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.
Nah, dude, you're wrong.

I've used No Guard Machamp before- Moves with 100% accuracy have a 50% chance of hitting through Protect/Detect with No Guard.

Used it against a Yanmega, he used Protect, I used Ice Punch, and it hit.

Probably, its some glitch with the weather.
 
I was going off what Blizzard said in the Research thread:

"I guess it was confirmed that only STAB moves get their normal accuracy with No Guard + Protect."

That was a good few months ago though and it may have been found to be untrue. I don't know to be honest. I hate Machamp. :heart:

Never tried the stab moves- I only see people using protect on yanmega...
 
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...
That thing is awesome to breed for a Chainchomp!
 
I just thought of something that'd be wicked... In snow, secret power has a 30% chance of freezing... well what if you used it with Togekiss? That's 60% chance right there... The thing I'm asking is, Is Snow=Hail? Like can you use Secret Power in Wifi (with hail active) for the same effect?

This could be really sweet if it'd work, 60% chance of freeze is gamebreaking.
 
Yeah I knew the base power thing, but would that mean Medicham's is the most powerful? To put it simply, is Medicham the Pokemon with the highest attack that can learn Reversal?

No. The snow is in the FIELD. You know, that long route to Snowpoint, with infinite Hail? See the white field? That's the snowy field Secret Power works with.

It won't work for Wi-Fi because Wi-Fi Battles's filed is always "indoors" (30% chance of paralyzing).
 
Yea... theat's what I figured...I knew about Snowpoint... It's where you find Rock Climb right? lolz. It'd be awesome if it WOULD work though. Stupid wifi.
 
Did you beat the gym? It might also be that you didn't do Lake Valor or Lake Verity
i went to verity and valor and they were blocked off or nothing happened there.
someone please help me? i have 7 badges, i just finished snowpoint, but there is no cutscene or anything at lake acuity. what do i do?
i went to both lakes and nothing happened, i went to the main house and the warehouse and nothing happened, wtf?

I believe so the adamant ones atleast but generally Lucario is better at it with SS immunity, more speed and a priority move when you're opponent outspeeds you.
 
Pidgeot
Move1-Airslash
Move2-Hidden Power
Move3-Brave Bird
Move4-Quick-Attack/U-turn
Choice Specs
Timid 252 Spatk/Spd ,4 Atk

Would this be a good moveset for:

Timid #16 Pidgey: 22 / 31 / 31 / 30 / 27 / 31
Hidden Power Type is 'Grass'. Hidden Power Power is 70.
 
Would it be against to rules to host a poll about which (insert legendary here) that the people want to determine which to SR for. If it isn't, which forum would i post it in?
 
After conflicting answers that I have seen, I have to ask if anyone knows for sure, Does sleep activate guts? A lot of people have said it's just a glitch on shoddy, but has anyone actually tested or does anyone know for sure? thanks
 
Whats standard Specs Lucario? I tried Timid on Shoddy except it doesnt 2HKO blissey. Is the standard modest or something?

I was going to breed one for my thread with dragon pulse, vacuum wave, and aura sphere and shadow ball . If I run timid, it outspeeds stuff but doesnt 2HKO blissey. If I run modest, it's too slow. What nature is the correct one?
 
Hey everyone, it's me again. =$ Two questions now.

When you breed a Ditto and a Male Pokemon, if you put a Everstone on the male pokemon, will the offspring still have a 50% chance of getting the same nature as the Male Pokemon?

Also, just for reference, when you breed a Male Pokemon and a Ditto, and Egg Moves that the male has will pass onto the offspring right?

`Proto

Edit: Smitty, Rydon is a NFE (Not Fully Evolved) because in this gen, we have Rhyperior, which is the final evolution of Rydon.

It doesn't 2HKO if its Timid. Most Blissey's die from Aura Sphere from a 2HKO, unless they have max HP. You should go for modest and HP Ice 7. Ice is better than Dragon.

Why is Rydon NFE?

Uhh... because it has Rhypherior to evolve to? Duh.

1. Everstone has to be on Ditto.

2. Males only pass moves to offspring.
 
When going for a good Ditto, even though you can Synchronize for natures, are the IVs completely based on luck?

Also, when you breed Pokemon, does the male or female pass:
Nature
IVs?

EDIT: Finally, do you have to put an everstone on the above parent to pass the nature/IVs?

Thanks in advance.
