I'm currently trying to deduce my secret ID using the guide on the website. I've encountered a problem because I can't see the radio buttons on the default calculator on windows 7. The data I need converting is 3FFF and AC22. Could somebody please convert these into binary for me?

3FFF = 11111111111111
AC22 = 1010110000100010

EDIT: You can use google for calculations like this! If you type into google "0xAC22 in binary" and search, it gives you the result "0xac22 = 0b1010110000100010" right at the top. Just remember 0x is the prefix for hexadecimal numbers and 0b for binary. Not sure why you're having trouble with the windows calculator, but this should help. :)

Wavedash, just theorymon some or use the 240 HP / 160 Def / 76 SpD / 32 Spe spread from a similar Rachi in the anaysis. I think HP, Def and whatever Speed tier you want to hit would be advisable.

I just listened to the Smogcast, and it was excellent - I'm thinking of trying out Agility Lucario but I don't see how it's as good as or better than the much bulkier and significantly more powerful Metagross. What advantages does Luke have, and are they worth it?
 
lucario get a bigger movepool and a higher special atack and speed while offering different typing too. to put it short its almost impossible to counter lucario. gliscor is ohko by hp ice, same for mence, you can also run t-punch for gyara if you want, CC kill that freaking bliss, they are a bunch of options for agility lucario. shadow ball rotom ass is the most interesting one.
 
During GTS cloning, if I get the message about the previous save file being loaded AND my character walks out of the GTS room as the game starts, does that mean I was very close, or not necessarily?
 
I'm talking about the CC/Ice Punch/Crunch set. I guess the slightly different spread of resistances allows it to set up on things like a Crunch from Tyranitar, but with Metagross' excellent Defense it can take Jolly unboosted Crunches all day. Is there anything significant that Gross fails to beat that Luke does?
 
rotom is very significant IMO, and depending if you pick ice punch, t-punch or explosion then gyara can also become a problem, something lucario can also kill, to put it short, if you pick ice then gyara wall, if you pick thunder then gliscor(and to a extend, mence) wall, if you pick explosion you need to die to kill, and i take you dont want to get rid of EQ or meteor mash on agigross right?

luke can go and run hp rock with ice punch for all of the 3 am i right? moveslot syndrome but hey, at least you kill more.
 
What? Sorry, I'm struggling to make sense of that. So you're suggesting that Gross with Ice Punch is walled by things (Gyara) that Lucario can hit if it... foregoes Ice Punch? Metagross has exactly the same coverage issues as Lucario. Nothing that doesn't Meteor Mash is going to effectively take on Metagross anyway.

Why would Luke ever run HP Rock when it can go all-physical with access to Stone Edge?
 
pure physical:intimidate, with hp rock and ice punch he hit all those 3 targets with no fear of intimidate (stone edge fail to ohko both mence and gyara at -1, ice punch ohko mence even at -1 has long there is SR in field though), that and he also break walls better when running mixed, CC is there only for bliss, you are free to use whatever 2 other moves you want, but remember that since you are not boosting any of yours atacking stats it might be better to work with the higher atacking stat that is special atack.

i was also saying that lucario can run mixed to kill more pokemons, gross run meteor mash and 1 move for each poke it counters him(t-punch for gyara, ice punch for gliscor etc), with no hope at all of killing rotom.
 
In which games will Regigigas's Attack and Speed return to normal, should you remove Slow Start with Skill Swap, Gastro Acid, or Worry Seed?

I ask because I am getting multiple answers when I look this question up on various sites. This site, for example, has it that removing Slow Start works that way in every game except Japanese versions of Diamond and Pearl. However, Bulbapedia has it that it only works that way in PBR. I know both sites to be well-informed, so I need another opinion. I would very much like a firsthand account, if possible, and I would like to know how it works in Heart Gold / Soul Silver.
 
On my HeartGold game.. I currently have a team of

Quilava
Munchlax
Metang
Yanma
Nidorino [shiny Rt 36]

I know there's weaknesses and Pokemon I just can't touch.. but my mindset is so set on using Pokemon I like.. and its not working out that well for me atm.

So any Pokemon ideas? Or move ideas? Switches?

I'm loving my Pokemon as individuals.. but there's no flow.
 
Are Fighting-type moves good in Ubers despite the Psychic-type mass? Aside of Aura Sphere Mewtwo, Focus Blast Darkrai and Superpower Deoxys-A, Fighting seems not-as-common in Ubers...

well...it depend on the pokemon, the fighting type alone is not very good in ubers, if you pair with something like ice beam from mewtwo, you can just let aura sphere kill the steel types and spam ice beam, the fighting type alone is not very good in ubers, but when you pair with a type that could use steels out of the way then its worth giving a moveslot for.

Or Dark Pulse for Darkrai...
So Fighting is mainly used in Ubers as additional moves for Steel and Dark-type Pokemon, rather than the spotlight itself?
Does Mewtwo benefit anything from beeing a Psychic-type? People say it's STAB isn't usable, what is?

Btw.. your post is all jacked up.

yeah, i am not posting very well this night for some reason, but either way, fighting is not good in ubers because of the retarded amount of psychic types. it does pair very well with types that like steel types gone though.

Dark Froslass:mewtwo would prefer to be a different type like Dark IMO, since he would not be weak to pursuit and the common dark/ghost moves in ubers, his movepool is massive, even with no STAB moves he can cause high damage, stuff like ice beam, thunder and fire blast(you might prefer aura sphere because fire blast cant hit heatran and is not SE on dialga) to name some, just have fun with his movepool until you find a set that fits you.
 
As far as I played, I only noticed the trade of kicking off the move Psychic from Ubers only began in D/P...is it the physical Pursuit that made this, not the poor coverage?

Also, is Shadow Ball effective on Mewtwo? The main article about Ubers say it's a very effective type in Ubers, but I actually see move Flamethrowers and Grass Knots than Shadow Balls on Mewtwos, which is odd considering both are resisted by alot of Ubers and Shadow Ball hits alot fot SE damage...
 
Hi, i would like to know which method is used in the RNG reporter, if i want RNG for the extrasensory Togepi egg given to you by the pokemart delivery man in HG/SS?

thanks

look...just dont use psychic ok? the type itself is horrible because psychic resist psychic and ubers is full of psychic, it just get horrible coverage.

shadow ball is effective, the reason grass knot and fire blast are mentioned is because of steels and groundon/kyogre.
