I was levelling up a Perishtrapping Misdreavus against the Elite Four.

In the third turn of Perish Song, when I'm supposed to switch out Misdreavus so they are knocked out, the AI could also switch as I switched. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to do this in a link battle or is it just a silly AI thing?

What was Celia's team?

if you dont mean look then the enemy can just switch from perish song if that is what you are asking. the AL is not that stupid to stay into perish song i guess....oh, you can also switch in a linked battle.
 
I have no idea what changes got made to R/B/Y battling between NB 0.9.6 & NBS, as I was completely offline for that entire time, but I do recall that it was pretty close to true R/B/Y, but there were some things that didn't match the game.

Moves that were glitched includied all the multi-turn, multi-hit moves such as Wrap, Fire Spin & Clamp. I recall a couple of other moves being problematic back then, but I don't recall what they were. Focus energy also worked correctly in Netbattle, while it was bugged ingame, unless you were battling in Stadium
 
I've been trying to get a Larvitar with Dragon Dance by egg breeding for a while now and I still haven't gotten one. I'm aware that it takes a while, but I just want to make sure I'm doing it right.

What I've been doing is simply breeding two Larvitars, checking to see if they have Dragon Dance, then storing them in my PC after finding out they don't have it. What I was worried about is if there is some complex thing to breeding for an egg move that I'm unaware of.

Any help would be appreciated, so thank you in advance.
 
wait a damn sec, DD dindt even existed in gen 2! if you are talking about gen 3 or 4 then this is the wrong place (i doubt i am wrong but if i am wrong about DD not existing in gen 2 then whatever because larvitar can only learn DD gen 3 and beyond)

Had a look, you seemed to think fire won't cause defrosting. Try that again, I'd suggest using that Chansey as the target. I know for a fact that getting hit by a fire attack has always caused defrosting, even back in 1st gen.

You're correct. You also beat me to saying this.

As MM said, best way to test this is on Chansey with Ice Beam (more PP and does less damage) and wait for the freeze, then use a Fire-type attack on it and it will for sure unfreeze.

I've unfrozen many Pokemon by using Fire-type attacks in RBY -- be it on Stadium, or in-game (haven't seen it on NBS yet, but maybe one day, and I'm sure it will have the same effect to thaw out the frozen Pokemon).

hi everyone.
There is something i would like to ask: Is there any IV check -guy in the fire red ,leaf green games?
Similar to the ones in the Emerald Battle Frontier, it would really help me to know it since i want to put Sword dance in a qwilfish and don't want to spend it in a low IV poke and also don' want to battle all the way in emerald to get 48 B.P. >.>
Anyways, thanks in advance.
 
the AL can alter time and space then, he switched pokemon after you right? at the time your missy or whatever poke swithed the effect of mean look went away, he in a act of pure epicness changed actions mid-turn right after you switch, to put it short yes its a silly AL thing has far i know.
 
Not sure if that works in GenI, but in GenII, an Ice-type Pokémon cannot be frozen with Ice attacks, but it can be frozen with Tri Attack.
