Scizor. Just watch out for fire. Ouch.

Striker- What is the function of this Toxicroak? Sweeper, statuser, etc. You may want to go with 269/Choice Scarf, which is what most CS Heracross run (and it outspeeds all non-ubers, except for Shedinja, Electrode, and other Scarf users)

EDIT: No, Luminous. Why would they? Do flying types avoid Sandstream? No.

See... I don't want to invest 252 Speed EVs and use a Choice Scarf...

I don't need to outrun EVERYTHING but other scarf users and Shedinja/Electrode.

I need to know what use comes out of either having a Jolly or Adamant Toxicroak.

Obviously enough, I don't need to outrun Timid Alakazams, Sucker Punch is priority. I merely have to outrun OU users of Flying and Ground type attacks and be able to KO them. I probably don't need to outrun Jolly Garchomps though... It's evident enough that a base attack barely over 100 will be able to 1HKO.
 
You're using all three? Damn... 3 Walls on a team?

Leftovers on one of them, Light Clay if any of them know Reflect/Light Screen, Zoom Lens on Bronzong if he knows Hypnosis or any other 70% or so accuracy move, Muscle Band/Expert Belt on Dusknoir if he knows EQ + T-Punch or somthing of the like.

all 3 are in the team but Starmie is more of SpAtk. And what better to use leftover Bronzong, or Dusknoir
 
1) Are multi-hit moves decreased in 2v2 by 20% of the original BP? Or some other percentage?

2) Does Will-o-Wisp have an increasing amount of burn damage? Ex. A Toxic, but with fire instead of poison.

3) With Swift Swim, is the Speed stat doubled in rain?
 
I have a question, are pokemon with the item shed shell able to switch out if they use ingrain?
 
I heard from a few people that Shadow Tag doesn't work on Mesprit and Cresselia. Is this true? If so, will they try to flee again after Wobbuffet switches out?
 
I'm wanting to get a mantine with a beneficial nature in Spdef, I've breed 2 Mantykes and am wondering Should I keep one of these 2, or keep on breeding.

Mantyke#1
sassy
Strongly defiant
Water absorb

Mantyke#2
Calm
Alert to sounds
Water absorb

pooch use a calculator ffs.

The only calculator I could find was Metalkid's, but as that's from last gen, you cannot input the calculation even manually, since there was no such thing as a special fighting attack back then. Sorry. Someone earlier asked which other damage calculators there were, but noone replied to him.

Metalkid has a D/P damage calculator. It's not quite complete, lacking such items as the choice specs (and I'd recommend using the Override option because I suspect that some of the move data is incorrect), but it works quite well, and will get you the information you seek.

Then just use the formula for damage combined with Serebii's Pokedex's max-stat data.

If you're using Specs then all you need to do is multiply your Sp. Atk stats by 1.5 before putting it in the calc, because that's all they do.
 
To get this annoying question out of my system, on average how many Max IV should I good breeding mother have? I'm using one with two Max IV stat(Attack and Speed) but I don't know if it's really that good.

My gut feeling say 2-3 but I just want to be sure.
 
Anyone have suggestions for getting Black Sludge. I've been trying to catch a Croagunk in the Safari Game for hours but none of them have it. I've even tried putting a poke with Compound Eyes in front, but still nothing.

Sounds like a luck issue. Try asking people in the Serebii WiFi Chat to trade you? That would probably work.

Meh, trading would be an admission that I've failed. I don't wanna give up, just get some pointers if I'm doing it wrong. Thanks for the suggestion tho.

If you're just starting out, that's good. Later, you pick the highest defense/hp/sdef ones and breed those so you can take some hits.
