sorry if i asked this question before i didnt keep track but who is a better wallbreaker mix dragonite or mixmence
I've been trying out rain teams this gen, but every team I make has a weakness to at least one of these four pokemon: Rotom-Wash, Mega-Venusaur, Azumarill, and Ferrothorn. I decided to try and start a rain team by choosing one or two pokemon that can successfully deal with these four without losing too much momentum and then I'll add in my rain sweepers. The best I've come up with to deal with these four are Lati@s, Mega-Manetric, Mega-Ampharos, or Dragonite. Anyone else have any better ideas?
Outside of what you've already come up with: AV Conkeldurr can take Ro-dub and Ferrothorn. Mega Venu can take Ro-dub and Azumarill (and Ferro with HP Fire, but that won't go very well in the rain), though it doesn't like synthesis being weakened by rain. Banded Talonflame or Banded Staraptor can take Mega Venu; Banded Staraptor also checks Azumarill, while Banded Talonflame can deal with Ferrothorn though fails to OHKO physically defensive variants in the rain. There's no one thing really that can neutral all four of those threats at once, though, especially not in rain which boosts Ro-dub's hydro pump and Azumarill's water moves (meaning fewer things can safely switch into them) and makes fire less effective against Ferro.I've been trying out rain teams this gen, but every team I make has a weakness to at least one of these four pokemon: Rotom-Wash, Mega-Venusaur, Azumarill, and Ferrothorn.

If an opponent's ditto transforms into pinsir and that ditto doesn't have min happiness its frustration won't be max power. It will be min power if it has max happiness like most are set toWhy do people use frustration on pinsir instead of return?
Ok thanks that makes sense.If an opponent's ditto transforms into pinsir and that ditto doesn't have min happiness its frustration won't be max power. It will be min power if it has max happiness like most are set to
In defense of your curiosity though, it makes sense theoretically and certainly on PS or other online-only pokemon battle web sites since you can just set the friendship of your pokemon to 0. It does not make *as* much sense on a cartridge since it is generally easy to max friendship and friendship does not decay unless you take a deliberate action to decrease it (like feeding certain berries). Getting friendship to a level of 0 is rather annoying on a cartridge and there are a few ways to inadvertently increase it.Ok thanks that makes sense.
Just a nitpick, but the happiness should be brought down to 1 not 0. 0 can't be used to measure happiness, 1 is the lowest possible.In defense of your curiosity though, it makes sense theoretically and certainly on PS or other online-only pokemon battle web sites since you can just set the friendship of your pokemon to 0.

The easiest way is probably to use a Normal-type Friend Safari and hunt for wild Ditto. Put a pokemon with Synchronize at the front of your party (can be fainted) with a Nature that hinders Speed. All of the pokemon in FS are level 30, and a Speed-hindered Ditto with 0 Speed IVs has a Speed stat of 30. So send out a pokemon with a Speed stat of 31. If Ditto moves after your pokemon, then that Ditto has a 0 Speed IV. Actually, it can also be a Speed IV of 1, but it's close enough. (The IV Judge will tell you if any IV is 0 by saying something like "you will never get anywhere with a Speed like that!". But this method is quicker.)What's the easiest way to get 0 Speed IV mons for breeding?
Why are people using Zapdos in OU? It was one of the best defoggers in UU and I miss it. But in OU, isn't it outclassed offensively by Thundurus and defensively by Mandibuzz/Skarmory?
On that note, why is Latias being used?
What/who is the best pursuiter out there? I really would love to run a Mienshao, but that would require ghosts to die (HJK). Really, the only ghosts I need to worry about are Aegislash and Gengar, but if it can beat other less common ghosts out there, that would be awesome. I'm currently thinking about an Expert Belt Scizor, as Scizor's are known for being Choiced. The set I'm thinking of running is Bullet Punch/U-Turn/Aerial Ace/Pursuit. Is this a good idea? Are there better Pursuiters? Is my Scizor a good idea (does it lose out on too much power?)? Thanks!

Pokecheck is what people used to check their shiny values, but Nintendo released a patch that kinda made it not work anymore, so it's impossible to know your shiny value now unless someone comes up with an updated version of the Pokecheck that works with XY or something.How to you find out your shiny value, and is a high or low number better and is there any way to improve it?
Actually, pokecheck yet has to implement their 6th gen support. Instacheck was used in order to reveal hidden values.Pokecheck is what people used to check their shiny values, but Nintendo released a patch that kinda made it not work anymore, so it's impossible to know your shiny value now unless someone comes up with an updated version of the Pokecheck that works with XY or something.
I don't think high/low numbers are relevant with shiny values.
