Hm...looks like a keeper to me but just to make sure, feed it some rare candy and check the IV calculator again.

LoL, it's odd getting advice from somebody with youn name since my Togekiss's nickname is GotheKiss. Go figure. :\

Anyway, I only have 3 RC, so I will just let it sit in the daycare for a bit, and....

Ok, so I'm deciding on wheter to make my Tangrowth a Special Attacker or a Physical one. I guess it comes down to Power Whip vs. Grass Knot. I'm intending him to be a Gyarados counter if that helps. What's a good moveset for either one?

Also, does it matter if I have 2 mixed attackers, 3 physical, and 1 special?

Would Gallade be a good statusizer and a physical sweeper? Or can it only handle being one of those things?

Also, is Gliscor just a Hercross counter, or is it a good physical wall too?

Well...it looks good to me, keep it. IMO I would wishing the sp.atk and def ad swithed places but it's still all good.


Is it theriocal possible to catch and/or breed a pokemon with 31 IV on all it's stats?
 
Yea, no kiddin. I'll do 5 more eggs, then I will move on to Larvatar. Getting that will take a -long- time because I have to breed for Gender first. I'll be going with a CB set, I guess.
 
What details should I look for if I'm checking the legitimacy of a 10th Anniversary Celebi?

Trainer Gender is, I guess, my main question at the moment.

Gallade, IMO, is best when used as a combonation of sorts. Status enemys first, then attack later. I run T-Wave, as Gallades speed is horrendous. Plus, it nevers hurts when the rest of your team doesn't need to rely as much on speed.

Gliscor is a good physical wall. He gets so much praise because he can counter Heracross though, which is something that is very tough to do.

Now for my question. I've read that a Expert Belt boosts all attacks by 20%, but the description says that it boosts SE attacks. Which is true? Also, does the Muscle Brace only boost physical attacks by 10%, like Wise Glasses? I'm trying to come up with a item for my Swords Dance Weavile.

Expert Belt boosts SE moves by 20%. Muscle Band, like Wise Glasses, only increases 10%, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Swords Dance Weavile seems more like a Focus Sasher, imo.
 
I was thinking Focus Sash, but he's gonna be more of a late game sweeper than anything. Plus FS gets screwed over by Sandstorm/Stealth Rock/Spikes. I may use it for Battle Tower though, since he is guarenteed to survive, and if they don't attack on the first turn, he gets a "get out of jail free" card later on.

Now that I just typed that, I'm going to use it. I'm going to hax Battle Tower!
 
Generally, on this set which nature would be better?

Alakazam
move 1: Trick
move 2: Psychic
move 3: Focus Blast
move 4: Grass Knot / Hidden Power Fire
item: Choice Specs
ability: Synchronize
nature: Timid / Modest
evs: 4hp/252spatk/252spd

Timid or Modest?
 
on the analysis of blissey, every moveset that has special attacks suggests 104 or 108 sp atk EVs. any reason for these particular numbers?
 
When exactly are the nature and IVs of a runner-legendary calculated in DP? When you first speak to it and it starts running around, or when you first actually encounter it in battle?

Absolutely!

They're completely random, so it's an easy 1 in 1,073,741,824 chance to catch one! If you caught one poke per minute, it would take on average about 2042 years.

How old are you? If more than about -1942 years, then might I suggest the breeding FAQ combinations list:

http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20650

Where you could narrow your chances down to the sub-1:200,000 range. ^_^

It's possible, but probable is another story. For breeding you'd need at least one parent to have a perfect 31 IV, but even if both parents have perfect 31 IVs in all stats and you passed 3 IVs from the parents with no overlap, the odds of the other 3 stats being 31s is about 0.000030517578125% assuming a perfectly random number generator. For a wild Pokemon, odds start at a hot 0.000000000931322574615478515625%.

EDIT: lol pwned by 9 minutes =(
