I have a Dilemma. I have my five pokes set in stone I have to make some EV adjustments. However Im stuck on the sixth one. I have the Standard Scarfed Mence and Rotom-W. My problem is Rotom feels awkward when playing it. So far couple in game and couple wifi. If I go with Mence I have a HUGE weakness against fairies and big weakness to ice types. What would be the suggestion in this matter?
I'm not sure what you mean by your Rotom-W feeling awkward. As for Salamence, a Fire or Steel type can more or less help cover its weaknesses. What's the rest of your team?

Hello, I have a question.

Well, everytime I use the Super Rod in Emerald while surfing, I have to press A, when it says "A Pokémon is on the hook". But then there is no Pokémon, that appears, instead of it the whole waiting for a "Pokémon on the hook" is repeating. Is this a bug, or do I have to press A around the five times, until a Pokémon appears?

If you have a Sceptile with unburden and you give him leftovers, does his speed keep doubling?
Unburden doubles speed if the held item is lost, consumed or stolen, so nope the speed boost doesn't come into effect.
Gone forever for personal reasons.

You have to keep on pressing A actually might only need it once or three times, never know :)

I have a Light Metal Beldum and Analitic Magnemite. I have been told to aim for Clear Body.


Anyways, I know Magnezone has resistance to 12 types, but Beldum has better stats and less weakness from types.

Who's better in the end for competitive?

Magnezone. Metagross has fallen out of favor in OU because it gained weaknesses to Dark and Ghost. Magnezone lost its resistances to Dark and Ghost, making it have 10 resistances. Still good, though.

I have a Latios with timid nature. I wanted to do psyshock, draco meteor, roost and hidden power fire, but the Latios is perfect IV's and learns only HP dark. What can I do?
try my set:

Draco Meteor
Psyshock
Trick
Surf

it works wonders so far. and let it hold a choice specs. His Draco Meteor will hit like a nuke! And Trick is to cripple the opponent, by tricking them your choice specs, they get locked into only one move, and you get free control of your moves again.

EDIT: 500th post! Awesome! xD

The problem with that is Trick is a Black2/White2 move tutor move for [email protected], and her's is on X/Y, so she can't teach it that.

Alternative moves to consider in Hidden Power Fire's place are Thunderbolt and Ice Beam. Thunderbolt is good for hitting bulky water types hard (and lots of water types carry an ice attack), while Ice Beam has fairly good all-around coverage and lets you snipe Garchomp, Dragonite, and Salamence (among other things) without having to cut your Sp.Attack.

For Machamp, I think it'd be a good idea to switch Vital Throw with either Fire Blast or Rock Slide. You already have a fighting-type attack in Cross Chop, so you don't really need another. XD;; Also, for Espeon, you should try replacing Hyper Beam with Bite or Growth.

How can someone obtain a code for others to view battles?
You have to connect to the internet. Then when you go into the Vs. Recorder, click the arrow button and upload the battle. You'll then get the code.

how easily is he outsped - unboosted - properly trained and with a a jolly nature
Rapidash is all right; it's got decent Speed and could outrun many other Pokémon. Wouldn't really call it outstanding, though. :( If you want a moveset for it, here's one:

Rapidash (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Flare Blitz
- Megahorn
- Low Kick
- Wild bolt
how easily is he outsped - unboosted - properly trained and with a a jolly nature
rapidash is a forgotten pokemon, back in the days of b&w iirc it was used in nu.
it was p good and fast for the tier .
yes there is nothing called wild bolt lol
and life orb>band
mainly cause less prediction towards switching

it's wild charge

I prefer to use a light ball. Eviolite is decent but Pikachu isn't really know to be the most defensive thing ever so might as well go for the power boost.

Light Ball > Eviolite. Pikachu is too weak without Light Ball and it's still frail even with Eviolite:
-Substitute
-Thunderbolt
-Hidden Power (Ice)
-Encore/Grass Knot
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe
Item: Light Ball
Ability: Lightning Rod

I have a question actually about Showdown servers.
So, when I try and go on Showdown now, first off, when I use Chrome, it keeps switching backgrounds and never loads the proper things.
Now, when I use Firefox and Internet Explorer, it goes extremely slow, and freezes after a good 30 seconds.

Can someone tell me a solution?

Depends on what nature Lickitung is.

But for Ludicolo, it has to be on a Rain team to be effective:
-Hydro Pump/Surf
-Giga Drain
-Ice Beam
-Focus Blast
Nature: Modest/Timid
EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Swift Swim
