I don't think that's correct... I thought it was 25% for when you had 3 sets of spikes up?
I'm not sure how much it deals for 1 or 2 sets though.

Well this was how it worked in Advance and I'm pretty sure it didn't change.
Is Arcanine better off having a +Speed or +Attack nature?
General Tso-
Does that mean that 3 sets of spikes deals 75% HP damage..? That seems a tad bit overpowered doesn't it.
Too Hungry-
It depends on if the +speed nature would enable you to outspeed anything that would threaten your arcanine. If not, then the +attack nature would be better.

Well think about, it takes 3 turns to set up, plus flyers can evade it and Rapid Spinners can always come in.
What ability does my rhyhorn need to have in order to get solid rock on my rhyperior
IIRC: Rock Head
Hmmm... true I guess, but I'll go test it out anyways :-P
Well I was thinking something like this:
Arcanine @ Choice Band
__________ Nature
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 HP
Attacks:
- Flare Blitz
- Thunder Fang
- Extremespeed
- Crunch
289 Speed (adamant nature) Versus 317 Speed (jolly nature)
Either way... neither of those speeds are really going to help you since they're both rather boo.
I'd personally choose adamant.
Unanswered, quoted from Page 47. EVs aren't the funnest question, especially when you don't have max IVs, but I'm really clueless when it comes to Cressy. How much HP is need for max Leftovers recovery? How much Sp.Def to survive a Draco Meteor coming from SpecsMence with a decent amount of health?
As for Spikes, In ADV 1 layer did about 8.33% of damage, and 3 did 25%. I would assume this hasn't changed, because 75% is GROSSLY overpowered.
Whom do you think I should put up as my last Pokemon on my team?
I have:
Swampert: Mixpert
Salamence: DDMence
Alakazam: ChoiceZam
Tangrowth: Physical Wall
Dusknoir: Special Wall
Should I either have that Arcanine or an Ambipom? I like them both? Also, should I switch my Alakazam's Shadow Ball for Trick?
Thanks for confirming that (That's actually what I thought it did also :x.. I just haven't seen spikes used, or used spikes in such a long LONG time)
I like Ambipom more, though I'd have to see your teams movesets and actually analyze your team before I could make a real good decision.
I just like Ambipom cause he's so fun to play with :-D
Is this competitive, or for fun? Because as it is, nothing can safely switch into Draco Meteor coming from SpecsMence, not even Dusknoir.
Wanna help me with my team then? I'm going to put it in the RMT section soon enough.
just thought of something regarding Draco Meteor
i havent used or seen a hyper beam or similar to that move in D/P in quite some time
so i was thinking if you use Draco Meteor, your poke is stuck that recharge turn correct? or can you switch it out the turn after you atk?
Draco Meteor doesn't have a recharge turn, it just lowers your special attack by 2 levels. So yes, you can switch out right after using it.
In terms of Hyper Beam, I don't think you can switch out during the recharge turn.
My ways might be a little too "standard". They even are for me; I'm still trying to think of ways to include Porygon-Z into a team without opening up any weaknesses. That's right, I'm having trouble including PORYGON-Z, a standard OU Pokemon. So stuff like Ambipom would be out of consideration.
But if your fine with super-standardizing stuff, then sure.
lol thanks for the fix origin
I wanted at first Porygon-Z to be on my team too, but Alakazam got some new attacks and he's my favorite Pokemon. It might not hurt that much not to put two special sweepers on a team?
In this metagame, I'm afraid it probably would be overdoing it, especially if one of them is as fragile as Alakazam. Bulky Pokemon such as Gliscor/Swampert are the way to go.
I guess. My team's jsut waiting to be RMT now. And what would be a good Ditto nature and EV spread?
Wouldn't speed be good also?
