If I'm RNGing for a pure special sweeper, is there any point in trying to get its Attack IV as low as possible to avoid self-damage in confusion (induced by Machamp's DynamicPunch, Tornadus's Hurricane, etc.)?

If you want to be perfect, sure. But it's not really worth it imo.
 
This probably should have been asked in WiFi...but...

As far as Smogon rules are concerned, yes, so don't trade them.

A hack can only breed a hack.

Would it come up as hacked on any sort of test? (Like VGC testing)
And where can I find these rules?
 
Should I replace explosion with bullet punch on my metagross that I used for the HG/SS battle tower and am now using for the battle subway now that explosion lost it's power?
 
What exactly happened to SOMALIA?

he did everything to get banned from both the forums and PO battle server. Apparently he needed more time for irl stuff. We all miss him :(
 
In ou its not that great. 60 spd and 85 sp atk aren't good at. You could try it with rain support but it's not that good. But in VGC 11 it's a god apparently

I think Water Gem Water Spout Wailord in Tailwind would work well, if you're using Doubles.

For Singles, Choice Scarf Modest Wailord would be my choice.
 
What happens when you use Frost Breath/Storm Throw on a Pokemon with Shell Armor/Battle Armor? I imagine the ability trumps the move, but does that mean Frost Breath/Storm becomes a normal base 40 move or does the attack just fail?

EDIT: Nevermind. Just tested it. FB/ST just become a standard base 40 move.
 
Which Terrakion set generally functions the best?
I've been trying out the Double Booster set for awhile and it occasionally just shocks me with its phenomal power, but most of the time it just lets me down (most likely because of its priority weakness)
What set works best in todays meta for Terrakion?

Can someone please help me? I am trying to set-up something using Python to use my computer as a GTS. If anyone knows anything about this, help would be greatly appreciated.
^I am trying to set something up so that I can create a Pokemon and send it to myself through a fake GTS (Like PokeGen). Any help would be nice.
(I'm horrible with computers)
 
So...what current software do most smogers use now to battle competitively online? Please post links, and state whether it supports Gen 5, because i think Shoddy's outdated?
 
Repost:

Does Victory Star work in single or rotation battles?

It affects only the Victini (or other Pokémon you skill swapped it onto), not any of its allies like it does in a double battle. But it does boost the Victini's accuracy itself.

Pokémon Online (http://pokemon-online.eu/). It originally caught on due to supporting doubles, and became popular due to being IIRC the first simulator to support 5th gen; nowadays, it's used for most Smogon tournaments (and Smogon has its own Pokémon Online server, used for suspect tests and for battling generally).
