Hello, guys, long time, no see. I've got a few questions, and yes, one of them is about teirs.

1. Why is Cradily NU? I was taking a look at it, and it has decent HP, great defensive stats, and Recover, so it seems like a great choice to me. I mean, clearly it's not OU because Scizor would gut it like a fish, but BL and UU seem quite welcoming...Cradily isn't used enough in UU & BL is a Banlist for UU.

2. You know Berries #36-#52? The ones that reduce Super-Effective Damage?...Yeah, those... Exactly how much damage do they reduce by? They halve the damage dealt.

3. Does Heal Block stop Leftovers, Ingrain, and so on recovery, or does it only stop healing moves? The things Heal Block stops are instant recovery moves, the healing part of moves like Absorb, & Volt Absorb/Water Absorb in its entirety. Other abilities & items which recover HP are unaffected.
4. When did Solid Rock get nerfed? I could've sworn it reduced S. E. Damage by 2/3, not 3/4... Solid Rock only reduces SE Damage by 1/4, or 75% of the normal damage is dealt.

...Oh, and am I the only one that seems to realize how much the Fifth generation SUCKS!?! The new Pokemon are beond overpowered (and hideous!), the subject of Yin vs. Yang is unoriginal, and the new mechanics are a wee bit too confusing (Miricle Shooter? WTH?). ...Sorry, I had to get that off my chest. That's your opinion, not mine. I like Generation V.

So, as always, thanks to all who answer (especially the last question ;) ). Yeah, I answered.

I was reading the guide for 4th gen RNG manipulation, and it wasn't completely clear on whether the frame # advances with time like it did in Emerald as well as with steps/journal flipping. Does it still advance with time?
 
Im really confused about the move Brave Bird for Ho Oh, when does he learn it? It says level 15 on bulbapedia, how is that even possible? How do i teach it this move?

Use the Move Relearner in Blackthorn City (If you're playing HG/SS). If you have a Heart Scale, you can make Ho-oh relearn Brave Bird.

Use the rng thread in the future. But, no. It changes with actions (yours or NPCs).

6. If I have a Milotic using Sleep Talk while asleep and it uses Refresh, will it wake up?
Yes
7. You know how in the Battle Tower, your opponents can't switch freely? Does that make using S. Rock a bad call?
Yes if using an offensive threesome. If using a defensive threesome with phazers SR is viable.

Where would i post here, if i dont have a full team but want some ideas on putting one together? I have Mattj's modest Mew and wanted some ideas for him. Special sweeper?

Can Balloon pop through a substitute? Also, does Balloon evade Spikes/Toxic Spikes?

No, it does not pop under either circumstance. And 5th gen questions go in the Uncharted forum.

Here works as well as anywhere.

In addition to what Atheno said, I believe Skull Bash does as well.

Incorrect. It only raises Defence.

Well if you plan on using Mew, that means you're gonna have to be playing ubers. The first step is whether or not you actually want to play in such a tier.
 
Thanks for earlier, Texas Cloverleaf. Sorry, but I have one more question...Sorry.

Where do I post questions about the Battle Tower? And team ideas...?

Edit: Thanks as always, Random and Zeph. You, too, Athenodoros. And congrats on the new title.

Questions go here, teams go in the RMT forum under other, I think.

I don't think BT teams go in the RMT forum, because they are really for competitive teams. They should be posted here or in the Battle Tower thread if assistance is needed, because people can give short answers there.

EDIT: Don't worry then. Learn something new every day!

Battle Tower teams are permitted under Rule 15 of the RMT Forum Rules.
 
I don't understand, how does this work anyway? When you beat the E4 Raikou and Entei reborn? What? Can someone please explain the whole thing. Thank You.
 
In Generation IV, GF decided to introduce Regenerating Legendaries, so if you faint them or run away, they return to their spot after beating the E4. It's quite convenient, just in case you fuck up the first time.
