As I understand it, the Platinum forms can't be used only on WiFi. They can be used just fine in local link battles, however, and that's what Shoddy is trying to simulate.

Ah, I was not aware of this fact. Thank you for clearing this up. Is there any speculation as to why the forms are not allowed on Wi-fi? After all, we do know that they do work on wifi with an Action Replay code, I wonder why Nintendo disabled them... To avoid giving Diamond/Pearl users a disadvantage on Wi-Fi by not being able to tell the forms, maybe?

So what I do is multiply my Lucario's 350 Atk by 4? That's insane, that's 1400!

And another thing, if a move is STABED, how much stronger is it?

Very rarely will you get to Sword's Dance 3 times anyway.

1.5x stronger. Base 100 x STAB = 150 power

Edit: Fuzzbucket. 5 seconds slow :<


From the last AASQGASA (:D) thread, I asked about the IV checker guy in Platinum and xwraith provided a nice response. The last thread, however, was deleted, so I was wondering if anybody has the information again (and perhaps actual numbers. xwraith's were just rough estimates).

It's been aa while since I was in OU, and i forget what the "Synergy of a team" is. Care to re-inform me?

It's an abstract concept really. From what I see, it's basically how well your team meshes together or works together. Scizor + Heatran to take incoming fire moves aimed at the former and Gyarados + Jolteon for electric moves are examples of synergy between Pokemon. It doesn't have to be resisting moves others are weak to, but it's a big part of it.
 
That's what I figured (and slightly remembered) is how well your team fits, thx man, now it's time to get off my lazy butt and build a good team.
 
When I try to launch Shoddy Battle, I get a pop-up saying "Unable to Launch Application". I'm pretty sure I just updated my Java, which is what I remember I did last time to solve the problem, but its still not working. Any suggestions?

Have you tried reinstalling Shoddy? It's worth a try, fixed Shoddy for me once.
 
Another question, If your looking for a tutor, where would you find one? Like contact them or whatever.
(This isn't the simplest question but...)

What are the chanses of a sleeping PKMN being asleep for the max 4 turns, how does that whole deal work?

TheMaskedNitpicker in the DP Research Thread said:
As far as I understand it, when a Pokémon is put to sleep with a move other than Rest, it gets a sleep counter that starts at a random number between 2 and 5. Right before the Pokémon's turn, the counter is decrased by 1. If the counter is then less than or equal to 0, the Pokémon wakes up and takes its action. As far as I always understood it, if the Pokémon has the Early Bird ability when its turn comes up, the counter gets decreased by 2 instead of 1. I don't think the counter gets divided or multiplied by 2 at any point.

Assuming an equal chance to be assigned 2, 3, 4, or 5, a 25% of being asleep the maximum amount of turns.

I would do that, but I can't get onto the shoddybattle website to redownload it. Whenever i try to get on, I get redirected to some random websites.

Whenever I save my team on Shoddy, I have to change Zapdos' IVs since he can't have straight 31's. However, he also can't have 31's and 30's in order to have HP Grass 70. Can anyone help me fix Zapdos' IVs so that I could get a strong HP Grass and keep good, legal IVs?

Take a look at the first post in this thread. Click on the link and there you go. (There are 2 of them)
 
Does anyone have any advice as to whether to use Azelf or Gengar as a non-lead Explosion-user?

Azelf outspeeds opposing Gengars, but Gengar has superior Special Attack and STAB Shadow Ball.

EDIT: This is for the 4v4 VGC Regionals.

Azelf has a higher attack (and speed), but Gengar's immunities will likely prove more useful, so I'd stick with him.
 
use azelf it has way better attack than gengar, counting the 2v2 75% multiplier gengars explosion is fairly weak. it won't even KO some neutral pokes
 
I'm going with Azelf. Its higher attack ensures that a neutral Explosion will kill almost anything. It still also has the key EQ immunity.
 
does mIRC give viruses? i tried downloading it but i get all this "an unidentified computer wants to access your computer" mumbo-jumbo. and then it syas"dont use it unless you know where it's from" and stuff.
 
So, I recently downloaded ShoddyBattle, and i'm able to connect to the server, build a team and all of that.

The problem is if I try to save my team or click use this team, nothing happens. Because of this I am unable to battle, period. I've already tried updating my java but to no avail. Anybody had a similar situation?

Thanks in advance.
