Kirby could transform like Ditto though. :p

 

[GEPH]

Can Smeargle Baton Pass a Magnet Rise (to, say, Electivire)?

Still wondering.

 

[Volarion]

How come the analysis doesn't include giga-impact on slaking? He doesn't move the next turn anyway due to truant. What's the reason for not using giga impact?

With truant, it is usually in Slaking's best interest to switch out to avoid wasting a turn. Giga Impact would take away his ability to do so.

Uhm, you can just switch out after it, just like return.

 

[Eki]

Giga Impact, aswell as Hyper Beam, stops all activity on your next turn, iirc.

Seeing as Fake Out is 100% Flinch, can't you just keep using it as it goes first and then the opponent won't get to attack? I don't get it.

Fake Out only works on the first turn your Pokemon is out. All Fake Outs after that will fail.

 

[No_Chocolate]

Fake Out's flinch side effect only works the first time you use it IIRC.

 

[.River]

Oh, guess there has to be some down side..

 

[Blu]

uh how and where do you join Tournaments here? o_o

 

[Orwell]

Does anyone know how I can check the legitimacy of Pokemon without Pokesav? If not, can someone point me in the direction of someone who does?

 

[aura_lucario]

I remember there was a link to a website that helped made sure you did not waste EVs. Does anyone know the link to the site?

Need advice from some Glaceon users!

What are 2 Pokemon that work well with a choice specs Glaceon with Ice Beam/Shadow Ball/HP Fighting/Sleep Talk? I was playing around on PBR wifi with my Glaceon and that thing has some crazy firepower, so I want to try to work her into my team. She has a lot of weaknesses though, so I need a couple guys who work well to absorb fighting/fire/rock hits and cripple her counters.

 

[aura_lucario]

Gliscor would seem to resist the fire/fighting/rock hits and could cripple all of those type pokemon with Earthquake and Aerial Ace

 

[Dan Dan]

Earthquake wouldn't work really since it hits your team as well, and PBR is 2v2. Maybe a Follow Me Clefable?

 

[aura_lucario]

You can actully make it 1 vs 1 on PBR wifi so I assumed he did that.
I am also repeating my question:

[Raikou]

PBR is not 2v2 unless you specify it that way, I just play 1v1.

Oh I have another question. I use a Suicune with Surf/IceBeam/CM/Rest, and the last time I went head to head with a Blissey, the other guy forfeited. So will CM Cune outstall a standard SeismicToss Blissey? Can it outstall a CM one? 6 CM's allows Surf to 2HKO Bliss iirc.

 

[Orwell]

Does Destiny Bond only work if your speed is higher?

Also, does anyone know how I can check the legitimacy of Pokemon without Pokesav? If not, can someone point me in the direction of someone who does?

 

[Eki]

I've KO'd a pokémon in the battle tower with my paralyzed Gengar by using Destiny bond as the second, followed by the next turn where the opponent KO'd Gengar, and with him, itself.

Several questions about the analysis for Azumarill.

[EVs]
The primary EV set given in the sets is optimal; it lets you outspeed Blissey without sacrificing too much defensive power. If you don't care at all about getting the jump on her, give 248 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def / 4 SpDef a whirl; it's slightly more defensive.

1) Wouldn't it be better to focus more on the defenses, rather than HP seeing how Azumarill already has 100 Base HP iirc?

There are some legality issues with this set; If you use Body Slam, you are locked into Ice Punch and Focus Punch. If you use Superpower, you are locked into Double-Edge and Aqua Jet. If you use Aqua Jet, you are locked into Double-Edge and Focus Punch and finally if you use Ice Punch you are locked into Focus Punch.

2) First it says, Superpower - Double-Edge - Aqua Jet is together. But then it states Focus Punch - Double-Edge - Aqua Jet? I'm confused.

[SET]
name: Choice Bander
move 1: Waterfall
move 2: Double-Edge / Body Slam
move 3: Focus Punch / Superpower
move 4: Aqua Jet / Ice Punch
item: Choice Band
ability: Huge Power
nature: Adamant
evs: 212 HP / 252 Atk / 44 Spd

3) Since I don't have Emerald, Body Slam and Ice Punch would be out of the question. So I'm left with either FP or Superpower? Since I like Superpower over FP, how would I get Aqua Jet and Superpower onto my Azumarill?

Thanks.

 

[Orwell]

So Destiny Bond has negative priority?

Hack it. That moveset's illegal.

No, neutral.

Quick question about vitamins. I had a Shroomish with 56 Attack EVs (30 of which were from Proteins). I bought 7 more Proteins so I wouldn't have to EV train as much. After i used like 4 proteins, it wouldn't let me use anymore. I thought you were allowed to get 100 EVs from vitamins. What's wrong?
