That can also stand for 'Castle Points' or 'Battle Points' currency used in the Battle Frontier.
No. Tri-Attack is a Normal-typed move, whereas Motor Drive is activated by Electric-typed moves.
no, i mean, what should I offer in a trade if i want pp maxes?
Depends on who you want them from. Go ask someone if they have them, and then see what they want for them. It's kinda subjective, there's no set rule to say what an item is worth.
yeah, but losing 12% health every turn isnt helpful, and you lose the 6% health you would have from lefties. So every turn you run flame orb over lefties you have 18% less health than usual.
Hi, all these teams in RMT that say peaked at #xxxx, peaking where?? Is there some sort of competition or is it on shoddy or what?
24/232+ Blissey gets taken down 28% after SR, 66% after SR + SS, so that's not helping there.
24/232+ Blissey gets taken down with SR and SS anyway.
Bold Blissey can easily switch out to a ghost, I'd rather not stay in and Softboiled because you can easily get critted.
24/232+ Blissey gets 2HKOed after SR anyway.
Blissey's not beating Gengar anyway unless the Gengar player mispredicts and Blissey manages to get off a Twave on it.
Most Gengars are SubSplit, so Blissey's not beating it anyway.
LO Shaymin is better, and that's only if you run Modest Shaymin. Even Subseed Shaymin beats Blissey.
Houndoom is nonesistant, I'd rather be more worried about Infernape because Houndoom is outclassed.
Most OU RD teams don't even have room for Omastar since they mostly include Kabutops, Kingdra, and Ludicolo + 3 supporters. However, I'll give you that point.
The most powerful Pokemon are already mentioned above and how 24/232+ Blissey already struggles against them. What else could be stronger?
Not sure if this is the right place for this but I thought I'd ask anyway.
As you all know Pokemon Black and White come out in around a month. Now I can be impatient sometimes and as a result am looking to import one of the games. I was wondering if anyone knows of a reliable website that is willing to ship the game to the US. This is all assuming that the games will work on a US DS (I own a DS Lite). If they won't work then I won't bother to import, obviously. Any help would be appreciated.

...Stone Edge? It's a TM purchasable for 80 battle points at the Battle Frontier.
No, its possible for dugtrio to learn stone edge from a TM.
couldnt find anywhere else.
how do you post a Show/hide thing?
how do you post a Show/hide thing?
When making a post, the farthest icon above the text area (the - in the yellow box) can be clicked to generate the code. You just enter the information you want to hide between the code.
Alternatively, you can just type stuff between [ hide ] and [ /hide ] without the spaces.
Does anyone know why in the analysis Liquid Ooze is recommended over Clear Body on Tentacruel's defensive/utility sets?
Wouldn't it be better to have Clear Body to prevent the chance of his either of his defenses dropping?

I know you won't need attack and yeah I know no one uses pure debuffer moves. I'm talking about secondary effects however like Shadow Ball or Crunch's ability to lower your defenses.
I certainly can see the merits of countering subseed Breloom or Celebi, but it seems you'd run into pokemon that would lower your defenses through secondary chances more likely.
I suppose that could happen, though that is like battle armor vs sniper on drapion. I think the 10% chance shadow ball lowers your defense is negligible in comparison too the ability to counter sub seeders. also, the only 3 pokemon which carry shadow ball in OU carry thunderbolt with it (gengar, jolteon, rotom -a), so you shouldnt really stay in on them. Neither should you stay in in crunch, since tentacruel is a special defender
Okay, for competitive battling, Mold Breaker is usually the better ability on Pinsir. But what about for in-game? I'm gonna use a Pinsir on my SoulSilver team, and I think that Hyper Cutter may be the better ability to use, since my Pinsir is gonna learn Swords Dance, and it would suck to lose half of the boost to an Attack dropper. But, I also think that Mold Breaker could have its uses, especially since Intimidate isn't as much of a threat in-game as it is in competitive battling, and I'm not so sure that there are too many Pokémon in-game that use Attack-lowering moves. So, which ability is better for Pinsir in-game?
