bummer. so once the percent damage gets calculated, perhaps the bug users who gets the move can use it as a priority destiny bond on weakened (HP-wise) fire types

Powder goes away the turn it's used? Oh, I just assumed the "powder" stays on the target till it uses a fire type move, then boom. It would have been nice to block the use of fire type moves.

Do the trapping turns of infestation reset again when using the move again within the first 4-5 turns of passive damage? ie. butterfree use infestation.. (target trapped for..let's say four turns) Turn 3: butterfree use infestation (target will now be trapped for another 4-5 turns) the...

back to the changes affecting dragons, they can still hit fairies with physical attacks. that's been mentioned already. but the one dragon to really take a hit...hydreigon. its stab and fighting coverage (focus blast or superpower) are resisted by fairies and these fairies have naturally high...

Oh. I understand. Thanks for the clarification on the mechanics guys. On another note, does anyone think the speed boost justify use of status moves or semi phazing moves like perish song? Or should it just stick to attacking. Me First gimmicky of course but I see it as a sure counter to mega...

It's still a prediction game with Absol b/c even with magic bounce, opponents can boost their stats, if one chooses to spam sucker punch early. however, absol might just be forced to use sucker punch on the first turn in which it mega-evolves. if i understand the mechanics correctly, sucker...

could payback be of use? since you start off with absol's speed, you'd mega evolve after your opponent hits you (hopefully u'll live), then you mega evolve and hit with a boosted payback (stronger than a sucker punch or night slash minus the critical hit ratio)

maybe a bulky set using assault vest. i think it can go just on the offense with its moveset 252 hp/ 252 def or spd and corresponding def or spD boosting nature. assault vest superpower night slash psycho cut foul play yes, no recovery but it should be able to take a few hits...

With the release of dream world unova pokemon coming about, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned shadow tag chandelure or any other unova pkmn

so physically defensive eviolite roselia or the physically defensive roserade?

i read the analysis for roselia. what do you guys think of switching over to a defense-boosting nature and maximizing defense instead. 252HP/252 Def. I mean, like this it would only be slightly less specially defensive than roserade. i see it useful against breloom and many fighting types.

good to know. thanks

which of the two would do more damage to a water-type when used by chandelure? a. calm mind followed by the use of shadow ball or b. just using energy ball

with chandelure in UU, what set do you think would be most efficient in that tier; 1) sub with 3 attacks 2) calm mind plus 3 attacks 3) subcm? 4) or other

Does speed boost work on the switch this generation? (i.e. call back chansey, send out speed boost blaziken)

yes, it always could back in generation III. However, there's just too many problems, mostly the same ones that have existed in generation IV. In IV, he suffered from the powerful new fighting attacks that threatened to ko him. in this new generation, you have an immense number of powerful new...

i don't know if this has been mentioned, but besides spiritomb, you can use sableye. Zoroark can use nasty plot w/o revealing itself b/c most would believe it's a mischievous heart sableye. You can use substitute as well, although it probably be as efficient as using nasty plot. There are also...

is there a way to prevent ditto's eccentric ability from activating?

well, one thing's for sure...any annoyer teams (parafusion, leech seed/sub, flinch hax, etc) are destroyed by these two magic mirror users. that kills some fun :(

yep...electra ball while handy, won't serve much if electrode is used as a lead (which it serves best as) because most people tend to use fast leads who either a) strike hard b) set up hazards c) taunt. this means the the bp of electra ball usually will not always be 150. However, this applies...
