Does your Pokemon's nature effect it eating Gold PokeBlocks from Emerald?

Also what should I feed my Smeargle if I want it to win every contest and what nature should it be?
 
ok this is a shoddy question. why is it that when x pokemon has a certain nature shoddy wont let you get a certain type for hidden power but if you were to change the nature on said pokemon you are then able to get the previously unallowed hidden power type?
 
In the battle tower single and double does the computer ever use earthquake as i have never seen it used and was just wondering.
 
how does multi-target moves split power now in D/P?

Remember Eruption (hits opponent) and Explosion (hits all) is different.
all multi-target moves now hit all targets for 75% power.

unlike in advance, eruption(both opponets) and explosion(all pokemon) are not different.

Please give an example? I'm sure I never had that problem...

It has to do with the IV restrictions based on the way that the RNG's create IV's for pokemon. For bred pokemon it doesn't matter because the breeding process overrides the RNG's IV's, but for legendaries and event pokemon not every IV combination is possible. Most of the necessary Hidden Powers for Legendaries are covered in this thread

thanks i was wondering why certain pokemon were unable to get the hidden power i wanted. thanks for the link too it is now bookmarked.
 
Does anybody have a pokemon that can switch into both Skymin and Zapdos. Basically anything that can take a Thunderbolt / Seed Flare and force them out? I need something to replace my Jirachi, since these two pokemon end up sweeping my team a lot.
Thanks.

Registeel could switch into both.

Anyone? Anything besides Blissey? I run an all offensive team, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to add Bliss unless someone can come up with something better.
 
Well he said that Registeel could switch into both with ease I would imagine, as for countering I don't know:S

Edit: How do you copy and paste Paint images?
 
The problem is Registeel has low HP and doesn't resist Thunderbolt, and it takes supereffective damaage from Heat Wave. Plus it has little use outside of countering Shaymin. Zapdos is so damn bulky you need something really strong to KO it, and not many things that strong (think TTar strong) are fast enough to take Shaymin on.

But if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Thank you.
 
If you're using an offensive team and don't want dead weight, there's not really a 100% counter to both of them. Multiple pokemon may have to pool together to handle these two (at least that's what I do). I use jolteon mainly for zapdos and it can switch in t shaymin...doesn't mean I always do.

If jolteon doesn't work, you can try a snorlax (not sure if it'll work for shaymin very well...) or perhaps a sassy TTar. TTar resists air slash, and if it wants to use one of the other moves that are SE, it'll be hit by an ice beam. You'll need a good amount of levitators, and another decent switch in to seed flare-though in my experience, it's not used as often.
