I know PokémonElite2000 is Smogon's sprite resource, but does anyone know where can I get the Egg sprite?

 

[DiamondDust]

how come i cant get through the rest of my diamond? i just finished snow point city, and now nothing happens at acuity lakefront.. i dont know what to try now, all the walkthroughs say something happens when you go in there but nothing happens.

 

[salamenace]

Did you beat the gym? It might also be that you didn't do Lake Valor or Lake Verity

 

[Justinawe]

Nevermind guys!

I think you have that made. Try Kagy or Soy they are both excellent artists( Aragornbird included but he might be busy...)

What's the best Hidden Power for a Timid Pidgeot?

 

[ArmaldoEX]

What's the best Hidden Power for a Timid Pidgeot?

Pidgeot is not suitable to become a Special Sweeper, considering it has 10 less Base SpA than Attack as well as lacking the movepool. If you're talking about ADV, then HP [Fighting] would be the right choice.

Why does Hydro Pump hit through Protect here:

It's at 3:15 mark

Hacked Starmie with no guard.....

 

[Lee]

Possibly.

I know that Thunder and Blizzard can potentially hit through a Protect though if the weather favours them.

I've been through the research thread and I can't find any explanation.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

So, No Guard circumvents Protect/Detect?

 

[Lee]

No Guard STAB moves have normal accuracy against Protect/Detect.

So DynamicPunch has a 50% chance of hitting through Protect/Detect.

It would seem non-STAB moves are exempt from this though. Odd I know, but it's what it says in the research thread.

The person is from marriland and he's stupid enough to switch a T-tar into a sub/sd garchomp. I'd say its very possible. Also wtf would anyone use Blizzard on dragonite?...

 

[Lee]

Also wtf would anyone use Blizzard on dragonite?...

Because maybe he had No Guard? Note that the player didn't hesitate to use Blizzard on Garchomp in a Sandstorm, despite the fact he would lose his Dragonite if he missed this 50% accurate move.

Yeah...seems like No Guard hax.

What Pokemon can Baton Pass Nasty Plot or a similar SPatk boost?

Togekiss, Ambipom... ?

 

[Lee]

Plusle and Minun.

 

[The Shadow Knight]

Plusle and Minun.

Don't forget Hypno!

 

[Train Man]

Don't forget Hypno!

And Mew in Ubers.

So we've got:

Plusle, Minun, Togekiss, Ampibom, Hypno (XD move?) and Mew.

 

[Lee]

IIRC, Smeargle gets Nasty Plot through NYPC so you can add him to the list of Plot-Passers.

 

[The Shadow Knight]

And Mew in Ubers.

So we've got:

Plusle, Minun, Togekiss, Ampibom, Hypno (XD move?) and Mew.

Yep it's a XD move, you have to snag it of Gorigan so it's quite a bitch to SR for =[

 

[Contarius]

Quick question: WHy do some people run lava plume over fire blast or flamethrower on heatran?

 

[Sunday]

the high burn chance

 

[oPlaiD]

And Mew in Ubers.

So we've got:

Plusle, Minun, Togekiss, Ampibom, Hypno (XD move?) and Mew.

Not too many options there for OU use...

Togekiss, and a Pokemon that isn't even a special attacker. Sweet.

I have a really good 31 Attack IV Naughty Ditto but don't really know which pokemon/movesets take best advantage of a Naughty nature. Anyone know what I could breed that has a standard 'Naughty' set?

EDIT: Oh, man! This Ditto is 12/31/30/31/26/29!!! Pity I found it while seeking an Adamant one...

Garchomp can be one, as well as Infernape, but the Speed IV is not really at the top. Good find, however.
