@ Yggdrasil- Yeah, Gyro ball depends on base speed, not in game priority

Does Pursuit double damage when the opponent used Baton pass?
 
Isn't it possible to breed a good clefairy in Emerald and trade it FR/LG teach it Softboiled and Pal Park it while praying it turns to Magic Guard?
 
To infect a pokemon with Pokerus do you need to have the pokemon who needs to be infected leading when battling with another pokemon in the party having Pokerus?

It doesn't matter who has it and who's battling, they just have to be one slot from each other. They could be five and six in your order and the pokerus will spread.
 
I got Manaphy from the event today and have been SR for a good one. I just got this one:
Impish
HP: 31
Att: 12 - 13
Def: 26 - 27
SpA: 26 - 27
SpD: 26 - 27
Speed: 12 - 13
And I started to think: Is Manaphy capable of being a tank? Could he make use of calm mind and other supporting moves?
It may be a dumb question, but I was just wondering.
 
Does Spikes cancel out Stealth Rock, if used by the same team? If I use Spikes, and then use SR, will SR cancel out Spikes?
 
How much Special Attack is needed to at least have a chance to OHKO the standard Snorlax and/or Blissey with Focus Blast? Even if it means having to slap on Choice Specs or get in a few Calm Minds?

Snorlax 76HP 252SpDef (CurseLax, 480hp and 319spdef)

Damage: 480 - 565
Damage: 100.00% - 117.71%

with 887 SpAtk no STAB
591 OHKO with 1 stage (STAB, Specs, one CM, etc.)
444 OHKO with 2 stages
355 OHKO with 3 stages
queer bug on Metalkids site with 4 stages
296 OHKO with 5 stages
222 OHKO with 6 stages

My good deed for the day. :)
 
Another question. Which is more important, Nature or IVs? Which benefits a pokemon more, beneficial Nature or high IVs?
 
Another question. Which is more important, Nature or IVs? Which benefits a pokemon more, beneficial Nature or high IVs?

Usually nature. Especially if that pokemon has a high stat (lets say Porygon-z) it would gain 36 stat points (timid:369 ; modest:405) compared to 31. Sometimes, such as with Blisseys defense, IVs make more of a difference, but without a bold nature she would take significantly more from any physical hit.

imo, the correct nature is required, and you should attempt for the bests IVs possible, especially when they are available in the form of breeding. If the stat is high, the IVs are needed less, and if the stat is low, IVs should be maxed (only if it plans on using it, like with Blissey).
 
Metalgross > 688 HP for Blissey with 148 EV HP *
So it's not even a 100% OHKO :'(

Focus Blast against Blissey :
148 HP ; 0 SpDef without STAB :
1039 SpAtk is a 85~100 % dmg
1222 SpAtk is an OHKO

20 HP ; 236 SpDef without STAB :
1181 SpAtk is a 85~100 % dmg
1389 SpAtk is an OHKO

*That was my useless post of the day*

Yeah, I beleive I made a typo in the first section by saying 608 instead of 688. All the Blissey calcs may be screwed up :(

Fortunatley, freaktron can calculate the attack stages from your data if he's interested.
