    Only if you hack for the Eon (IIRC) Ticket, because the wanderer automatically has four IVs set at 0.

    New accuracy with No Guard against Protect = 100% - old accuracy. Thus, Thunder would be 100 - 70 = 30% accurate, and Dynamicpunch would be 100 - 50 = 50% accurate. Etc.
  3. The use of "inaccurate" moves

    Precisely what Damanzi said. If either move would get the KO, the "average damage over time" doesn't matter, as both moves would do the same damage. This would make the less accurate, higher base power move inferior in situations of OHKOs or KOing weakened Pokemon. I can't believe that's the...

    Switching to OpenDNS and restarting the computer worked for me. https://www.opendns.com/start/
  5. Bought a New Computer. Still Won't Load.

    My old computer was a Windows XP and had a bunch of stuff on it. The Shoddy Battle website wouldn't load, and the program couldn't access any of the servers, only displaying an Official Server at 150/100 people which I couldn't connect to, which disappeared after one refresh. I downloaded Shoddy...

    In UU, not very, considering the only UU Pokemon hit much harder by HP Ice than Psychic or Focus Blast are Claydol, Torterra and Altaria. In OU, the 4x weak dragons all outspeed and OHKO with a physical move or Draco Meteor.

    Yup, your understanding is perfect. 329 HP will lose 32 HP per attack, and 331 will lose 33. After three attacks, you'll have one more HP with 329.

    Max Speed EVs is kind of pointless with either move, as you would probably only want to outspeed Heatran (Scarftran if boosted), if used in OU. With such low speed, though, Dragon Dance is probably the better option, as a Swords Dance would be easily revenge killed by anything faster than base...

    A real answer: Nowadays, fire attacks from Specsmence are really only good against stuff like Scizor and Skarmory (over the other moves), and it OHKOes them anyway. While Fire Blast has the higher average power (120 * 0.85 > 95 * 1.00), I'd recommend Flamethrower to avoid the 15% miss chance...
  10. Redefinition of Competitive Terms

    The conflict around the definition of "metagame" seems to be one of the main points of contention in this thread. Perhaps we should just disregard all previously accepted definitions of that term and create a new standard to be used and cited in the future? The term "metagame" also needs to be...
  11. Redefinition of Competitive Terms

    If you browse around the Smogon analyses, it's only a matter of time before you come across the phrase "late-game sweeper." This basically means that a Pokémon can easily take out remainder of the opposing team after all of its counters are taken out. However, the vast majority of each battle...

    Where do I change my WiFi character figure in Platinum?

    1. You know the answer you're gonna get if you ask this on a competitive Pokémon site. 2. There is no "best" moveset. They all work better in different situations against different teams.
  15. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    File > Open Team for me does not open my team, and neither does the edit team function from the main menu. It worked a few days ago, and does not work now. What's wrong with my computer? I've tried reinstalling Shoddy and reinstalling/updating Java, and neither have fixed the problem. If it's...
