So perfect IVs are illegal? How about if I make one 30 and have the rest perfect 31s?

Going off the previous post, however, some Legendaries cannot have perfect IVs.

Where does pokemon online save battle logs?

Also... for in game...
Can Dream World abilities be bred?
...if so...
Could I breed a Hustle NidoranF to get a Hustle NidoranM?

No, but perfect IVs throug use of Pokesav, Action Replay, etc. are illegal.

Not technically illegal (as far as I know), just frowned upon.
Heavily.

How can the game tell...? It never could before, so long as you did everything correctly. I'm talking Pokemon here that can be bred, not legends.

Oh. I see.

will the (legitamately bred) child of hacked parents be considered a hack by the hack checks that nintendo does at vgc?

 

[Lowen]

Will a child of two cheated parent-Pokemon (With usage of an AR, so that they have perfect IVs) be counted as cheat as well in Gen 5?

Yes.

Is this because you think it's unethical to do so, or because you can already prove it with a hack-check?

Because I understand it like this: For a cheat-pokemon, you can force some IVs onto that pokemon, which are impossible for the hatched date. But with two parents, even though they are cheated, the IVs will still be brought down "legally" for a given date.

will the (legitamately bred) child of hacked parents be considered a hack by the hack checks that nintendo does at vgc?

No; it's really a matter of integrity.

@Above: No, I myself hack, however it is still considered cheating to breed with hacked parents; nothing will say they are hacked (barring illegal egg move combos), but as I said above, it's really up to your own integrity/how much the person you are playing cares.

fair enough

What is the viability of a Specs Garchomp? (Could it have any use at all?)

 

[ToastTyrant13]

What is the viability of a Specs Garchomp? (Could it have any use at all?)

Not very good, although I've seen a Special Baton Pass Recipent Garchomp from Volbeat.

Garchomp @ Life Orb
Timid ~ 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
~Fire Blast
~Dragon Pulse
~Surf
~Earth Power / Hidden Power Electric / Hidden Power Fighting


Works well, but rather gimmiky since it has to get the two Tail Glows from Volbeat.

Ok thanks for the clarification!

When I use My gyarados I have problems being walled by Ferrothorn (duh.)
I know this a noobish question but what if i put minimum amount of SpA evs on him change his nature from adamant to hasty(?) and replace Bounce for Fire Blast for a clean 2hKO? Would this be viable?

does Mold Breaker negate pp loss from pressure? and which would be better to run, a Wobuffet or a Wynaut with eviliote?

 

[Thorhammer]

No, the PP loss is not counted for Mold Breaker.

Wobbuffet is by far the better choice. Wynaut's defenses are pathetic in comparison, and the Eviolite doesn't come close to closing the gap.

is spiritomb capable of running a set being a special wall to counter reunculis?

Now can someone point to me where the specific thread that discussed the of banning Blaziken is located at? Tried searching the fourm it mentions but couldn't find it.

how do you access egg moves in the real game?

 

[XienZo]

Breed a father that knows the move with the female of the species that can receive the egg move. The egg will then hatch with the mother's species with the egg move.

How sure are we of what gives Dream Points
From what I've found, it should be 10 points per harvested berry tree, 10 points per watering a friend's berry tree, 50 points for sending a Pokemon back to the Entree, and 10 (10k or under) to (15-29, based on score/1000) 30 (30k or more) correct?

i 've been using a set of growth(until coil), leaf blade(previously leaf tornado), return and leech seed in my black nuzlocke run(check my sig if you want) and i can say it has proved pretty decent...

but yeah i am considering giga drain as an option over leech seed later...

rock on. finally got a Jolly nature with good IV's, so I'll be rocking the physical bulk apparently.


- Leech Seed
- Coil
- Leaf Blade
- Dragon Tail/Giga Drain [for more annoyance]

seems a good way to go.

but whatever, I guess I'll see as I go. thanks for the help.

Does Marvel Scale activate through using Rest or does the status have to be inflicted by an opponent?

I ask because I wanted to mess around with a RestTalk Milotic with Dragontail.

Restalk works with Marvel Scale.
