If "X" Pokemon is holding the item Metronome and is using Fury Swipes, does the attack do more damage after each swipe?

Meaning, if Fury Swipes attacked 5 times, would it keep getting stronger throughout that one turn?
 
Nope. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. I tried it months ago with a Skill Link Cloyster.

Speaking of Skill Link Cloyster, here is what it says for Cloyster:

If you are really enamored of Skill Link, Whirlpool, Spike Cannon and Clamp take advantage of it, but have little utility.

I am guessing that it does work with Clamp and/or Whirlpool, but why would they also list Spike Cannon? Is it not the same move type as Fury Swipes?
 
How much added damage does metronome do?

Also, does it apply to moves like Ice Ball and Rollout?

Use 1: No boost.
Use 2: 10% boost.
Use 3: 20% boost.
Use 4: 30% boost.
Use 5: 40% boost.
....
Use 19: 200% boost.

If memory serves, 200% is the limit.

And no, it unfortunately doesn't boost with every hit of Ice Ball and Rollout. It only boosts each time a move is selected in succession. I actually just did a test with Metronome and Rollout a couple of days ago because somebody else asked this same question. Check out the research thread if you're interested in the data I got.

It would work but if you think about it Quiet is much better. Since you're boosting Atk with SD anyways and FSash guarantees at least one SD. Come to think of it I'm thinking it wouldn't be too bad as a lead(sadly Gyara will pose problems).

There's already a priority Swords Dance set that is far greater than that. For one, even after losing just 3% from Stealth Rock, you lose the Focus Sash effect. Also, when Lucario holds Life Orb, it OHKOs alot of the metagames threats. Additionally, you want to use Close Combat over Vaccuum Wave - there is no way you should use VW on a physical set. Use an adamant nature. Give it max speed aswell as attack.

Yes, it's standard already.
 
Does the Incense items have to be on a female? Say I wanted to breed a Wynaut, but I wanted to use an Everstone to pass down a nature. Is it possible to do this by giving the Lax Incense to a male, and the Everstone to a female? Would using a Ditto holding an Everstone (breeding with a female Wobbuffet holding a Lax Incense) be a better idea instead?
 
I read a thread that said ThunderP with Poison heal is illegal,
i want to know why is illegal

thanks ;)



Edit: I understand now

I think having a ditto w/ a stone and a female with the incense would work.
I was thinking about that as well for SBP5, with mantine.
Looks like that's the only way to do it.
 
Do you mean a calculator that can calculate stats based on ivs and nature?
If so, use Serebii.

Also, would it be a good idea to start a thread that shows the best iv'd pokemon on Smogon?
 
Ok, i thought he was asking how to calculate stats once you have ivs.
But yeah, if you're looking for ivs, use Toothache's link.
