Does a Burn Orb, in inflicting burn status, halve the attack damage of the pokemon holding it?
And does a Toxic Orb inflict toxic poisoning (i.e, a Breloom holding it will eventually heal 1/4 and then 1/2 it's HP in 1 turn?

What IVs are most crucial for Togekiss?

Your IVs? Preferably you want max HP and Defenses. Togekiss has a massive 120 base SAtk it can rely on. But what's more important than the IVS are how you spread your EVs to optimize your Togekiss. Don't invest EVs in Speed at all because you're going to be using Thunderwave or Body Slam (I prefer the prior, even if Ground types and Electivire can switch in) to Paralyze them, halving their speed.

Combined with Roost, Togekiss is a great Tank/Annoyer. One tactic I use is Thunderwave followed immediately by Roost to rid myself of Flying weaknesses and to force them to switch, as they aren't going to outrace me any time soon.
 
@californication
Toxic Orb inflicts TOXIC on the Pokemon and Flame Orb inflicts BURN onto Pokemon, so all of the things associated with these nasty statuses follow.

Toxic Orb Clefable w/ Magic Guard can use STAB Facade to wreak some serious havoc though.

Burn always lowers Attack unless the Pokemon has Guts. Also, Breloom's Poison Heal will always heal 1/8 regardless of the type of poison.
 
Ah thanks for the help.

So the pokemon will only gain the 1.5x boost from Guts, or will it have it's attack halved but then boosted again (to less than what it was originally) with Guts?
If it's the second case, doesn't that mean non-Facade attacks on a Swellow would do less damage than normal?
 
No, Guts completely ignores the attack drop and just gives the boost. The Attk would be 1.5x the original. It doesn't negate the burn damage.
 
If a Togekiss has both STAB moves, Nasty Plot, and Thunder Wave, then a rock or Steel Type would wall her, correct? In this case, would it be wise to give up one of those moves for a move offering appropriate type coverage?

Use either Thunder Wave or Body Slam, but not both. Togekiss could use Aura Sphere to cover Rocks/Steels (although you should probably switch when you run into them anyway).

Thank you. I intend to use Air Slash/Aura Sphere/Thunder Wave/Nasty Plot.

Also, why are Murkrows so hard to catch?

Grass Knot is also good choice in the fourth slot. Wish can go over Nasty Plot if you don't intend to use him to sweep, but rather for the Flinchhax.

What sweepers would cover this team's weaknesses (I probably need a good lead as well)?

I need some help badly. No one answered this question, and I need some advice as to what sweepers to use (as well as a lead). I have a bad habit of putting too many walls in my teams, and I don't want to make this mistake again. (I can't make an RMT, since my team is incomplete)




Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)
 
Only thing I can think of is a Psychic type (Alakazam or Azelf?) to take down Fighting types, and even then you have to watch out for Megahorn.

I am a bit concerned about Heracross, but Alakazam and Azelf can't really switch in with any degree of safety.
 
For EV training, does exp share net the same amount of EVs for the pogey holding the exp share?

I was ignored a few pages back.
 
How much does each stage change the stats of a PKMN? I was thinking of adding Ninjask to my team and changing my CScarf Heracross' item to Toxic/Flame Orb but I didn't know what percentage each stage changes.
 
Yes @ Wish Hax.

First stage- x1.5
Second- x2
Third- x2.5
Fourth- x3
Fifth- x3.5
Sixth- x4

I'm not too sure about when the stat gets lowered but I assume its the same as raised just negative.
 
Is that the definitive answer? If yes, thanks, it makes me look forward to Ninjask even more.

Toxic Orb or Flame Orb to activate Guts on Heracross?
 
I am trying to get Dragon Dance on a gible-gabite-garchomp, how do I do that? I have tried a bunch of different pokemon and they don`t work.
Also, is jolly a good nature for a Gyarados?
 
Thanks, I wish I had known that before I had like 9000 gibles running around in my boxes. That`s oka, most of the gibles have flamethrower and outrage on them, so maybe it was worth it...Seriously, I have 40 gibles in my pc. please laugh. =D
