How do I get Wailord with self destruct? Can't seem to find out on any site.
You must get a Wailord in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness and tutor it the move.
@ Manav95: I suppose it is because Heatran use is skyrocketing, and most scizor can't do a thing to them. People are using FWG cores alot more, and Heatran is definitely the most viable Fire, as well as just being a great pokemon.
Get/Breed a Wailmer/ord in any 3rd Gen game and transfer it to XD to tutor SD on it.
legit enough for what?
But if your not at a tournament where rnged pokemon are forbidden(it cant be tested though) i highly doubt anyone will complain about that.
Yes
But you can't choose what move your using with Sleep Talk, so it shouldn't count, in my opinion.
Rules are weird, sometimes...
Like in Wifi battles and Battle frontier :O
Yeah, it totally is. You can even go to Nintendo's official events with those.
You are still making an active choice, when you could choose otherwise, to take an action which could result in putting an opponent to sleep. There is a 33% chance to select Psycho Shift, and a 90% chance for it to hit, meaning a 29.7% chance to put the opponent to sleep. This is not much worse than the 37% chance to hit Gliscor @ Brightpowder with Grasswhistle with a sandstorm raging. Should that also be an exception? How low does the chance have to be?
This is totally different from established issues like where your opponent predicts a Hypnosis from Bronzong, switches in a (faster) Lum Berry Wobbuffet, Encores the Hypnosis, lets Wobbuffet go to sleep, and switches to something without a status ailment. Or when your last remaining Pokemon has Effect Spore yet your opponent chooses to attack. In these situations, you really have no choice. Putting Psycho Shift and Sleep Talk on the same Pokemon actually generates this dilemma, so it is your fault if it causes you trouble. Maybe in some tournament with special rules where you don't choose your own movesets, you might allow an exception just to keep that moveset from screwing people, but that's about it.
Do the tiers change this month or next month?
Are there any offensive (not something like Blissey) counters to Choice Scarf Starmie?
Depending on what the Starmie gets locked onto - T-Tar and Scizor make excellent counters, as they can pursuit when Starmie gets locked into an unfavourable move.
Move Tutor in Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness, I believe, but that's about it.
CB snorlax is excellent
I know you can have any PID/SID/Trainer ID combination as well as have perfect IVs for a shiny pokemon hatched from an egg. However, is this possible for the dragon trio that hatched from the eggs for the TRU Arceus event? I was just curious since they are hatched from the egg and all lol
Yes it is, although it's extremley rare, even rarer then getting a shiny starter on your first try.
