It looks like a few people on this page are starting to have the same idea, but I think the way to use Mega Banette is to use it as an anti-choice Pokemon and then hope to make a 1-for-1 trade against another of your opponent's team members. I'm thinking: Banette @ Banettite 252 Atk /252 HP /4...

Bringing this over from the Boomburst thread, but I'm submitting long-forgotten Chatot. It gets STAB Boomburst (140 base power, no drawbacks), and a newly-buffed Chatter with 65 bp (up from 60) and guaranteed confusion. It's not going to be a powerhouse or anything, but aside from perhaps...

Wow, between this and the newly-buffed Chatter, Chatot is going to be quite the force to be reckoned with. Relatively speaking.

I don't mean to trifle, but I don't think this hazard actually punishes switching like the other hazards do. In most cases if you switch with Spider Web on the field, you'll be switching from one Pokemon with -1 speed to a different Pokemon with -1 speed. And those speed drops don't accumulate...

I'm thinking this idea is too gimmicky to make serious use of, but cursory research seems to indicate that both Lopunny (Switcheroo) and Swoobat (Trick) can take advantage of Klutz to pass an Assault Vest. Giving an Assault Vest to the right Pokemon (especially a hazard-setting lead) is almost...

Is there a good reason to run Guts Heracross@Heracronite any more? It seems like since you're going to be Mega-evolving Heracross eventually, Moxie is the far superior choice, just in case you get a chance for a revenge kill and Atk boost before powering up.

I need a Pokemon with a 0 Speed IV so that I can pass that stat down through breeding. Without RNGing, is there an easy way to either find a 0 Speed Pokemon, or check the Pokemon in my PC to see if any of them have a 0 Speed IV?

Well, that's the thing. I do have an ethical problem with it. I'm not going to judge everyone else that's doing it, but personally, I'd rather compete knowing that my actions are within the spirit of the competition. It's just frustrating is all. If Nintendo came out and said that RNGing...

Is there anything similar, such as a level 1 Roggenrola with Shell Bell, or Sawk, Throh, Dwebble or Tirtouga?

Yeah, I guess I definitely didn't do that. I saw no need to go back and continue playing the game if I already had my Vaporeon. I don't want to be that guy who whines all the time, but I am just fuming about this. I'm going to see if there's any contact info on the Global Link, because this is...

How common was the tiebreaker? It really sucks that you lost on a time issue, rather than seeing the match out. I'm quite worried, because my current team is rather stallish, and routinely comes from 3-1 and 4-1 deficits to win matches. If the tiebreaker is that much of an issue, I'm screwed.

How would I have checked? I did the game, it told me I had Vaporeon, and I took it at its word. Was I really supposed to expect that the game would just sometimes randomly delete your data?

I'm very annoyed with the fact that Nintendo will go so far as to say that RNGing is an unethical practice, but admits that they are wholly impotent in countering it. Of course, I can't think of anything that they could do to outlaw the practice (other than just making a PRNG that is much, much...

Seriously? That's ten different kinds of screwed up. I don't ever remember choosing to play again, I just got my Vappy and left. But I'm sure that's what it is.

I went on DW today and didn't find any Eeveelution waiting for me. So I checked the Promotions tab, and it's telling me that "You need to be qualified to participate in the promotion. Please check the Pokemon Trainer Club." I checked the Pokemon Trainer Club and it didn't say anything at all...
