Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
How does the game calculate Hustle with another stat boost?
Scenario 1:
100 Atk * 1.5 (Hustle) * 1.5 (Stat boosting move/Choice Band) = 225 Atk
Scenario 2:
100 Atk * 2 (Hustle & Stat Boost treated as 2 levels) = 200 Atk
With larger attack stats and Life Orb, which gets calculated...
Pokesav is also notorious for leaving trash bytes in places around the save file. Someone has already posted that they have taken Savd pokes onto WiFi Random battles. It seems that you just have to learn how to emulate the caught/bred Pokémon. This doesn't sound much different from PBR or the...
With each new game release Nintendo has been adding more and more hex values and trash bytes. It is possible that their hack check software is looking for these values and they aren't there. The person who is getting them to work is catching the poke in the wild and then modifying it instead of...
A Pokémon caught/bred in HGSS needs to be able to be traded to DPPt where the Johto/Kanto routes are not programed. To get around this all native HGSS Pokémon have their met location set to Faraway Place (which is what shows in DPPt) and HGSS instead looks to certain hex values for their met...
RSE has 14 boxes for the same reason DPPt has 18. That number of boxes allows you to have 1 of every Pokémon, including all alternate forms.
RSE has 14 boxes @ 30 a piece = 420 storage
386 Pokémon + 3 Deoxys forms + 27 Unown = 416
DPPt has 18 boxes @ 30 a piece = 540 storage
493 Pokémon...
I ran into the same thing on PO when I was using Wynaut. I created a new account and slapped an unbalanced team together to see if Wynaut could overcome the major deficiencies in my team. Very few people seemed to be able to work around Wynaut effectively but the few good teams I faced where...
This is what I was first thought of when I read the OP. I believe Latios was deemed Uber under Support Clause because its Specs 130 Base Draco Meteor was able to take a massive chunk of health out of any poke on a consistent basis that it allowed other pokemon to muscle their way through their...
I will admit to testing out teams that I have seen in a RMT or even asking someone if they would share a team with me that they used against me or that I saw in a warstory because I like the team and I wanted to try it out for myself. If the person says that they don't want to give you the team...
At first I thought the Adamant Orb on Beautifly could be for Tricking a useless item but it doesn't get that move at all so that makes no sense.
Blastoise doesn't have the power for a scarf Water Spout set but people try and make it a Kyogre clone. The Specs set is fairly useful though.
Bluffing can be very valuable to winning a match but it is also risky. A lot of bluffs deal with making someone think you have a different moveset/item than what you are running and you are predicting/hoping that they will make the standard play. For instance, I had a battle in a tournement on...
