Meh, it's more of a fan favorite, as long as you have spinner support.
But there'sbeing creative, and being justplain noobish. |
Yeah. One thing is using your favourites to their best, another thing is Ice Fang Glaceon.
|
Fake Tears/Wish/Ice Beam/Hidden power Fighting Glaceon is a nightmare, and especially because the thing is so bulky >_<.
Anyways, i have heard about something called the "Pursuit Glitch", that being if you ko one of your opponents pokemon with Pursuit and you have a Choice Item attached, you are allowed to change moves after when the opponent sends in their next pokemon, is this true ? |
Help about a shiny Ponyta
Hello!
I recently caught a shiny Ponyta and lv. 17 and I don't know what to do with it; leave it lv. 17, train it, evolve it? If I have to train it, how will I EV train it ( i mean with what stats). Thank you. |
I would check the IVs first. If they are in the single digits, then I wouldn't bother with it. Or if you don't want to train it, you can always keep it as a trophy.
|
It would be a good idea if I trained it to lv. 100.
But what stats do i have to increase? |
Probably Attack and Speed. Rapidash's Attack and Speed are it's highest stats and it has a few good Physical Moves (Flare Blitz and Megahorn) but if you want to talk about what stats it should have, you should request to Mod to move this into S&M.
|
hey guys, not to make a big dela or anything but whats the difference between plates and items?
Sharp beak and Sky Plate? |
What's wrong with using that? Atleast, I'm just wondering?

Should I put Flamethrower or Lava Plume on my Heatran? I like Flamethrower for more power but Lava Plume has a 30% burn chance.
|
Mo Man, what set are you running? I'd use Fire Blast / Flamethrower on any set but the Restalk/Bulky one, which then I'd go with Lava Plume.
|
The set is:
[email protected] Orb (when I get another Life Orb) 40HP 252Sp.Att 216Spd Timid Earth Power Lava Plume/Flamethrower HP Ice Taunt |
Hm, Life Orb set... I'd probably go with Flamethrower, then. If you're going to get in for the sole purpose of hitting hard, then it's best to hit as hard as you can lol.
|
Okay, thanks. You don't happen to have a spare Life Orb do you? I've already got something holding the one that I have.
|
I've got a hacked Pearl save, and I'd be happy to trade you anything you need. :)
|
Can someone tell me why I've been seeing a rise in the use of porygon2 in DP games? Trace aside I don;t see any advantage.
|
Thanks, I just need a Life Orb. Do you want anything for it?

It is the trace ability... that is it ...

P-Z sucks, really. I find P2 superior even in sweeping with the Charge Beam set. |

EDIT: Actually, I could use a Combee for my Ranch. If you have one you can spare, that'd be great. |
Okay, I'll be on Wifi in a couple of minutes.

@Deviruchi, thanks, i thought that glitch was too good to be true XD. |
How do I send a message to them?
I want it to be moved to Strategies & Movesets . |
I just reported to have it moved.
But they're probably going to close this thread, and allow you to make another. |
Does the Synchronize trick work on roaming Pokemon? If it doesn't, Cressy will be a big pain to SR for...
|
airconditioning, Synchronize works with any wild Pokémon, including Cresselia.
|
So, the fact that only one of the eight Cresselias I've recieved so far has been Bold is simply my bad luck? That's comforting.
|
Yup, seems to be bad luck only. But I know greater pain- I spent weeks SRing for a Moltres on FireRed, where you can't have Synchronize support. ;_;
|
Quote:
Deoxys took less than a week, though. And I got a good Mew on my birthday. EDIT: Also, when is this poll at the top of the page going to go away? |
But Synchronize works on Emerald, dear. :3
The only other thing I've SR'd for besides Moltres was Heatran, and luckily that took like... a couple hours. And the poll will go away when I finally decide if I should teach Overheat to my Combusken. |
Personally, you should. Overheat was able to stop an Absol's Surf. Didn't you see May's battle?
Yeah, now I must know...how good is Arcanine? |
When I downloaded that Pokémon AG torrent, I skipped most Contest matches. ):
Anyway, I haven't ever used Arcanine, but a Mixed Set should work on theory! I'd go with something like; Arcanine @ Life Orb 228 Atk / 92 SpA / 188 Spe Naïve - Flare Blitz - Overheat - Hidden Power [Ground] / [Electric] - Extremespeed I guess it could work nicely lategame with SR support. I'd go with HP [Ground] because I hate Heatran more than Gyarados, but that's up to you. |
Quote:
|
Oh, that's right. I remember reading something about that. :B
Well, it's not like I own Emerald. I've just borrowed my friend's so I could use some Tutors. Anyway, I heard that there's a special Pokémon Ranch Flygon? Is this true? |
Quote:
http://serebii.net/ranch/trade.shtml These are all the Pokemon you can get from Hayley. |
I can't get the poll to go away. So we'll treat it like a painting or something that's really ugly but was really expensive, so we keep it around anyway to brag about how expensive it is.
|
Did you recieve the Tangela yet? How is it? Is it any good?
|
Ooh, I think I might have gotten a good Cressy.
Cresselia, Bold 22-23/x/26-27/28-29/28-29/x Not perfect, but looks pretty decent, especially since I only started SRing a few hours ago. Is it good enough for a RestTalk Cresselia? |
That looks very good.
MOAR HP. |
Yeah, true. I could open up Pokesav and bump that number up a bit, but I'm just not the type. :/
|
You're in quite a jam. soft reseting, as you know, ain't like breeding. If you give that up, you may not get another like that for a while.
|
I think I'll keep it. I mean, what are the odds that those ten points of HP are REEEAAALLLY going to matter? Surviving by only a few HP doesn't happen too often. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/Gamerman/Image%20Macros/yelwacko.gif
|
That's what JOO think. Personally, for walls, I shoot for at least 27 HP. For fickle sweepers with base 100 sumthin' speed, those 31 IVs are non negotiable.
Those few HPs can hurt at times. Not like defense, as moves can bypass HP, and result in toxic killing youa turn earlier than usual. Food for thought. Spoiler:
|
Dude, those IVs are good. You would have to be an absolute perfectionist to get rid of that. Even without completely flawless IVs, well Ev'd Pkmn can do awesome in the hands of a good battler.
|
Quote:
Ah well, I already hit the buttons, so it's back to SRing for me. :/ |
Way to have self esteem ac. I'm not even that great at battling and my slightly less than perfect Pkmn do fine.
|
That's not what I meant. You just sounded like one of Serebii's Ash-Ketchum-wannabe scrubs. SO LONG AS I EV TRAIN MY MODEST HERACROSS WITH 0 ATK IVS I CAN BE THE BEST BATTLER LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS
But hey, while we're on the subject, is CM Cresselia any good? Because I just got this Cresselia: Cresselia, Timid 28-29/31/30-31/0-1/24-25/30-31 I would keep this in a heartbeat if those Atk and SAtk IVs were switched. :/ EDIT: Whoops, flawless Defense. Didn't notice the 'Capable of Taking Hits'. :D |
I have this team in the makings:
Crobat, Cloyster, Poliwrath, Jumpluff, Camerupt, Vileplume Major weakness to Psychic, and Waters w/Ice moves (starmie) What pokemon should I replace, and what should I replace it with? I came up wich these, but I'm unsure: Parasect (UU) , Cacturne (UU), and Shiftry(UU) |
Oh wow. Now that's bad luck, wtf.
CB Cresselia go! |
Quote:
|
Again, not what I meant. Most of the kids at Serebii think that with EV training, anything is possible. What you said made you sound like that. When I realized that only someone who sounded like a Serebii kiddie thought my Cresselia was good, I simply hit reset.
Either way, back to resetting. |
Again, I know that there is a limit on how good a Pkmn can be based on its IVs. But mid to high 20s in all of the major stats is preety good in my opinion.
And for the record, I do use Serebii as a resource for seeing what a particular Pkmns stats are and for finding move parents. |
Not what I meant (again). I use Serebii's Pokedex as well. I'm referring to the POKEMAHN MASTAHS that populate the Serebii forums.
|
Well I don't know what they're like, but you do realize that we have the occasional -what you call them- POKEMAHN MASTAH around here too. I was just saying that there is some space between godly and crap as far as IVs are concerned.

Is this intended to be a UU team?

Yup. Just like Anti said, a single BL Pokémon makes a team OU.
BL isn't an actual tier- BL Pokémon are just Pokémon banned from UU. |
Unless you play on 4chan. For some reason, the majority of battlers there play BL/UU. :/
|
The people from /v/ usually just use their favourites. That's why it's fun to play with them.
Lately, I've only been doing roulette battles. They own. ♥ |
I got a breeding question...
So I got a female Buneary with 31 attack IV's. I'm gonna breed it with my Medicham (with all 3 elemental punches), who has 31 speed IV's. If they have a baby, and it inherits both maxed IV's, what characteristic will it show? |
I have no idea, and I doubt anyone else does, either. Keep an eye out for both characteristics ('Likes to Thrash About' and 'Alert to Sounds').
|
Oh...
What's PokeSaving btw? |
Pokesav is a program that allows you to edit every possible facet of a Pokemon save file- including the Pokemon itself. Pokesaving a Pokemon refers to creating/ hacking a Pokemon in Pokesav.
|
Ohh... How do people get it?

And with what EV's I have to train my shiny Ponyta? |
Quote:
|
What physical attacks will my shiny rapidash learn?
Is Megahorn, Flare Blitz, Hypnosis, Will-o-wisp ok? |
What's the Rapidash's nature? I wouldn't recommend planning a moveset before taking it in consideration.
|
Quiet nature.
What do you think about it? |
No, definately not Quiet. Jolly would be better suited.
[email protected] Lens/Life Orb Jolly 252 Atk, 192 Spd, 64 HP Flash Fire Flare Blitz Earthquake / Will-o-Wisp Megahorn / Will-o-Wisp Hypnosis / Will-o-Wisp ~T_S |
But my shiny Ponyta is Quiet Nature. It raises Sp. attack and lowers Speed. So i have to EV train the Sp. Attack and speed?

And, my original question: Witch pokemon should I replace and what should I replace it with, as I have a weakness to Psychic. (considering that this could be an OU team) |

What's wrong with Milotic?
Hey everyone
I was just wondering, what's wrong with Milotic. I go on Serebii a lot and it brings up the terms "Bulky Water Pokemon" a lot but when they do it's always Swampert, Suicune, and Slowbro. If they mention Milotic, it's always "and to a lesser extent, Milotic". And to top it off, Milotic dwells in the borderline tier. I need a special wall on my team, and I don't like Blissey or Snorlax because they're too easy to KO (come on, say what you want but physical fighting attacks like close combat are just too rampant) so I decided to go with milotic. The thing has 125 base Special attack managable 95 base hp, decent base 79 defense backed up by Marvle scale activated when Milotic is hit with a status attack. It also has only 2 weaknesses which only comes with one consistant counter (Electivire), a reliable recovery move (with 10 PP), access to hypnosis and a good movepool backed by a 100 base special attack. Frankly, I don't see why Milotic isn't OU and why it's regarded as worse than Swampert and Slowbro. |

Yes. Any [constructed] team can beat any other team, if it's in the hands of an experienced player. In the end, it all comes down to the players. However, I wouldn't count on it too much. If you want to play against OU teams, use an OU team. Now, both Cacturne and Shiftry are good sweepers- I prefer Cacturne to go physical, and Shiftry to go special. I have used both and can tell you they work great if played right. [But remember, if you're going to play UU, you're not really going to meet Starmie anytime soon.] |
Quote:
I think that I should probably go physical, but I like Shiftry as the Pokemon better. And which pokemon should I replace for Shifty/Cacturne? |
It's not that Milotic is bad at what it does it's just that other Pkmn do the job better.
|
And is quite hard to get.

It's actually ridiculously easy. |
I think that this post got lost and overlooked with the merged thread, but:
Would Cacturne/Shifrty work? They both are able to beat water types w/Ice moves (starmie), and Psychic types. If so, which one should I use, and who should I replace. And do you think that the team has the capability to take on an OU team? (this conversation was with Deviruchi) |
Quote:
|
I wouldn't suggest going with Milotic (or other Waters) as a Special Wall; as Thunderbolt is one of the most common special moves out there and nearly every competitive team has a Pokemon with it. That's actually quite unfortunate, as there are many Water-rypes with fantastic SDef.
|
Quote:
Wacan + Mirror Coat Mantine is pure love. ♥ |
The only thing better is surviving a Calm Mind Blissey's T-Bolt (at a crit) and Mirror Coating it to death.
Hax be praised. I got this Riolu Adamant Steadfast ATK: 25 Speed: 27 Sp.Def:30 (WTF) Wonderful, right? |
Quote:
Aim for 30-31 in Attack and Speed. A 31 IV in speed keeps you above Timid Heatran... |
Well of course I'd aim for that, it's whether I get it or not. I can't be too picky now, I only have a small amount of time to battle.
Regardless, I'll rebreed, but if I don't get anything better soon, I'll use that. Attack doesn't have to be max, at most, it only results in a 3-4 point different in damage. As for speed, that is also pretty iffy. It does have a priority move to make up for it, and I already have three Heatran counters. Two if it has HP Electric for whatever reason. |
Yeah, but what if you face another Lucario?
I'm with Archer- I believe max speed and attack are a must. |
Then Tangrowth can handle it.
As long as it doesn't have Blaze Kick :P I'll rebreed, but I feel absolute max attack isn't a necessity. I'll try for speed, but as I said, I can't afford to waste my entire wifi summer on it--I only have 3 weeks of battling. My summers are short :( However, I do think I need speed. I try harder for it. |
Quote:
It almost seems bad enough trying to get that Buneary with perfect ATK/SPD IV's and passing them on to a Sneasel. |
It really isn't that hard. You just need good parents and some patience.
|
True enough. At most, I would like up to max speed. 30 is the least.
As for attack, I don't mind 25 or higher. Only 25 or higher. No less. Anything less will cost me an OKHO, if you get my drift. |
