When I have a Salac Berry on a Drifblim with Unburden, what happens when it activates? Does the Salac raise Drifblim's speed one stage, and then Unburden doubles that speed value? Or does the speed double and then that number is raised one stage? Mathematically, does it even matter?

About 500 on Diamond, 760 on LeafGreen, 400+ on Emerald.

I misunderstood the way BL Pokemon can be used. This is in OU, then.

Good question; I thought it would be obviously UU but there are too many BL to make a safe assumption. This team is meant to be UU. EDIT: Ignore. This team is OU.

Here we go. Might be worth noting ahead of time that I don't like competitively using overused or legendary Pokemon and that reflects on all of my choices here. I've listed weaknesses and resistances as well, because I figure it's important enough to include in a team that wants balance all...

Before it's locked, it might be worth noting that tossing in an extra 4 HP EVs would be useful so that you still get a good bonus out of Leftovers, but so that you're not KO'd purely on Substitute / Toxic / Stealth Rock / Spikes / anything that does pure incremental damage. 4 Subs would leave...

I'm still testing this out; at the moment I'm looking for Pokemon in-game that can take a lot of Triple Kicks so I can tell whether or not each attack (each kick) is noticably increasing in damage. This is difficult because my Hitmontop is EV'd in attack, is Adamant natured, was bred for IVs...

I don't understand how Rollout and Spike Cannon are pulled into the same boat here. Is it because the game registers each hit of both attacks as part of one execution of the attack, regardless of how many actual hits it lands or turns it may take to stretch out? Maybe some testing would be...

Could've sworn Payback had a base power of 60; thought it was just like Revenge and Avalanche. Thanks for the correction.

Thanks for the link.

Technician would boost Payback's power to 90, not 75. Payback would be the better choice if you wanted more reliable damage, though I don't know how often you'd really expect an Ambipom to be outsped (thus making Payback really useful).

Does the item Metronome (the one that boosts moves that are used multiple times in a row) strengthen each hit of a move that hits multiple times, like Spike Cannon or Triple Kick? I looked it up in the Smogon database and it said that it only increases damage each time the move is executed, not...

I agree with bmbownz. Some of the Eeveelutions, namely Umbreon, Espeon and Vaporeon, are great at passing effectively, and if you want to create a team using those three as baton passers with other Pokemon as sweepers that they can support (via Aqua Ring, Acid Armor, Taunt, Mean Look, Calm Mind...

I think you're missing the fact that Rain Dance eliminates Roserade's weakness to Fire and makes Weather Ball a Water type move. It also helps Forretress take a Fire hit by halving his weakness to fire. It doesn't help Charizard or Gliscor at all, no, but then that's why Charizard has Sunny Day...

I have a Kingdra absolutely identical to yours, and I can say from experience that Ice Beam is still greater than Signal Beam for general use. It's still SE against Celebi and is even better than Dragon Pulse, STAB or not, against the plethora of dragon counters you'll see the second you send...

And my first post on smogon; please let me know if there's something I'm doing wrong. Not pertaining to any tiers but what I consider (somewhat) competitive and fun nonetheless. It's probably worth noting that I don't consider playing a team with T-Tar, Garchomp, Metagross, Blissey, Heracross...
