If I have a Poliwag with the ability: Damp, will it evolve with that ability or is there a possibility that it might change to Water Absorb?

What moves does Technician boosts (wich base power) and by how much?

Technician boosts moves with 60 Base Power or less by 50% (Swift would have 90 BP).

Edit: :)

Boosts moves with 60 BP or less by 1.5

EDIT: FUCK YOU FAMILIAR TRAINER!!! Thats 2 times in under 5 minutes

 

[CZ]

what is the base power of pursuit if the opponent switches and if they dont switch?

40 Base Power if the Target does not switch (with STAB=60 base).

80 Base Power if the Target does switch (with STAB=120 base).

Chech the "Move Descriptions" Thread in the analysis subforum for more info.

Unless that Poliwag was migrated, it will keep it's current ability upon evolution.

if you are behind a sub, does that protect you from weather damage such as sandstorm/hail?

No.

Is that all it does? From the descriptions I've read, I was under the impression that it would cancel all abilities, including things like Pure Power and Steadfast.

Nope, it just disables abilities that lower your damage. If an ability can both raise and lower damage (Dry Skin with Water vs. Fire moves), the entire trait is still disabled, so if your Mold Breaker Pokemon uses Fire Blast on a Parasect, it will do less damage than usual. In 2v2, this disabling only occurs for the Mold Breaker Pokemon's attacks, if your partner uses EQ it still won't hit a Levitate Pokemon.

In Generation IV, is CH rate calculated the same way as Generation III?

Not quite. High CH rate moves CH less, for instance, and Focus Energy lets you CH more.

Also, for attacks that hit multiple times, like Rock Blast, does each hit have a chance of CH?

Yes.

If I have a Poliwag with the ability: Damp, will it evolve with that ability or is there a possibility that it might change to Water Absorb?

Only Pokemon traded over from ADV can change abilities upon evolution (or if you have like Rock Head Rhydon, it will evolve into Solid Rock Rhyperior if you evolved to Rhydon in DP).

Mmm, too bad my Wi-Fi isn't working. Now I have to hatch 4 eggs (at least) and then somehow get them to Lv. 50 so I can determinate their IV's? *sigh*

If you give each Gible 3 Rare Candy and 4 Carbos, then it should have 8, 10, or 11 in Speed, depending on its nature.

What level are dittos usually at in the wild in d/p??

 

[Fiyaaaah!]

How long does the effect of Foresight and Odor Sleuth last?

 

[milotic111]

How long does the effect of Foresight and Odor Sleuth last?

Till either you or the opponents switches (Not sure if the effects end if YOU switch though).

 

[twilightwolf90]

Should we make mark 6 yet?

Besides the point, does para reduce speed by 1/2 or by 3/4?

It reduces speed by 3/4.

Rain Dance adds 1.5 to water moves right? So basically is it like adding another STAB bonus?

Yes thats correct

 

[Lonewulf]

One more thing.. What's the easiest way to get Curse on Snorlax?

 

[ihcati]

Torterra learns it by level up, and can pass it to Lax.

sweet, Good thing I left Crunch / Curse on my In-game Torterra..

Does Belly Drum set attack to +6 or just raise it 6 stages?

 

[ihcati]

+6

 

[milotic111]

Does Belly Drum set attack to +6 or just raise it 6 stages?

It sets attack to +6, so even after 3 charms you'll end up with max attack.

 

[Burn Jack]

Thanks. Also, is there a Trainer Card Score formula anywhere?

 

[DEL337ED]

Question: is Naive a usable nature on Alakazam?

 

[Ikaeru]

I'd say so. Naive is minus sdef, and unless you're running CM build
(even then...), most anything that attacks you WILL kill you.

 

[Tailwind]

Quick question.

Are the AnnivSH Pokémon (French Shiny Starters from the first three gens, plus Zigzagoon and Poochyena) the real deal? I've been watching someone on another forum distribute them swearing up, down and sideways that they are legit.

The odd part: I checked the Pokémon France website. They mention nothing about these Pokémon. The only event 'event' they mention is the Manaphy code. Serebii doesn't have them listed on their event Pokémon page either.

Any insight on this would be lovely. Thanks.

They're at level 29 or 30. High enough to tell decently accurate IVs.
