If I had Desukan and Slaking on the same team and if I attacked something with desukan and switch to slaking the next turn and the pokemon that I attacked with desukan (that has mummy) attacks Slaking, doesn't that make slaking have mummy and basically makes it BROKEN!! (This also applies to Regigigas)
Yes, that would work. This has actually been known for a while. What appears to be the best strategy so far is to have Desukan Mean Look a physical attacker, and either Will-o-Wisp-ing the target and switching to Slaking, or using Memento and sending in Slaking, then having Slaking hit the foe with Pursuit, so even if the foe realizes what's happening and tries to switch out, Slaking contracts Mummy in any case. I recently bred up a Slaking with Pursuit for just this strategy.
Galaspark: Bull's Eye removes the holder's immunities, so for instance a Klink holding Bull's Eye would be able to be hit by a Weezing's Sludge.
I thought Mummy only activates if an opponent hits you with a contact move, not the other way around.
Ew. I'm not sure why you would want that but whatev.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone know when the 5th Gen Analyses will be uploaded into the Strategydex? For some reason (laziness, probably), I don't like looking through the complete C&C forum for just one Pokémon. And besides, the Strategydex has the nice bonus of displaying BST and all.
Hi guys I am new here and I have a question. In US the games releases 3-4 months earlier than in germany so I might buy it in US, but there a a few questions.
- I have 2 Nintendo DS Systems, a DS-XL and a DS-Lite, both were buyed in Germany. I heard that I can play English games with my Lite but not with my XL, is that triue?
- Can I play the US Version with my DS?
- I have a german Soul Silver and I have to transfer my PKMN to Black/white. Can I transfer my "german" PKMN from my german SS via XL to my US Black/White in my Lite?
- Can I trade from my US Black version to a german black version?
- Can I battle with my US version a guy that has the german version?
- Is it known if one can play US games with the new Nintendo 3d if buyed in Germany?
Thx a lot for answering :-)

It did in Gen IV.
Where is the best place to preorder Black from if I want to import a USA version to the UK?

U have no problems with the regional code?

This is true. This is why a Slaking used for this strategy would know Pursuit, so it can slam the foe with a contact move even if the opponent figures out your strategy and tries to switch (Mean Look on Desukan is so the foe can't switch out until Slaking is out).
I think the main use is to Trick it onto an enemy Ghost-type who would otherwise block Rapid Spin attempts. Also, as said above, it allows Ground-types with LightningRod to enjoy the Special Attack boost they wouldn't normally get, as the move wouldn't activate LightningRod's new effect if the LightningRod Pokemon would be immune to the move anyway. Of course, that would be kind of stupid, as Rhydon, Rhyperior, and Marowak all have much better things to do. Still, not a bad idea for catching a foe off guard, especially since Rhyperior has a respectable special movepool. I myself use a special sweeping Weavile. One time on PBR, this guy switched in his Steelix as my Weavile was Nasty Plotting, right? OHKO'd the sucker with Surf. I wish I could have seen the guy's face!
Which one? The one that allows you to clone the Pokemon you put up for trade (because I think that one was already fixed prior to Platinum)? Or the one that allows you to evolve trade-evolution Pokemon without actually trading them? Either way, I don't know, but if you do mean the first one, I'm leaning towards no.
Now, I hear that if a Flying type holds an Iron Ball, it takes neutral damage from Ground moves, no matter what its other type would dictate (IE: Fan Rotom would take neutral EQ damage, despite being an Electric-type). Is this true? Because if so, then that just may be the advantage that its Flying-type gives it. Aside from Air Slash STAB, of course.
Okay.
1. Yes, that´s true, you CAN play any region Pokémon game with a DS (first generation) and Lite, but in order to play with a, let´s say German version, you MUST have a DSi/XL bought there.
2.So, yes you can; just with your Lite.
3. No you can´t since Pal Park (past games) and now the new thing to import Pokémon (sorry can´t remember name) were/are region locked. So you just can transfer Pokémon between same language games. I´ve tried with my French Pokémon Ruby and my American Platinum; and my American Platinum with my Japanese Black... none of them worked.
4. Yes, you can trade between Black and White regardless of the country you bought them (at least I want to think so, since I have no problems transferring Pokémon from my Japanese Heart Gold to my American Platinum).
5.Yes, you can.
6.You will have a region-locked 3DS, so, it will be similar as trying to play an American Black/White in a German DSi/XL. But, this applies to DSi enhanced games: type it in Google to learn more about it and which games applies to it... its a very short number of games, but... Pokémon games are there...
Hope this is helpful.
Au revoir...
Yes. This has been confirmed to be true. Any flying-type pokemon that holds an iron ball takes neutral damage from ground-type moves regardless of the pokemon's other type. That means that both skarmory and butterfree would take neutral damage. Iron ball attached to a pokemon with the ability levitate may take super-effective or not-very-effective damage based on that pokemon's type(s), effectively negating the levitate ability for damage purposes.
However rotom-f takes neutral damage by earthquake, so this could be an advantage I guess? Mow rotom also takes neutral damage with an iron ball and rotom-f still has its speed cut from iron ball (I think), so rotom-f's air slash is not as useful as it could be with an iron ball. A choice scarf coupled with STAB air slash is probably the best way to use rotom-f, and you still would not like to be tricked an iron ball regardless.
Do region locks still apply to backwards compatibility? For example, if I used a US-imported cartridge of B/W on a 3DS I bought in Europe, would it still work, considering that B/W isn't a 3DS cartridge, but can still be used on the 3DS? It seems a bit far-fetched, but I suppose if you've ever had experience with region-locked GBA games on a DS you might know if it works or not.
Sorry if this question is confusing - I'll try to rephrase it if you can't understand it.

Well, I'm no expert, but Hone Claws and Hi Jump Kick does sound like a potent combination. HC powers up HJK, and solves the accuracy issue at the same time. Same with Stone Edge, yes. As for Fire Blast, why not Blaze Kick? It runs off the Attack stat that Hone Claws raises, and having 90% accuracy, also benefits from the Accuracy boost. So as far as I can tell, provided you're able to set up Hone Claws, I really don't see why it wouldn't be an effective Blaziken..
As for the LeadApe, I really don't know. As I said, I'm no expert.
Every 4 EVs = 1 stat point
252 EVs = 64 stat points
255 EVs(the max possible) = 64 stat points + 3 wasted EVs
