if soothe bell increases happiness then does return get stronger?
If you have soothe bell attached in a battle, Return wont get stronger during that battle.
I'm trying to battle on my recently won PBR. When I search for an opponent, sometimes I can battle, sometimes a message comes up "There are Pokemon that cannot enter this battle set to the Battle Pass"
What's wrong? I don't have any bad eggs in my box or anything. I've battled a few times, but this message is annoying.
Nintendo *reportedly* banned ubers from random wifi battles because of people spamming wifi with ubers.
Why would you have Sleep Talk on a Choice-equipped Heracross? I'm thinking the Choice Item should theoretically lock someone into Sleep Talk, but I'm not sure of that.
Browsing pldh.net's tier list, I come across an interesting observation... Slowking is MU while Slowbro is OU? Now I've been wondering why. They have similar stats except their defense/sp.def has been switched.
Sleep Talk on Choice Band Heracross is to absorb sleep move for sleep clause and then abuse the Guts boost.
Slowking is UU/BL only because of its typing. It has the exact same stats as milotic which is OU, bar speed. It has 5 weaknesses instead of milotics 2, 3 of those weaknesses being very common (lightning, dark, ghost). This makes it harder for Slowking to absorb attacks. Slowbro's higher defense helps to compensate for this. Slowking's low speed is actually an asset because of trick room, which is standard on slowking. Trick Room + Nasty Plot = Slowking sweep ftw lol.
At any rate, I'd still like to know if there's a list somewhere of which items have effects in battle and aren't just for utility/decoration/experience etc. Like, the power items are for experience, but they still cut speed in half, right?

List: Hold items. Only Amulet Coin, Exp Share, Lucky Incense, Lucky Egg, Cleanse Tag, Contest Scarves dont meet your criteria.
Stonerchris, the idea that DP is a hard and fast is a fallacy, the DP metagame is actually fat and slow and keeps going way after your ready to stop. Most standard teams have a bunch of walls with one or two sweepers.
My Question: should I change my avatar? I thought it was funny when I saw it, but now I dont know.
