If a Quagsire with unaware has -1 def for example does it ignore that drop?

If a quagsire had a minus defense drop and was hit with a physical attack it would take more damage regardless of unaware. Unaware only ignores the opponent's stat changes. Which is why Curse is actually usable on Quaqsire because it doesn't ignore its own stat changes.

Where does everyone get the tiny sprites for the Pokemon like all the mons for every type in some people's sigs?

 

[DarkNostalgia]

go on pldh.net/dex/sprites/pokemon name
at the bottom you can find pokemon sprites, and ofc replace pokemon name with whatever pokemon you wanna find, e.g if i want to find manaphy sprite i put in pldh.net/dex/sprites/manaphy

Serebii, http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131021090501/pokemon/images/8/8e/303M.png just switch the 303m for the dex number of your mon and add an m if it is mega and an S if is an altered form.
Also you can left click on one of those tiny sprites and select copy URL of the picture and then put it in your browser

you got ninja'd lol. also sometimes those sprites don't work and show up as big black boxes for some reason.

Rofl. It has never happened to me but i have seen you link and seems easier and with more variety so i will use it in the future thanks for it n_n

You can also go to a viability thread, where they have all the little sprites, you can just click and drag them into the reply box.

 

[MANNAT]

Thanks guys! I'll try both options!

Not necessarily competitive related, but anyway; how do I get my Pokémon from my Diamond cart onto my OR cart? I've been out of the loop for quite some time.

You need to take them to BW or BW2 and from them to OR via pokebank a 3ds program, but it cost money 5€/year i think

I don't mind paying $5 to transfer the lot - I played competitive avidly in gen four and have boxes and boxes of stuff that'd still be usable. Thanks for the info, I'll look into it.

Hawlucha has drain punch now so is it usable over high jump kick?

hawlucha is pretty frail so it appreciates the power > hp

 

[firehusky]

Hawlucha is kind of weak for a set up sweeper, so it needs all the power that it can get. Besides, nothing can really outspeed Hawlucha at +2, and it's not going to live powerful priority anyways, so it needs to do as much damage before going down, which is why HJK is preferred.

 

[hey yal]

if you have prankster tr what is it's priority?

 

[firehusky]

It adds 1 to the priority level, so it would -6.

Why does suicide lead Azelf use Fire Blast?

 

[boltsandbombers]

Why does suicide lead Azelf use Fire Blast?

Hits steel types like ferrothorn, scizor, and bisharp.

 

[Celticpride]

Why does suicide lead Azelf use Fire Blast?

I think to catch Steels that expect an Explosion (Ferro, Skarm) off-guard.

 

[firehusky]

Azelf doesn't really have any other useful move to use on a suicide lead set with Stealth Rock, Explosion and Taunt, so Fire Blast is chosen for coverage against steel-types such as scizor, mega metagross and ferrothorn.

 

[tigers jaw]

It has more options than just Fire Blast tbh. Skill Swap is great and probably better than Fire Blast unless you want a Mon that is worthless vs. Mega Eye and Mega Diancie. Screens are viable for balls-deep hyper offence (see: Drum Azu+ZardX+SD Bisharp etc.), too.
