I just need to know, where the hell do you find Drifloon, Serebii says near the Wind Mills on Friday at daytime, but I went through that grass for an hour and couldn't find him. Any help would be appreciated.
It doesn't appear in the grass. It should be visible on-screen, like with legendaries, in the Valley Windworks on Friday afternoons. There is only one per week, though. Hope this helps.
Drifloon has an overworld sprite, like Sudowoodo at Emerald.
Ok thanks guys, I would have thought he was at night, but damn Serebii says day time. I'll check for him at night then. Thanks again.
It works in the daytime too. The first time I caught him it was 1:00pm
what better for Weezing Flamethrower or Fire blast
can aqua ring and leech seed type things be baton passed?
If a pokemon fights, pokerus will spead. The pokerus doesnt have to fight, though. But, I like to put a pokerus inbetween two uninfected pokemon, so that it spreads fast. And having a pokemon enter battle spreads it. You may have to do a battle more than once though. And also, you dont have to finish it.
Nope. Only Pokerus/Macho Brace doubles EV's.
oh ok thanks
You don't get STAB for Flamethrower, so go with Fire Blast. You want as much damage as possible at once, and 85% is not too shabby for a base 120.
What's the best way to build a 2v2 Rain Dance Ludicolo?
Modest or Bold? Swift Swim or Rain Dish?
I'm leaning towards Bold with Rain Dish. It'll take hits better, allowing it to put up Rain Dance more often.
The team is slow-paced, with Lapras, Vaporeon, Lanturn, Swampert, Gyarados, and Ludicolo. The idea is to start with Vaporeon and Ludicolo, put up Rain Dance while Vaporeon does whatever, then switch into Lapras, using the Rain boosted Surf to heal one another. Vaporeon Baton Passes into appropriate counters for whatever they send, most notably Lanturn and Swampert for electric attacks with Gyarados and Ludicolo walling grass.

Weather teams generally aren't that good when they are also mono teams. To use a weather team effectively you don't necessarily need everyone to be able to use a STAB water move/thunder.
You may want to consider Toxicroak as a possible addition to the team...
It has the ability Dry Skin, which means it heals 1/16th HP per turn in rain, and it functions as Water Absorb, healing itself instead of taking damage from any water attack. Plus, it'll add up a bit of variety to your mono-water team. Unless you really want to have your whole team as Water-Types only, I'd heavily suggest Toxicroak.
Roserade can also work well in Rain Dance. It can learn Weather Ball, and in Rain Dance, it becomes a Base 100 Water type attack, which is very strong. It can also give you more coverage, seeing as you'll be able to effective use very strong Grass attacks, instead of having to rely on your Ludicolo to cause damage.
Roserade can learn Extrasensory (Psychic), Shadowball (Ghost), Leaf Storm (Grass), Sleep Powder (Good Status Inflicter), and a bunch of other sweet moves.
Well, actually, if your Pokemon has no EVs left in the stat, it'll tell you the berry has no effect and won't be used.
You won't need 11 of each berry unless each of your EVs are all 101 or over, which I doubt.
101 x 6 stats = 606 EVs, which is clearly over the 510 EV limit. It's impossible to need 11 x 6 berries = 66 stat reducing berries to clear a single Pokemon.
I don't like Toxicroak's typing, movepool, or stats. A very mediocre Pokemon.
Roserade is a good idea, but the idea is to have STAB Surf to heal Vaporeon and Lapras. Generally, nothing kills them in OHKO and if they heal 75% of their HP in the next volley, then it will take forever to kill them. If I see anything that's a huge problem, then I BP the Vaporeon for a counter.
@Loetke
Yawn targets the Pokemon as an upcoming status effect, much like Wish. If the one being Yawned BPs, then yes it should fall asleep on the next turn.
