Well, maybe for steels, but steels usually don't switch in on starmie anyway. Nice surprise, I guess. Ice beam covers grass though.
 
Even then, there really isn't. A neutral Surf hits for 142, 2 damage more than a Super Effective Hidden Power Fire.
 
Does Life Orb/Muscl Band/Wise Glasses power up the Base Damage of the Attack or the stat of the respective Attack type(Attk=Physical Sp Atk=Special)

Also does Pokemon with Scrappy hit Spiritomb with Supereffective if using gfighting moveS?

Life Orb boosts all attacks by 30%, Muscle Band boosts all physical attacks by 10%, and Wise Glasses boosts all special attacks by 10%. Silk Scarf, Twisted Spoon, Magnet, etc. boost their respective types by 20%.
 
In the Analysis section, would it be acceptable to list not fully evolved Pokemon that work great in UU (such as Charmeleon), where there fully evolved forms are BL or higher?

And how would you go about getting an analysis put up?

Question
Can a person use NFE's in lower tiers such as tangela and electabuzz. I see no problem with using them since they have been in UU in previous geneterations. The reason i brought this up was people complaining about my team with NFE's saying that since tangrowth and electivire are OU they are grouped in the fully evolved forms tier. Thanks

Actually, I think Wise Glasses/Muscle Band are 20%, but I might be wrong.

Also, does anyone know what happens if you lose to Dialga or Palkia in-game?

I see no problem with it. NFEs are on a lower tier than UUs. I use a Charmeleon that's been really effective.

Grouping them with their fully-evolved tiers is stupid.

Yes, gligar is popular in UU.But things that have advantages over the fully evolved full is diffrent(Pikachu).

Just to clarify:

X-Act said:
Muscle Band - IT = 1.1 if the move used is physical, IT = 1 otherwise.
Wise Glasses - IT = 1.1 if the move used is special, IT = 1 otherwise.
Type-boosting items, plates and incenses - IT = 1.2 if the move used is of the same type as the type that the item, plate or incense boosts, IT = 1 otherwise.
Adamant Orb - IT = 1.2 if the user is Dialga and the move used is Steel or Dragon type, IT = 1 otherwise.
Lustrous Orb - IT = 1.2 if the user is Palkia and the move used is Water or Dragon type, IT = 1 otherwise.
Any other item - IT = 1.

What's a good Battle Tower Aromatherapy Blissey? I was thinking of Ice Beam/Counter/Aromatherapy/Softboiled, but this leaves no room for T-waving everything that comes in. Ghots could wall me if it has Counter, and I want her to be able to fight if she's the last one standing. Is that even necessary? The primary purpose of this Blissey is to heal up the team, as Latios no longer carries Lum Berry and Metagross' hold item is occupied by the Occa Berry.

I was also wondering if it would be wise to have both Latios and SpecsMence on the same BT team. I tried Lati@s once, and got my butt kicked by CH hax - Quilfish with Shadow Ball, and then Zangoose with Shadow Ball. And if not, is Aromatherapy Blissey a good option, or should I go with all-out attacking?
 
I hate asking this question, however, I'm at a bind...

I read the Gyarados analysis, and it is very, VERY hard to choose the moves that I want on the Bulky set. I know DDance and Taunt are a given, but it's the last two moves that make it really, REALLY hard. I am leaning on Ice Fang (it counters Garchomp pretty well), however, I am also wondering what would be a good final move? Earthquake would be quite useful to use since it hits many things hard (barring Bronzong, which would wall these 2 moves, and maybe one or two others), however, Waterfall gets decent STAB opportunities and hits many things hard, but of course, gets walled by Vaporeon / other Water types and Pokemon that have Dry Skin / Water Absorb.

To sum it up, for a moveset with Ice Fang / Taunt / DDance, would Earthquake or Waterfall work for a final move?

I'm sorry if this sounds complicated, but I thank the person that would give me a good opinion about it.

Go with Earthquake for the final move. There are too many Water types to make use of Waterfall.
 
I probably need to get started breeding soon, so I've got a quick question.

How can I check the IVs of a newly hatched pokemon?
 
IV battle is where you and someone else do a Lv100 battle over WiFi and then you input the stats of your pokemon into an IV calc to get it's exact IVs.
