Thought you put (if they were both halved) in there too. Must have been my eyes x_x

Just want total confirmation, but I have a question:

When Pal Parked, can traits of ADV pokemon have a chance to change into a trait gained in DP?

Question about Wish: Is the only way to a Pokemon without Wish to be healed by it to Baton Pass it, or can you switch/u-turn and still pass on the Wish?

Also, are there any punch move tutors in D/P or are they emerald only? Need to get Ice and Fire punch on a few Pokemon and don't have emerald.

 

[Bouledogue1990]

wish does not need baton pass to pass, you can do it by switching.

No there are not any elemental move tutors, there is only elemental hyper beams and draco meter. Try seeing if the pokemon can be bred the punches that would be the only way besides trading.

yes, my porygon's ability turned to download which is a bit annoying.

i believe you can switch and use u-turn. theres no punch tutors in D/P

Thanks for the info. I would check on breeding, but Serebii seems to have been down all weekend =(

I tried thiefing light ball from wild pikachu for the past two days but no luck. Is this thing even possible? According to serebii, wild pikachu have a chance of holding one...

yes...i suggest u use a thief compoundeyes butterfree. compoundeyes raises the chance of finding pokemon with hold items by 50%...i think.

What's a good Magnezone set without Hidden Power? I bred a pretty good one, but not the right HP Type.

I'm pretty sure the standard without Hidden Power is:

Thunderbolt
Flash Cannon
Explosion/Thunder Wave
Substitute

 

[Maxwell]

how do I catch wild beldum?

 

[Juuka]

Beldum swarm on Route 228. They're a bitch to catch though...

KLUTZ IS A GOOD ABILITY WITH SNEAK. It has been answered.



sanjay >> Sanjay kthx. Caps look weird. I'd use Giratina or Lugia for defenses. Keep the EVs for Lucario/Mewtwo on the offensive.

Alright, sanjay. I'm probably going to go with Giratina then, because Mewtwo's already a psychic and it would expand my coverage a bit, plus not so much of a SR weak.

You wouldn't mind terribly if I occasionally PM'd you questions about team dynamics, would you? There's not much as far as Ubers guides anywhere and you're one of the few players I know.

What happens if Torment is used on a Choice item user?

 

[Taishaku]

Do Light Screen and Reflect stack? What's the reduction on them?

 

[Drew108]

Struggle every second turn.

 

[ToP]

Do Light Screen and Reflect stack? What's the reduction on them?

You can't use Light Screen/Reflect more than once per 5 turns. The moves each reduce attacks by 50%. The benefit of using them though, is that you can use either one with one pokemon, then switch (Regular switch, that is, although Baton Pass/U-turn work too) to another pokemon and retain the boost.

I meant, having one Screen and one Reflect up. It is possible, right? Both reduce each respective attack by 50%?

For ingame, it doesn't matter which ability, though Cute Charm is more useful ingame.

Solar Power: When Sunny Day is in effect, HP decreaes, but Sp.Atk Raises.

How much does the Sp.Atk increase and how much decrease in HP?

 

[Tazzler]

1.5 Satk boost and 1/16 HP decrease iirc.

It's like one Calm Mind and Leftovers that loses HP.

Can a Special Defense focused Dusknoir take on a Choice Specs Salamence? If so, what is the best way to make a Dusknoir that does so? EVs, moveset, etc. wanted.

 

[bkkinneas]

should my arcanine have flash fire or intimidate? im using a choice band set, so he wouldn't be able use sunny day to add up with flash fire, but i have a forretress on my team who is real good at baiting fire attacks, so i dunno...

Overall, Intimidate is more useful, but under certain circumstances, Flash Fire can be really handy. Personnally, I'd go with Intimidate since Arcanine will be switching in and out a lot (because it has a Choice Band). Also Flash Fire will really only benfit one of his moves (and even then, only if you choose it with the CB restriction).
