Wait, Wi-Fi just sets it to lvl 100? I did not know that.

Its EV spread is factored in, right? I just need to make sure of that before I embark on EV Training another poke for Competitive Battling for being completely certain...

Yes, it fully factors in EVs from what I have heard from the raters here. As in I'm 99.99% sure but somebody could verify that.

Yes, it takes into account the EVs given and adjusts stats accordingly.

Thank you. Now to EV Train a Lucario... Only a coincidence that that's the topic of the Pokemon Discussion Thread.

How is subseeding sopposed to work?

 

[Anti]

You hide behind a sub and zap stuff with Leech Seed while regaining most of your own health. They usually have HP Fire/Ice to beat grassers the evade Leech Seed and then a STAB move.

Sceptile is probably the best.

 

[Kittyipawd]

Cant they just like swicth out to ruin the leech seed or is that thepoint where you hit with HP or STAB move

Hi all, whats the new standard blissey?

 

[Xairmo]

I know taunt makes it so the opponent can only use attack moves but does it also keep the opposing poke from switching out?

 

[jc_rcw]

No, when you switch out the status wears off.

"New" standard blissey is the same basically.
ice beam/seismic toss/softboiled/thunder wave @leftover
With lots of def evs, some hp and sp.atk.

And with subseeding, when they switch out you leech seed the pokemon that comes in and it starts all over again, unless it's a grass which you hit and will probably run from.

 

[Xairmo]

No i meant when you use taunt and stay in can the other poke switch out?

 

[jc_rcw]

I should have made that clearer, yes the other pokemon can switch out, and the status wears off.

Oh okay, well thank you for clearing that up for me ^^

What's a decent Roserade moveset? Currently I have this in mind.

Roserade
Rash (+ Sp. Atk - Sp. Def)
EVs: 4 HP 252 SP. ATK 252 Speed
Leaf Storm/Magical Leaf (STAB bonus FTW)
HP Fire (Takes down those pesky Steels)
Toxic Spikes/??? (Well, it's a Toxic version of Stealth Rock basically... And I don't have to waste a TM, meh)
???

I know I should of had the Roserade (currently a Roselia atm) with a Timid nature, but I gone through several eggs just to get a decent nature and IVs good enough to get HP Fire.

Okay I have to ask this because it's driving me NUTS. Why do people hate on Registeel so much? Seriously, it has A TON of resistances and can take physical and special hits.

I mean I know it can't attack that well but neither can skarmory or Steelix and both of them are pretty good. Only Registeel can take a special hit.

I mean it's resistant to SR and can't be zapped with Toxic, why do people hate it so much? I know its weaknesses suck, but throw in Celebi and Milotic and you've got a pretty solid walling core.

I mean it's a great Porygon-Z counter and takes predicted Explosions. He also owns specsmence's STAB move which is cool. It laughs at Outraging Scarfchomp and you can Explode on it or hit it with Ice Punch.

Even if you make a bad prediction and let Registeel get nailed by a supereffective hit, it's survive and you can switch in a pokemon that resists the attack and gg.

Is it just me or is Registeel underrated seriously? It's a more sturdy SRer than even Bronzong and Swampert and can provide Para or toxic support to a team. And it can BOOM.

So tell me, why do people hate on Registeel?

 

[airconditioning]

Because it's a Nazi. Just look at its sprite.

I know, think of its ADV sprite and NOW how awesome is Registeel?

 

[Xairmo]

Yeah Registeel is doing the Hitler salute ._.

 

[Anti]

Okay we get it...Registeel's sprite is messed up.

Now why do people hate on poor Registeel?

 

[Xairmo]

Because registeel is kinda cheap, it can get up to 438 in Def and Sp.Def ._.
