What are the best movesets for a Nidoking and Nidoqueen with no event moves? Also, can a curse boosted dynamic punch from Feraligatr OHKO a Snorlax? Since your starter can't learn rock slide or ancient power, I gave it both curse and dynamic punch thinking maybe it could surprise something...

Thanks, and no problem. I once left a friend of mine a 6,000+ word profile message, so I'm the last person to cry tl;dr. I'll ask further questions via pm to avoid hogging the thread.

Yeah, it is. Sorry, I should have mentioned. Thanks. Between the two sets (SD / Waterfall / Ice Punch / Earthquake or SD / Agility / Waterfall / Return), is one clearly better, or can I safely just choose based on personal appeal (I like the first one a bit more, but don't want to short-change...

Restarting Soul Silver, going to RNG my starter (the actual Pokemon Elm gives you) again but wondering what to do with it. What's the best moveset, nature, and EV spread for a Feraligatr that can't learn dragon dance or aqua jet (for UU or OU, whichever it's more fit for)? Last time I went...

Thanks, got it.

For a Suicune with base 70 Hidden Power Electric in SoulSilver, I have to choose between sacrificing either 1 Defense IV and 1 Speed IV, or 1 Special Attack IV. If I'm using the Offensive Calm Mind Set, what's generally the better way to go? The entry in the Strategy Pokedex doesn't say.

Thanks for the advice, I'll keep that in mind.

Ah, well, I'm actually restarting Leaf Green and Soul Silver at the moment. Prior to gen V Totodile only has torrent, so that's not an area of concern. (Greninja is the one sixth gen starter that I kind of like, though).

Thanks, both of you, I appreciate the explanation. My rationale is that from the standpoint of immersion in an rpg/virtual pet video game, I kind of hate the idea of either replacing my starter or my legendaries (and some others like my first catch) outright or relegating them to obsolescence...

Thanks. I guess if I had a Pokemon with decent but not perfect IVs that I wanted to make sort of semi-competitive, what I'd need to do is look at the stats of other competitive Pokemon and set stat benchmarks according to, for example, what I wanted to out-speed, two-shot/one-shot, etc., right...

This may not qualify as a simple question due to the potential breadth of it, but how should one decide how to allocate EVs on Pokemon with imperfect IVs? Say, if you have a cartridge game that you play more casually (i.e., don't sink hours into breeding), but still want that edge against your...

I see. I saved in a spot where I can track all NPC movements in New Bark Town, and then try to dash into the lab when there are only a few frame advancements left (since they'll keep moving once they're off screen) hoping I'll get lucky, but I guess that combined with the inability to verify my...

I've a question from ages ago that was never answered: Any takers? I am still probably going to try to do this because I am a masochist.

When receiving your starter Pokemon from Professor Elm in HGSS, do Elm's movements advance frames? I know that random NPC movements advance frames, but I'm not sure whether Professor Elm's do, given that they aren't random NPC movements. I'm going to patiently try to RNG a Totodile by carefully...

Thanks, that clears it right up!
