What EV spread should I give my Slaking? The analysis said to go with 252/252 attack and speed, but I want my Slaking to take a few hits.
 
With Defensive Base stats of 150/100/65 you could give him some Sp. Def EVs, but Slaking is mostly "hit and run", so you'll be switching all the time, and therefore, not taking a lot of hits.

EDIT: @Flash_Gearz, only if it'd be Super Effective I think, but as Normal isn't Super Effective against anything, it stays 157,5BP
 
I still don't know if I should reset my 12/31/29/29/29/1 Quiet Heatran. Would you guys be interested in it if I kept it?
 
Okay, so I've become really interested in leading with a Dusknoir in doubles to set up TR/Gravity/etc., and I was trying to come up with the best pokemon to lead with it so it doesn't get swept, Taunted, or generally owned before it gets a TR off. So I thought about using this Infernape...
I need help with all the EVs and stuff, though, so I'll post that last, but what I've got so far is this:

Infernape@Focus Sash
Blaze
Adamant
-Fake Out
-Mach Punch
-Blaze Kick
-Stone Edge/Rock Slide/Taunt/U-Turn

Okay, here's the rationale behind this: Infernape leads with your Trick Roomer, let's say Dusknoir. The Focus Sash is so that he can survive an Explosion from Gengar, which he has no real hope of stopping.

Fake Out is pretty much a must: with priority and guaranteed flinching, it stops Gyarados from Taunting, other leads from setting up, and Focus Sashers hoping to get at least one hit in on you during TR. Also, if he comes out again later, he can use the free flinch however he sees fit.

Mach Punch is there for STAB priority move, which means he doesn't have to automatically switch out once TR is in place.

Blaze Kick is for STAB physical Fire attack, for whatever it needs. I choose Blaze Kick over Flare Blitz because the recoil from Flare Blitz would make the Focus Sash useless.

Then we have the last move. Stone Edge is for coverage and power. Rock Slide is there for the same reason as Stone Edge, but hits both opponents and can be used for flinching, but is less powerful. Taunt stops Dusknoir from setting up, but Fake Out overall probably stops set-up better. U-Turn is there to hit Cressilia and Ludicolo and if you wanna switch out.

Now, for the EVs...obviously, I wanna run 252 atk, but then there's speed; do I want it to be lower so Infernape can function a bit better in TR, or should it be close to max regardless? If I'm not putting full EVs into speed, what should I put them in? HP? Y'see, I'm horrible with Magic Numbers, so I really don't know which EVs I should be shooting for.


Also, don't tell Blaziken about this. >_>
 
How does Shedinja learn Swords Dance? It says it can learn it in the analysis, but I checked Serebii/Psypokes/Shoddy and all of them say that Shedinja cannot learn Swords Dance. I checked both the RSE and DP pages of Shedinja/Nincada and none of them learn Swords Dance by level up/TM/breeding. Netbattle says Shedinja learns Swords Dance by level up but that doesn't seem so. Someone please help me, because either someone made a mistake somewhere or I'm extremely stupid.
 
If you have a pokemon with Sychronise Ability( Umbreon) and you give it a flame orb, will it burn the foes pokemon also? And exactly how much does burn cut attack power by?
 
I think any of the moves you teach Ninjask when it evolves also get transferred to Shedinja. Swords Dance is one of those moves.

Now time for my own question: Can you stack Luck Incense and Amulet Coin? That is to say, if I were to lead with a Pokemon with the Amulet Coin in a battle, then switch to a Pokemon with the Luck Incense, would I get x2 the money like normally, or would I get 4x the money?
 
Is this a good Salamence? It's kind of a Skamory Blissey killer, like TyraniBoah.

Salamence@WhiteErb
Lonely/Naive,129 attack, 129 special attack, 252 speed
DracoMeteor
BrickBreak
Crunch/ EarthQuake
Flamethrower.
:jump:

No, they do not stack. I've tried it, and it didn't work.
