Question about chaining:

You usually don't get a super big piece of land, just enough to fit the 9*9 grid. So actually you have to risk going on the edges of the grassfield?
 
How can improve this stall team? I am open to any change as long as I get to use Milotic... I can use a Bold Sleep-Inducer or a Calm Rest-talker...

Hippowdon (Lead)
Toxic-spikes + spikes Forretress
Cleric Blissey
Wish-Pass + Roar Vaporeon
Curse Spiritomb
Rest-talk Milotic

I believe stall teams need

A. All three entry hazards
B. A Phazer
C. A Rapid-Spinner
D. A Spin-Blocker
E. A Cleric
F. A Wishpasser
G. 2-3 General Walls

The only issue I see here is the triple grass weakness!
 
I am not talking about the side and corner ones. I mean:

= = = = = = = = = =
= 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 =
= 4 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 =
= 4 3 2 2 2 2 2 3 4 =
= 4 3 2 1 1 1 2 3 4 =
= 4 3 2 1 Y 1 2 3 4 =
= 4 3 2 1 1 1 2 3 4 =
= 4 3 2 2 2 2 2 3 4 =
= 4 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 =
= 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 =
= = = = = = = = = =
So all the 4s touches the edge... say Machop in 207

7. Patches touch the edge of the field, trees, or other obstacles are dangerous! This is very important, even if you get your pokemon it can still break your chain. This is because all the patches that would appear after you killed the pokemon can land outside the field. If you didn't understand that, just take my word for it. Because of this, corners are especially dangerous, as they leave less room for patches to appear.

Now what?

Looks pretty good. Post an RMT for a better rate! ^_^ I'd love to rate a stall team!
 
What would happen in this situation?
Infernape used taunt
Metagross used Stealth rock
It failed

Infernape used Encore
What happens? Is it stuck on fail?
If so that'd be a sweet anti lead..

It's supposed to struggle, but I'm not sure if that's how it works on shoddy

And is there any way to prevent the daycare people from erasing/ adding moves?
Click to expand...
You cant, but always put the inportant moves on the bottom of the list of moves, because the day care always deleted the top move
eg.

Chimchar

Thunder Punch
Leer
Fire Punch
Scratch

when it learns Taunt, the Chimchar will have

Leer
Fire Punch
Scratch
Taunt

So put he moves on the bottom every few levels

I tested this out and this was the results:

Infernape used Taunt!
Slowbrow cannot use Toxic after the Taunt!

Infernape used Encore!
Slowbro used Surf!
Infernape fainted.
 
Quick question about IVs. Let's say some pokemon has a 30 HP IV. If you give it max HP EVs (252), it would end up with the maximum HP for that pokemon, minus one point, right?
 
Determining hacked breeded Pokémon

I apologize in advance if my next question will somehow infract an existing rule, as I'm still adapting to the Smogon environment. Here's my question: What are the best ways possibles to check whether a hatched Pokémon originated from at least one hacked parent?

Click to expand...

you can't
Since the only ways to tell if a Pokemon is hacked is by looking at its moveset, level, location met, ability and hex values, none of which go from parent to child, it's impossible to tell whether a child is born of a hacked parent or not.
As well as that, all eggs are considered legitimate since they are generated within the game solely.
 
What happens if the opponent switches in something that has Intimidate and cuts your attack, and on the next turn you Skill Swap it away from him? Would your Atk level rise back to normal?

And what happens if you give him back his Intimidate?

No, if you obtain Intimidate through Skill Swap, nothing happens. You are the only one at -1 and you stay like that. Even if you give them back Skill Swap. nothing happens.
 
Please help a confused soul!

I need a few clarifications about this:
  1. So, considering that all eggs are legitimate, a Smogoner can put in his/her trade thread a hatched Pokémon originated from at least one hacked parent without being reported to the Smogon's Wi-Fi blacklist?
  2. Is it allowed in this community to use hacked parents for breeding Pokémon?
  3. Will he/she be put in the Wi-Fi blacklist if he/she distributes a hatched Pokémon originated from at least one hacked parent?
I've been trying to read some of the pinned threads in the Wi-Fi section of the forums, but it appears that I can't find any information that satisfies my questions, other than the phrase, "If you alter IVs and Create Pokemon, then we are not expecting you to trade at this board, so please avoid doing so" related to that PokéSav device.

However, the "Pokémon" that the above phrase is referring to seems to be a little bit vague, and I don't know whether it refers to the parents, or the hatched Pokémon, or both.
 
Don't know where else to ask this, but...
How do you check your ranking on the Leaderboard? (Shoddy)
I don't mean the CRE, but how people can determine their place, whether it's first, seventh, thirty first or whatever

Here is where you can check the top 50 for each ladder.

I'm making a semistall team with a rock polish aggron and the Set-Up. I was thinking of a lead hippowdon, a Wish Bliss and a Taunt Skarmory and a Resttalk Spiritomb. My last slot would be a scarfer. First off, are there any flaws to this team that you can see now, and second, who should be my scarfer?
 
When people say their team peaked at *insert rating here* do they mean their CRE or the highest number in their range when they view their own record?
