Under the assumption you wish to run fully physical or a mixed set with Hidden Power [Ice], reduce each of their Atk and Def IVs to 30.

Speed, even when it comes down to single digit numbers, can still play a role in determining who is going to win the tie; so you always want to make sure your Spd (on any Pokemon, that is) hits a particular number where you can outspeed Base (Spd. here) tier.

Is Stealth Rock + Whirlwind a legal combination on Hippopotas? (Smeargle is in the same egg group)

 

[AasTmO]

No, as SR is a gen IV TM and Whirlwind is a gen V Egg move. Roar + SR should work just fine though.
EDIT: Ninja'd below poster by 5 sec. Dang I feel cool.

No, Stealth Rock and Whirlwind are not a legal combination. Stealth Rock and Roar are, however.

Is Wailord generally considered a bulky pokemon? Even with it's below average defenses, a 0/252 Calm Wailord takes special hits better than a 252/0 Gyarados, and Gyarados is considered a bulky Pokemon.

 

[AasTmO]

The thing that makes Gyarados bulky is his excellent typing along with possible Intimidate. He's not bulky for a wall, he's bulky for an attacking pokemon. Wailord doesn't do good enough of a job at walling or attacking to be considered good.

While Wailord isn't very bulky, his high HP lets him to take some hits. It is also strongest Water Spouter outside of Ubers. But Wailord is by no way a good wall in OU.

How does one see battle logs, I think I saved them, but I haven't a clue where they are.

Edit: I found them :D

Care to share? I've been looking for them as well, found them once, but didn't save the link to the directory...

 

[haunter]

Assuming Windows, the directory should be C:\Documents and Settings\User\Pokemon Online

I was thinking about Curse And RestTalk wailord rather than a walling set, is it worth it?
And is ScarfLord woth water Spout viable in OU?

It's not viable in UU from what I know. I'd use something... anything else myself honestly. Hell, I'm pretty sure Scarf-Toad can hit harder with Hydro Pump and the power of his attack doesn't go down as his HP lowers either.

If you don't have an item does acrobatics activate technician?

 

[DDRMaster]

If you don't have an item does acrobatics activate technician?

No because the Base Power of Acrobatics is now 110.

Go to your pokemon online folder, inside the folder is a log folder.

 

[Layell]

can anyone tell me where to use this arceusvote password I have the dream world and such but I still have no idea and there doesn't seem to be any clear instructions

EDIT: Ahh figured it out, way to have annoying password Nintendo.

 

[AasTmO]

That's where the fun kicks in, as the logs were not there. Yes, I had save log crossed.

 

[Lady Alex]

Do a file search for the username you used in the match. You should be able to find it that way.

 

[Xylifex]

Which is a better Will-O-Wisp user on OU? Sableye or Dusclops?

 

[haunter]

Sableye, if only for prankster and taunt which allow it to not be complete set up fodder.

 

[RitterCat]

Sableye has the advantage of Prankster WoW, which lets it get off some last ditch WoWs and get the burn on faster mons, but it hard to switch in because it's so frail. Dusclops has much better bulk, so the decision is really between speed or bulk
EDIT: Ninja'ed @.@

 

[Nova]

If your opponent has Reflect up and you use Brick Break, will the damage be halved or normal?

 

[DHR-107]

I'm pretty sure it's normal damage because the Reflect is smashed before the damage is dealt iirc.

 

[AOPSUser]

Jellicent says hi.

Seriously, if you're thinking of using Wailord, go to Jellicent. It has way more Special bulk, comparable Physical bulk, more attacking power, Recover, Water Absorb, and the ability to spinblock. In other words, Jellicent is all Wailord is and more. It even has Water Spout.

 

[truevillany]

Ummmm Dark Void is illegal in VGC but Spore is not???

What am i missing here?
