Simple Q&A Thread

[El Gofre]

FEAR doesn't suck, it's just really unfair. But like pkmn breeder jack said, weather conditions also have to be put into consideration. But in BP, what's gonna stop Smeargle from fainting? Unless it has FS, the first attack will knock it out. Also, once again, if the opponent has lum berry, spores attack was wasted and it will be taken out.

No fear does suck. It dies to entry hazards, weather, status, the list goes on. It's a one-use only poke, and you can take one poke out with it at best, and if any of the above are in effect then it doesnt take out anything and you're a poke down. A better strategy is to give a poke choice band and explosion, it comes to the same result.

That doesn't stop Spore from having 100% accuracy. Just because Lum Berry cures the status doesn't mean the Spore missed.

i know lol.... thats what i meant.

perhaps i should have made it more clear, point is that spore didnt do anything

And I have to agree with FourFourTwo on the BP set- that's really what Smeargle does best. FEAR sets just generally suck.

*Sigh* It's true, FEAR sets do suck, but Spore doesn't have 100% accuracy, it still misses with items like Brightpowder etc. Aerial Ace and moves like that are 100% accuracy though.

I'd go with Gofre's advice and avoid using Smeargle in OU, maybe in UU it'll stand a chance.

Spore doesn't have 100% accuracy? Then it looks like Serebii, Smogon, and Bulbapedia are all wrong. Imagine that.

NOTE: The base accuracy is determined by how often the move will connect WITHOUT ANY EXTERNAL MODIFIERS. Brightpowder may give Spore an 80% chance to hit, but it's still a 100% accuracy move. And for the record, moves like Aerial Ace don't have an accuracy rating. They hit no matter what, despite external modifiers.

And for the record, you can't use Smeargle in UU. He's too BL for that.

are the event celebi's from 10 aniv natures predetermened? like i know some events are only 3 natures, like the darkrai movie.. can the celebi be anything??

No, they aren't. I actually went to JAA and asked other people what nature their Celebi was, and I saw every nature at least once there.

I got Calm >.>;

Actually, due to a bug, it isn't. It's 99.7%, or something like that. The chances of missing is astronomically low, but still possible.

 

[tylerowicz]

ok one question
is the space c or huguito deoxy's IVs random?
i know the huguito one can only be a few natures
but are the ivs random like soft reseting?

Base accuracy, so my point still stands. >:(

But I haven't heard about that before (other than the fact that it was in RBY- I figured it was fixed since then). What's the source?

Well, it would be base acc.

I really can't remember. Either Wikipedia or Bulbaperdia, while looking for pics of Energy Ball (which I never found).

Then again, they aren't real poke sites. And wikipedia is known for getting things wrong.

Still, even if I am right, the chances of missing are so laughably small, it's not even worth mentioning. Just thought it was a fun fact. Fun fact....

hey guys
im wondering
im looking for a pokemon that can baton pass swords dance AND calm mind
i know there are a few

Well the pokemon that best fits that description would be Celebi..

 

[Azonic]

Celebi can learn Baton Pass, Swords Dance, and Calm Mind. It still has good Defenses and HP, although Celebi is normally used for other purposes.

Edit: The Fatal Error gave me a late post. XD;

 

[tylerowicz]

yea but.. can he take a hit.. and when i use baton pass, swords dance, and calm mind, i have room for one more move
what should it be?
i give him leftovers to recover
and then psychic or grass knot?
cuz he needs nad offensive move
i know recover of heal bell isnt there
but is that fine?
and i want speed deoxys in my team
is 2 legends allowed?

 

[Azonic]

I'm not entirely sure, but I guess Celebi needs an attacking move, so I'd go with Grass Knot. Legendary status shows nothing in competetive - it is totally dependent upon what tier they are in. So yes, it is allowed in standard play.

 

[tylerowicz]

alright
i just dont want celebi to be pwn in one shot and have like no hp left and i dont have recover
would that happen
i mean my first move would be upping sp.def and sp.atk and he has intense speed

Yes, any amount of legendaries is allowed unless your battling a noob.

Celebi has awesome defenses, 100/100/100 all across the board.

Recover/Swords Dance/Calm mind/Baton Pass, you may drop Recover for an offensive move if you wish.

252 HP / 80 Atk OR Sp.att / 176 Speed + speed nature should do it, it puts you above all base neutral 100's and garchomp i believe.

tylerowicz, also, could you please shape up your grammar a bit, its kinda hard to distinguish what your saying. thanks

 

[tylerowicz]

Gengar gives 3 SpAtt EVs.

Salemence@Choice Specs
Modest
252SpAtt/252Spd/6HP
Draco Meteor
Fire Blast
Hydro Pump
Dragon Pulse
Easily the most used, arguably the best.

He's not being a dick. He's asking you to improve your lexis for improved communication. The corret use of grammar is very important. And don't blame your keyboard, this post is full of commonly used abbreviations like "sry" and "ya" but no out of place missing letters. I suppose your shift button also does not work, that's why you don;t use capital letters?
