The Politoed might be carrying an Iron Ball if you haven't seen Politoed's item activate.I'm in Trick Room. How does Politoed outspeed a 20 Speed IV, 0 Ev's Marowak?

Ah, I might've overlooked that. Do Politoed usually carry Fling?The Politoed might be carrying an Iron Ball if you haven't seen Politoed's item activate.
They don't, but some people run Iron Ball on their weather starters to help win the lead matchup against other weathers (since the slowest one activates their ability last).
lol not at all.. that's certainly not the mechanic. Weather activation is controlled by speed, so weather users tend to use a lower speed IV.I did'nt know this. I thought it was based on who punched their team in last during the team preview.
Sun has a number of issues to surmount and outspeed enemy weather inducers is one of them. A good sun team can be made, but oftentimes Ninetales will have to be played differently from a Politoed. Sometimes, it will sit in the back waiting for your opponent to switch in their weather inducer. Other teams might give Ninetales an Iron Ball to nearly guarantee their sun turn one.I know that Ninetales is the only not Uber Drought, (besides Vulpix) but would'nt Politoed, T-Tar, and Hippodown have the advantage since they have significantly lower speeds. So in that case is Sun bad to use?
It might, but with negative priority from phaze moves and the turn spent setting up hazards, you end up in a pretty bad position to take hits in exchange for negligible damage.Although its very risky is using entry hazards and phasers in doubles viable. Being able to set them up and successfully phazing is hard enough but if you were able to pull it off, would it do any good?
October Regionals won't allow Tornadus-T or anything from Pokemon BW2.Is tornadus-T allowed in the october regionals? or is it just like vgc 2012 where you can't use it?
idk what pokemon.com you're looking at. http://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/championship-series/vg-autumn-regional-championships/No, they have not posted the rules as of now.
Additionally, the regionals are still using BW1 carts, so it would be impossible to use Tornadus-T even if it weren't banned.Is tornadus-T allowed in the october regionals? or is it just like vgc 2012 where you can't use it?
We don't know what the rules will be, but they will almost certainly at least include the BW2 changes since the games will have been out for more than a week by then.Are the January/April Regionals for sure gonna be different rules than October?
All those modifiers are multiplicative, so you just multiply Discharge's power by each modificationI have a question about damage modification. If I have a Discharge Zapdos, with Electric Gem, Helping Hand boosted, in a double battle, what will the output be?
