Because it lowers the Pokemon's HP without damaging it with a direct attack. Although, since Pain Split doesn't actually do damage at all, it's not affected by Magic Guard.

Chiming in because the two answers above seem contradictory. Pain Split is not affected by Magic Guard, as the attack doesn't deal damage per se. Magic Guard can only prevent indirect damage. Pain Split acts to manipulate the HP of both Pokemon, but doesn't damage either of them.

Dark Pulse is an egg move for Zorua (from Weavile and Lucario) but you could always use Night Daze instead.

For Hydreigon to get Dark Pulse, it needs to be bred with a Gyarados, Arbok, or Seviper that learned Dark Pulse in a previous generation
 
I am using a Rhyperior for my Dark Horse Project, and I would like to know which is the most effective set for him to run OU?

Thanks in advance!
 
What do you guys consider to be the best Skarm set?

SR/Whirlwind/Spikes/Brave Bird
Or
Spikes/Roost/Brave Bird/Whirlwind

Or do you recommend something completely different? Note that I use a specially defensive one.

Also, I do not have a hazards layer outside of Skarm as there is no room.

If you don't have other pokemon to lay down stealth rock then I'd go with the 2nd set replacing spikes for SR, it is far more useful than spikes overall since it is a 1-turn setup for a big return.
 
Access to spikes is one of Skarmory's biggest selling point over other physical walls. If you're not using spikes then you might as well use another wall. What's the rest of your team?
 
My team for the above question:

Skarm, OTR Victini, CB Aggron (If I have to, I'll forgo CB for LO and add Rocks, but I love the power of CB), OTR Slowbro, Dusknoir, and Escalivier (LO).

I don't run Reuniclus because I like to be different...
 
If you're not going to run spikes on Skarm you might as well decide to use Bronzong with SR\gyro ball\trick room\earthquake or explosion and a sassy nature. Bronzong is probably better than Skarm in a TR team and gives the same useful resistances. If you don't need another TR user you can drop TR for hp ice and also make it a solid Gliscor counter. Explosion can be useful after you set up TR to give a free switch to one of your sweeper.

Gotta admit I completely forgot about Bronzong -_- besides the idea of explosion sounds much better than phazing if the team manages to sweep before anything tries to setup.
 
@Rhyperior: You can use a CBerior in pretty much the same place as people use CB Terrakion on a volt-turn team, except for the fact that Rhyperior lacks the fantastic dual stab and speed.
It does get different fantastic dual stab, but Skarmory is one big mofo to take down. Magnezone support is pretty much required for rhyperior to be any usefull. Apart from that, have fun launching EdgeQuake from an effective 624 attack stat (not counting the STAB yet) from something with physical bulk rivaling Skarmory's.
You could also run Rock Polish, but there too, magnezone support is absolutely required to make it run through anything.
 
Gentle is a horrible nature to be honest, but perhaps Jolteon could make use of it. (Espeon is often relegated to switching in on hazards, so it helps the fox to have max HP in case of a misprediction.)

Ok i am breeding two pokemon both with perfect iv's should the offspring have perfect iv's?
Click to expand...

No, only three of the iv's will be perfect. How breeding works if you're not using any of the power items is that three iv's are randomly selected from the breeding partners and three are randomly generated.

Well I've been wanting to atleast battle a select few pokemon so I could trade for them through the GTS. Without having them in the Pokedex, you can't search them in the GTS so I'm wondering, can you battle every Pokemon in the game in White version?


I don't have black version or anyone around me who does so I can't do the black forest link I don't believe.


I'm looking for lots of Pokemon, but some of the select are:


Gible
Aron
Bagon


Battle or catch, without using black.
 
is it normal that a pkmn using stone edge on a rocky helmet (item) pkmn doen't take any damage or is it just a PO bug ?
 
yep, its normal, since Stone Edge is not a contact move and rocky helmet/iron barbs damage the pokemon only on those (contact) moves.
