Spore, Spikes, Stealth Rock, Shell Smash (or anything else that you want) + Baton Pass, Memento, Lunar Dance, ability to use FEAR, etc.
Smeargle is good due to its movepool.
Also, for my question: Since Speed Boost itself isn't banned, does that mean that Speed Boost Combusken is allowed? :3
That's right, Combusken is allowed.
yeah, that does make a good supporting poke. what is FEAR?
disreguard that Q, i found out.

Yes, but it has rather terrible stats and no Hi Jump Kick. Don't get your hopes up too high.
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/FEAR
It does get Swords Dance, Flare Blitz and Sky Uppercut, though. It has the same Attack stat as Poliwrath, too, so it's not too terrible. Its Speed isn't a problem either, obviously.
I'm pretty sure there's a mechanic that the accuracy of OHKO moves can't be boosted, like by Hone Claws, Lock-on etc.
As for Combusken, I wouldn't use him as he's even frailer then Blaziken, not to mention susceptible to revenging (Aqua Jet). I also have a question: Why on this site, when you quote does it say "Fat *Person*"?
Not sure on its origin, but I know it's some kind of inside joke for either Smogon or vBulletin in general
does item urge overcome klutz?
You are right about Hone Claws, because accuracy modifiers don't actually increase the accuracy of Sheer Cold, Sheer Cold's accuracy is 30 + how many levels you are higher than your opponent, but you can use Mind Reader/Lock-On with Sheer Cold. Articuno makes the best use of that combination (aside from Smeargle) but it's still very flawed
it never says that it missed, it says "the move failed" every time. and it was lv 100...
i do not go to po without testing in game, where it 'failed' on clefable
and it was level 100
the clefable was lvl 60
the clefable was lvl 60
Lol, Fat Benny in a Jet ^_^
Quick question about Magic Bounce in Doubles or Triples: I read on the ability's page that with multi-target moves like Tail Whip, the move will affect the non-Magic Bounce Pokemon normally and then the Magic Bounce Pokemon will reflect it back. I'm confused as to how this works with entry hazards though. If the opposing team has a Magic Bounce Espeon and some other Pokemon, and my team uses Stealth Rock, are there rocks on both sides of the field?
No, if against a Magic Bounce Espeon (or Magic Bounce Espeon), the rocks will be reflected to your side of the field.
Another question: I understand that due to IV's, a pokemon will usually have stats higher then their base stats before EV'ing them. Is there a formula or trick to calculate how to find this out? It would help me a lot with damage calculations.
T_T,
T_T,
If you want to know a pokemon IVs, simply go to metalkids iv calculator and it will lead you through the steps to determine your pokemon's IVs
maybe magic guard protects you from OHKO moves. Imma look it up.
Edit: nope
I don't need to know my pokemon's IV's (I mainly use PO). I want to know IV's effect on the base stat before I apply EV's.
If you mean what the difference is between a pokemon with 0 IV's in a stat and a Pokemon with the maximum of 31 IV's in a stat, it is that for each IV the stat will be one point higher at level 100.
If you are looking for the formula to calculate stats, you can find it here: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Stats#In_Generations_III_and_IV.
