Attack EV was based on the analysis-suggested EV spread, and I think those EPs were invested into attack to give Explosion more oomph. To be honest, I've been running a Bronzong with Gyro Ball > Explosion in the Battle Frontier and he can barely take enough hits to set up everything unless...

My original team had actually been too special (I'd had Ludicolo, Manaphy, and Rotom-W), and then when I did the revamp it was almost entirely physical (I basically had this team with Swampert over Jolteon), so I've had some trouble finding a good balance. Would you recommend putting that...

Well at this point, I think I can safely start working on the Pokemon seeing as hopefully there shouldn't be any re-breeds for moves needed (except for maybe Jolt depending on whether or not I go with Wish on the set). I'll try the team out on wifi/PBR whenever I can and see how it goes...

24+ hr BUMP

When you say things don't matter because it's ingame, do you mean that most people over wifi don't use those Pokemon? When I say this is an ingame team, I mean that I'm making it ingame to use competitively over wifi and on PBR (not against the CPU). I don't think I made that clear in the...

Floatzel wasn't just a sweeper though, he also set up rain and Taunted other leads. My concern with dropping him for an all-out sweeping Kabutops is I now only have 3 rainmakers and no Taunt (not sure how valuable that is in general though). You seem to be suggesting that I have Scizor set up...

So is this team so good that it can't be improved (doubt it), so bad that nobody wants to touch it (hopefully not true), or just being overlooked by everyone?

This is an ingame rain team for Platinum wifi and PBR (not ingame CPU). I'd rather not try for Hidden Power, but I think that would only benefit Kingdra anyways (and I believe Starmie counters Gyarados pretty well, so I'm not too concerned with HP Electric). And while this is OU, I'm not...

Just some notes before we get to the team. First of all, this is not a metagame team; I will actually be raising these guys in the game, so I would prefer no Hidden Power or difficult to obtain Pokemon/moves (it's already going to be hard enough getting Manaphy--anywhere I can go for some...

The Pokemon games have never been about plot for me, and when they tried to do that (Colosseum, XD) I was extremely disappointed. It's hard to make a good story when the game's target audience is young children. I would prefer if they actually did less with the story in the main entries. I...

Are you 100% sure both parents are from the US (or whatever region your D/P game is)? Otherwise, you're probably just having really bad luck. When I was breeding, I had some parents where almost every child had the correct nature, and some where only 1-2 of each batch of 4 had the correct...

So the speed is dropped by 75%, and becomes 25% of the original (just want to make sure I have this correct)? Alright, thanks for the help!

I never had any problems with getting opinions instead of advice on my RMTs, but I am a bit more experienced in competetive battling than most newbies (not that I'm anything close to an expert or anything). But this still sounds like a good idea. I think whoever is choosing should really focus...

Status absorbing is more common than ever, and that's almost the equivalent to a cleric.

This is fairly off-topic, but I raised a Porygon-Z with near-perfect IVs in SpAtk/Spd, but it has a Timid nature (I hadn't realized that Timid won't really help it outspeed anything). Is it worth keeping, or should I rebreed for a Modest one (which is doable, but would take a lot of work). I...
