BTC: I suppose it is unlisted because between Crunch/Sucker Punch and Reversal, there aren't any type coverage holes. While it is true that Guts boosted Super Effective Flame Wheel hits Steels harder than NVE STAB Guts Facade, Guts Reversal usually does the job much better, and the moveset...

Alright. Still working on that Luxray I was thinking through, and here is what I've come up with: Rivalry would make a Male Luxray hit harder than Electivire most of the time (an extremely, extremely rough calculation says that if every pokemon had roughly the same chance of appearing, the odds...

If I try that, what should be the EVs if Thunderbolt is the only special move? I'd also like to point out that of the team that I've pretty much determined to be "in" at this point, the vast majority are special attack focused, so I'd just like to add that thought to the consideration. I think...

Just reposting this because it was a page or two back. Of course, it's not that important, I just feel the need to double check myself.

My understanding is that when a poke is traded, the offer is still there, it's just that the pokemon have already been traded, and the person who, in your example, was looking for a Lucario, has already traded away his Jirachi for the Lucario, but for some reason it still shows up.

Alrighty. Still thinking through my Electric monotype team. Being the quirky guy I am, I was looking at Luxray. I promptly noticed that Superpower was listed on Serebii, but not on Smogon. After lurking around some more, I discovered that the learnsets were under construction, and Superpower has...

Personally, I'd go with Brick Break. Focus Punch not only defeats the purpose of a Scarf, but will have extremely limited use and Focus Blast is shaky accuracy wise, as well as working off the lower EV'd stat.

Well, if I ever have trouble with T-Tar and Grass types, I can throw out Sub and add Signal Beam. The reason I'm asking about Ground primarily is that I recently recieved Wichu's Pichu, which has HP Ice as a Given, and I was thinking Grass Knot. So I'm trying to diversify a tad, and I figured...

Ok. So I'm thinking through an Electric monotype team, and I'm looking over Ampharos. I looked at the "Why Ampharos doesn't have Wool" set, and Focus Blast and Focus Punch are both rather unappealing for me. I was wondering; As one of the few Pokemon that learns Power Gem, I was wondering if...

I feel silly asking this, but I suddenly became unsure; If you us a EV dropping berry when the EVs are higher than 100, they drop to 100 in one use, and then drop 10 each berry after that? I remember testing this, and I could only feed my Pokemon 11 of one stat reducing berry. I'm asking this...

I'm sure there was something like this somewhere, but where is a good place to EV for Speed and Special Attack in Pearl? I know a good place for Speed and Attack, and one for HP, but Speed and Special Attack is just lost on me.

Question 1: I'd say just try and get it from somebody rather than editing the file. That's just me. Question 2: You have to say that you hacked the event, and most people will not accept the Arceus.

Part 1: http://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/breeding_guide_part1 The rest are linked internally. Hope that was what you were looking for.

I was wondering the same thing until recently. Here's how. You have to have a Clefairy with a PID with the ability number (1 or 2) for Magic Guard, which I think is ability two. Teach it Softboiled in <insert Third Gen Game>. Then transfer it up to D/P/Ptt, and evolve it. It should have its...

Well, I didn't really know what he wanted. I suppose I could have put in some imput, but I don't really have experience with Lucario.
