What is the best nature for an ubers competitive Darkrai?

Edit: I have seen the Strategydex entry, but it lists Hasty, Naive, and Timid so I was curious which was the best.

Timid for Nasty Plot sweeper.

Hasty for mixed sweeper.
Same goes for Naive.

Nasty Plot sweeper is used a lot more though
 
Almost all Scarf Heatrans are +speed these days, and you should always max it out considering Heatran vs. Heatran isn't all that uncommon.
 
Although the Analysis says there's better Pokemon for the job, how would Feraligatr run a bulky water set?

I was thinking

Rest
Sleep Talk
Avalanche
Aqua Tail/Waterfall


Really, just for the element of surprise.
 
Question about skill swap / gastro acid.

When your pokemon's ability gets swapped or canceled, does switching out and back in return you to the original ability, or are you stuck with it for the rest of the match?
 
How many EV reduction berrys do I need to give a Poke to make it reach max happiness?
 
I've been hearing alot about Wdro and his supposedly invincible deo-e team, but i've never seen it.

I figured that it would be ok to ask about it now since deo is banned. What's the deal with that team? Curiosity has gotten the better of me.

How do you find where you are at on the shoddy battle ladder?
Click to expand...

view the leader board here: http://www.smogon.com/shoddybattle/leaderboard/

If your CRE is below 1589 for OU for example then you can estimate where you are by looking at it. Right click on your name in the shoddy user list while on the server and click view record or type /record [username] your name without the brackets into the main chat.

Other servers have different leader boards you can find on their sites. The links are usually in the welcome window. Official goes to top 100 while most others go to top 50.
 
Life Orb numbers are usually pointless.

Let's go with someone with 321 HP who reduces their HP to 319. A non extreme example. Ignore all damage.

After one attack, the 321 HP users loses 32 HP, leaving 289 HP.
319 HP loses 31, leaving 290 HP.

So, it takes 2 attacks to matter.

If you think you'll be surviving something after x attacks that you otherwise wouldn't, X being the difference between your HP and your lowered HP with LO factored in, then go ahead and use the number. Otherwise they're largely pointless.


Whatever happened to the Wifi Trade Center? That was cool!
 
Does anyone have a link to a damage calculator that shows the 2HKO chance, with or without Sandstorm, etc? I know I have seen a link to it in Platinum Updates, but I don't have it anymore.
 
Is there a thread where you can post links to battle videos you have uploaded to sites such as YouTube or does Smogon not host such thread.
