That is not disputable but since it is a question about breeding we assumed that the questioner needed all options covered. Because it is possible to remember any move from the initial movelist indefinitely you might as well fill the space. We agree, Fire Punch and especially Low Kick are...

There are a couple of moves you need to keep in mind: Head Smash - strongest Rock move in the game, best combined with Rock Head Stealth Rocks - although it is much more useful in Singles, having it allows you to switch the set ad hoc (can do this indefinitely) Superpower - the alternative...

Luckily (?) such thing as the ultimate Pokemon does not exist, even in ubers (although Ghost-ceus comes pretty clsoe to unbeatable in 1v1). The outlines for this kind of discussion is probably a bit too loose to make points in. What is considered good? Is having the least amount of checks good...

One thing to note is that when Infernape is using Grass Knot, it actually does not need a specific EV spread as long as you have at least 30 SAtk IVs. 0- SpA Life Orb Infernape Grass Knot (80 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Quagsire: 395-468 (100.2 - 118.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO We personally don't...

If you say so, but for us emulating realism is not necessarily a sign of quality gameplay - especially when real life fishing does not work that way anyway. It is not challenging in any form, just a matter of inconvenience. We might change our opinion when the power of the traction becomes an...

A bit nitpicking: Did you know that Overcoat got buffed this generation? It now makes Escavalier immune to all spore-based moves and weather effects - which means that it becomes immune to Spore (and Rage Powder in Doubles) as well as Hail. A Must-Have for any Escavalier. Considering that you...

When you need someone to do the work for you then you are probably better off in the Trade Corner. Here we usually discuss how to build a good Pokemon, so if you have a particular question, just ask. IVs are values assigned to each Pokemon's stats from birth. They are random and range from 0 to...

Adamant normal Blaziken is kind of sub optimal because it won't make the jump over Scarf-Latios at +2. However, Mega Blaziken is actually fast enough to pull it off and isn't much less powerful than Jolly LO Blaziken. We are not sure whether you guys have realized but along side with Baton Pass...

Is it somehow possible to receive notifications for new posts in threads we are subscribed to?

Sorry, but we can't quite let you get away with the Charizard X analogy. It is primarily a DD sweeper and thus is a better Salamence, not a better Victini/Dephlox. And considering that it is the only Pokemon with two Mega Evolutions that is legal in every standard tier it is anything but...

There are multiple ways. The easiest way is to do a double battle with only two Pokemon, causing Baton Pass to fail. Another one is sketching it off a Ditto that it transformed into one of your Pokemon. There is also a way with Taunting in a Triple Battle but this is a bit more complicated than...

Nothing too fancy, just run Stone Edge instead of Rock Slide for a fast OHKO on Thundurus and Low Kick or Fire Blast in the place of Protect. Crunch can be used over Dark Pulse for more damage against Espeon and a clean OHKO against Latios.

For VGC? The normal mixed Tyranitar does not need any attack investment in order to OHKO 252/0 Talonflame in Doubles with Rock Slide. Without a Life Orb however you need at least 26 IV in Atk. Tyranitar @ Life Orb / Weakness Policy Ability: Sand Stream EVs: 4 SDef / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk Timid...

Writing an algorithm, we assume. I am currenty out of time but we will come back in seven hours. Maybe you will find it out in the meantime, otherwise we will do it. Got it - we did it with the algorithm. What is the result of (HP / 16) * 2 >= (HP / 8) when HP is an integer? HPoptimal = 16 * x...

167 HP; at 167 HP you take and recover from 167 / 8 = 20.875, 20 damage 167 / 16 = 10.4375, 10 damage The result is Skarmory @ Leftovers Ability: Sturdy Level: 50 EVs: 212 HP / 252 Def / 44 SDef Impish Nature Note: Maybe it is useful to decrease the speed IVs to 19 IV in order to underspeed...
