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.

Error in Math:
It's 8 Attack per 'karp, times 6. It should be 48 Attack, not 42.
 
Wouldn't something Like Salamence with Thunder Fang/Aerial Ace/Brick Break/Rock Slide or Stone Edge be a good Anti-Antilead? Effectively takes advantage of Breloom/Weavile/Yanmega/Gyarados' 4x weaknesses.

Even better, Aerodactyl, it outruns Weavile. Would Rock Smash be a good peplacement for Brick Break?

Ah, so you got what I was thinking, hmm? Yeah, that looks like it takes care of a lot...
EDIT- Aerodactyl is good too. Weirdly, I was thinking about Electrode... He outspeds everybody 'cept Ubers and Ninjask.

Lol, non-DD Mence as a counter to Weaville makes me laugh.
 
Do I need to level a Shroomish up to level 45 for it to learn Spore, or can I evolve it at level 23, and then learn it using the move relearner? Becuase Breloom does not learn it, only Shroomish.

I suppose it would be good against Gyarados and Breloom, but I can see trouble with Weavile and Yanmega, but only a bit.

Weavile's already fast enough to seriously damage Mence with a 1st turn Ice Punch.

Yanmega uses Protect, BAM! It's already faster than Salamence, assuming Mega has Speed Boost.

Still, I can see why you'd say that, as they can get major damage onto them early on, but I for one wouldn't risk it.

Would Aerodactyl's Rock Smash be able to KO Weavile? Since it lowers defense and gets quadrupled to 160...plus it could deal with Tyranitar.

how much more does a power bracer, anklet, etc. then just using a macho brace? Is it 3 to 2, or what?
Click to expand...

Pokerus + Power Item + 1 EV: 10 EVs
Pokerus + Macho Brace + 1EV: 4 EVs


Pokerus + Power Item + 2 EV: 12 EVs
Pokerus + Macho Brace + 2EV: 8 EVs


Pokerus + Power Item + 3 EV: 14 EVs
Pokerus + Macho Brace + 3EV: 12 EVs

Macho Brace acts as an EV multiplier, multiplying any gained EV's while attached by 2.

The Power items are adders, adding four of that items EV any time you battle, even when that Ev doesn't correspond to the item.

Simple:
Macho Brace (EVx2)

Power Items (EV+4 of items EV)
 
The damage calculator says Rock Smash will do... 242 to 284 damage! Enough to 2HKO Weavile definetly, though I don't know about OHKO.

Metalkid's says it will always 2HKO, but I assume with Life Orb it'd be an OHKO. Too bad it's a lead so it can't get wish support. How much would it do with Expert belt of Muscle Band?
 
Of course, this is off the assumption you don't run into a Celebi/ Skarm/ Another Bronzong >.>

I don't even think I need Grass Knot seeing as two other party members use it, might as well go with Flash Cannon .-.
