It's difficult to decide on physical or special. Special secures you from fire moves and Focus Blast, but physical saves you from Flare Blitz, which basically is the only strong physical fire move. If you have rocky helmet, go physical. If you have lefties, go special.What EV spread is everyone using for Ferrothorn at the moment? I was thinking of investing more in defense for stuff like Azumarill but I'm not really sure.
If you trade a mon, its happiness is reset. You must max out the happiness again for Return to work like you want it to.is return not automatically 102 on battlespot ranked?
+4 252 (31 iv att) jolly mega kanghaskhan return failed to KO mega garchomp.
Even assuming impish max ev investment, its a OHKO:
+4 252 Atk Parental Bond Mega Kangaskhan Return vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Mega Garchomp: 477-562 (113.5 - 133.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
I traded over a kanghaskhan to another game, and then went to ranked battle. i used power up punch twice, and I definitely got all 4 boosts to kill a walrein.
next turn he sends out chomp. he megaevolves, and I use +4 return. does about 90% damage. wtf
it also failed to 2hko gyarados (it had rock helmet) when it wasn't intimidated, because i switched in after it killed my aegislash.
assuming max investment:
252 Atk Parental Bond Mega Kangaskhan Return vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Gyarados: 204-243 (51.7 - 61.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
that is assuming max impish 252/252 hp/df however, it wasnt even close. 1 return did about 40 percent damage, still well in the green. I forgot how much it had left after the second return, but it didnt KO.
Sludge Wave>Sludge Bomb.Hey I am looking to making my Nidoking...
I need help on the final moveslot.
Earth Power
Sludge Bomb
Ice Beam
Now... Either Fire Blast or Thunderbolt?
Sorry I meant Wave. % to poison is obviously pointless.Sludge Wave>Sludge Bomb.
The last slot can go to either one of the two, depending on what your team has trouble with. Fire Blast roasts Ferrothorn, Forretress, and Scizor, while Thunderbolt hits bulky waters and has great neutral coverage with Ice Beam.
It can do a Dynamicpunch set, though personally I feel like a Hammer Arm/Earthquake/Shadow Punch/filler set is a bit better. Iron Fist Hammer Arm is more powerful than No Guard Dynamicpunch.What's a good moveset for Golurk if you don't use any of its move tutor moves from BW2? Severely limiting, I know, but is there anything useable?
Also, how viable is choice scarf Bouffalant? If also using max investment it outspeeds up to max speed base 105s I think, which is pretty decent. And his attack can easily reach a higher level with sap sipper.
Bulbapedia has the sprites for all previous gens. If you need a sprite sheet I can't help you, but any given Pokemon's Bulbapedia page should have all of its various sprites.Where can I find good sprites for gens 1-6? The site I was previously using isn't working anymore...
Yeah but they're too big...Bulbapedia has the sprites for all previous gens. If you need a sprite sheet I can't help you, but any given Pokemon's Bulbapedia page should have all of its various sprites.
Talonflame has priority Brave Bird and can't be burnt, resists both the stabs and the other common moves it runs. Also it takes 50% from Stealth Rocks.What is a good check/counter for Volcarona? I am wondering if I should use the one I used in BW2 metagame. I'm speaking of a traditional set with Quiver Dance etc. Thank you for your input (hope I'm in the right place for this question).
From what I understand, Smogon's major tiers follow the Species Clause, which bars you from using two Pokemon that share a National Dex number. But... I don't actually think that Species Clause bars you from using two different evolutions of the same line...One thing I keep forgetting. Can you use different Pokemon evolutions on the same team? like use both Porygon2 and PorygonZ?
Speaking of PorygonZ, what ability is better for a Nasty Plot set, Adaptability or Download? And Timid or Modest?
Yes you can. As mentioned, species clause bars using two Pokemon with the same Pokedex number. You cannot use Deoxys-A and Deoxys-S or Rotom washing machine and Rotom oven on the same team, but you may use Wartortle and Blastoise or, as you mentioned, P2 and P-Z.One thing I keep forgetting. Can you use different Pokemon evolutions on the same team? like use both Porygon2 and PorygonZ?

http://pokemonshowdown.com/dex/ has all fifth generation sprites and the XY sprites we're making by hand. If that's not what you're looking for, there's always Serebii, Veekun, or Bulbapedia.Where can I find good sprites for gens 1-6? The site I was previously using isn't working anymore...
No.When using super training, does Pokerus or an item like macho brace do anything to speed up the EV gains?
Also no.Is there anyway to get Hidden power fire with either the special attack or speed at 31?
"Deoxys"=Deoxys-NI'm a little confused by the Gen 6 banlist - it says Deoxys and Deoxys-A are banned from OU. Is "Deoxys" the same as Deoxys-N, and does this mean Deoxys-D and Deoxys-S are allowed in XY OU?
