I received a Japanese Chimchar (or Hikozaru, rather) that I suspect has high IVs. If I breed it with my Ditto holding an Everstone, will the nature still be passed on?

Ambiguity woot. Who will hold the Everstone, Ditto or Chimchar? The trick will only work if it's Ditto.
 
My Porygon-Z is currently ev'd with 40 HP, 252 SpAtk, 218 Spd. Now, I want to change this to 32 HP, 252 SpAtk, 224 Spd. I fed it a Pomeg berry, which should have lowered it's HP EV's to 30, and then fought 1 Bidoof (PZ had Pokerus, and the little smilie face is there) then I fought 3 Starly's.

According to Metalkids stat calc, Porygon-Z's stats on leveling up should have been 232 HP and 197 Speed. Instead, I got 233 HP, and 196 Speed. What did I do wrong? (And yes, that 1 speed/HP point matters)

Did you try fighting another starly? That could solve the problem, but if it doesn't work then you lost track of something somewhere.

@MrBubbles- Yes.
 
No, I didn't lose track. Although the setup before is really 40 HP, 252 SpAtk, 216 Spd, so I may have a random 2 EV's somewhere.

Now that I think about it, I don't know why I didn't do that before, I'll check.
 
Hmm, I checked, and my Porygon-Z doesn't have any random EV's. I tried two more times, and both times, I got 233 HP and 196 Speed, 1 off from what the stat calc says they should be.

I've still received no answer.

Thanks to anyone who answers! : )

To Captain Awesome:

As for the Togekiss EVs, I couldn't find them in the analyses. I'm guessing they're tankish, though, since you only need so much Speed if you paralyze something.
 
Basically, only use Spikes on Skarm if you have another Stealth Rock user (such as Swampert).


If the first pokemon in my party is holding Power Anklet and gains +5 Speed off a Starly, and all 5 of the other pokes are holding Exp. Share, do they all gain +5 Speed or just +1?

Just one.
 
I'm looking more for advice as appose to the answer of a question.

I was planning on teaching my Cresselia Charge Beam, until I realised it had HP electric with 67 power. I want it to have an electric attack, so should I go with more power and a bit more accuracy (HP electric) or a high chance of raising Sp Attack (Charge Beam)?

Oh yeah, actually I do have a question. If a pokemon has an effort ribbon, can its EVs still be altered?

1st Part: Charge Beam. Cress serves as a wall, and Charge Beam is really there to raise Sp. Atk so Cress can kill threats. Simple terms: Charge Beam wins.

2nd Part: Yes.
 
OK I've been breeding mudkips and this is what I have
All Impish
26/23/30/x/28/30 (only female, so fine for breeding)
30/24/30/x/17/29
31/30/13/x/17/30
31/26/21/x/27/30

should I stop now? if so, which should I use, and if I keep breeding, which mudkip should I use

The first and the fourth are amazing. You're already set, just need to decide if 401 HP is more important than a little more Defense.
 
Hi, i'm new here, been lurking for a while but I don't think I've ever posted.

Anyways, I have a question about Destiny Bond.

Whenever I use it, it doesn't always work. For instance, I just fought a weavile. He uses nightslash, I counter, we're both at 1 hp. I use destiny bond and he uses ice shard and it kills me.

Are there any exceptions to Destiny Bond's effectiveness? Does it not work on priority moves or others?

Could anybody please tell me the exceptions to destiny bond?

Destiny Bond has to go first in order to work.
