Not really, when it learns Focus Blast.Is it viable for xerneas to have hidden power fighting?
Ferrothorn / Forretress / Mega Lucario do pretty well, but Mega-Luc will be banned as will the other check I'd suggest, Genesect. Just for reference:What are some good checks for DD Mega Gyarados? It seems every team I make it's been a pain in the ass to deal with. It does suffer from massive 4mss, but once I figure out what it does and doesn't have it's usually too late.
The moves are very predictable, waterfall/EQ(mold breaker)/Ice fang is the standard set. Bite is unlikely to deal major damage, and bounce, well, you can see it.What are some good checks for DD Mega Gyarados? It seems every team I make it's been a pain in the ass to deal with.

Supposedly MMing + shiny charm gives ~1/400 chance of getting a shiny.Ahh that sucks, thanks for the reply though. Looks like I'll be RNGing up to 4th gen Pokemon only and maybe taking a look at how to RNG in BW. Do you know if there is ongoing research (on smogon) into the RNG method for gen 6?
Bullet Seed only activates Sap Sipper once.if bullet seed hit sap sipper, would the move continue hitting after the 1st boost or would it stop immediately?
Also, if a pokemon regain full HP, will its focus sash become intact again?
Since you're posting on the OU version of this thread, it needs saying: Blaziken is banned in all incarnations in OU.I'm gonna make a special attack sweeper blaziken for the surprise factor and I'm thinking
Ability: speed boost
*wide lens
-substitute
-fire blast
-focus blast
-sunny day
The substitute in order to be able to set up sunny day for the 50% power increase towards fire blast.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
That sounds terrible. There doesn't need to be any surprise factor when physical blaziken just about sweeps everything, really.I'm gonna make a special attack sweeper blaziken for the surprise factor and I'm thinking

That's against smogon's rules so I would assume no.Can you use two different accounts to get voting reqs?
http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/is-weather-still-viable.3490611/I would like to discuss Rain (dance) teams and their "viability" in XY. Where could an OP for this be placed?
YesIf I use Focus Punch and the opp switches out his pokemon on the same turn, will Focus Punch hit the switch-in?
Get 'em to fail. A Triple Battle in one of the Restaurants with a Smeargle, an Explosion/Selfdestruct user, and a Damp pokemon will do it.This is just a question of curiosity, but how does one Sketch Explosion/Self-Destruct?
Dunno about the avatar.I have a Destiny Knot breeding question, in terms of how exactly it functions.
I have a Tentacruel with 4 perfect IVs, in Spe, SDef, Def, and HP. If I have this (male) Tentacruel hold the Destiny Knot, and a second (female) Tenatcool with a perfect SAtk holding the Power Lens, will this result in a Tenatcool with 5 perfect IVs (everything but Atk)? Could I replace the female Tentacool with a Ditto with perfect SAtk and get the same results? If the answer is no, could you explain what it is about the Destiny Knot mechanic I am not understanding? I ask rather than test because said Tentacruel is still trapped in my Gen 5 games, and I haven't been trading or farming for perfect IVs in XY of yet.
As a side note, I only sign into Smogon once every few months... Why is my avatar an animated Haxorous? I'm pretty sure I never put that there. Did I get randomly assigned that?

yes, smogon's default avatars are randomly-assigned animated pokemon sprites. mine was glaceon.As a side note, I only sign into Smogon once every few months... Why is my avatar an animated Haxorous? I'm pretty sure I never put that there. Did I get randomly assigned that?
Stealth Rock is the most common, I believe. But since you're breeding that, you can't have it, unless you transfer it from 4th gen. It's also a 5th gen tutor move.So I want to breed a garchomp.
What's is the best set for a Garchomp for this current mata?
