I'm stumped!
 
All right, I was facing a friend in a battle.

My Porygon-Z has 306 speed, and his Staraptor had 328? Speed.

My Porygon-Z was holding a life orb, Adaptability is his ability.

Not sure about the Staraptor.

So Stealth Rock is in play, and my Porygon-Z outruns it.

Then he accuses me of hacking, which with these guys I raised from little eggs.

Tell me WHY did I hit his Staraptor first?

Paranoia July 5th, 2007 6:03 PM

Was the staraptor paralyzed?

Always and Never July 5th, 2007 6:05 PM

No, everything was like what I described.

Seriously this is making me mad, I mean he should of outran me, WHY DID I OUTRUN HIM?

Did the Stealth Rock slow him down?

Paranoia July 5th, 2007 6:13 PM

I haven't known stealth rock to slow down, The only thing that could have done it, was that you used a move that always goes first, But I inquire was it a Wi-Fi battle, or was your friend in the room?

Always and Never July 5th, 2007 6:25 PM

A Wi-Fi battle. It was done online.

Well he accuses you of your pokemon being hacked, look at his staraptor, it has max IVs, he's the one more likely to have hacked pokemon. Maxed IVs in speed is hard to get, I wouldn't be surprised if his whole team had max stats.

And I have no idea why he was outrun, maybe because hackers = fail

MegaDitto July 5th, 2007 6:54 PM

Excluding hacking. Maybe it was the item the Staraptor held.

Always and Never July 5th, 2007 7:22 PM

Yeah, I don't know that side of things.

But why would he hold an Iron Ball?

I don't believe the guy is a hacker because he goes around going I hate hackers, so he automatically assumes that when he starts to lose, he is a hacker.

Just, how is that possible?

I'm really reaching for the Stealth Rock slows you down. But really, 306 vs. 328? I'm really stumped.

PokeWarped July 5th, 2007 7:32 PM

Adaptabilaty JUST might have given you a little more speed than your opponent. JUST might.

Always and Never July 5th, 2007 7:43 PM

Adaptability is another STAB. Exactly the same it doesn't add speed?

I'm reaching for Power Weight or something now.

Mizer July 5th, 2007 7:55 PM

Iron Ball reduces the Opponent's Speed and makes flying type get hit by ground type moves. That is why you attacked first because of his idiocy.

Faceless* July 6th, 2007 6:16 AM

Why'd you have to make a whole thread about this? XD

anyways i was NOT holding an iron ball, i was holding a sharp beak FYI, and yes, 31 spd IV is what i got. and as paranoia says, hacked staraptor? what about his porygon-Z? Porygon-Z's have 90 spd, staraptors have 100 spd, and he tells me that HIS porygon-Z has a 31 IV in spd.... if you must know, the max spd for porygon-Z is 308 :\

And no, i dont recall Tri-Attack requiring to go first...

and to make it even worst, he says he has a timid gliscor w/ 31 IV spd with somehow ALSO outran my staraptor, and the item he was holding was a dang focus sash (which i knew right away because an Ice Punch (from my Metagross) didn't defeat the Gliscor..)

TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE TERRIBLE, his Gliscor knocked my metagross's hp down to like 25% hp Left.... and my metagross has 252 EV in defense(Metagross's base stat is 130 Defense), and it has an Adament nature, and the other 252 ev is in attack... That is total BS if you're asking me

-------------------------------------------------------------

PS : in case you haven't noticed.... (wow if you didn't, you have problems.. :\) im the battler that xxscytherxx has battled

so sure why not? avoid me in battles because I HAVE ACCUSED PEOPLE OF HACKING!!

Nightofshadow July 6th, 2007 6:36 AM

Scyther is already known to hack his pokemon stats. I highly doubt he changed that. He admitted hacking pokemon stats when he played me =\ So i honestly wouldnt believe anything he says in regards to hacking pokemon :V

c_dog July 6th, 2007 7:35 AM

well, that would help explain why my entire team was swept by his outraged garchomp. I always thought it was just garchomp's outlandish attack plus choice band or something. It was my first battle though so I didn't really know which pokemon could do what and how much damage they could deal to my pokemon.

Nightofshadow July 6th, 2007 7:43 AM

I played him 2 times and both times his stats were through the roof. There are a few fair action replay users. Dont get me wrong. But hacking your stats to that extreme is silly. I know for a fact he hacks his pokemon stats. Hes even afraid to play me to prove it

Azonic July 6th, 2007 7:56 AM

Why don't you post Porygon's movesets?

And Staraptors?

Nightofshadow July 6th, 2007 7:57 AM

Honestly, The movesets dont really matter. Ive played both of them and neither have priority changing moves on either pokemon
