You don't really have that massive of an ice weakness, only garchomp and staraptor are truly weak to ice attacks, infernape and gyarados should be able to handle ice types, putting togekiss on the team would just add to your ice weakness although it does get roost which eliminates its flying typing for one turn thus eliminating the ice weakness for one turn. I don't know it's really up to you whether you want to add it on or not, its haxing abilities should prove useful though, serene grace + air slash :D
 
You know how in Gen 4 if you save before you pick up an egg and it turns out the egg has the nature and ability you want, you can SR for IVs and the nature and ability remain the same? Does it work that way in Gen 3 also? I want to breed 2 pokes in my Ruby and trade them to my XD for tutoring. It would just be so much faster than the way I used to breed for IVs.

Edit, also, I'm making a "bog standard" RD team. What's a good HP for a lead sweeper Kingdra? I was thinking HP Electric 70 so he can hit other RD teams, but what do y'all think?
 
I'd agree on electric- it kills gyarados even if that's about it. HP is only useful if it's 4x effective after all. You should be using water moves basically all the time, and dragon pulse on stuff that resists water. Gyarados is quite a big threat too.
 
does damage round up or down. say if i do a damage calc and it comes out as like 53.31% - 60.57%

I think they both round down, but I always forget...-.-
 
It doesnt round down - those percentages come from whole numbers of damage. If you're using libelldra, the actual damage is shown too, the percentages are just the ratio of that to max health.
 
I have a question about the set called SubCune. In the comments underneath, it says that the EVs for the defensive one are: 228hp/64Sp.atk/216 speed, yet it mentions later that this defensive one can make 101hp Subs. please, casn someone clarify this and tell me the correct defensive spread? Thanks in Advance.

Looking at the set, I'd imagine that 252HP/40SpA/216Spd will do.
 
It really just depends on how you want to play the Suicune, do you want a bulky cm'er who can stat up on walls, or a quick hard hitting suicune that can avoid status. The Bulky one can (with some help via Toxic Spikes) set up on Blissey, and actually beat it, while the more offensive one uses the extra fire power to sweep with just one or two calm minds under your belt.

Ok. I'll use defensive SUB-CM for my Stall team. Thanks!
 
Ok just looking for a little help here. Just wondering whether you think this is an ok team to use in the platinum battle tower to get the colour print.

Gengar @ Focus Sash Modest
4 HP - 252 SpA - 252 Spe
Shadow Ball
Thunderbolt
Focus Blast
Destiny Bond

Latios @ Life Orb Timid
6 HP - 252 SpA - 252 Spe
~ Dragon Pulse
~ Thunderbolt
~ Surf
~ Draco Meteor

Scizor @ Leftovers Adamant w/ Technician
76 HP - 252 Atk - 180 Spd
Bullet Punch
Superpower
Swords Dance
Roost


Gengar is there for the kill with Destiny Bond if nothing else. But maybe two kills with a super effective hit on the opponents lead.
Latios with the Life Orb for the switching of moves and the really good SpA
Scizor is there for the physical attacking power and after a Sword Dance most things are crippled by Bullet Punch. SuperPower for move type coverage. Roost is there for some survivability.

Well thanks and lets see what you think.

I don't know much about BT, but I suggest looking at the Smogon DPPt Battle Tower Records for advice on how to build a well-structured Battle Tower team.
 
Chain Chomp should have Max Speed, a positive speed boosting nature with a high EV investment in Sp. Attack. The finally two attacks can be anywhere between Swords Dance, Dragon Claw, Outrage...any physical based move really.

For the item, you need to fake a choice item, so Life Orb or Leftovers are not good ideas. Expert Belt or Yache Berry are both very good choices.
 
Where can I find the tiers on the site? I've never cared about them before so I've never looked them up.
