How much impact does the accuracy boost from Hone Claws have? For example, Power Whip has 85 accuracy; how likely will it hit if you use just one Hone Claws? Two?

After one Hone Claws, Power Whip will be guaranteed to hit (85*1.33 (+1 Accuracy)=Over 110%.) i.e. +1 Accuracy means your accuracy is multiplied by 1.33 times. Two would be 1.67 times, & three would be 2 times.
Try wandering around, fighting other pokes, and then challenge him. I think that might reset it, but I'm not too sure, hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me will help. But I have another question.
Not to suggest as a scizor-replacement, as they're both pokemon with separate uses, but due to having the same base-stat total, is Eviolite Scyther worthy of use? I'm far too inexperianced with Smogon protocal to make a whole thread, but would it be at least worthy of discussion?

There was a reason I was really temped to put a DO NOT COMPAIR TO SCIZOR disclaimer there...
Again, I'm not talking about a bullet puncher; scyther's speed is good enough without it. Eviolite gives him 120 base in both def's, which are tacked on to an already fantastic 110 Atk and 105 Speed. He pretty much beats out Celebi/Jirachi/Mew stat-wise in everything but HP(Sp.Atk isn't something he cares about anyway).
Plus, unlike Scizor, Bug/Flying has a x4 resist to fighting, a pretty common type in 5th gen; not to mention any old team can run a Rapid Spinner; I know I'm pretty sick of SR ruining good pokemon already.

Eviolite Scyther can be a decent BPer, but Scizor is generally better because of the typing.
If I've made a moveset for a Pokemon, but there's already a thread...Where do I put it/Who do I show? Do I make a new thread? (Sorry if this is stated in a rule, I never come to this area of the forum and might have missed it.)
Okay, so Elite four is over.
Fainted him.
He comes back, nature sucks again.
If I knock him out then, will he roam again?
Why are the pokemon's levels so high comparing to ghetsis pokemon after you beat the E4. Ghetsis pokemon were straight level 50s and now I'm reaching white forest coming through bunch of trainers with pokemons averaging at level 60s lol.
The E4 was pretty hard although I did it first try with 5 Pokemon around 45-50. Now I'm at white forest facing common 60's..... what is this!
Edit: FML! Accidentaly battled "pokemon trainer" Cynthia without thinking she was actually the pokemon league champion from last gen. Great... straight 70s...

Yes. Just beat the E4 again, I guess. :P
How do you get both sucker punch and dark pulse into Zoroark? I'm retarded.
What's the better ability for an in-game Blitzle/Zebstrika - Lightningrod or Motor Drive? I was thinking Lightningrod since its Speed is already high, but I don't know how useful the Sp. Atk boost from Lightningrod would be since it looks like it's primarily physical. I'm not sure how many double/triple battles there will be to make use of the other effect of Lightningrod, either.
He's in the ground grouping, so Smeargle
Only Custap, I think. Other berries are available through Dream World, meaning you can trade them from a Japanese game.
Depends on the moves you're planning on using. If you're planning on any special moves, Lightningrod (because you'll be outspeeding most things anyway), otherwise Motor Drive.
Hydreigon
Hi, I'm looking to make a team for competition as well as a viable team of 3 for the battle subway. I'd like to build it around hyrdeigon but am unsure of what team mates to use to use to compliment it and cover its weaknesses. It's moveset I have decided upon are:
item: Choice Scarf
draco meteor
flamethrower/fireblast (undecided)
surf/darkpulse
u-turn/darkpulse
timid nature
So i cant decide what other 2 pokemon would work well with it, or if it should be lead or revenge. I thought about possibly scizor for its u-turn and bullet punch, as well as its resistances to ice and dragon. I've heard people suggest salamence but was hesitant because of being weak to ice and dragon as well to hydreigon.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Also if at all possible, for 2v2 battles, it'd be nice to be able to work in espeon for my fourth as its my favorite pokemon. so a team to work with her would be nice too.

I was wondering, do you think there is a high possibility that the Event Celebi will be available through Wi-fi? The Event dogs were first at GameStop, then available over Wi-fi. But I'm not sure if Celebi will, since Black and White already came out. Can someone give me their inference? (This is in the US by the way)
I'm getting the message "It's impossible to aim without being focused" when trying to throw a Poké Ball in wild double battles. What does this mean, and how can I get around it?
As far as I know, you just can't catch a pokemon in double battles. They probably had too much trouble programing it or something, and you just can't do it. They're pure EXP.
I caught one in a double battle before, but I was only able to do so after I fainted the other. This time, I had already fainted the other, and it still wouldn't let me throw a Poké Ball.
That's why I figured you couldn't, I fainted one and it still wouldn't let me throw one; but if you've actually done it before, I really have no clue. Are any of your guys at red or below? Maybe if your pokemon are near fainting, you're 'not focused'.
Quick question of my own; is Drizzletoed actually a good pokemon? And is it still safe to use him with Rain Dish, as long as noone has Swift Swim?
