Are legendaries in BW able to be captured after fainting (like in HG/SS)? When would I need to prepare to RNG abuse for the legendaries?
If it cant learn it in B/W itself , then yes its illegal.Since one cannot transfer a Surfing Pikachu/Raichu from HS/SS, would it be considered "illegal" or "cheating" to have it re-learn surf through an AR code once arrived in Black or White? :P
The difference between 31 IV's on a charizard (neutral nature) with 252 SpA EV's , is exactly 31 , so with 0 iv's its 286 while with 31 IV's its 317.how much of a difference will it make if you make a poke that has imperfect ivs than breeding for the ivs you want? (in other words is it worth the time spent breeding?)
It depends. Victini can be battled an infinite amount of times while Kyurem disappears after it's beaten. I believe that Reshiram and Zekrom can be battled one more time after N's Castle (at Dragonspiral Tower). The roamers mechanics probably stayed the same.Are legendaries in BW able to be captured after fainting (like in HG/SS)? When would I need to prepare to RNG abuse for the legendaries?
Yes,most of them respawn after beating the elite four if you fainted them.Are legendaries in BW able to be captured after fainting (like in HG/SS)? When would I need to prepare to RNG abuse for the legendaries?
No that definitely not what it means. Vacuum Wave works just the same as any other priority move. I think it's trying to say vacuum wave still has priority even when you're frozen but it's badly worded.Does this mean that the user will have +1 priority on any move on the turn it awakens/defrosts, because that doesn't sound right to me?
Base 179 equivalent speed and 100 attack probably isn't lolworthy, at least in UU. Plus, I believe it's more physically bulky than Excadrill (75/110 vs 110/60), though it doesn't get all those nice steel resists. The main problem for Sandslash, unlike for Excadrill and Stoutland, is that Sand Rush isn't released yet.Sand only has excadrill, and lolsandslash i guess. But everyone has gliscor/skarmory/bronzong to lesser extent on their teams nowadays, so he isnt a problem like he used to be.
Well I was speaking from an OU standpoint of course. I've seen discussions of him for in UU sand teams and I do agree he could be a powerful force there.Base 179 equivalent speed and 100 attack probably isn't lolworthy, at least in UU.

48 spd ev's I believe. That would give it 456 speed after a Shift Gear while Garchomp has either 454 or 455 (not sure which) with a scarf and max spd.How much speed my adamant http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-bw/601.shtmlKlinklang needs to outspeed a scarfed Jolly 252 speed Garchomp after a Shift Gear? (Assuming max IV ofc)

Garchomp http://veekun.com/dex/pokemon/Garchomp
Assuming Lv. 100 and 31 IVs it needs 136 Speed EVs.How much speed my adamant Klinklang needs to outspeed a scarfed Jolly 252 speed Garchomp after a Shift Gear? (Assuming max IV ofc)

Actually chomp with scarf and max speed is 499.48 spd ev's I believe. That would give it 456 speed after a Shift Gear while Garchomp has either 454 or 455 (not sure which) with a scarf and max spd.
Let's ignore for a second that chomp is banned , to outspeed it with a Shift Gear you need 136 EVs in speed.How much speed my adamant Klinklang needs to outspeed a scarfed Jolly 252 speed Garchomp after a Shift Gear? (Assuming max IV ofc)

Lol, he didn't say he was going to be playing smogon OU. Perhaps he's going to play random matchLet's ignore for a second that chomp is banned .
My bad, for some reason I red Garchomp's max speed as 303 instead of 333.Actually chomp with scarf and max speed is 499.

Infernape. It kills some of Latios's greatest nemesiss, such as Scizor, T-Tar, Blissey, Snorlax, Ferrothorn, and most steel type pokemon. Plus, it gets pretty good synergy with Latios.What are some of the best teammates for Latias?
There are basically three common things that hamper Latias's sweep (SubCM, I assume?): Tyranitar, Scizor, and Ferrothorn (though Ferrothorn without Gyro Ball is setup fodder). Infernape does take care of these. Mienshao also 1-2HKOes all of them as well as trolling Skarmory switchins by 2HKOing them as well -- Skarmory can, after all, phaze Latias out.What are some of the best teammates for Latias?
earthquake is a good option, which still hits other water's neutrally. i also like stone edge on mine.Question: On my Gyarados, I have a choice of 2 attacks for him. Waterfall is mandatory STAB move, but the second one is so difficult.
-I used Bounce for quite a while, it allows me to kill fighting types primarily, and importantly hits bulky waters neutrally, which would otherwise wall the hell out of gyara.
-Earthquake is a good one i've considered, it's reliable and has coverage.
-Dragon's wall the hell out of gyarados too, being immune to most of his moves, so what about avalanche? I tried avalanche for a few battles, and being able to kill dragons is very rewarding. Also thundurus after wacan berry tanks the thunderbolt :P
Yes, otherwise there would be nothing you could do if a faster trapper was going to switch in, even if you predicted the move.I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but just making sure: If a double-switch occurs and your opponent switches out to a Shadow Tag (or other such trapping ability) user before your switch occurs, does your switch actually happen? Like:
Turn 1
___ called back Pikachu!
___ sent out Dugtrio!
(Your attempt to switch your Raichu out of the battle takes place here, I need to know if this switch will happen since it's on the same turn as the Duggy switch-in)
