Dragonite doesn't even learn Fire Punch from a move tutor in FRLG. He learns it from the move relearner in DP.

One thing that may be helpful is to check the IVs of your pokemon, find the stat that the pokemon will reach when it is of a certain level and use it as a benchmark. Say, you have 252 EVs in Attack on a level 29 Dratini, which has 20 Attack IVs. It should reach 66 Attack, but if it is lower than that you may have less than 252 EVs. If it is higher however, you calculated the IVs wrongly or your game is screwy =/

My Dratini is lv 27 w/ 57 attack right now, judging by the the way his attack has been growing he'll have 61 - 62 attack at lv 29, I never gave him any proteins, would that give him a boost or am I screwed in the end?

Oh, thanks, I thought serebii said he only gets it from the Move Tutor in FR/LG

Which is the best Swampert? Mixpert, CB Pert, or pure Physical, with max HP & DEF?

I'm thinking Mixpert may be best. Of course, Cursepert is out of the question, unfortunately.

Skip Shot September 7th, 2008 7:22 PM

How much does a standard CB Azumarill's Aqua Jet due to a standard Mixape? I would test it, but no one on smogon or official tests, and ABYAY's server isn't working.

sims796 September 8th, 2008 7:13 AM

Assuming you are using an ATK+ nature on Azumarril. I don't know what's standard for her, & don't particulary care.


Defender HP: 293
Move Damage: 320 - 376
Damage: 109.22% - 128.33%

To a Infernape running zero HP/DEF. Which is the standard for that, I believe. Ifyougetacrit, thedamage equals >9000.


I'll repost my question to garter replies.

For defensive purposes Mixpert wins as it out damages physical pert.

However CB Pert is great for offensive purposes, and yes, its attacks hurt.....alot >_<.

So it depends on what you want it for =p.

I'm having trouble deciding on a Rest-Talker for my team. Both Suicune and Zapdos make great choices, but I want to know which does better.

Yep.

Apostle how could you miss those lol ? XD

I was doing it off the top of my head. I'm sorry.

St. Anger September 9th, 2008 6:41 PM

Can Uxie be a mixed wall?
 
I was experimenting soo.... answer please.

Arsibiyez September 9th, 2008 8:13 PM

Straight answer, yes.

But there are way too many moves to choose from, and a lot of strategies you could use with him. Smogon has a couple of choices you could go with. Or if you have a specific role for Uxie to play in mind, mention it here and maybe we could help you more.

SapphireL September 9th, 2008 10:12 PM

You might hear people say she's inferior to Cresselia when it comes to mixed walling, though.

Uxie gets a lot of useful moves Cresselia doesn't. Yawn, Stealth Rock, Grass Knot, Thunderbolt, U-Turn, etc.

El Gofre September 9th, 2008 10:52 PM

Uxie is a support pokemon but makes a poor fully fledged wall due to lack of recovery move and better competition in what smogon calls "The floaty psychics" region- Consisting of the likes of Cresselia and bronzong. They can all do jobs better than him- Cresselia has much better defences (When HP is counted) and recovery, and bronzong has a huge quantity of resistances/immunities compared to uxie. Heck even mespirit pulls off a better CM set. It just isnt worth trying when the alternatives are so much better.

.inLOVE September 10th, 2008 1:12 AM

If you give it the right moves it is. It has poor defense, though.

Dukey September 10th, 2008 1:17 AM

Shoddy / Zapdos / HP Ice Help?
 
Hi I'm on shoddy and tried to make a Zapdos using hidden power ice, but every combination of IV's to get HP ice on Zapdos is invalid here's the IV's I'm trying.

All are 31 except -
Attempt 1: All 31 except Atk 30 & Def 30
Attempt 2: All 31 except Atk 20 & Def 20
Attempt 3: All 31 except Atk 10 & Def 10
Attempt 4: All 31 except Atk 0 & Def 0

if you know any other combinations to get HP Ice on Zapdos that DO work plz tell me!

LethalTexture September 10th, 2008 7:18 AM

This belongs better in S&M, so I'll drop it off there.

*moves*

Im gonna quote the S&M rules here:

Moves are but a tiny fraction of what makes a pokemon good. They need correct EVs, a good nature, helpful typing and Beneficial stats. Plus while uxie struggles to wall (As it has already been noted) there is no way on earth its defences could be described as poor- As far as I'm aware base 130 on each side of the spectrum is pretty damn good.

Umm... what? Where can anybody get away with saying that Base 130 Def and SDef is poor?

Those are really, very impressive defenses, mind you. There aren't many Pokemon that match up to that in both stats. Let alone, one as unpredictable as Uxie.

Uxie makes for a predictable poke really, since the only set it run's better than one of its many alternatives is the support option. Otherwise it just isnt that threatening.

AluminumKnight September 10th, 2008 10:00 AM

Like people have said, trying to use it as a straight up wall is not recommended, though it can take hits well. The only thing Uxie does better than Cress is run a support/tank set with it's good support movepool including Stealth Rock, Yawn, U-Turn, T-wave. It can also use Thunderbolt which is an advantage. Too bad Gamefreak put unnecessary points in speed on Uxie and didn't put them it's below average HP...

. September 10th, 2008 1:36 PM

Uxie is inferior to Cresselia. Straight up. Those extra moves mean nothing really, since I hardly believe Yawn is going to save it. Cresselia has more defenses overall, and can stall better.

I still think they're both set up bait though.
