Does anyone know what the ability Weak-Kneed does?

 

[jumpluff]

It halves the Pokémon's stats when its HP is low (<50%).

 

[blakkmajyk]

Aww. Does it halve all stats, including HP?

 

[cayr]

Aww. Does it halve all stats, including HP?

no, only atk, def, sp. atk, sp.def and speed

and hp can't be halved since it can't be boosted either

I have a question about Thick Fat.

Does it automatically make a Pokemon resist Fire/Ice?Or does it just take out the weakness.

I am using Mamoswine as an example.Would he now resist Ice/Fire?Or just resist Ice and Neutral to fire?

 

[Kitsunine]

Resist Ice and neutral to fire.

Has any rules for Random Wi-fi matches been confirmed?
Please say the BT rules apply not the PBR with all the ubers :(

 

[pux]

Is the "Hii Region" rumour true?

 

[MegaKick]

what is this "aiming mark" move?

 

[Nintenfreak]

Does anyone have a handy list of items? Especially Berries and Balls.

 

[DDRMaster]

The HMs are Cut, Fly, Surf, Strength, Dive, and Waterfall, in that order, right?

 

[Upstart]

anyword when we will find out what abilities do?

 

[General Tso]

Does BW even have Move Tutors?

Guess that makes things even MORE scarce

 

[Nokocchi]

Does anyone know if Spikey-Earred Pichu is transferable to 5th Gen? I didn't see it on the alternate formes list, unless it doesn't count as one in the coding similar to Castform in 3rd/4th Gen.

While it is fairly useless, I find it unique. It's an alternate form for a Pokemon made two Generations earlier, and is unable to evolve like its normal counterpart.

There are a lot of new tms and some got replaced!! Most were bad moves anyways. Ex: water pulse, brine, endure.
Anyways, will super luck increase the ratio of togekiss's air cutter more than serene grace did?

Serene Grace didn't boost the crit chance for high crit moves.

I read somewhere that Lightning rod and storm drain have been changed to actually be useful.

Is this true? If so, has been revealed what they do?

Lightningrod now gets you Electric immunity and +1 Sp Att when hit by an Electric attack. Think Motor Drive for Special Attack.

 

[MegaKick]

Is it true you "earn" items to use in battle? If so, how do you earn them and what items are available?

 

[Gideon]

is defog the new rapid spin because it takes away spikes, stealth rock, and toxic spikes meaning ghosts cant switch in on it considering it is flying.

 

[deathsquirrel]

is defog the new rapid spin because it takes away spikes, stealth rock, and toxic spikes meaning ghosts cant switch in on it considering it is flying.

It's a status move, so type-immunities don't come into it. However, Defog only removes hazards on the opponent's side.

 

[Garganator]

Just one thing

Does PreEvolution Stone boosts ALL stats or just for example defenses ? Or there are two items - for defences and other for offenses ? I'm just curious, as it gives some interesting options.

 

[lordkira]

Anyone news on Random Wi-Fi Match rules?

 

[kyu]

How long will it take to incorporate black/white into shoddy?

 

[Firestorm]

How long will it take to incorporate black/white into shoddy?

Already asked and the answer is never. Shoddy's successor will eventually get Generation V but that depends on both the programmers' time and how quickly research gets down so we can put in the attacks, abilities, Pokemon, and formulae accurately.
