Okay, so typing has nothing to do with Counter. Does anyone know if Counter affects Ghosts though?

Thanks! :)
It's a variable. Look through the binoculars for a higher chance of seeing it in a particular area, then go to that area. Stay in that area, and you should find it after a few random encounters.
Is Sceptile considered a physical, special, or mixed sweeper?
That would depend on its moveset.
So it can be all three?
I just was wondering what kind of capabilities it has. So it has a wide physical and special movepool and about equal in Special Attack and Attack?

hold L, R, Start, and Select at the same time.
Sceptile has the following base stats:
70/85/65/105/85/120 Speed Last
In other words, yea, it can be either a physical or special attacker. Generally, I'd want to take advantage of the higher attack stat (especially when that stat is 20 points higher than the other). But you have some great moves if you go physical (swords dance in paticular, focus punch, x-scissor, rockslide).
I wouldn't foget about it's signature move, Leaf Blade, if you go physical.
I find when you chose to move an item, it goes faster.
It doesn't really matter, as the boosts are applied in stages. CSpecs would have salamence's sp. atk. at +1, while draco meteor would lower it to -1.
Grovyle/Sceptile --> Ttar is the first way that comes to mind.
Just a quick question: can Focus Punch attack first if you outspeed your opponent?
I'm pretty sure the charging (or "tightening its focus") always goes first, and the actual hit always goes last (or at least has a negative speed modifier), so I think that even if you outspeed your opponent, your attack will be going after (unless he uses something like Counter or Mirror Coat).
Not 100% sure though, can anybody confirm?
Can a Tank Starmie work? 85 base in both defenses, Cosmic Power, Recover, decent speed to pull off at least one Cosmic Power before it's attacked, OK typing, and the ability to boltbeam seems like it would make a fine tank =/
Maybe it's just me. I mean, is it the low base HP? Noir has base 45 and still works, and it doesn't even get Cosmic Power =/

@ Tweezers: Ah, well, that sounds about right, but if anyone can confirm, that'd be wonderful. Thanks for your help.
