The different forms lost Ghost typing in B/W
Docile, modest, calm and timid. But like you said it only work for WILD poke on the Gen IV games, the pokes that you breed or RNG from Wondercard can have any IV/nature combo.
On Gen V the PID of nature does not interfere with the IV anymore, so any poke can any nature/ IV.
102 I believe.
My question: Why do I not see confusion more often in competitive play? Is it banned? It doesn't overlap with status ailment (nor does infatuation but since practically nothing uses that...) so I figured I'd see more sets that run Swagger or something like that.
Well the way I see it is; People view it as an unreliable status move in comparison to what's available.
I'm not saying don't use it or that it's not viable but I certainly wouldn't place the hopes of my team around the use of confusion.
Liepard's main purpose of existence right now is Normal Gem + Fake Out + Unburden + Swagger + Foul Play. But other than that, it's generally a waste of a moveslot (other than on Parafuse Pokés like Rotom-S, obviously)
Sleeping their Poké is good, IMO.
Edit: This battle video is a good example of what to do. 70-86331-41944
And yes.
I have two questions,
1. Are the IVs for Bianca's pokemon set? Or if I restart the game after the first battle, and my starter has the same atk, is it possible that hers has different def? So tackle will do more damage?
2. Is this a good in game team
Samurott, set up attacker
Stoutland, revenge killer
Gigalith, mixed attacker
Conkeldurr, sweeper
Tranquil, mixed attacker
Tabunne, lead
Advice on that would be awesome thanks

I'm just going to answer so everybody else knows,
Since surf/earthquake/discharge etc. Is direct damage to all pokemon,
Technically, all attacks effect magic guard, but toxic and burn don't damage (even though burn still lowers attack) but here's something, if you toxic a magic guard user, and wait a ton of turns, and then skill swap to let's say swift swim, will the toxic damage be increased because of all those turns wasted.and if there were enough turns, would could toxic be an ohko?
if you are only going to use bw pokemon i would have chosen a different set up.
haxorus as an atk sweeper
reunicles as a special sweeper/bulk
ferrothorn as a defender type pokemon for all kinds of reasons
krookodile as a mixed sweeper (learnes outrage and has a good speed and atk plus if you can have the ability moxy it could be well indestructible with a scarf build)
hydreigon/volcarona as special/physical sweepers
darmanitan for awsome flareblits ohko moments
just my 2 cents :)
All of those Pokémon (bar Darmanitan) are terrible in-game.
O.o how?
I beg to differ, Reuniclus isn't bad at all, sure it's slow, but it can take hits well and has Recover and it isn't that far in the game.
Krookodile is kind of meh, not bad, but not as good as I expected, in my experience Scrafty is a WAAY better Moxie user in-game.
Haven't tried Haxorus/Ferrothorn in-game
Hydreigon/Volcarona are good themselves, but both very late and require late level to evolve.

Haxorus comes really late and doesn't do very much.
reunicles is fragile as glass and also takes a long time to evolve. is also slow and gets one hit by most things before he can even move.
ferrothorn is useless until it evolves and then he is kind of okay but there are much better options for grass types. you don't really need defensive pokemon ingame.
krookadile is okay. but just okay he doesn't do anything amazingly and is a little dissapointing.
hydreigon/volcarona seriously your considering these for ingame? the E4 has pokemon right at 50 and both evolve basically at their 60s and their unevolved forms are some of the worst pokemon in the game.

it can't take a super effective hit and there are a lot of dark moves in game. and he is literally slow as shit so everything outspeeds him.
I actually used Renuniclus and Hydreigon on my playthrough and they worked just fine for me :(
krookodile had defeated the complete leite 4 and champion in one go so i dont see why everyone thinks he is bad. reuniclus is just a good psichic user overal IMO. hydreigon is indeed on the late side but on your ''second'' playthrough on the lite four he is a champ.
haxorus once he even is on it evolution level (50/5 ish dunno anymore) he defeats every opponent with 1 dragon dance so i dont see the bad side of it.
now if you are going to raise pokemon from the start then i would prefer snify instead of oshawot because he can learn some good moves and you can defeat the 1st gym leader with sease with simipour (or whatever he is called just got pokemon white for about 2 weeks :P)

You didn't use Hydreigon when you were playing through the main story of the game.
If you did, you were doing something seriously wrong. Grinding to LV64 before battling an Elite Four of LV48 Pokemon is a senseless waste of time.
If both parents know the level-up move, the offspring will hatch with it.
If you do a battle that lowers levels to 50 will evs gained after lv 50 be deleted?
