Also, is Soul Dew allowed?

Soul Dew isn't allowed on Smogon/PO Beta Server.

And i don't think Dugtrio is that much of a threat that you need to alter EV Spreads. Magnezone is IMO a much more common threat if it runs his Steel Killer Set with Magnet Rise (Explosion is useless for him now and Flash Cannon doesn't help him much so this is likely to be his move of choice).
 
Yeah.

And again, anyone know how you catch a Starly in White Forest in pokemon White? It's listed as being possible on Serebii, but WF has no grass, so it must be some sort of event/method 1 thing.
White Forest gets grass by you entering someone else's Black City through the High Link and talking to characters or something. This can allow multiple wild Pokemon to appear, including Starly.
 
Does slip throughout work through magic coat and mirror guard or whatever the ability is espeon is flaunting around

I clearly need a friend :P

I've already done this before, but I can't seem to do it anymore... how do you return a pokemon from the dream world with it's friends?

edit: nvm, found my own answer through random chance.
 
Sorry for double post, but it's a new question (I seem to be asking these a lot lately).

How would I go about getting more dusk stones?

I have one, and I'm gonna use it to make a shanderaa for my battle subway team. Then, once I've got the power items, I'll be wanting to make another shanderaa, and breed it for perfection, but I'd need another dusk stone.
 
Where would I find a thread for a fifth gen rate my team? I don't see any RMT threads other than the gen 4 ones, or are we waiting for the metagame to stabilize a bit before we start one up?
 
I want to use desukan, and í want an EV spread to let him: take 2 robushin paybacks (at +1) and 2 scarftar crunches (not all together of course), factoring 1 SR switchin, an be able to 2HKO rob with psichic anb standart CM rankurusu whith evil eye (without boosts, factoring status and bypassing leftovers), so i can put the rest in Spdef. Hope is not imposible.

Here is a list of items and their locations.

The normal thread is the right place, as you can read from here , is allowed now. Just make sure to read the all others rules as well.

Assuming that you use a Jolly ScarfTar, that Roop has max attack, Roop has 252HP EVs and no Sp.D EVs, and that what you mean by "standart CM rankurusu" being (the most popular CM Rank on PO) 252HP/252Sp.A/4Def, and that if given that choice, you would choose to make Desukan more bulkier HP-wise and lower the EVs in Def. and Sp.D than ignoring HP:
It's impossible. Yes. Impossible.
Jolly Tyranitar(367atk) Crunch(80bp) on max/max Bold Desukan(427Def/320HP):
46.88 - 55.00%
This is a guaranteed 2HKO with rocks, no matter what, and a 62.92% chance of 2HKOing without rocks.

EDIT: I have a question. If MM Espeon switches in on another MM Espeon using Flash, does it keep on getting bounced around by Magic Mirror?
 
sorry if this is a newb question. just wondering about species clause. can i have both blissey and chansey on a team? with the evo stone it seems like popping a chansey on your team alongside your blissey would be brutal to specially offensive players. is this something i should expect when i start playing 5th gen?

Thanks for telling me, but i was going to edit the post: my desukan is meant to switch after something is death, take a tyranitar crunch and then WoW it , so i can switch after crippling it, but looks like that will still take a lot of def evs... maybe the CM set is better, so the Spa evs are not needed
(btw i use WoW/evil eye/haze/psichic), but even that way im staring to think that evo stone dusclops will suit me better (i use a stall team, and a rest talk set with pressure seems very appealing), but again, thanks

On a side note, im sure a magic mirror bounced attack isnt bounced back again and again, because that would lead to an endless loop, and game freak learnt to be careful with that kind of things before (why do you think shadow tag doesnt trap another shadow tag user? Hint: the change was implemented in gen 4, and in gen 3 its only user was wobbufet...)

Firstly, two Wobbuffets together created a zone where neither Wobbuffet could switch out in Gen III. It was fixed in Gen IV. If the pattern stays the same, then a similar error that cropped up in Gen V would be fixed in Gen VI.

Second, if you were to WoW the Tyranitar (I'd think Roobushin too), an acceptable spread would be 252HP/176Def/80Sp.A with a Bold Nature. This guarantees surviving 1 Crunch and 1 Burned Crunch from ScarfTar, and should survive +1 Payback from Roobushin and once from Burned Roobushin, though you must watch out from Guts.
The remaining EVs are poured into Sp.A. Psychic does 46.38 - 55.07% to standard Roobushin, which is an 8.02% of 2HKOing through Lefties; with Rocks, you have a 63.31% of 2HKOing, and with 1, 2, and 3 layers of Spikes (not including rocks) you have a 99.41, 100, and 100% chance of 2HKOing. Evil Eye isn't a very strong move, and so only deals 31.13 - 36.79% to standard CM Rankurusu with no Sp.D boosts. In order to do more, I recommend changing Evil Eye to Shadow Ball to increase the power of your STAB move. By changing EE to SB, you can have an 82.45% of 2HKOing through Rocks, even with Lefties.

a) I was reffering exactily to that wobbufett scenario with the endless loop thing

b) Thanks for the spread, i supose you took into acount that payback is just half strong against desukan whos far slower than rob, and if i get hit, rob will lose guts thanks to mummy (so if i have toxic spikes, or better, if i dont and burn him or he uses a flame orb, hes pretty much screwed). Btw i run all the entry hazards.

c)In the worst case scenario, ill need to burn rankurusu, but my evil eye will do double damage after any status is on ranku (often caused by TS), so with that spread and your calcs im sure i can 2HKO him with evil eye (not even factoring SR, but taking lefties into account), and CM wont save him because i have haze (odd choice i know, but it helps me with the last stat uper poke scenario, tough i wonder if destiny bond would do better). Ill keep evil eye because of the status happy nature of my team (i run Toxic Spikes, WoW AND thunder wave, so nothing is safe, it works quite well for me, but i think ill dump one of the two latter).

But again, thanks Engineer Pikachu
