The simple answer, as far as I can tell, is that while Latias has more offensive strength, it's more easily revenge killed. Latios would come in, still do tons of damage (albeit less then latias), and refuse to die as well.

I might have calculated wrong, but the chances of hitting though paralysis and attraction should be 0.75 * 0.5 = 0.375, so the chances of not hitting should be 0.625 or 62.5%

That would make it more difficult to set up spikes. One of froslass' main boons on this set is recovering in hail while her opposition isn't. Is there any particular reason other then aesthetics that I shouldn't run 6x leftovers? Gyarados is an interesting option though. Is there an...

Ginja ninja, your suggested changes would seem to give me a large weakness to lawn mower rotom, replacing most of my pokemon with ones weak to grass. Stallrein looks good, but I don't really want to add him. Mainly because hail usually negates leftovers, without doing any permanent damage...

The goal is to set up hail and spikes, shuffle the enemy around a little, and then go for the kill with Kingdra Abomasnow @ Leftovers Ability: Snow warning EVs: 252 HP/252 ATT/6 SPD Adament nature (+Att, -SAtk) - Leech Seed - Substitute - Blizzard - Focus Punch Mainly to set up...

Occasionally I do this. For some nature/iv combinations, the stat is higher at level 1 when the IV is high (above 20), which can be used to disqualify certain pokemon. I'm sure a stat calculator would be able to tell you the level 1 stats of a given pokemon. Just lower the given IV until the...

Do multi-hit moves break focus sash on the first turn they're used (if they would be a 1 hit ko)?

I'll repost this, since it's fallen off the page. What effect, if any, does using a power item to breed IV's have on the odds to breed the other IV's? If it's currently unknown, I'll take that answer too. Also, I have conflicting reports on the effects of two power items. A quick test with a...

Nope. Along with wonderguard, multitype can't be skill swapped. I'm unsure about trace, however.

I'd say the boosted exp will make up the difference of not fighting red. IIRC the elite 4 there is pretty high level.

You can rebattle the elite 4, and as far as I can tell you get to keep all in in game items stolen from trainers with trick (tested it on the elite four. Used trick on the psychic bird with a sitris berry, and got to keep it. Incidentally, you also lose held items you trick to them after the...

Can you use gastro acid or worry seed to nullify sticky hold, letting you use trick/thief/switcheroo to steal koga's leftovers and black sludge?

I could be wrong, but I think that the blocks have to be present for the 10 days to count. That is to say, you couldn't keep it open for 9 days, add the blocks on the 10th, and catch a zangoose. However, pokemon that take certain numbers of days to come regardless might come even if the...

I tried searching the thread/googling but couldn't get a consistent answer. How does using an EV item (power anklet, etc.) to breed IV's affect the IV's that would normally be passed down? From my understanding the IV's that are passed go in the order of: 1) Any 2) All but HP 3) All...
