japanese HGSS, an american Ditto can pass down natures with Everstone if breeding with japanese Pokemon?
Also, have they repeated any Wi-Fi event?

the everstone trick only works if they are the same nationality.
or of the same language, one of the two, the only thing an american poke and a japanese poke will do, is heighten the chance of a shiny egg.

what is the statistical increase of technician?

i remember hearing years ago that it doubles the bp of a move under 60 bp, so would a 40 bp move become 80 bp?
 
@ Cold-eye: There was some discussion of Abomasnow in ubers here. I don't know if it is actually any good, but go ahead and try it. I would definitely run thunder on your pokemon still, assuming you're running thunder to hit Kyogre mainly. Blizzard is harder, and I would recommend that you test to find out, though I suspect blizzard>ice beam with Abomasnow, even in ubers.

This article doesn't mention any immunity to hypnosis for dark types, and I distinctly remember Gengar sleeping Tyranitar, so I would assume that dark types are hit by hypnosis.

For that Mew, ice beam or dark pulse. It probably should go full passer though. You rock polish on the switch, then you either baton pass out or taunt, depending on the situation (or swords dance/nasty plot if you can). When are you going to attack? If Mew is your last pokemon, you are probably going to lose anyway. I guess it allows you to play as a baton passer in the beginning-mid game and sweeper towards the end, so test it out to see if you want.
 
Im kind of in the dark here, when writing an analysis or an update, do you copy+paste the existing one, correcting grammar and inserting updates?
how would you go about adding a new moveset into a pokemons analysis, add the set to the anylisis your writing?

if theres guidelines on this, please link me, its hard to find certain things on my own because im on a psp not a computer, any help would be appreciated :]

Ah, so is the server switch also the reason for the downtime?
 
Make sure you are carring Dark type pokemon as to take care of the Ghost types. And predict against random Protects; lol.
