Just making sure that everyone got their enigma stone in north america!!! for the latias (SS) or for latios (HG)!!!! Via mystery gift.
 
Is it possible to get a 2 flawless IVed Legend in HGSS. This is because I am still trying to SR for a Flawless Atk and Speed Jolly Rayquaza. This is because I still cant get RNG to work and have nothing decent to trade lol.

So What is the highest possible Flawless you can get from SR.
 
I'm currently breeding two Gibles both with flawless Att, Sp Att and Speed. The female is Modest, holding Power Bracer, and the male is Naive, holding Everstone.

I got another female newborn with Naive nature and flawless Att, Sp Att and Speed, but woeful defense.

With these three Gibles and hold items, how can I adjust them to improve the chances of having stronger offsprings?

1.) When is a Pokemon Uber?

2.) I think the tiers are perfect how they are so we don't need to change them, do we?

1.A pokemon is uber when the panel at smogon decides its too strong for the standard metagame or the movepool allows it to take down most of the pokemon in OU

theres probably other factors, but im not sure

2. Not sure if there is any other changes, but some are beign talked about in forums

Try breeding the male with power bracer and the female with bad defense until u get a decent defence and the att, sp att and speed should say
 
Ok, I swapped out my Modest Gible with a Naive nature one, which means both male and female are Naive nature and both posses flawless attack, sp.attack and speed.

x/31/x/31/x/31 (flawless attack, sp.attack and speed)
x/31/x/31/x/31 + x/31/x/31/x/31 = 253 638 / 3 932 160 = 6.4503479% = 1:16

Right now in the daycare, I have 1 in 16 off-springs with flawless attack, sp.attack and speed.
What are the chances if: -
I give both parents Everstones?
I give both parents different Power Items?

I am aiming for a Naive Gible with x/31/x/31/x/31 (flawless attack, sp.attack and speed) and relying on luck for strong defenses.
 
If you faint lugia before defeating the elite four in Soul Silver, when you re-encounter it, will it have the same nature/iv's even if you reset it?
e: Guess I'm just asking if the first encounter sets its nature and IV's forever
 
I plan to play through Gold (the original, not HeartGold) sometime soon. I plan to have Ho-Oh on my team, and I've got its moveset mostly planned out: Fly, Shadow Ball, Flash, and a Fire-type move. And I was wondering, which Fire-type move should I use: Sacred Fire or Fire Blast? Consider this: Both moves have the same PP. Sacred Fire has 100 power, Fire Blast has 120. Sacred Fire's accuracy is 95%, Fire Blast's is 85%. Sacred Fire has a 50% chance of burning, Fire Blast has a 10% chance of that. That last part would make Sacred Fire the obvious option for competitive battles, but in-game, is burn really all that important? Sleep is a better status for catching stuff, so I'm seriously considering using Fire Blast due to its higher power. But, is that really a good idea?

Ho-Oh has a higher base attack than special attack, Sacred Fire is a physical fire attack whereas Fire Blast is special-based, also Sacred Fire is one of Ho-Oh's unique points. I would stick with Sacred Fire.
 
So on one of my teams, im using choice band Azelf. I give it thunderpunch cause I want to have a check to gyrados. however if they DD they outspeed and KO me (I run adamant). Would jolly outspeed? or should I drop some speed and attack EVs to keep the OHKO I need while being bulky enough to take a +1 waterfall?

he is playing G/S not HG/SS. Since your not going to be catching things with ho-oh, the burns are nice. so I would say sacred fire.

No. Dragon Dance makes an Adamant Gyarados's Speed 391 max, and max Speed on Jolly Choice Band Azelf is 361. If you want to outrun Gyarados, use Choice Scarf or Baton Pass Azelf some speed.
 
Well yeah, even if burns aren't useful for catching stuff, they are kinda useful to wear down an opponent's HP easier. So, I guess I'll use Sacred Fire then.
 
so can azelf survive a +1 waterfall without too much defence investment? or should I just suck it up and use something else to handle gyrados? (like HP electric on my slowbro over ice beam).

Azelf is a really poor check to Gyarados; regardless of nature, pretty much every Gyarados you see with Dragon Dance will outspeed you after they use it once. A +1 Gyarados can OHKO after Stealth Rock unless you have 160 HP EVs, which is way more than you want to draw away from Azelf's speed and attack. I understand you may want Azelf to revenge kill Gyarados, but it would need a Scarf to be effective at that, and even then, do you really want to lock yourself into Thunderpunch, giving Ground types a free turn? I'd leave off Thunderpunch on a Choice set in general; Azelf just has better options.

Considering Azelf only has a whopping 70 base defense to work with, I would say investing in defense here is not worth your time. Either stick a Scarf on Azelf to revenge Gyarados (Thunderpunch/Thunderbolt still OHKOs), or use Slowbro, Suicune or Vaporeon they are all good Gyarados counters.

hmm, idk, its helped me through other bulky waters that give my team some trouble (most vaporeon). It also hits most steel neutrally (2hkos most heatran). Ice or fire punch let heatran screw me over. Since I use it late game I usually have managed their ground type. But yeah, looks like Azelf cant beat DD gyra without over specialization. Thanks for the input, ill figure something else out.
 
If I restart Platinum, will I still have access to the room with the Rotom forme appliances? More clearly: will I still have the secret key, or will that go away? I believe that I already deleted the wonder card for the event.

Edit: and can rotom formes be traded between platinum and HGSS?
