Looking through The Smog ssubforum I found a good idea, as well as a link to a somewhat difficult riddle. So I decided to make one. Here you are:

I will post below 2 battle scenarios where X is the same value and Y is the same value. All natures are neutral, no EV’s and no items are held. All IV’s are 31, hidden power is not a correct answer. Both scenarios are at the first turn of battle.

Battle 1

Dogfish44 sent out x
Enemy sent out Chansey
X used Y
Chansey lost 62% of its health
Chansey fell asleep
Chansey is fast asleep

X used Y
Chansey used 48% of its health
Chansey fainted

Battle 2

Dogfish44 sent out X
Enemy 2 sent out Banette
It is hailing.
X used Y
Banette lost 41%
Banette was frozen solid
Banette is frozen solid
X was pelted by hail!
X lost 6% of its health
Banette was pelted by hail
Banette lost 6% of its health

X used Y
A critical hit!
Banette lost 53% of its health
Banette fainted

So… Who/what is X and who/what is Y?

Good luck!
 
Kangaskhan used Secret Power!

Scrappy in needed for Secret Power to hit Banette, and Miltank isn't strong enough.
 
No. X in battle 1 is the same as X in battle 2. Same for Y.

Edit: I hate fast, smart typers.

Another quickie whilst I think:

X uses Thunder Wave
Dugtrio was paralysed.

Let me type.
X is fully evolved.
 
I would have thought in battle 2 X would be Abomasnow and Y Blizzard.

Battle 1, I don't know any move that does damage AND sends the opponent to sleep. I'm not sure if such a move even exists.
 
damn i knew it was secret power but i didnt realize the pokemon fast enough :(


edit: secret power in grass makes you fall asleep

Except that the X and Y in battle 1 are the same as the X and Y in battle 2. Battle 1 takes place in grass, Battle 2 takes place in hail. The move is secretpower. Now the Pokemon has to be able to hit ghost types with a normal move so it must be a Pokemon with scrappy.

Rampardos?

How on earth could it be Rampardos? Last time I checked Rampardos did not have a magical ability that ignored type immunities.
At least make an educated guess rather than pulling a random Pokemon name out of your ass.

I thought Mold Breaker might have factored into it, but then I checked and Rampardos doesn't even get Thunder Wave.

Then maybe you need to read what mold breaker actually does. Rampardos will not hit a Dark type with Zen Headbutt, nor will it hit a Ground type with an Electric move.

It will however allow Rampardos to hit Gengar with Earthquake as it nullifies ABILITIES.

Chill out, he made an honest mistake.

Anyway I wish I had seen this earlier.
 
At least I wasn't dumb enough to think it was Ditto!

Gyarados used Waterfall.
X restored 25% of its health.
X used Y
It's not very effective ...
Gyarados lost 23% of its health
Gyarados was confused

Nice easy one in comparison.

EDIT: Since there have been three suggested answers, I'll say now that X is Adamant.
 
Single battle riddle from the start

Dogfish44 switched in A
Enemy 3 switched in Steelix
A used B
It’s not very effective
Steelix lost 2% of health
Steelix used Explosion
A lost 100% of its health
??
Steelix Fainted

Enemy sent out Smeargle
A used B
Smeargle took 25% damage
...

And smeargle was a guaranteed 3hko excluding crits

Anything could have happened at the ??

Good luck! :)

I guess B is pursuit?
 
Yeah yeah. Could you edit that one out whilst I punch something >.<

Thanks. Pursuit is incorrect though...
