Hahaha, not worth testing anyway. But the formula I posted would work, would it not? I understand it's not the most researched topic, due to Evasion Clause out there 90% of the time, but is "as far as I can tell" good enough? I'm wondering because I'm working on a guide (In-Battle
Stats), and I have all the boosts and drops and all, just not 100% sure of the exact Accuracy/Evasion formula; how it all comes together really.
It's a mistake in the in game description. It rises accuracy not CH rate.
Yeah, it's been tested before. Such a shame. It works insanely well with Endure+Salac though, after a few stat-ups (stockpile anyone?), to almost guarantee a first-move BP to something more naturally bulky, and a +1 speed to boot. But this isn't the place to talk strategy I guess >_>
Has anyone actually tested the unburden speed boost? I had heard it was actually unconfirmed, and never saw it tested after that (though I keep my eyes on this topic like a hawk).
Item and ability accuracy are multiplied at the end. So against a Snow Cloak Pokemon under Hail conditions, you multiply by 0.8 at the end, say, with Compoundeyes, you multiply by 1.3 at the end, etc.
Will a Ditto vs. Ditto NOT end up in a struggle battle? (i.e. Ditto 1 uses transform making PP 5, same for Ditto 2. transform again and still 5?) If I'm thinking correctly, if Ditto was both your last pokemon then it would be a never ending match. Sorry if this is in the wrong area but I didn't see it under moves or things that needed testing.
Unburden's speed boost is locked to Drifblim only. Even if you used up your item and got the boost if you used Recycle to recover the item Drifblim would lose its Unburden boost till you lose it again.
I meant the actual amount the speed is boosted, I was aware of those facts. I had heard someone say it was 2x, but someone else said it was untested. I have not seen it tested since then.
I thought it was impossible to Transform into a Pokemon that is itself Transformed.
In Emerald you cannot transform into a Transformed Pokemon. Just by coincidence I tested that last night while messing around with Ditto. A wild Ditto transformed into my Ditto then my Ditto's Transform kept failing. The wild Ditto could still use Transform. The wild Ditto didn't run out of PP and the battle lasted longer than 5 turns so it was constantly getting it's PP reset to 5 after each Transform. I don't have access to me DS at the moment so can't confirm this for DP.
I have a question. If you have a Ditto use Transform on a Smeargle and you get Sketch out of the transform, does it only have 1 PP, or does it have the normal 5 PP from every other Transformed move?
Furthermore, can you use the Sketch from the Smeargle to permanently Sketch a move from something if the one using Sketch is a transformed Ditto?

This worked in GSC and early Japanese versions of DP. This was fixed in later Japanese versions and all English versions so that Sketch always fails if used while under the effects of Transform.
Well, actually, if Transform can be Sketched, can you Transform a Smeargle into another Smeargle with Sketch and use Sketch (so in other words, is it the fact that the Pokemon isn't Smeargle that makes Sketch fail, or the fact that it is under the effects of Transform?)?

Moving over some old, apparently unanswered questions again. After I finish with this post, I'm going to update the first post.
How do Triple Kick and Metronome interact?
Does Life Orb trigger recoil from Endeavor?
Veekun database effect description for Metronome:
Randomly selects and uses any move in the game. Counter, Covet, Destiny Bond, Detect, Endure, Focus Punch, Follow Me, Helping Hand, Metronome, Mimic, Mirror Coat, Protect, Sketch, Sleep Talk, Snatch, Struggle, Thief, and Trick are exempt.
Should we get some other sort of verification, or just accept this?

It's doubtful that that's complete. None of those are 4th gen moves. Covet and Trick are on the list but Switcharoo isn't.

I have a question:
When was breeding adamant ralts for gallade i could never get the likes to thrash about characterisitc (31atk) even though the parents each had triple flawless(but none in atk).I first thugh meh it just me being unlucky. Until i got a ralts with a likes to thrash about characteristic (took me 8 boxes).I replaced the father with that and the rate of likes to thrash about characteristics sky rocketed in my egg hatchings...
So what im trying to say does having a parent with a favorable characteristic make it easier to pass down that favorable characteristic? I thought ivs were given randomy from both parent but things might have changed.

Togekiss: Body Slam?
How do you learn body slam with togekiss?
I read an analysis on this site and it said that togekiss can learn bodyslam, but i have been unable to find anyway in game to learn it.

Emerald/FR/LG. Body Slam is incompatible with Nasty Plot
Okay, so the formula would work more like so :
Normal Move Accuracy x Gravity Boost x User's Accuracy Mod x Foe's Evasion Mod x Accuracy Ability Mod x Evasion Ability Mod x Accuracy Item Mod x Evasion Item Mod
Now, I assume Gravity stays where it is, as you didn't mention anything wrong with that. And by "at the end" I assume it still stays in order, does it not (Accuracy, then Evasion)?
