Is Curselax a physical or a special wall? I'm actually having trouble figuring this out lol.
Also, how viable is Special Wall Slowking in OU?

Actually Shadow Ball and Hidden Power Fighting hit everything neutral except Normal/Ghost types which doesn't exist yet. Dark Pulse and Hidden Power Fighting hit everything except Toxicroak and Heracross.
Curselax is mostly a special wall as it's Careful. Curse makes it Defense higher so it can act as a Mixed Wall.
Slowking I think can do well. Taking at least 1 Grass Knot from Infernape and able to OHKO it with Surf/Psychic. It can also take a hit from SpecsMence.

Thanks for the answer. This makes me wonder, though, what does Slowking have that other special walls don't?
Hey, this may be kinda weird, but here goes.
I had a dreams a couple nights ago that I came in possession of Pokemon Emerald and was ecstatic about it. I also got Fire Red in the same dream.
Anywho, after I woke up, I felt sad at not having Emerald and came to wonder, what are the major selling points for Emerald?
I know there's the Move Tutors and breeding possibilities and such, but what else sets it apart from the other 3rd gen games?
I ask not only because I'm highly considering buying it out of boredom, but also if it would be worth it on my end. How much does it actually differ from Sapphire that I currently have?

No. Like when you're battling someone else, any changes in items are only for the battle. Everything's back to normal afterwards.
There go my chances of obtaining a salac berry....thanks for the answer though.
apart from the tutors, battle frontier is the main reason.
that and reliable glitch cloning in the battle frontier.
depends if you are going to do much breeding, the tutors are good and the IV guy helps.
also i had a dream that gormanghast (dunno why, i dont even know him) went on the create-a-pokemon server and told me (and everyone else) to delete my game.
Tentacruel is also a great counter, resisting Surf and Ice Beam and shrugging off the Grass attacks with that 120 base SpD. STAB Sludge Bomb beats down Ludicolo pretty quickly.
Empoleon's another decent option, but doesn't really have an attack to hit back with, other than Drill Peck on a physical version.

Restating. Please help.
Hmm, I'm trying to catch a HP Ice or HP fighting (Whichever comes first) Moltres, does anybody know the IVs?
Boo.
Not to your question, but to the fact a crucial move like that is available in only one place. Looks like I'll have to find someone to trade with to get it.
Erm, hey.
I'm just wondering how much, exactly, a stat increasing move actually increases that stat by? All I can find is that attacks are raised "1 stage" yet I have no idea how much "1 stage" is.
Let's take a Gyarados for example. If it were to use Dragon Dance, what would the speed and attack be raised to, or what percentage do the stats increase by if that is the way in which it works.
I've not phrased this very well, but you catch my drift.
