I just watched a video of a Venomoth surviving a Dragon Gem Draco Meteor from a Latias, only to Protect + Disable it. It then set up several Quiver Dances and swept through a team (although it was bug weak).

Any idea what sort of nature and spread would be be good for a Protect / Disable / Bug Buzz / Quiver Dance Venomoth?

I saw that video too. I was REALLY tempted to post it here.

Will Hex + Will o Wisp work well on Chandelure? It sounds like a good combination. If it is, then can anyone suggest a good moveset/nature/evs for it? Thanks in advance.

Is normal(Blaze) Blaziken banned as well!? That wouldn't make a single bit of sense.

Yes. To "avoid complex bans for a while", Haunter said.

Also, The-Fire, that Venomoth looked like either Modest and 252HP/252SpA, or 252HP/252Spe with Timid.

Cofagrigus does it better with:
~Calm Mind
~Hex
~Will-o-wsip
~Rest

With a Chesto Berry, I talk with experience

On your trainer card, you can scroll it, iirc.

Ok, I feel like a noob asking this question, but...

What happens if a ghost-type uses Curse against a MM Espeon?

A) Ghost type loses 50% HP AND gets cursed
B) Espeon loses 50% HP and curses the ghost
C) Espeon loses speed and gains atk/def

please help.

I hate self-quoting, but I seriously need help on this. :/

Woah.

I guess the logical option is Ghost looses half HP and is cursed.
However I have not encountered this scenario so therefore cannot be quoted.
It just seems like the logical option.

I think that too, since for Ghosts I believe it's a fixed-damage Special attack..

Oh I thought you meant that Espeon gets the curse.. Well, I think it would do its normal effect since it's an attack for Ghosts

How do I change them into a name or sth. like that?

Could a Toxic orb tick reuniclus be a nice set to defeat blissey or other walls?

Also, i don't like winter. Now i'm gonna have a tough time EV training pokemon in HP

It's viable. Providing they aren't running aromatherapy/heal bell (depending on the wall)

(which I've noticed a lot of people are now)

Why not just use the move Toxic coming from a different Pokemon? Reuniclus can already Psyshock it and do a ton of damage.

Also, you can just change your DS clock.

I'm almost positive the ghost would lose 50%, and Espeon would lose 25% each turn until switching out. I don't think Magic Bounce/Mirror would affect that at all.

you mean chancing the month so that the season would change too? I set my clock to may, but my game is still in winter

Try going in and out buildings. It should work, it happened to me already. (sorry if i just came out of nowhere)

Well, seasons change once per month, like December 2010 is Winter, etc.

I'm not sure about the exact order of the seasons, though.

Twannes · Apr 2, 2011

The excact order is:
Spring is: January, May, September
Summer: February, June, October
Fall/Autumm: March, July, November
Winter: April, August, December

Can't you still surf and encounter Stunfisks 100% of the time in the dark, unfrozen spots of the Icirrus city ponds?

I think so normally, but I found a few Seismitoads due to whirlpools.

Twannes · Apr 2, 2011

Yes you're right. you'll alwys encounter stunfisk in the water with surf

Fishing is also an option (barboach gives +1 in Hp and Stunfisk gives +2)

IronGross · Apr 2, 2011

So if I run lead Mamoswine, SE is recommended?
