  1. Pokemon VGC Phoenix Story

    Cheers Peterko, I understand now. I apologise, and my pokémon are grateful for their corrected stats. I would have been going in with speed 1 lower than it should have been on all my pokémon!
  2. Pokemon VGC Phoenix Story

    Re: Peterko, my reasoning is based on the values I entered into Serebii's IV/Stat calculator, I question the numbers you provided. All I know is every block of 8 raised it 1, and adding 4 caused no change! L50 Timid Abomasnow 31IV: 232 EVs = 119 236 EVs = 121 240 EVs = 121 244 EVs = 122 248 EVs...

    Awesome team, awesome victory. Please don't take this the wrong way, but it amazes me someone of your calibre could do their EVs so wrong. 8 = 1 stat point at L50, and your spreads are 252/252/4 and spread 4s with Metagross which wastes EVs!

    Thanks for the replies :heart: Looks like Regigigas slips through. Probably alongside pokémon with full EVs but 0 experience for their catch level.

    Can the L50 Heatran in Platinum be EV trained without levelling up above L50? That's not relevant to his question. Besides, in 4v4 or 3v3 it could have uses as a finishing move.
  6. New and "creative" moveset/EV spread thread. Mk. 3

    Castform can now learn Last Resort in Platinum, with STAB giving a base power of 195. All of Castform's movesets in the Strategydex are special based. The advantages of having a wide variety of types are clear, however Last Resort offers an excellent suprise attack. With Castform expected as a...

    It sounds silly, but have a small party of 1 pokémon before talking to the guy and save facing the guy. Memorise the characteristic(s) you are looking for. Anything other than one of 6 characteristics means none of its IVs are 31s, so if you need max speed or something it can cut out a lot of...

    I think it is related to the difference between your badge allowance and the pokémon because when using a traded pokémon that just levelled up above it, it obeyed a lot of the time, but L100s and such obeyed very little. I don't need AR codes, I just want(ed) to know what the policy is.

    Oh, I guess that's why my thread was just locked. I didn't see anything about it on the Stark Mountain or general rules. Is there a general information page by Smogon someone could direct me to rather than discuss it? I'm kind of stumped...

    Not a lot has changed if you can hack whatever moves are needed.

    When Ditto/Mew transforms into a wild [legendary], what stats can be checked? What about HP? Thanks in advance :) And if a second question is not a problem, I was wondering how trainer card stars have changed in Platinum. Thanks again.

    Thanks. So what WOULD one do to get a wish Blissey?

    I have noticed the term "scouting" used around the board. Could someone clearly define this please? I know if it as using protect or sub to see what move is used without actually getting hit by it and responding appropriately. But I see "NO scouting" rules and I don't see why anyone would have a...
