Looking for a Tentacruel (liquid Ooze) with HP-Electric, and Rapid Spin. and if possible Giga Drain.. And Near or Flawless...
Done.. NO need anymore.

cores? like one super effective on another and keeps going around? well,
ground, electric, water
ground, fire, grass
dark, ghost, bug
etc.
but if you were going with a main team member, i personaly like basing teams off of gengar or a tank like torterra.
I'm working towards completing my Pokedex, and I'm just wondering what Pokemon I need to actually catch because they're not able to breed. I know things like baby Pokemon, Legendaries/Ubers, Nidorina/Nidoqueen, etc., cant breed because the game wont allow. When I look up lists of Pokemon that are unable to breed, it only shows me baby Pokemon and Legendaries/Ubers, but I need to know what else and by that I mean things like Ditto, Smeargle, and so on. Things I need to catch in the game, but just cant use to breed to make an egg form of it and hatch it.
I'm mainly concentrating on generations 2-4 right now and I just feel like I've never completed those games, and I want to finish the Pokedex on those generation games. I have yet to continue my Black version, and even though I don't know much about the Pokemon in 5th gen it would be helpful to me to list in Pokemon that cant breed either in gen 5.
Thanks to whoever can post this information.

Alright, I'm new to the community like probably 500,000 of the other people here. I've been lurking around the forums for a couple of weeks now and go PO like 2 weeks ago. I've faced this a couple of times and I don't know how to counter it effectively w/o using a CS Poke. Problem Poke is Darminitan @ CS with 252 atk / 252 speed and just spams Flare Blitz. Would Swampert be a viable Poke to absorb the spam?
Hey, aost, you want to ask that in this thread
And the answer to your question is yes.
A 252 HP / 252 Def Relaxed SRer Swampert: 28-33% from a Scarf Flare Blitz, a 4-5HKO.
With Sunshine, however, Flare Blitz from Darmanitan will do 42% min, so it's a solid 3HKO.
Here is a damage calculator for you that can do this for you:

Defensive Gyarados can do the job better with SRs off the field, thanks to Intimidate.

Perfect answer! I'll see if I can fit Swampert or Gyarados to my team because my team seems weak to physical fire's like Darminitan and Infernape even through the rain especially if it is running Choice Scarf.
Transform Reply
For example if a ditto transformed into a Zangoose it would give attack EVs when defeated.
If it transforms it does give EVs of the Pokemon that it transformed into.

^Thanks a lot!
Now I got another EV related question, this time is about Dunsparce. According to serebii's 4th gen pokedex, Dunsparce yields 1HP EV point. However in its 3rd gen pokedex it says it yields 1DEF EV point after the battle (http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-rs/206.shtml).
Can anyone confirm any of these? Cause I'm training a suicune on 3rd gen and I cannot afford to commit a mistake there >_<
For the Smogon Pokemon Page, which version (R/B, G/S, R/S, D/P) would I use for Leaf Green?
R/S
It's HP. Also, I heard that the legendary beasts roaming around Kanto have low IV's, like less than 3. Just checking to make sure you knew that. Charmander was probably your starter, right?
Alright, thank-you.
Yah I was aware of that, that's why I only went for nature when SR for it. Apparently that rule applies to every stat except HP, but meh, it's meant for ingame anyway not competitive (hence I can always restart colosseum and catch a better one =P).
bug bite vs x scissor
on scizors smogon page, it has bug bite, i know technician boosts it but does it really power it up enough to do more damage than x-scissor? i really don't want to use a move with that little power, but if it really does more than x-scissor.
this is up against a team of ubers, with dark and electric being the only type it matters on.

@Smogo
Bug Bite's base power is 60, so multiply that by 1.5 (Technician boost), and you've got a 90 power attack. X - Scissor is 80, so yes, Bug Bite does more damage than X - Scissor.
