Yes, on the holder of Life Orb
Reposting my question for last post syndrome: What are the best Pokémon under Rain Dance excluding Manaphy? This includes Swift Swim, Hydration, Rain Dish, or what have you
Does Nature Power become Earthquake in Battle Subway?
Well, I originally cancelled my post before because I didn't think it was too useful, but I'll type it again anyways: Kingdra, Ludicolo, Kabutops, Tornadus/Thundurus, Scizor, Ferrothorn, Dragonite, Starmie, Latios (Or Latias for more bulk), Toxicroak, Lapras, Gastrodon, and I think I'm missing a few.. But I don't have too much experience actually using Rain in Flat-battle Singles (I use rain in Triples), so I'm not sure what works best together.
Let me reword it...
"Does it erase the effect when the one with Unburden uses Thief to grab another item." Doesn't matter though. Found out earlier by checking Veekun. Any new items gained removes the effect.
Smogon is a fantastic counter to Speed Boost Blaziken.
Since PO has it unbanned, you either have to ignore it until the Smogon server is back up or you can try using Slowbro to counter Stone Edge Blaziken, while Gyarados counters Shadow Claw Blaziken
The text I bolded is what I think is the best line in this thread so far.
Also, Choice Band Azumarill counters all Blaziken variants with Aqua Jet, as max attack CB Aqua Jet always KO's Blaziken with no defensive investment, and there's little reason to invest in Blaziken's bulk. You could also try out the Smogon Tiers that are currently being hosted by PO if you don't want to use the aforementioned pokemon.
ILL USE AZUMARILLL
Chandelure, because of his immunity to Blaziken's STABs. You have to be wary of Stone Edge though.
I was lead to believe that the standard variant uses Protect and Sword Dance, while the SE/SC variants are the second most-common sets.
STOP SHOUTING PLZ
I think this is just bad luck; just click the button to go back to your house on your 9th step before you reach the tree if you haven't befriended any pokemon or found any items.
THAT HAPPENED 10 TEN TIMES -.- okay
Then I have no idea. Is there anything in a Nintendo FAQ or something to that effect?
Wow. No one knows this answer. Guess its up to me to try to research it.
Edit: counldt find anything.
Nature is randonised everytime. No mixxed natures, nor does the parents nature affect a pokemon's nature.
Did this problem occur after you had already made several trips through the Dreamworld? If so, the reason you stopped running into Pokemon is because the site only allows you to find a certain number of Pokemon and items per day, after which there won't be anything anywhere.
Edit:
This hasn't been updated since March, and it is stated at the top that it is a work in progress, but it's the only thing I can find, and it's from somewhere on Smogon:
For an RU drifblim set, which of these would be better?
Drifblim (M) @ Starf Berry Trait: Unburden
EVs: 252 HP / 136 Def / 116 SDef / 4 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Stockpile
- Disable
- Baton Pass
or
Drifblim (M) @ Chesto Berry
Trait: Unburden
EVs: 252 HP / 136 Def / 116 SDef / 4 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Stockpile
- Rest
- Baton Pass
The aim of both sets is to pass defense boosts and possibly a massive substitute to a pokemon that can proceed to sweep. With Unburden, wich can't be passed :(, it allows both sets to successfully baton pass when they desire, thanks to the speed boost. The chestorest set can achieve this easier, as it has viable recovery one time. However, the starf berry set is banking on a different approach, what you do is stockpile 1 or 2 times, and then the berry activates to give a +2 boost to any stat, which is HUGE. Then you can disable the opponent's move they have been hitting you with during this time, and baton pass. This set would most likely prompt a switch, and has the potential to give useful boosts in attack or speed besides the stockpile defenses, however a substitute most likely wouldnt happen.

@WinstonShnozwick: Starf Berry (and all the other pinch berries as well) is illegal at the moment (and probably will be for the next five years, given the speed that the Dream World updates) and there's no Dream World RU tier (and there never will be), so the first Drifblim set you posted is illegal. People here call Game Freak Troll Freak for a reason. Your sets do seem interesting though.
Starf Berry is legal. The normal pinch berries are not.
@Virizion: When and where was Starf Berry released, then?
