Does Synchonize work with the natures in this game? Because I'm trying to catch a good Heatran right now and I've only gotten 2 Modest out of about 10..

Another synchronize question... oddly enough. But anyway, here it goes, if a Pokemon with Lum Berry is effected by a status move that Synchronize would come into effect, would Synchronize come into effect THEN Lum Berry or does it work with just Lum Berry and no Synchronize this time around?

It just works for the legendaries that don't run. So, Mesprit, Cresselia are the only ones not affected by Synchronize. All the others have higher chance to get Synchronizer's Nature.
I see you're just unluck.

Humm... this was kinda confusing, but if you mean the Synchronizer is holding Lum Berry, the Lum Berry is eaten and no status is bounced back.

No, IIRC fearow learns Roost, WW and DP through Levelup.

My question is: How many EVs do the berries reduce IN EMERALD?

I don't understand. My question is how to get Roost, WW, and Drill Peck on one skarm without using a TM.

Reposting...Can I please have a Link too the top rated teams? The search is disabled, and I cant seem too find it. TY in advance.

Pretty sure Synch/Lum bounces back status.

And breed them from Fearow.

What if a pokemon had Focus Sash(Weavile). And another pokemon(Gengar), used Destiny Bond, Weavile kills Gengar. Would Weavile live?

When a move like Howl is used to raise attack by a stage, or Swords Dance to raise it by 2 stages.. how much is a stage? Is there a way to calculate it?

 

[TaiwaneseDude]

^ A stage is 50%.

I swear someone answered that already..

so +1 stage is 1.5x
+ 2 stage is 2x

What elemental puches are best for Rypereor?

ok,lets say you're mightyena has 200 att. ok

it uses howl (1 stage) his att is now 300 ( a 50% boost)

now if he woulda used swordance (2 stage) it would make his att 400 instead.

im pretty sure thats how those moves work,someone correct me if im wrong.

g.l.

1 Stage, multiply stat by 1.5.
2 Stages, multiply stat by 2.

And so on...

When are the IV's set for the lati's in emerald? Also if they're not set at the beginning of the game what is the best way to SR for them?

How does wi-fi battling differ from shoddy? I've heard that it is quite a bit different so I wanted to see what it was like. I'm just flatout tired of facing carbon-copy stall/sandstorm teams on shoddy let alone the program in general. I want to get ready for a real battle. Anyway, I guess all I really want to know is what are the most common threats? Thanks for any info.

 

[Quaziz]

2 Questions.

I know garchomp is ground but do electric attacks effect him??

And what are some other examples of Skarm-Bliss?? Like cresselia and ---
or --- and ---. I'm stuck

 

[Sui93]

@ Travisurfer

Wifi is not as fast as shoddy (obviously) which gives people with short attention spans the ability to use Stall teams. On wifi you can't cancel and redo your moves so it requires a lot more thinking. Also remember HP's. and wifi espcially Smogon from what i've seen is the home of the blissey.

There are more differences but i don't know them

 

[travisurfer]

Thanks sui. I've just been trying to get my foot in the door so I won't waste time breeding iv's. Are scarfchomp and scarfcross present? What about mamoswine?

Also remember that Hidden Powers are harder to get for WiFi use so certain Pokemon tend to be more rare than others.
