Nothing can resist them all because only Bronzong resist Ice/Ground combo. Some good choices are Bronzong, Breloom, Poliwrath, Empoleon. They are probably the best choices.

Ludicolo resists most of those types

Chris is me already explained this, but this is also important:

Oh? That's a nice tidbit. I could have sworn Hail added 1.5x to Ice, but oh well. The chance of shattering Protect is much better for Doubles, imo. Is that confirmed?

Yes, it can go through protect in D/P, but it can't on PBR, and I'm not sure if it has been confirmed to do so in Platinum.

[ShinyElite]

So YOU CAN see Shiny Pokemon Legendary dogs in colosseum? Yes?

Yes, and I think you can see BEFORE purification, just look for the spinning orbs signalling it's a shiny Pokemon.

noob questions (i haven't played in months... see sig.)

1. whats the difference between an AR and R4DS? what exactly does each one do? (i'm thinking about getting one/both but idk which one i need)

2. is there a place to find the changes that will happen in platinum?

 

[Itsuki]

Can the new Platinum Rotom forms or maybe the others formes be sent to D/P?

Sorry for asking such a question. I just need to know because in ChouToshio's warstory Shaymin-s was allowed on the Wi-Fi Battle because of an AR code but Little Green Yoda has D/P so he could see Shaymin-s so yeah.

Can someone answer me? Thanks.

 

[Sudo]

No, you can't transfer the new forms to D/P legitimately at this time.

Anyone know what Microsoft Excel program X-Acts' Pokemon Coverage program runs on?

ar lets you cheat
r4 lets you download whatever games you want off the computer as well as save files etc
serebii has all the changes you need to know.

Stupid question about SRing:

1. Does the ability of a poke also lock when you save before taking an egg? Provided that the poke that it evolves into can learn the same ability, will it always stay once evolving?

2. Is SRing just as simple as turning your game off once you lock into an egg?

 

[Broken Wing]

Does gravity make levitate users able to be hit by spikes?

 

[tennisace]

Does anyone know a stat boost calculator? (Im sure that wording is way off...)
What i mean is a calculator that I can use to find the stats of a pokemon after a swords dance or agility?
Thanks in advance.

Just multiply it yourself: +1 is times 3/2, +2 is times 4/2, ect.

Does gravity make levitate users able to be hit by spikes?

Yes, in addition to Ground Moves.

1. Yes ability is locked.
2. SRing is resetting by RL AB (I think it's those buttons, I can't remember exactly). Turning it off is called a hard reset with the on off flip.

@latios Yes spikes takes damage in that case.

 

[Olimarman]

But if I SR, then my AR codes turn off, so I can't check IVs. Don't I need to hard reset then?

 

[Shenlong_88]

Yeah I think people with ARs actually hard reset for that reason(?) but I'm not sure...but I can't imagine that being very good for the battery.

 

[Rubberbandman]

My reqeust is for someone to explain to me how the slot machines and bonus rounds work. Because I never had a clue what I was doing.

 

[Scarlet Spyder]

I am wondering what Pokemon is generally better as a bulky water: Milotic or Vaporeon (Wish)?

Milotic has Recover and can absorb status but Vaporeon has Wish for great team support.

 

[cim]

Usually Vaporeon.

 

[Felix91]

Anyone care to tell me which AR codes are generally acceptable for use on Smogon (i.e. fast hatch, ev training, iv checking, cloning, etc. etc.) I don't have an AR but depending on their use in competitive pokemon it could be worth the purchase.

As long as you state exactly what you use, a fair number of people accept quick hatch / iv check / instant egg. No more than that though (no hacking parents).

thanks. also... people who advertise "Cloning"... is that an AR code that they use or is it the GTS glitch?

 

[Shelcario]

Anyone?

 

[Sudo]

It'd be cloning through AR generally, sometimes in Emerald if available. The GTS glitch is very unreliable and time consuming.

 

[Matt_Lane]

• Quick Hatch
• Instant Egg
• IV Check
• All TMs
• All Items
• Rebattle Codes
• Cloning

Those are generally accepted by everyone.
