It would actually be very significant. I know some extra Speed in that set would be nice, but with Timid Sigilyph won't be able to survive very long against common physical attackers. Since one of the main objectives of the set is to move your burn status to an enemy physical attacker and severely reduce their physical attacking power, there really isn't any point in changing the nature from Bold to Timid, as that would just leave you more vulnerable to physical attacks.

There definitely is a point in changing Bold to Timid. If you outspeed the physical attacker, you can either burn them, use Cosmic Power, or use Roost before they can attack. So depending on the scenario, more Speed could certainly be beneficial, but if you're fighting a fast and strong physical attacker (like Garchomp) or a strong Guts user (like Conkeldurr), Bold would still most likely be a better choice
I have a dumb question, what's the percent of all weather teams? Hopefully I did my math right but I took the usage of Tyranitar (23.345%), Politoed (19.078%), Ninetales (8.568%), Hippowdon (3.253%), Abomasnow (2.406%) and divided by and got like 56%. Is this accurate?
The only flaw with your logic is that it's possible to use more than one permanent weather starter on the same team, and some people run dual weather or anti weather. I think that a specific data log would have to made to record weather usage during fights to find an accurate number, and I don't think we have access to an accurate number at the moment
an attack stat of 456, non life orb and non booosted and non stab, is needed to kill the most physicalle defensive heatran using EQ.
Which Pokémon can totally counter chandelure on UU?
Trace Porygon2 is immune to both Flash Fire Chandelure's STAB's while Thick Fat Snorlax is immune to one and resists the other.
thank you i will try these options.
Thank you! Is that a guaranteed KO? If not, what would guarantee it? Sorry, I should have been more clear...
Yes, I believe it is (though, by my entirely possibly wrong brute force calculation using a damage calculator you need something like 461/462). If there's stealth rock on the field, the number drops to something like 399 and further with Life Orb/Choice Band/Etc.
Anyone can help me find a replacement for Excaldrill? I mainly used it because I could come in on incoming T-waves, and usually burn didn't matter as I could just switch to a special sweeper.
I was thinking about Landorus, but I'm not too sure as the ice weakness is in the way.

if a prankster pokemon uses trick room
what is its priorty
what is its priorty
It's priority would be -6 (+1 from -7)
landorus and terrakion are pretty good bets, banded stoutland can also work out, once DW sandslash is released he could work out to.
oh yeah, all of a sudden its saying my PO username has been taken and is asking me for a password, ive been using this username for about a month on po, Whats going on?
did you click register? because if you did, you set a password for yourself and it asks for it every time you loggin. Now you have to remember this password or you can change your username. Sorry but thats they way it is..
Cool avatar btw
Personally, I find Mibbit easier to use. mIRC however has a lot more utility. it's all about preference.
Probably, you didn't register your name on PO, so someone else could take it and add a password. I feel sorry to say this, but it's your own fault. You might be able to ask a PO mod to change it back.
I have a question about something I heard from a friend, and I'm fairly sure that this is the correct place to ask it... if not, please direct me to the right place.
So my friend is convinced that there is a limit of 50 Pokemon that you can take away from the Dream World, and once you've recieved 50 from the Dream World, you can't recieve any more. Is there any truth to this at all? She claims she read it in the flash tutorial that you are shown when you first play the Dream World, but I didn't remember reading that, and I've never heard of this restriction anywhere else. Can anyone enlighten me on this?

That was the case at the beginning of Dream World's release. I'm not sure if it is still in effect, but I remember reading that it is not a permanent limit.
whats better on gastrodon: earth power or earthquake?
and based on experience, does standard tyranitar work better with SR or Superpower?
and based on experience, does standard tyranitar work better with SR or Superpower?
I have always found earthquake to be better, earth power is just weaker, and with it you lose to calm mind pokemon easier, also notably it hits Volcanora a lot harder. The only real downside is your more effected by burns, so Jellicent will have a hay day with any earthquake Gastrodons.
Earthquake, mainly for Jirachi. It also hits Heatran harder to boot. You don't really ever need the speed anyways.
How much damage does Gastrodon's Earthquake do to Jirachi?
Enough to break a Sub and beat Wish+CM variants. That's all I know.
