Pursuit as it allows you to kill Gengar's stuck on Shadow Ball fleeing among other things.
Which would be better for the last move?
Wish
Protect
Toxic
Seismic Toss OR Counter
I don't see the problem there. There's nothing stopping TTar from coming in on a resisted Special Attack and Pursuit on the way out. Correct me if i'm wrong, but Pursuit allows one to change attacks if you catch a switching opponent, right?
Mamoswine is not a heatran counter. It cannot take a fire blast, lava plume... whatever. The point of a counter is to safely switch into an incoming attack.
Anybody?
It's a Wigglytuff. I've finished breeding for it, so I wanna be sure that the set I devised is useful. Please?
Is there any way to prevent pokemon used for parents in breeding to learn new moves and thus delete egg moves you want passed on? I'm breeding a gible and want it to keep earthquake but after breeding for a while it levels too high and deletes it for a new move.
Take out before level up, Rare Candy, choose not to learn move, put back in. Repeat.
Is there a way to do it without rare candy? I don't have any nor the means to clone.
Other Jumpluff, Gengar, Espeon, and if the Latis are unbanned, them too.
Who needs to clone Rare Candies? Level 91-100 Pokemon with Pickup have a chance in their 10% item rate to pick up Rare Candies, among many other useful items. Get a pack of 5 of those together, and EV train a Pokemon with them in the other slots. I all but guarantee a nice haul of items, if you use Poketch application 5 and take items off of the Pickups after every battle they Pickup on.
Oooh! I forgot about that. Huh, well I guess I have to start leveling pickupable pokemon. Thanks!
What move could replace Fire Punch on a Bellyzard? You see, I don't have the luxury of good breeding parents in Emerald, so I'm stuck breeding in D/P, therefore I can't get Tutor Moves (hopefully Platinum will have them though). I was thinking Flare Blitz because it still gets STAB, flinch, for only a base power and accuracy drop of 5.
That would be Fire Fang. Flare Blitz is the Fire Volt Tackle.
After a long night of sleeping I think it would go better with Counter because high hp pokemon won't be able to set up on its Seismic Tosses like lucario using 3 sword dances and sweeping, which by the way is what I did to a friend of mine that was Seismic Tossing with Blissey =]
#1) Does metalkid's damage calc take into account the defense drop caused by explosion?
#2) If I wanted to figure out how much damage a multi-target move like EQ or explosion would dop in a double battle, I would take 75% of the minimum and maximum damage metalkid outputs, correct?

What would be the point of using counter then because it will just set up while you keep doing counter, only way counter would beat a poke setting up is if it has a focus sash
