Can anybody recall all the moves/abilities that prevent escape?

I remember mean look, block, magnet pull, and shadow tag, but IIRC there are more than just those...

Fire Spin, Sand Tomb.

And Calm Mind boosts Special Defense. It's Special Defense is already good enough as it is for getting a +50% boost, so the extra 30 EVs go in Sp.Att so it's offensive capabilities are a bit better so you aren't hopeless if you're left with only Bronzong.

Ok, how well does this fare against Specsmence and common electrics though? (Maybe to a lesser extent Heracross)

 

[Ben2749]

How many layers of Spikes can be laid down? And how much damage does each do? I forget...

 

[Captain Awesome]

Three on both sides, six in total.

 

[Andren]

How many layers of Spikes can be laid down? I forget...

3 layers max. I believe that's 25% damage to all non-Flyers/Levitaters

 

[Blue_Flamez]

3, dealing 25% each time your opponent switches

EDIT: Beaten

Thanks.

Hmm, I've yet to see it OHKOd by anything, but it can't really touch Magnezone. It hands down owns SpecsMence if you've Calm-Minded a few times. It'll OHKO Heracross after a few CMs with a STAB Psychic.

And how many layers of Stealth Rocks can you lay down?

 

[General Tso]

Wait, so it can take Stab'd electric attacks then? And HP Grass/Ices?

 

[Andren]

And how many layers of Stealth Rocks can you lay down?

Only 1

12.5% for normal damage, I believe. Hits everything. It will multiply according to normal type-matchups, though.

Knew the type-matchups part.

So, for a Utility Forretress, Spikes or Stealth Rock?

What level is Rotom when you first fight it?

What level is Rotom when you first fight it?

Lv15. Kinda pathetic.

 

[SamuraiPanda]

If I poisoned something at 100% HP that I didn't do any extra damage to and it doesn't switch out, how many turns would it take to faint?

 

[Andren]

Is PokeRus a timer (like, you only get 24 hours outside of the box) or a countdown-type thing (like, it becomes unspreadable at midnight)?

In addition to PokeRus Timer/Countdown question, I have this:

Gyarados holding a Power Bracer (ATK), infected with PokeRus, fighting a Magikarp.

Would I get 8 ATK, 2 SPD?

Another question, during the PokeRus infection battle (where the infected Pokemon gains PokeRus) are the EV's doubled then, or only after the battle?

Need both of these answered for training.

16.

Like, Toxic-ed, or regular poisoning?

I think it's like 8 for Toxic, probably around x2 more for regular.

Stealth Rock cuz it hits everything.

Pokerus stays contact when in the box. When the timer rolls over for the second time out of the box, Pokerus is gone. You still get the effects.

Gyrados + Power Bracer + Magikarp + Pokerus = 8 attack, 2 speed.

If you're fighting Fisherman Andrew, 42 Attack, 12 Speed.

Confirming 8 for Toxic...

Nice. My tally pen is probably going to run out of ink, though.

 

[SamuraiPanda]

Oh yeah, I meant to say toxic, thanks.

 

[Zacharian]

Hmmm... What are the common leads?
