When are gains to stats from EV training added? Do you get an extra stat point when you level immediately after the acquiring of 4 EVs? Or are gains from EV training gradual and not fully realized until lvl 100?

Sometimes you'll see a gain of 14 for say HP if you have enough, but usually they wont be seen till the end. They are added on from time to time.
 
How about the following for a HO Lead Azelf: Reflect, Light Screen, Stealth Rock, and Thunderbolt.

The idea is that you Tbolt Aerodactyl and Crobat leads, who are the only common things faster than you who can Taunt. Against slower leads, you get at least one screen up, and if they mispredict your Taunt and don't Taunt themselves, you get both and maybe Stealth Rock too. A HO team shouldn't be switching much, so you're not so bothered if the opponent gets rocks up.

It's just theorymon, I don't know how well it would work in practice.

Hey guys, will someone tell me who the OT of theses pokemon are? Thanks!




OT: Ash
Naughty 31/31/31/31/31/31



OT: Sayuri

@ Magnet Rise
 
well it clearly says the OT of the first one is 'Ash' and the second is 'Sayuri'
if you mean who on these forums, then there's still a problem since 1. people don't memorize their mons, and 2. the owner may not be on this site.

Why does it matter?


@ Lovrina - why Milotic? You have much better options such as Vaporeon or Suicune.

If you want to identify a forum member, the Trainer IDs are pretty essential, along with the nicknames if any. Even then, 'Ash' is such a common name that there will be thousands with the same OT and Trainer ID - though the chance of a Secret ID collision is much lower.

Suicune does all of those better other than the hypnosis one. But the hypnosis one kinda sucks. So use suicune.
 
Why does Shedinja learn Baton Pass, yet it isn't shown on the learned moves list?

Because it's on Ninjask's move list and technically anything Ninjask can learn Shedinja can too, assuming you evolve your Nincada on the level Ninjask learns Baton Pass.

Do the post national dex great marsh pokemon only appear on certain days? Because I've been feeding thousands into binoculars looking for gulpin but I have yet to see one.
 
What are the rules for Battle Tower in SS? I figured you'd have to use the same 3 Pokémon per streak but I changed my team and the streak continued so can I freely change Pokémon after each round?

Milotic is a bulky Water, simply said, and a great one for sure (<3), just replace Hypnosis for Light Screen!

Thunderbolt? Crobat is Psychic weak and Aero is OHKOed anyway, if anything Id'e use U-turn to hit Alakazam and Weavile...but, by saying I can use Screens/Rocks/attack you answered my question, so...
 
Suicune does all of those better other than the hypnosis one. But the hypnosis one kinda sucks. So use suicune.

Wow, that wasn't the answer I was looking for... In fact, last time I checked, Suicune doesn't get recover, it doesn't get hypnosis, and it doesn't get marvel scale, so if you're capable of answering my question, then by all means do so...

Next?

The sleeptalking set has been working well as with max special defense, hp and a calm nature, combined with marvel scale, its defenses are just about godly, but whatever... I can see that nobody here can read a signature, take a hint, or answer my question!

Yup, when you get the chance to change Pokemon in the Tower you can do so without affecting your streak.

About Marvel Scale - does the defense boost go away when the status is healed?
 
Yes... but a rest-talk Milotic capatilizes on its sleeping! It might take a hit while its awake, but it'll always heal back to full health with improved defenses.
Again, I've been working on finding Milotic's niche in OU, and don't you dare tell me it doesn't have one... so anybody else?
 
I was playing on shoddy today and I noticed something. I had used substitute and taunted the other guy. The enemy's Clefable used fling, throwing a flame orb at me. The orb hit the sub, and my poke got burnt. Needless to say this screwed up my plan to focus punch. Should this have happened?

Gonna go ahead and bump my question as it got buried unanswered under a few pages.
 
Hello Smogon. I was hoping someone could recommend me a (probably specially) bulky EV spread for a Choice Band Scizor, something that can take a hit and still pack a bit of a punch.
