Thanks, Orwell.
Now I have...

1. Kingdra
2. Floatzel
3. Ludicolo
4. Jolteon
5. Bronzong
6. Tozicroak (?)

Should I make Bronzong a physical wall, or should I go Rain Dance/Explosion?
 
Pokémon like Kadabra, Rhydon, Dusclops and Sneasel are moderatly useable, but are in the NFE tier (which I assume stands for something like not finished evolution). Are they reccomended for UU play? Rhydon and Dusclops were OU in the past, and Kadabra was BL.
 
Can someone tell me the AR codes for 999x Ev reducing berrys? Ive been GTSing every once in a while and i want to see how good some of these pokemon are.

411: im not telling you anything its just the postcount for this post =P.
 
You should probably make Bronzong a physical wall. One of the main problems I encountered with Rain Dance teams was finding a suitable physical wall. Bronzong should work fine. Also, as always, double-check your movesets and EV spreads. Make sure that your team can realibly counter most D/P threats, especially opposing water types. It's very easy to let your own Rain Dance team be walled by opposing water types like Vaporeon and Ludicolo, and Shendinja can wall an unprepared Rain dance team completely as well.
 
Got it. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for all the help.'

@ jujuomi: Sorry to say I don't own an AR, so I can't help you with that. Good luck, though. People can give away good Pokes. (I got a UT Timid 31 SpA Azelf!)
 
@Acredula: NFE stands for not fully evolved. It is not a separate tier, just a useful abbreviation. NFEs belong in the same tier as their fully evolved forms. The exception are NFEs that are significantly different from their final forms' like trapinch or scyther. A full list at http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29789&page=47 (scroll down). The reasoning is to force people to use different strategies, as playing uu with rhydon, haunter and kadabra is really no different from playing ou with rhyperior, gengar and alakazam.

Does anyone know the male-female probabilities for volbeat and illumise? It's taking forever for me to get an illumise through breeding :P *don't know if it's the game, or my bad luck... I've hatched at least 50 eggs so far, and only 1 was illumise... .. ...*

Edit: and junior, it raises sp. def for rocks by 1.5

Thanks and as for your question,

Volbeat:
100% Male
0% Female

Illumise:
0% Male
100% Female
 
I'm thinking of trying new leads for my team and I'm just wondering. Would a Scarfed Magnezone fare well as a lead? It can hit a variety of things pretty hard.
 
It can work really well as an anti-lead pokemon, although be careful of Zong and TTar. Counters almost everything else though.

make gligar hold razor fang , and level it up between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM


and for me , how do you line up the sprites like at the beginning of RMTs and war-stories???
 
Is there any reason why I would want Natural Cure over Poison Point on a Roserade? They both suck on rade, but the analysis wants Natural Cure. Does it really matter?

first off, natural cure fucking rocks, i mean if your rosarade its paralyzed its basically useless. but natral cure totally changes that. rosarade cant take a hit at all. its defenses suck big fat black balls.

i don't get how removing status sucks?

like say you get "sleep" , you switch , then next time your not asleep! Natural cure can be very helful as absorbing status like thunder wave and it be gone next time around

i think thats a whole lot better than poison point any day
 
Okay, thanks for the advice. My only issue is that the Roserade that I'm making, is a starter. It's supposed to set up spikes and sleep the incoming counter. Chances are, it's not going to stay very long. Would smogon value a really good 'Rade with Poison Point over a good 'Rade with Natural Cure?

Also, in that case, do you guys care if 'Rade has sucky Defensive IVs?
