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.
Viable in Ubers? In Step Form she's one of the few things that can revenge kill Extremekiller Arceus with a Life Orb. Definitely one to consider methinks...
So Turboblaze negates any ability that would affect the damage your attacks do but it only works with regard to ability and not type? So if the opponent is immune or resists, that doesn't change with Turboblaze but if their ability would normally prevent them taking extra damage (like Multi...
Thanks for the clarification :)
One more quick question:
Do moves that affect status only affect you during Shadow Forces "invincible" turn? I know you can be put to sleep but what about other things? Also, if the enemy uses a move like Whirlwind will it force you to switch or fail?
I think I know the answer to this already but if something like Skarmory uses Roost and I want to take advantage of it losing the Flying type is this impossible if I'm faster?
For example, I choose a Fighting attack, hit it first and then it Roosts on the same turn. Because I've hit first my...
Was Arceus Vs Darkrai ever completely solved?
If not, how about this?:
Brave Arceus @ Insect Plate
6-252-0-252-0-0
Judgment
X-Scissor
Signal Beam
Sleep Talk
I tried so many things with Whirlwind, Safeguard, Magic Coat, Light Screen etc but in the end it seems that if we assume perfect...
Ok, this is probably gonna be my final attempt at Arceus Vs Mewtwo, now I know you can't max its EVs yet but I'm curious to know whether it would work for Gen V. Just hoping I haven't overlooked anything...
Mixed Attacker Arceus @ Spooky Plate
0-154-0-96-0-252
Judgment
Shadow Claw
The idea is...
Ah yeah, well I guess if it fails for that reason at least it can work for Gen V. I'm still thinking somebody's gonna point out something I've missed though :P
Sorry for the double post but I just thought of this:
Modest/Adamant Arceus @Spooky Plate
4-252-0-252-0-0
Judgment
Extreme Speed
Punishment
Recover
The idea is to pound Mewtwo with Ghost Judgment/Extreme Speed, forcing it to Amnesia if it wants to stay alive. If it doesn't boost its stats I'm...
Is Perish Song allowed in this? If so, can't Arceus just use an uber-defensive setup to dominate pretty much everything?
I've been trying to see if Arceus can defeat Mewtwo with this set:
Adamant Arceus @Spooky Plate
4-252-0-0-252-0
Shadow Force
Extreme Speed
...

EVs are intended to...
Interesting, thanks guys.
Edit: Just had a look at Expert Belt and while it isn't necessary for Kyogre and the 1.2 Boost easily takes care of Groudon it doesn't guarantee the 2 hit on standard Lugia/Giratina when you factor in Leftovers. Shame because it's not a bad alternative but it looks...
I love this Mewtwo set, I feel that it's worth losing Calm Mind for the incredible coverage those moves give you.
Now I haven't even done any competitive battling myself so I'm a massive n00b but I like reading discussions like this. Just curious about how much that set relies on Life Orb. Is...
Noob question here that I should know the answer to but don't. Do stat boosts/drops get reset when you switch out? For example if I use Draco Meteor does it nerf my SpA for the rest of the battle or will switching out reset my SpA?
