As soon as I open up the Pal Park in my Heart Gold game, I'm emptying out my Fire Red and starting a Nuzlocke challenge. Have yet to decide on the full ruleset I'll use, but probably just a normal Faint->Release + First Pokemon in Area run. Hopefully should have the pokes all transferred...

Just becaue Competitor is around doesn't mean that there still won't be WiFi battlers. Many people don't know about Smogon and the Competitor project, many people don't want to register for a random forum just so they can download Competitor, etc, etc, etc. It'll still be easy enough to find a...

According to Metalkids, Kingler (0 Def / 4 HP) can take a Swords Danced Night Slash from Weavile and survive with 10% health before Leftovers, so it could definitly kill it on the second turn. That is, depending on if a Kingler can 2HKO a Weavile. And Brick Break is an OHKO on Weavile before...

Those three are definitely worth keeping, with perfect HP (Calm/Impish) or Defenses (Careful) with some defensive natures. lvl 41 relaxed - 30/30/15/8/31/31 You might be able to worth something out of this one as well. Remember that in a breeding chain, only the last ditto you use matters...

Use it on something like Kecleon and see what he turns into. Either that, or if you know the IVs of the pokemon, run it through a calculator, most IV calcs have a hidden power calculator in them as well.

Well, I was gonna run Ice Beam S-toss Sing/T-wave Softboiled I figure I can run T-bolt and then I'll just use Sing over T-wave. Side note, I want a good special wall that isn't Blissey or legendary.

Well poop. Any suggestions on a good replacement for Seismic Toss? Thunderbolt for the coverage?

So I decided to suck it up and train a Blissey, but I wanna get a Seismic Toss one. But I don't have Emerald. Does FR/LG have the same breeding rules as Emerald (Mainly Everstone nature passing)

What pokemon, without specifically gearing itself FOR Manaphy, can safely switch into Manaphy and pose a direct, immediate threat? Vaporeon could if he carried a good Hidden Power Grass/Electric, and Ludicolo has a decent chance I guess, but they need to be geared much more specifically to...

Hrm... this sounds interesting to say the least... What about something like.. Geodude@????? Jolly/Adamant 252 Atk/252 Def(or HP)/6 Spd Rock Polish Rock Slide Hammer Arm Earthquake/Filler Maybe a Focus Sash as an item so you can be sure to get the Rock Polish off, although with max Def...

Because you're locked into an attack that's gonna do a lot less than 50% now. The two stage Special Attack drop pretty much forces a switch no matter what. If a Manaphy is allowed to Tail Glow or a Garchomp allowed to SD/DD, it's not stopping until it's dead or walled. A Specsmence who's locked...

You wouldn't be able to have a Weavile because you have to level it up while it's holding the Razor Claw, so it'd be level 2. Same for Chansey. Gotta level it up.

I don't see the point of releasing your decent ones until you find a perfect one. I spent forever breeding Tangelas, and the best one I had for a long time came out with 31 HP/30Atk/30Def/??/??/0Spd. I kept it even though it had 0 speed, and I'm actually training it right now, because...

That's the difference right there. 125 stats is a lot of stats, and base 100 across the board is really good.

Competitor will render this a moot point. You can't judge a pokemon on how hard it is to get a good one, or else all the One-shot legendaries in Ubers wouldn't be uber.

I like the idea of doing stuff like Tricking Choice Specs onto stuff that can't use it, or Tricking Flame Orbs and stuff as well. Fling can add to that, I'm sure, but it does seem a bit novely. For those pokes that rely on thier items though, it can be amazing.

The problem with trick room is taking the hit to get trick room off and then do something about it. Bronzong might be able to do it though, with Levitate and the Steel-type, but he still gets Crunched pretty hard by T-tar.

I saw Will-o-Wisp in his moveset and I said to myself, "Burn would be perfect" and then I totally forgot about it when I wrote it out. Will-o-Wisp > Taunt

Can't you just get a defensive Hazer? Something like... Weezing @ Leftovers/Black Sludge Bold 252 HP/252 Def / 6 SpDef Toxic / Sludge Bomb Haze Taunt Explosion Not sure on using Taunt, but it can Haze those Dragon Dances pretty easy and will also be unaffected or NVE hit by a good few...

If you make Ubers part of standard metagame though, there is no REASON to use Garchomp or Rhyperior or whoever. Everyone will have the same team because there is no reason not to have Groudon/Arceus/Mewtwo, etc, etc, etc on the same team. It constricts the metagame because people will all...
