  1. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 12

    Unless you're breeding it in a 3rd gen game, it will evolve into a Pickup Ambipom. As for Payback vs. Shadow Claw, it depends if you'd rather have 75 BP instead of 70, or a higher crit ratio. Also, Dark attack vs. Ghost attack, depends what kind of coverage you need.

    You'll need to breed a Kabuto with Squirtle to get a male Kabuto with Rapid Spin. Then breed it with your Tentacool.

    Shedinja is hit by Spikes as well, so I would say that he takes SR damage regardless of type. I've found that Cresselia's Nature is not affected by Synchronize. It only affects Pokemon that you immediately battle upon "talking" to them.

    Seems like it's working correctly. Since Levitaters aren't affected by Toxic Spikes, Gengar shouldn't absorb them even though he's Poison type.
  5. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 11

    Nothing really. Its no rarer than Regigigas or Giratina.
  6. Pokemon Platinum - The definitive thread.

    Well, technically the code for Charizard, Mewtwo, etc. was always in Ruby or Sapphire. Your friend with FR/LG could trade you a Charizard no problem. The game didn't suddenly "download" new data for Kanto Pokemon. The problem with Platinum introducing completely new evolutions is that you'd...
  7. Pokemon Platinum - The definitive thread.

    Although I would enjoy a revamp of the Sinnoh Pokedex as well, is it really necessary just because Giratina may be caught pre-E4? In FR or LG, the game didn't break when you traded over a non-Kanto Pokemon before getting the National Dex, its number just didn't show up. Upon catching Giratina...

    Nope, it will have a 50% chance of working. Protect, Detect, and Endure all share the same counter.

    Breed a male Duskull or Spiritomb with Pain Split, then level it up to learn Curse. Then breed it with your female Koffing.
  10. Pokemon Platinum - The definitive thread.

    If Volkner gets replaced as the Sunyshore gym leader, I wonder if he could end up as a "co-Elite 4" with Flint "McDonald". I've always thought an Elite 4 double battle would be interesting. Although, there wouldn't be only 4 of them anymore. I'm also hoping that some of this information isn't...
  11. How Do YOU organize your Pokemon

    Let's see: Box 1: Bred/EV'd Pokemon, totally filled. They're starting to spread back over to Box 18. Boxes 2 - 18: Labeled "001-030", "031-060", and so on until "481-493". Everything is there except Darkrai, Shaymin, and Arceus. Box 18 also has my "waiting to be trained" Pokemon and my Dittos...
  12. CAP 3 CAP 3 - Part 11 (Name Discussion)

    Thanks for the comment. Heh, I'm not a fan of the second one myself. I came up with Ashentile before, but then I looked back and saw that someone else had already suggested it a few pages ago. Had to come up with something to replace it.
  13. CAP 3 CAP 3 Sprite Submission Thread

    The only thing I don't like about Wyverii's front sprite is how its left arm cannon covers up part of its tail leaf. In fact, much of the tail is hidden from view. Other than that, the pose and sprite are great. KoA's sprite just doesn't look lizard-like to me. Maybe it's the head, maybe it's...
  14. CAP 3 CAP 3 - Part 11 (Name Discussion)

    Well, I haven't posted here since the Revenankh project started, but now that I'm done with college, I might start posting regularly. Anyway, here's a couple suggestions: Incendrake - Incendiary or incense + drake Basilarmor - Basilisk + armor (doesn't refer to fire or grass unfortunately)...
  15. CAP 2 Smogon "Create a Pokemon" Part Deux: Poll 2a

    The best concept I can come up with for Ghost/Normal is a "normal" looking creature (think of any animal-based Normal type) that phases in and out between an ethereal and corporeal form. The creature would have mist swirling around its body, and parts of its body would constantly fluctuate...
