This stumped me when I got my first wishbliss. On my Serene Grace one I run wish/CM/Bolt/Beam, on my natural cure one I run wish/protect/toxic/ice beam

More importantly: how the hell do you sketch Baton Pass onto Smeargle? Need it for my new Absols...

If you are in a 2v2 battle you can go in with smeargle and something that knows BP. Only those 2 and it should fail and you can sketch it. Otherwise you need to put the BP'er to sleep and then sketch while it is sleeping.

 

[Anti]

Ah go with only 2 pokemon so it fails! genius! ta.

 

[Kagemizu]

@ double battle cafe. with only 2 pokes the smeargle and the baton passer be sure the passer is faster then smeargle. have Smeargle use sketch on your batonpasser since it fails to baton pass there you have it

didnt realize i was late

 

[Pojopembo]

You're right, you have to enter a battle, you dont have to actually battle though, you can flee and it will still pass.

Since when could eggs catch pokerus? I can't remember if the could in the 3rd gen, but i was shocked when they did on pearl

Just one, because I've just tried that and it isn't working, either with the Pokerus 'mon in the lead, or the level 1 I want to transfer to leading.

 

[Wilhemina]

Do moves such as Counter, Avalanche, or other counterattack-like moves work with Substitute? Would Counter hit and/or will Avalanche get its power boost?

 

[timw06]

Avalanche and Revenge yes. Not sure about counter.

I have been training with Macho brace and Pokerus as it is simple. I will switch to power Items if Pokerus doubles them.

It does.

 

[pika_power]

So the formula is (original pokemon+power item)*2 right? Not (original pokemon*2)+power Item.

 

[Great Sage]

Yes, your new formula is correct.

 

[Lady Lilith]

If my Celebi works ingame on PBR, will it work on Wi-Fi for sure?

Is there any reason for pokemon having different gender ratios (like the starters)

Anyone got a site that has everything about berries? (which berry grows fast, chances of getting 3 or more, what does sprinkling water do, these stuff)

EDIT : good statuser for thunder wave/hypnosis? good status absorber? will starmie do fine?

 

[SpiderPig]

If a rampardos has mold breaker, can it earthquake a levitating pokemon?

[mingoo1109]

Serebii.. I didn't think of that.. =(
Anyone know what water sprinkling exactly does??

 

[cornflake]

It's always 3 BP, except when you beat the Tower Tycoon (battle 21), then you'll get 20 BP. But then it goes back to 3 BP and yeah.

Not true. After the Tower Tycoon, you get 20 bp. The NEXT 7-set, you win 4 bp. The next, 5 bp. And so on, I think. I haven't gotten that far.

 

[marrilpet]

If you water the bush once per cycle, you get more berries. At least, that's how it worked in R/S/E.

 

[cornflake]

To screw around with you. Seriously, it's annoying as hell to get a female starter from eggs.

 

[mingoo1109]

What do you mean by once per cycle? And exactly how many berries do you get more?

EDIT: I know I asked this before, but didn't get it answered clear enough. What do the power items do? like lens, anklet and stuff that's supposed to get you more EV's??

I heard you get 4 EV's into a stat? like you battle a rapidash who gives 2 Speed EV's, and you equip an item that gives 4 HP EV's. you get 2 spd/ 4 hp ev? or just 2 spd ev? or just 4 hp ev?

On the cycles, Serebii lists those times. Just water the plant once every one of those time intervals (ie, every 3 hours) As for getting more berries, you usually get 2 or three more, up to the max.

As for the power items, you get both: 2 SPD EVs, 4 HP EVs

When you baton pass, do you baton pass the move, for example "Agility".
Or does it baton the stats that have changed, for example "Ninjask used Agility with 416 so it double and gains 416 speed. Does it pass the 416?

No, it passses the stat boosts.

In your example, after one Agility, the receiving pokemon would receive a 2x speed boost. Three Agilities (6 stages) would result in passing a 4x boost, etc.

In case you don't know them, the stat stages:

-6 - 2/8
-5 - 2/7
-4 - 2/6
-3 - 2/5
-2 - 2/4
-1 - 2/3
0 - 2/2
1 - 3/2
2 - 4/2
3 - 5/2
4 - 6/2
5 - 7/2
6 - 8/2
