Anyone? I didn't understand Forbidden's response. And how do power items really work?

The Pokerus and Macho Brace combo quadruples the EVs you get. So in your examples, Gible would be getting 8 EVs. And Dratini would get 4 in your second example. As for the Power items, on top of what you normally get, you get 4 EVs in the stat the item corresponds to. Pokerus is factored in AFTER this. Example: Your Gible has the Attack Power item and beats a Magikarp (1 Speed). Gible gets 2 Speed and 8 Attack EVs. Without Pokerus, Gible would get 1 Speed and 4 Attack.
 
So..

If Gible was facing a Floatzel (2 speed), and Gible held the power speed item and had Pokerus, after beating that Floatzel, Gible would get.. 12 speed EV's?

And Gible facing a Floatzel (2 speed) with a power attack item along with Pokerus would be getting 4 speed, 8 attack?

I gotta get me some power items then. :)

Thank you ^_^
 
Is a sleep-inducer and a paralyzer too much status? E.g. Togekiss and Breloom on the same team...Or is it good to have mor ethan one statuser with sleep clause?

Yep, that's right. Set that Lucario I gave you loose in the battle tower and back him up with some of your stuff and you'll be able to afford them real easy.

A question of my own, which I've asked before: What happens if you lose to Dialga/Palkia in regards to its IVs?
 
Bellydrum takes 50% and Sub takes 25% which leaves you with 25% hp. You'll need a number divisible by 4 to have exactly 25% hp after sub+belly drum.
 
I know I've read about this before, but it sounded weird. My eggs have been hatching early.

When I say early, I mean I'll pick up an egg when I think there are 255 steps left for it to hatch, and then BAM! at 230 steps, the egg hatches. Does this make any sense? Has anyone experienced it before?
 
In more understandable terms (no offense, forbidden), a Charizard with a 31 HP IV and 0 HP EVs has 297 HP. To get something divisible by 4 for Salac Berry purposes, you need 3 more HP to get to 300, i.e. 12 HP EVs.

Wait, Leftovers? (saw the post only after refreshing) If it's holding a berry, there is no Leftovers...

None taken, I can't use actual hp numbers since I STILL don't know how to convert base stat into actual lvl.100 stats. =(
 
How much is too much status with regard to the question asked?
Too much status is very subjective and situational. Generally, it's not advised to have more than 2 different types of status out of paralysis, burn, and poison; having an additional sleeper is acceptable due to Sleep Clause's limitation.
 
When a pokemon is confused, how is the self-inflicted damage calculated (hurt itself in the confusion)? Is it simply the selected move's base power against the pokemon's defensive stat? Are STAB and type weakness factored in? BTW, it was Serebii's lack of inclusion in the status article that prompted my curiosity...

self inflected moves have a base 40 attack and with no typing (ie you cant be immune SE, NVE) also it clacuated with your atk and def stats
