Damn site isn't allowing me to use the search thread function so I don't know if this been answered already.
"When concerning with Assist Power power, does the boosting from moves like Calm Mind/Cosmic Power/Shell Break count as one collective boost in base power or as individual boosts in base power?"
"When concerning with Assist Power power, does the boosting from moves like Calm Mind/Cosmic Power/Shell Break count as one collective boost in base power or as individual boosts in base power?"
The latter, so one Calm Mind boosts Assist Power like if you used howl two times.
It's too early to say for sure, but mostly because Blaziken outclasses it for the fire/fighting wallbreaker role.
To clarify, Assist Power is based on the total number of stage increases to your stats, regardless of which moves you used to boost them.
Assist Power only counts positive modifiers, so it'd be 6 unless you previously boosted your defenses, in which case it will cancel those boosts out.
ahh, thanks for making that clear
Both of those questions depend on your team support. If you use adamant nature blaziken, then I reccomend using protect over shadow claw to make up for the lack of speed. If you run jolly then shadow claw is needed due to complete it's coverage. Running jolly you have to be warry of who you send it in on because you can't protect and then ko. Flash fire shandera destroys blazikens lacking shadow claw, so you should put a shandera counter into your team. As for metagross, meteor mash and earthquake are givens, but ice punch is very useful in this metagame for gliscor/dragons, so I would reccomend using that.
Is Espeon w/ a Choice Item common nowadays?
Not that I have seen. Most run calm mind/baton pass/stab/filler.
Not anymore, as with MM, it needs some bulk
What exactly does the "Evolution Stone" item do? From what I've read, it makes Chansey physically bulky, which seems like an oxymoron...
I looked it up on Serebii's B/W new items page, but all it says is this:
A piece of Evolutions wonder. If held, a pre-evolved Pokemon's Defence and Special Defence increase.
Just how much does it increase those stats by?

The boost is 50%.
Burungeru, definitely
With the advent of the Evolution Stone, is Chansey generally considered superior to Blissey in both OU and Uber?
Blissey gets Leftovers recovery and isn't as crippled by Trick, so they're generally considered about equal.
Sceptile-Life Orb (Overgrow)
Hasty (Spd+,Def-)
132 Atk/200 SpAtk/176 Spd
Giga Drain
Earthquake
Hidden Power (Fire)
X-Scissor/Dragon Pulse
Should I go w/ Dragon Pulse or X-Scissor on this Sceptile? X-Scissor helps against Pokemon like Zoroark, Reuniclus, & Espeon, but Dragon Pulse is great for coverage & helpful against Dragons (who really screw Sceptile over otherwise).

Not to mention, Blissey isn't limited to Seismic Toss as an attacking move unlike Chansey.
Here is a battle log with my team. I was wondering if anyone was willing to help me analyze what I did wrong, what I need to change, what I should of done, and what changes should I make to my team. You can PM this to me and we can talk over that instead.

Does anybody have any good examples of 5th generation Sandstorm teams? I'm thinking Dory, Landlos, and Garchomp are givens, along with T-tar or Hippowdon... would it be possible to make Sandstall with some of the big guys still floating around? I'm thinking of using Milotic as my phazer, given that it can absorb status for my sweepers and resists water and ice.
do crits bypass stat boosts? Ive had a heatran dragon pulse crit ruin my latias sweep, but that was followed by an epic jirachi sweep.
@above: don't stack 3 or more weaknesses to water. Its a common mistake sandstorm teams make, so only 2 sandstorm sweepers are optimal; Garchomp and Landlos/Dory + a sandstorm starter like t-tar. The rest cover your weaknesses.
EDIT And oh yeah I am pro at sandstall, just use dory as your spinner and chomp as your phazer, even though I run a different style.
