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.
Yeah, the TM list is up for Serebii, but the descriptions are definitely generic. I'd be interested in helping, but It's been hard finding the time to play my Omega Ruby (got past the 1st gym so far).
Thunderbolt is given by Wattson in Mauville City after "the new Mauville mission." Does...
lol, I have the same problem with many pokemon games.
I've only gotten past the 1st gym, so I am not far at all either. But if you're looking for a pokemon that stands out, I would consider manectric (although I think you've passed it). IIRC, he can learn both volt switch and overheat (gym...
That post was assuming the logic that the opposing pokemon is allowed to have alternate abilities that are available.
-Azumarill is allowed to have Huge power
-Zebstrika could have lightning rod
-Bouffalant could have Reckless (though it's hit by brick break anyways)
This puzzle depends on how...
It fails to hit vaporeon super-effectively, since vaporeon doesn't have any grass or electric move (hidden powers don't count).
This likely fails for many other pokemon as well. Ditto is not even a co-operative solution.
Edit: And btw, I don't think you can cheat the system by copying an...
Boldore: "Uh oh, here comes a water type about to use surf. I better double my defense stat while my ability Sturdy remains intact."
Audino: "Oh, your HP is low!" *Uses Heal Pulse.
I would consider
Kecleon
-Skill Swap
-Ice beam
-Brick Break
but I think Articuno ruins that idea, if not other things. There seems to always be an ice type that has a dual typing to cover at least one weakness.
Is a fighting type move required to hit arceus, assuming forest's curse / trick...
I can vouch for that XY volbeat story. On both of my XY runs, that battle lasted longer than any other battle in the game for me.
Also, Ghetsis' Hydreigon in BW can survive a max att Rock Slide from Excadril, just so everyone knows...
I have also used the Traded Bisharp on a run I did a while back. It gets an adamant nature and all, but the lack of EVs really hurts its potential for the Elite 4 fights, since everything is so high leveled. Since Aron (x) hasn't been decided for tiering, I'll add that Aggron is on the same boat...
In my opinion, Pokemon should really not be tiered lower by factors based purely on chance (encounter and catch rate, or Aerodactyl's old amber finding rate). Pokemon should be tiered based on their usefulness entirely after catching, but noted in availability that it is a rare encounter. If a...
I don't recall it having a Dark move either, but I think it's still likely that Mega Gyara will OHKO it with a stab water move, being lvl 53 and all. Outrage is selected pretty often in my experience though.
Mega-evolving can probably happen first turn since no one would expect the AI to use...
Um....I'm not certain Mega Gengar needs "real 'good' matchups" when he has 170 base SpA and 130 base speed and STAB shadowball. It should be able to destroy Mr. Mime and Sylveon with Shadowball / Venoshock, respectively. Depending on your level, M.Gengar should be OHKO'ing Olympia's team with...
