Shedinja doesn't really have a base HP of 1. It is actually just set to always be 1, so don't even include that.
Stat calc:
((2xBase + EVs/4 + IV) x Lvl / 100 + 5) x nature

HP:
((2xBase + EVs/4 + IV + 100) x Lvl / 100 + 10)

Davy: Timid is also pretty good if you aren't scarfing it.
Go for 31 speed and fairly high SAtk, and decent defenses and HP.

Worked like a charm, thanks.
 
Um, if I want an Uber battle. But I only use one Uber it's till an Uber battle right? I'm using an Uber. So, yeah? Do Uber battles have to plain out be Ubers or can it be Ubers versus non-Ubers?
 
I noticed that Aerodactyl can learn stealth rock and I was wondering if there were any sets with stealth rock. I do need a stealth rocker on my team. So?

Aerodactyl's not meant to SR. There are better guys like Swampert, Skarmory, Forretress, Bronzong and Donphan....

Aerodactyl should sweep with Choice Band. Don't use him as a Stealth Rocker.

What natures are good for Kyogre (besides Modest)?

And what IVs should I aim for on one?

Is this Bold Kyogre any good?

HP: 20 - 22
Att: 12 - 15
Def: 23 - 24
SpA: 20 - 22
SpD: 29 - 31
Speed: 29 - 31

Timid is a good alternative to Modest. I'd go for better Special Attack and HP...
 
Does the Synchronize ability affect subs? Say my opponent sets up a sub and I switch in Alakazam holding Flame Orb. If and when the orb activates, will Synchronize affect the pokemon behind the sub?
 
Is using pokesav to check your eggs on EV's etc cheating (so you just hatch the ones that are worth it)? You don't mess with the probabilities of getting a good pokémon. You're only speeding up the process i suppose.

Whenever any device outside of your game assists in the creation of a pokemon you're cheating. Period.

So, if you put another Pokemon to sleep with Psycho Shift accidentally during Sleep Talk, you would lose?

In battling venues that enforce Sleep Clause, Psycho Shift would fail. If there is a rule of Sleep Clause but it's not automatically enforced, then yes, you lose by DQ.

As long as the attack would be 60 BP or less, then yes. So Pursuit will do 80 BP if they don't switch out, and 120 BP if they do.

No. First off, technician is a 50% boost. So it has 40 power if they don't switch normally, meaning it would essentially be 60 power if they don't switch. If they do switch, it has 80 power, which is over 60, so it has 80 power if they switch.

Modest is by far the best nature for Kyogre. If you are giving it a Choice Scarf, however, you may want Timid or Modest. Quiet is probably the second best nature for non-Scarf Kyogre. Bold would be the third best, I'd say. Those IVs are decent. Not stellar, but decent.

A single uber means it's an uber team. Just like you can use Pidgeot on an OU team if you desire, it's still an OU team if you have Salamence.

My Alakazam used Taunt, so my opponent's Bronzong's Hypnsosis failed.

The following turn, I used Encore, so he had to use Hypnosis. However, these 2 things happened:
1: It wasn't Taunted; Hypnosis still put me to sleep
2: Alakazam had the Synchronize ability, but it did not make Bronzong fall asleep.

I don't know if the first part was supposed to happen, since none of the Research threads seemed to have anything about Encore forcing the activation of a Taunted move or not. I am confused about the second part though; is it supposed to be that way, or is it a problem with Shoddy Battle (that's where I did this).

Should I ask this in the research thread?

Also, sleep and freeze is not synchronised. Only burns, paralysis and poison is sychronised.

Oops. Ok then, ignore the second part.
 
This is my first post in this community, and I'm new to competitive battling.

I have bred a jolly sneasel with pursuit/Ice Punch with these IV's: 11/30/1/14/31/31.

Is this good enough or should I keep breeding? My understanding is that this thing is not built to take hits so the 1 in defense should not matter, however this also makes his perfect 31 special defense irrelevant.

Also, can I baton pass a mean look to a Ninjask, and then baton pass it to another pokemon?

Thanks,
DaveJ

The perfect Speed and near perfect Attack are good. This is what I would call "good enough". You have 30-31 in the two stats that matter.

Also, can I baton pass a mean look to a Ninjask, and then baton pass it to another pokemon?

Yes. Mean Look's effects are Baton Passed.

I asked this earlier, but it was kind of masked inside my other question. What is the % chance of OHKO'ing skarmory with a STAB'd thunderbolt off of 236 special attack?
 
Gaia Online is full of amateur AR hackers trading fakes but people there claim Darkrai is out in the US, is this true? Or is it another scam from the suicidal perverts there?
 
Darkrai is not out in US as of now. Only Jap Darkrais are legit as far as I know.

Is Belly Drum/Aqua Jet Azumarill legal? Both are egg moves
 
Is speed important at all in a Cursing Mamoswine? I'm currently breeding for one and I'd rather not care about speed if it's not really important. It's not about to outspeed anything anyway.
