I need to ask a question.


I have a Starly that I was gonna use for a Choice Scarf Staraptor. It has a 31 IV in speed, yay.

I was wondering, what benefits are there to using Max speed so it's stat will be 328 in this sort of situation? I'll be using the Choice Scarf set on the Analysis page (B-Bird, Combat, Return, U-Turn), if that helps.

I'd like to at least try to outrun a bunch of stuff, even if it means sacrificing Staraptor due to recoil. What are the chances of someone actually using Choice Scarf on Infernape? None of my friends do, so I'd love to outrun that sucker and nail it with Brave Bird....

So would it be a good idea to just max Attack and Speed 252 EVs? Or should I do about 252 Attack, 200-some speed? The reason I'm asking is because I'm unfamiliar with speed charts, and I'm not good with math even though this is simple. XD



Also, seeing an above post, I'd like to know if using a fast egg hatch code would make the Pokemon itself illegal/hacked...?
Most scarfers should be fast enough to out speed an Adamant scarf Heracross.

And no, fast hatch does not count as hacking/
 
Fast hatch is still hacking, but it is a generally accepted form of hacking and undetectable.

And silly me thinking that bypassing a bank's security and transferring money to my account was hacking </sarcasm>
Really the term has really lost its meaning in this forum, from that point of view a 10 year old kid with pokesav/AR that makes a Volt Tackle Aerodactyl is a 1337 H4x00r. I prefer the term cheater, isn't an AR a cheating device anyway?

And so we clash again. :3 I've got no personal issues with people using fast hatch, but I don't like people thinking that it's not cheating of some sort. Weird double-standard morals with breeding.

k. That's what I needed to know. :P Thanks to you and Blak.

It'll be easier to get IVs that way.

edit: LOLz CHEATER =D


Oh, and also, I assume on the Scarf Staraptor (as on the Analysis page), 196 Speed EVs gives it enough to outrun the Scarf Heracross?
 
136 Speed in needed to outspeed Adamant Scarf Heracross. 196 gives it 285 Speed to outspeed Medicham and other + Speed Base 80 Speed Pokemon.

Nope actually I only dislike that the term hacker is used wrongly in this forum like anyone can be a hacker just because they make a stupid pokemon.
I totally agree with you that using AR in any way is cheating, I'm not against fast hatch, cloning or IV checking but it is still cheating otherwise the AR wouldn't be called a cheating device and the codes wouldn't be called cheats.

Just please don't call a elementary school underaged kid with gameshark a hacker because it really is demeaning to real hackers or just about anybody with any knowledge of what hacking really is.

Thanks for helping me understand. :)

I'll just go with 196 Speed EVs. If I don't like it for whatever reasons, I can EV-Berry it and redo it, since I leave all my battle Pokemon at Lv. 60.

Oh, and, well, thanks everyone else for helping me with my questions!

As a possible concession to any "real hackers" that may be floating around a pokemon strategy site, from hereforth I shall use quotes when people ask about "hacking" and AR/pokesav use. ;) That's about as far as I really will go, since the general community uses "hacking" as a term for altering data/creating their own pokemon via AR/Pokesav/other outside devices. My opinion about fast hatch being cheating/"hacking" is unpopular enough without me having to redefine terminology every time I bring it up.
 
Does anyone know where I can find the Ev Vitamin AR code? I have tried searching for it, but only found people mentioning it.
 
I want to get a Trapinch with both Rock Slide and Quick Attack. Is it possible to breed them both onto Trapinch without a TM Rock Slide or Emerald Rock Slide tutor available?

Note: I don't have a Gligar with Rock Slide.

I don't think so.

Hey guys what is the best way to sketch moves with Smeargle? I have no idea!

Double Battle. Bring a Pokemon with the move you want and make sure it's faster than Smeargle. You can always put Iron Ball if Smeargle is faster.
 
I don't think so.

Sigh...yeah I thought so.

I thought that Smeargle-Rhyhorn-Totodile-Omanyte-Skorupi-Gligar-Trapinch would work. I spent so much time breeding females of these Pokemon, and then when I start passing Rock Slide from Pokemon to Pokemon, I find that my Skorupi didn't get Rock Slide... I should have looked at Skorupi's dex page, not Drapions. -_-
 
Damn so I thought that the double battle tower would work my sketch but it didn't, does anybody know where to get double battles at?

My project is like completely stalled until I figure this out...

Go to Solaceon Town and go north to see these 2 people (Matt and Eva) and use your Vs. Seeker to battle them.

I just call them "fake Pokemon" or "imposter Pokemon" and am done with it.
 
What is the IV spread to get a legit HP Ice 70 modest zapdos?

I currently run 31/20/30/31/31/31 which gives a HP Ice 68. Although it's been working fine, I'm sure that it is possible to get a hp ice 70 and I wouldn't want to miss out on a ko because the slightly lower base power.

Is there any calculator of some sorts on the internet that gives legit legendary IV spreads? Thank you.

edit: for clarification, this is for shoddy
