A stage in this case is a +50% multiplier to that stat from base value. For example, one Swords Dance raises attack 2 stages, aka +100% from base value, thus one Swords Dance doubles the attack from the beginning. Using it again raises it 2 stages once more, adding 100%, bringing it from 200% to 300%, thus tripling it. The highest it can be raised is 6 stages, or 400% original value. Lowering by stages is more difficult to describe, but, if you imagine the base 100% as 2/2, and raising it to 200% and 300% as 4/2 and 6/2, lowering it two stages brings it from 2/2 to 2/4, or 50% the original value. Intimidate lowers it from 2/2 to 2/3, or 66.repeating 6% the original Atk. value.

Hope this helps!

EV Spread? I've already put 252 in SpD. Need to know how much to Distribute between Spe and HP (Sub Punch).
 
If a Pokemon has 252 in 2 stats, can HP Up be used to fill up the last stat?

For example, Charizard has 252 in Spd and SpA. If I use HP Up, will it's HP EV be raised by 6?

I want to use Glaceon on my uu team.

1) Could I use Timid, instead of Modest?
Timid = +Spe/-Att
Modest = + Spa/-Att
2) What could I replace Hidden Power fighting with? The hidden power on my two Eevees are Hidden Power Psychic 68, and the other has Hidden Power Ghost 70. In less there's a better option.

MoPCross @ Salac Berry

EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 6 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpA); Jolly Nature (+Spe, -SpA)

- Close Combat

IV Spread if possible: 30/31/31/x/31/31 or anything good. You absolutely need 30 HP.
 
Okay I am breeding a Careful Dusknoir with a Careful Grimer. Both have everstone so I have a shot at IVs and Nature but I haven't hatched one Careful Grimer. I have hatched multiples of other natures and not a single Careful. WTF is going on?
There is no way someone can have that much bad luck.

First, from the analysis page:
With a 30 HP IV and no EVs in HP, Salac activates after three Substitutes, allowing Heracross to get in a few hits before dying from the effects of sandstorm or hail.

Second, read the breeding guide in contributions and corrections forum, use the search function if you must.

Only the female needs to hold the everstone, if the male holds it nothing your probabilities will be the same as if it wasn't holding it.
It could be that the parents come from different versions of the game (us, japanese, european, etc), parents that come from different versions don't past natures when breeding.
 
But if the male holds it the chances of IVs being passed on is increased, right? I was pretty sure that was true.
The Dusknoir is from Italy but he is the male and doesn't affect the nature, right?
I'm looking for the breeding article now...
 
Pokemon Ranger Code.

I bought my Pokemon Ranger in Singapore so what code should I enter to unlock the Pokemon Ranger manaphy special mission?
 
Quick Question:

If I use the AR code to get a Manaphy egg for SRing, is the resulting Manaphy considered a full hack or a legit hack?
 
If I rare candy a poke to the level it evolves, will it evolve? I haven't only rare candied since RBY, so I don't remember.

It is considered "semi-legit". most people wont care as long as you state this. Take my darkrai as an example, perfectely legit poke, hacked ticket. Noone cared.

That is completely wrong, the everstone only serves for 2 things:
- The pokemon that holds it cannot evolve.
- When breeding if the female or ditto holds it then you have 50% chance of passing the nature of that pokemon.
The everstone doesn't have anything to do with IVs, IVs are inherited from the parents or randomly generated and that's it.

Regarding the foreign father, it is as I said before: "If 2 pokemon from different versions of the game breed the nature won't be passed.", in other words the everstone trick won't work unless BOTH parents are from the same version of the game.
