I'd either run a Modest nature if you use Salac Berry, or a more defensive EV spread with Leftovers to match the slow nature of Calm Mind and potentially beat out random Surfs and such. Consider Dragon Pulse over Shadow Ball, which also receives excellent type coverage in tandem with Aura Sphere, hits a bunch of Pokemon neutrally for more damage, and does more to Garchomp and Salamence.

Could the defensive evs of the Bulky Dancer set work with a few more in SP. Atk then Sp. Def?
 
without thinking, replace fire punch with ice punch for more coverage.

If you can get brick break/ rock smash over poison jab on the second set you could get better coverage

For the first one, any Ground/Rock pokes. For the second one, I can't think of any type combinations off the top of my head that resist it (mainly because not many things resist both dark and ground.

EDIT: Yea, look at the above. Ice+Electric hits much better than Fire and Electric. Only like, Lanturn resists the physical BoltBeam
 
Thank God, I thought Indiana would be finished....

EDIT:
OK, How does one go about breeding for specific Hidden Powers.

Also how do you get Solid Rock Camerupts?
 
If Nincada evolves into both Ninjask and Shedinja at once, will both resulting Pokemon have the same nature they did as a Nincada?

well fire punch + t-punch is being used on blaziken for fire punch is for blaze STAB (guess i shoula posted names) and not many rock pokemon survive a 300BP reversal with belly drum passed to it

other set is sharpedo's my 2nd recepient of drum

i just wanted for get as much coverage as possible as if anything is NVE is probally gonna survive and kill the drumed pokemon

ty anyway
 
Argh, the chicken can't Ice Punch. Thunder Punch gets you walled by Dragons, but other than that, go for it. Drummed Blaze Fire Punch shatters things. Sharpedo set looks good.
 
To pal park something from Saphire, do you have to beat the game? I want to try to get a good Jirachi from my Colosseum bonus disk, but I don't feel like beating the game over and over lol... and since you can't really check the IVs in Saph w/o leveling it up I'd be kind of screwed...

I think you should be able to. Lucky bonus disc having jerk. Channel makes us PAL gamers have to beat the R/S before it lets us get Jirachi.
 
lol I'm sorry :P I've had it for so long, this weekend, or whenever I get the chance I'll goon a Jirachi huting spree. You know good natures for it I should look out for?

Thething with Jirachi is that it can do all kinds of stuff. I'd want a Modest one, but that's just me. I think most people would want a bulky-ish one. You know, like Jibaku's one, except legit.
 
When you iv breed, and later check the ivs in an "iv battle", do you immediately check the first 6 pokes you hatch, or hatch like 30 pokes than check the ivs at one time (accounting for logging out, geting new hatches, and logging back in to WfC)

Personally, I check the first 6 pokes i hatch (iv bred of course), then if the ivs arent to my standard i go back, hatch 6 more, and do another iv battle, what do u guyz do?
 
I only recently acquired wireless internet at home, I had 4 boxes full of hatched eggs that I didn't have enough Rare candies for, Found some real gems within them

First, I immediately release any that obviously don't fit what I'm going for, like when I was breeding Meowths, ones with perfect Attack had a 7 in attack at birth. I released any Meowths with a 6 in attack. Also factoring in characteristics, like "likes to fight" isn't good enough. Once I get a full set of babies that seem promising enough, that's when I get the IV battle.
 
oo, but traits like "likes to fight" dont always determine the exact iv per - say, since ivs are randomly generate, you might have some decent pokes that youve tossed out...

But if something has "likes to fight" it means that its highest IV is an imperfect Attack one, meaning it cannot have any 31's, thus it's gone. I do hold on to stuff like "Somewhat vain" sweeper babies in the off chance that it has perfect attack and speed as well as the advertised Sp.Def.

I think I know how the game works a bit better than you do, Mr "Blaziken will pass ThunderPunch to its babies".
