It seems this is the one flying around in my game. I haven't even SRed for it, so I'm pretty lucky (first time in ages). But what Nature should I Synchronize it? I'd say Modest for the CM set, to make up for the low SpA (why 22 Att and not 22 SpA, dangit -.-)...
 
Why does the standard set for Marowak Jolly with 252 EVs in speed? Why would you focus on boosting the speed for such a slow pokemon, especially one with great base defense? I mean, what are you going to outspeed? Wouldn't you want to make it bulkier or something, or does a lack of leftovers or a recovery move make this a stupid idea?

Jolly Marowak with 252 Speed outspeeds things like Suicune and Milotic without EVs in speed.
If you're baton passing Speed on it, you can give it Adamant and less speed EVs depending on how many boosts you're giving it.

How can you Synchronize it when you already got it?
Once you see Mesprit in the cave, IVs and natures are set.
 
How do you put a link into words?

Like, for example, instead of having something like in my signature, where I have the actual page link, how can I make that link clickable through a different word? I hope you know what I mean..like look ar spit-fire's signature. Thats what I mean. Whats the code for that?
 
For move tutors, can they teach your Pokemon moves over and over again (unlimited?).

Like the Draco Meteor one for example. If I teach it to my Garchomp, will I still be able to teach it to my future Kingdra and Salamence? The one on Route 210

Yes you can. You just have to raise happiness all over again though
 
Forbidden, say the last post was posted by you. Delete it, then post it again in the quick reply box. You can only do this every 5 minutes+, unless you changed some stuff in your post (even a space, or coma would count as a change, and will allow you to over-ride the 5 minute thing). You could have just asked me :D
 
Looks like I'll try asking again...

Zoom Lens is described as this:

[NAME]
Zoom Lens
[SHORT DESC]
Raises accuracy 20% if the holder goes last.
[LONG DESC]
Raises accuracy by 20% if the holder goes last.

If a slow pokemon uses Sleep/Hypnosis on a switch, do they get the 20% accuracy boost?

Consider this as a choice if you we're playing under item clause...


Also, what alternate item would you guys consider for Vaporeon if you we're reserving lefties for a special or physical tank?

Oh the cheapness. D=

@NSFW, if you switch you won't get the 20%.
 
Hey NSFW. Don't know if you know me but we had quite a few battles last night. I was the guy with Hitmonlee, Sharpedo etc.

Anyway, I really can't give a definate answer with regards to Zoom Lens. However, I would gues that, going by the description, yes, you would recieve the accuracy boost. Payback and Avalanche have similar descriptions and they both double in power in the case of a switch.

As for your Vaporeon...hmm, Item Clause is a bitch. With 130 base HP, Leftovers is perfect for Vaporeon. Lum Berry is always good for utility and allowing him to take a status attack or laugh in the face of something that puts you to sleep (i.e Rapidash ;) ). Mystic Water would give a 20% boost to Surf making it nearly as strong as Hydro Pump. If you're using a BP variant (and I know you aren't) a Starf/team-appropriate Berry could be used.

The berry that reduces the power of electrical attacks might be useable too.

Not if I switch...

The scenario is this.

Swampert is strutting his stuff...

NSFW for brings out Tangrowth!

Swampert craps himself, Swampert switchs to (insert WTFPWN Tangrowth killing pokemon).

Tangrowth uses Sleep Powder!

Now, technically Tangrowth moved last for that turn, is sleep powder hitting at 75% accuracy or 90%?

Yah I remember Lee! I think I won two and you four right? Close Combat Hitmonlee FTW >< That guy murdered half my team if I predicted wrong. I don't remember your sharpedo though =( I don't think he was making appearances by then.

I'm trying to make my team potentially item clause compatible and make a few adjustments based on lasts nights battles before I RMT it. Zoom Lens Power Whipping, Sleep Powder Tangrowth seems quite sexy so far. Pushes Sleep Powder to 90% accuracy, Power Whip to 100%, and same with Leech Seed. The reliability of seeds, sleeps and power whips going through, to me makes a fair trade off for leftovers, especially in item clause.
 
Bold Milotic
HP: 28
Atk: 24
Def: 25
Sp. Atk: 31
Sp. Def: 31
Spd: 18

Would an ev spread like this work well with it?
162 HP
228 Def
120 Sp. Atk

162 HP reaches a sexy 368 HP for the most efficient leftovers recovery.
228 Def nets me 269...Which is pretty good.
120 Sp. Atk is the Standard for decapitating Garchomp

286 is provided with a perfect iv in Sp. Def

Would these stats be usable on Wi-fi as a classic sleep-inducing Milotic?

question: what berries decrease what stat??
Question2: how many EV's does 1 stat decreasing berry decrease?
Click to expand...
1. They're listed in order, and the description tells you what it decreases hp/atk/def/sp.atk/def/spd

2. If the EV is over 100, 1 berry will reduce it to 100 and any berry you use after that will reduce it by 10 each.
