The best IV calculator, at Pokemon Forever, is gone. Meowth346 (aka Chris Fritz) has closed down the site and put aside Pokemon. The one at Serebii does not get as accurate an answer -- you can't put in stats for more than one level. And the other one (aol/nintendopimp) requires MS Internet...

In Ruby/Sapphire, there's an easy way to figure out your Pokemon's HP type: battle a Keckleon. It will change to the Hidden Power's type when you hit it with HP. For HP's power, you'll have to calculate IVs though.

Eh, and here I thought I'd found something Smeargle might actually be best at. So CM >> Tail Glow?

Which would be the better SAtk booster? Smeargle @ Salac Berry ???? ~Spore ~Baton Pass ~Tail Glow ~Cosmic Power Volbeat@ Salac Berry +Speed,-Atk EVs evenly split HP/Def/Speed ~Light Screen ~Baton Pass ~Tail Glow ~Silver Wind Volbeat has better base stats, but Smeargle has Spore....

Lionheart claims great success with this team: mentioned in this thread https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/35272 Try reading this, too: https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/5715 It's the stickied intro to team building.

Would someone sticky this? It's one of the more interesting threads here.

Take a look at this sticky: https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/5715 Your team really isn't made for battling: - it has 2-turn moves - some pokemon have 2 (4!!!) moves of the same type - 4 Fire Pokemon. You're going to be very weak to water, ground, and rock attacks. You want a balanced...

Anyone have good sets that don't require an Egg Move (Curse)? Is LH's - Endeavor/Rest/Roar set decent? And does it really make sense to Curse up just for EQ?

You don't want more than one move of the same type, for battling. So you'd replace Dive and Waterfall with better things: Earthquake, Ice Beam. Rest, HP Bug?!?, Curse. Your set looks more like a SwissArmyKnife set, for traveling, not a battle set (it's all utility moves, which are mostly -...

Wouldn't Psychic be better on Starmie than Recover? (I don't have the patience to breed for perfect IVs/HP[Grass] AND nature, not having Emerald). It gets STAB, after all. Any recommendations on a wall/walls to face Jirachi and the Regis, besides the Blissey/Skarmory? I'd like to avoid them if...

Thanks much! So, a fast-enough special sweeper with Ice Beam will take care of the Dragons and Sceptile. Would something like Modest Starmie (Psychic, Ice Beam, TBolt,Surf) be able to sweep the whole team (except Swampert and Jirachi/Regis)? OW! Lose to a Castform? Sounds good. I will try...

Here's a challenge: I play (R/S) with people who always use the same set of pokemon: Rayquaza Groudon/Kyogre Salamence Latios/Latias Blaziken/Sceptile/Swampert (depending on which starter they picked) Jirachi, one of the Regis, or some random pokemon This gets boring :sleeping: , and I'd...
