I have one question which is very simple. Where do i find Focus Punch (TM01)?

 

[ihcati]

In the Tunnel next to Jubilife where you get Rock Smash. Use Rock Smash on the rocks, and go in the basement. Its in here, but you need surf.

 

[Pyropuncher]

If your going to be using Ninjask as a BPer then why give it attack and not HP. HP will probably let it stay in another turn which gives you an extra Swords dance.

 

[ihcati]

So you can actually hurt stuff with X-Scissor.

 

[Jigglychu]

Gahh! Why can Starmie learn Dream Eater if it can't learn anything that puts the opponent to sleep??

 

[endlesswhite]

I'm pretty new to the metagame, but why do so many people think giga impact on slaking is such a bad idea, especially if it's a guaranteed kill?

Mainly because you can't switch out after using it, risking being set up upon.

 

[Jigglychu]

Because of its ability, can Torkoal use Overheat unlimited?

 

[Robo Mike]

Nope, that only prevents opponent's stat downs from working.

 

[ihcati]

Nope, White Smoke only prevents Stat reduction from opponents, not himself.

 

[Iron Thorn]

I'm wondering if I should run the mixed or special-only Infernape set, because except for my Wishpassing Togekiss and a possible special attack on my Bronzong, all my team is physical-based.

Secret Power can cause sleep if used in Waterfall or Sunny Park Colosseums in PBR, or if used in grass/tall grass in D/P. It (Dream Eater) is also an effective move against Rest pokemon.

What is the best place for sp def evs that also gives a small amount of exp. This is so my Cresselia can get 252 sp def evs while staying on level 50.

Im tempted to go to route 201 with the power item on but is there a better way?

 

[SNX7]

I'm wondering if I should run the mixed or special-only Infernape set, because except for my Wishpassing Togekiss and a possible special attack on my Bronzong, all my team is physical-based.

The only difference is do you want to hit dragons or Blissey? The Mix'd set runs Close Combat to hit Blissey, the special set runs HP Ice over Close Combat to hit dragons.

 

[Iron Thorn]

Well I'll be running Gyro Ball on my Bronzong and Ice Shard on my Donphan...

 

[Robo Mike]

Does Endure work when the Pokemon is already at 1 HP?

 

[Iron Thorn]

Yup.

Flippin' Bunearys...

 

[Robo Mike]

One more question...
How is Freeze Clause enforced? So haxing the opponent twice with Ice Beam is an automatic loss? Or does Netbattle / PBR prevent freezing when a guy is already frozen?

 

[Easton]

It can't be prevented on Wi-Fi battles. In PBR / Netbattle / Competitor, after one pokemon is frozen it will no longer Freeze another pokemon until that other pokemon is defrosted

 

[Dunk]

Is Lati@s with Soul Dew allowed in PBR?

???

 

[Calvin]

Where is the guy that can change your Pokemon's nicknames?

 

[Robo Mike]

Is Lati@s with Soul Dew allowed in PBR?

PBR Wifi used to be Anything Goes, but lately PBR and GTS got hit with a seemingly "No Legendary" ban. See other thread for info.

I don't know about offline though.

 

[Magicenforcer]

if a poke has exp share and pokerus, will it still get the 2x boost to EV's?

 

[Jigglychu]

Shell Bell- does it heal 1/8 max HP or 1/8 damage done?

 

[Iron Thorn]

Shell Bell- does it heal 1/8 max HP or 1/8 damage done?

1/8 Damage done.

I wonder, if you use a OHKO move on a Pokemon with full HP, if it heals 1/8 of that Pokemon's HP, or not at all.
