1/(2^6)

That's all I can think of. As far as I know there aren't factors that influence ability passing-down

Question (Because "Look What I Bred" is going to slow):
Beldum - #374 (Adamant)
HP: 28
Att: 31
Def: 31
SpA: 8
SpD: 11
Speed: 12

Rebreed or not care about speed?

*Cough*

@AlphaNinja: No, it's never true. It's probably something a totaly noob made up to scare people to love their Gyarados or something. Who cares anyways? Gyarados isn't going to be using Return anytime soon.

steadfast is better anyways, and heres why: with inner focus you're preventing flinching from moves like Togekiss' Air Slash or Gyarados' Waterfall. With Steadfast, you flinch, but then your speed rises by 50%, allowing you to outspeed anything that matters on the next turn. Since in order to get flinched you have to be slower than your opponent, this speed boost allows you to possibly sweep the rest of your opponents pokemon, especially with all the physical and special options available to Lucario.

EX: Inner Focus

Turn 1:
Foe Togekiss used Air Slash!
Lucario used Close Combat!

EX: Steadfast

Turn 1:
Foe Togekiss used Air Slash!
Lucario flinched!

Turn 2:
Lucario used Close Combat!

Same results except now you get possible 420 speed stat with a neutral speed nature and 453 if you're running +speed nature.

Unless you're paralyzed, which if you're facing off against a Togekiss you will very likely be. And your speed boosts won't help you very much if you're dragged down by paralysis. By the time you get enough of them to make up for it, Lucario will very likely have gone down.

I know that but my Lucario is a Sword Dancer And I am using Salac Berry to get the speed boost. My lucario is able to take one super effective move. He can even take a flamethrower from infernape with the Ev spread Im using. So I don't need steadfast Salac is better. Plus i have extreme speed that can broom pretty well.

You're positive? and this is for a ReturnDDdos. It losing happiness to keep it at low happiness a lot really fits gyarados is why I was worried,, I probably wouldn't have believed it for anybody else. You're positive his happiness doesn't lower?

OK let me ask my simple question here, so I don't get scolded by a mod again :D

I want to use a "mixpert" to counter dragons. The Swampert analysis recommends a Relaxed nature but I'm using Quiet, because I don't feel like breeding for another nature. So with my +SpAtk nature, how many EVs does it take to reach 236 SpAtk, the magic number to OHKO a min HP/SpDef Salamence with Ice Beam?

And as a follow up, should I distribute the remaining EVs more into HP or Defense?

Oh, well then I guess it matters.

IIRC, if they're in the PC, then the happiness just doesn't raise.

Happiness can only lower by constant fainting and bitter herbs.

How costly is Sandstorm to your team when about one of them only benefit from it?
Click to expand...

You mean T-tar or what?

Pros:
Negates Leftover healing for opponent
Does some extra damage, which is always good
Sand Veil

Cons:
Negates your Leftovers
Sandstorm + Life Orb= Something not staying for long
Hurts 5 of your other guys

Yeah, kind of a double-edged sword in your situation.

Not T-Tar. I really like using him, but he's very OU and it annoys me that about everyone uses him nowadays. I wish my favorites weren't classified as OU so others wouldn't use them as much. But I was thinking about having Hippowdon on my team. I guess I'll have to think this through throughly.
 
What's a good team in the uber metagame that doesn't use ubers? as you can guess I'm going to game stop but I really dislike ubers so I wanted to know if I could play successfully without them. Also if I can't whats a good team in the uber metagame?

The Aurora Ticket was distributed at Pokemon Rocks America, so Deoxys from Kanto can generally be considered legal. However, since they were not distributed after Emerald was released, Deoxys from Hoenn are not legal.

Dammit, that sucks, now I have to find another Deoxys. I got one, but it's from Hoenn.
 
If i was to trade for a Salamence with wish, what would the summary of the pokemon look like you know......OT,ID#,date met,place met etc.

can anyone help me with my dilemma. I wanna know before I start trading for wishmence.
 
Wish Salamence will have OT PCNYd and its ID will be 00018 and it will be from Hoenn. Date met will be whatever date that person loaded it to pal park.
 
My question:

What is it that makes people want to make stupid ass things like a PHYSICAL SWEEPER Palkia?

Serebii wiFi chat never ceases to annoy me...
