Spiritomb: Impish or Careful? I'm running this set:

-Hypnosis
-WoW
-Sucker Punch
-Shadow Sneak

Spiritomb is very good at countering psychics and ghosts. I would go with careful for this purpose, especially since you have Will-O-Wisp for punishing physical sweepers who come in and try to set up on you. Remember not to burn Heracross, guts Machamp, or guts Hariyama though. Using Hypnosis as your initial status move would be a good idea if you suspect one of these is waiting to switch in on Spiritomb.
 
I recommend Drill Peck, but it's a matter of your own decision. I believe Drill Peck OHKOs Breloom and Hera, but run some calcs, and if it doesn't, breed BB.

EDIT: I ran the calcs, and Min Att Drill Peck OHKO's min Defense/HP Breloom and Hera.
 
Don't know if anyone asked this but...

Where's the Pokemon Trading Thread in the Wifi section? Or do I have to post new threads now just to look for specific Pokemon?
 
What's a good EV spread for a Modest Flinching Togekiss? Can you also explain why thoughs EVs are significant?

first of all, i answered this for you already, but i'll do it again;

Modest
252 HP / 172 SpAtk / 84 SpDef

although smogon'ers prefer a Calm nature, most likely because with the flinching set, u can afford 2 or even 3HKO's what with para-flinch

the 84 SpDef EV's hit 287 SpDef, and the 172 SpAtk EV's hit 350 SpAtk, but i dont know what relevance they are
 
What exactly is this thing about WonderCards? Is it true I can only have one Manaphy in my game? Currently, I have the guy in the market, have not gotten Manaphy yet, trying to SR for it, but would it be better if I just traded for one? Would it be possible?
 
You can have multple manaphy in a game (I have a TRU event manaphy and my ranger manaphy for example). The wonder card prevents you from getting multiple manaphy from the same event.
 
I just hatched a Misdreavus:

Timid
Levitate
HP: 4
Atk: Who cares
Defense: 31
Special Attack: 31
Special Defense: 31
Speed: 31

Should I go ahead and use it, or keep trying for one with a better HP IV? It's got 31 in each important stat besides HP... it will be a calm minder with Shadow Ball/Thunderbolt/4th move I haven't decided yet...
 
I'm trying to get a Gastrodon with Stockpile. I'm breeding with Drifblim. If I breed the drifblim with a blue gastrodon, will the baby also be blue? Blue gastrodon is much cooler.

HOLY CRAP.

You could replace the current parent with that, and breed with something that has 31 HP< or you could keep it. Lucky hatch, man!
 
Well, the Base Stats are the same for all Pokemon of the same species.

If you mean their Individual Values, there is a calculator for that on Serebii.net under "Game Mechanics - Individual Values." However, it is only possible to calculate a Pokemon's individual values if you know how many Effort Values of each type it has accumulated during its training. Read about effort values on the Serebii.net game mechanics page as well if you need more information.

i know that, I wasnt asking that at all. I mean, how do i get 404 HP from Base 100 HP stat, assuming 31 IV and 252 EVs
 
I think he means, MATHEMATICALLY, what formula makes 404 out of base 100.

In that case

(((((base stat * 2 ) + 10 ) + IV ) + EVs/4 ) + level )

This only works for HP, the other stats have another formuala.

The base stat would be 100, IV is 31, and the EVs/4 63. I think this was from the Damage Formula thread, but I forget.
 
name: Choice Band
move 1: Switcheroo
move 2: Return
move 3: Ice Punch
move 4: Focus Punch / Sky Uppercut
item: Choice Band
ability: Cute Charm
nature: Jolly
evs: 26HP / 252ATK / 232 SPD


IS this set usable in Standard? I really like the concept of an offensive lopunny and it has the speed to pull this set off. Would it work though?
