How does Sucker Punch work with moves that:

Charge: Skull Bash/Sky Attack
Avoid: Fly/Dig/Dive/Shadow Force
Predict: Future Sight/Doom Desire

These don't see use often, but could they stop Sucker Punchers?

I'll assume they work the same with Taunt. Is this correct?
 
Where does one download dpbot? I have been having trouble with shoddybattle, and I have heard that this is worthy of consideration. I found the "How to Play" guide posted a while back, but it never mentioned where to get the Bot itself...

You don't download it. You download the chat client mIRC and use it to get to the channel where the bots are hosted.

The analysis wasn't very helpful with EVs. Anyway, how about Bold, 252 HP / 98 SpAtk / 160 SpDef?

No, you could get better overall defenses by doing 252 HP / 144 Def / 96 SpAtk / 16 SpDef with a Calm nature.

The turn they hit is counted as the attack. Sucker Punch fails on the turn they charge.

Avoid: Fly/Dig/Dive/Shadow Force
Same as the above.

Predict: Future Sight/Doom Desire

This one I'm not sure of. It will either work on the turn you use the move or not work at all (I'm leaning toward the second). I'll repost this one to the research thread.

Not sure what you mean by that. None of those are blocked by Taunt, if that's what you're asking.

Can a defensive Cresselia with a modest nature work because I really don't want to trade for one?

Yeah, it can work, but your stats will be significantly lower. Cresselia's defensive stats are just so much higher than its Special Defense that the +10% from a nature goes a lot further on a defense (generally Special Defense) than Special Attack.

Thanks. I meant that I figured that Taunt would prevent the use of everything Sucker Punch failed against.
 
What would be the best final move to use on this Forretress?;

Forretress
nature: Impish
EVs: 252HP / 162 ATK / 96 DEF

Move 1: Spikes
Move 2: Stealth Rock
Move 3: Earthquake
Move 4: ???

It's a tie between Gyro Ball and Explosion for me, but I don't know whether to go for STAB support or for a final rush after he's served his purpose?
 
PokeRus doesn't affect the boost from the Power Item, right?

You'd get 6 EVs from fighting a Pokemon that gives 1 EV (with PokeRus and Power item), not 10 EVs. Is this correct?

Is there a trainer in diamond who has a hitmonchan that i can get for my dex?

No but if you use the VS Seeker on Route 208/211 you can find Tyrogue which can evolve into Hitmonchan if Tyrogue's I think Defense stat is higher than its Attack stat.

I thought it was:

Higher attack=hitmonchan
Higher defence=hitmonlee
Equal=hitmontop.
 
What happens when this goes down:

SalaMance uses Draco Meteor and Shuckle takes damage
Shuckle uses knock off and removes the Choice Specs

Next turn, can the Salamance now use Earthquake, or does it have to switch before it can do a different move?
