Well, it's gonna have to be somebody else. I sold D/P, so I only know about the pokemon I actually used or have researched...this isn't one of them. No need for baton pass though, I can tell you that...maybe with agility, but not with rain dance. If it's a phyiscal attacker that passes speed you want, I know just the thing:

Scizor (F) @ Leftovers
Swarm
252 HP / 128 Atk / 128 Def
Adamant / Impish
- Agility
- Baton Pass
- X-Scizzor
- Swords Dance / *insert physical attack here*

Scizor is a cool BPer, and has tremendous attack.

Captain Noob here!

I want to make a kick ass Blissey for my tank/healer.

I am currently working on hatching a Chansey with Impish nature. What things should I be aware of while raising this pokemon?

Blissey isn't a tank...it's a special wall. there is no such thing as a healer either. If you mean heal beller/cleric, then yes, blissey can do that:

Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SDef
Bold Nature
- Aromatherapy
- Thunder Wave
- Seismic Toss
- Softboiled

Win.

Hey, is there any way for me to get a second Stealth Rock TM? I'm planning on putting a Blissey in my team, but with all the crap I'm going to need to go through to get one with Seismic Toss, I want it to be the best damn Blissey around. I already used my Stealth Rock TM on my Shuckle (it was female, by the way ) and since Seismic Toss most likely isn't a breedable move for Blissey, I wouldn't be able to start a Smeargle chain to get it on (in?) her. Can anyone help me?

Quick question: Does life orb raise SP atk/Atk by 1.3? Or does it raise the move's base power by 1.3. If its the first, mix sweepers will be scary with it..

1) I don't have Wi-Fi, so I can't get online.

2) I don't want to pay $20 for an AR that I'm only going to use for this. Plus, I'd rather not hack.

What is the advantage of having Blissey know Aromatherapy instead of Heal Bell? I thought they did the same thing...

Well, not much, but if you run into a poke with Soundproof, it wont work. But there arent many threats with Soundproof.

I am the same way. I can't stand voice chat cause, well, when I'm battling, I don't wanna hear a damn voice. What for? So I can hear annoying background music? Or maybe someone telling me "wow, good move!" No thanks.

'nother question:

Is it possible to breed shiny pokemon to get more shiny pokemon? In other words- is shiny a gene that can be passed?

Haha...no....

Its a shame, really, but a shiny hatching a shiny has the same OUTRAGEOUS chance of catching one.

I laugh because we all though of that. Until we saw the truth.

I feel like an interviewer...

I want to max out my Blissey's HP and Defense EVs. What is the best way to do this? My Blissey is actually a lvl 1 Chansey atm. How many vitamins does it take to max out?

Well, here's an EV lesson:

With Vitamins, they add 10 EV's to any one stat. (HP Up=10 HP, Calcium=10 SP>ATK, etc)

However, you can only give them vitamins until that stat has about 100 EV.

For instance, if Chansey has no EVs in HP, you can give it 10 HP Up, giving Chansey 100 HP EV's.

However, lets say Chansey already has 60 HP EVs. Then You can only give it 4 HP Ups, giving Chansey 40 more EV's, making that 100.

Now lets say she has 97 HP EV's. You can give her ONE MORE. Making that 107. But no more after that. Get it?

It's impossible, unless you've kept a detailed record of every Pokemon you've fought. I know, I hate Nintendo too.

That really depends on the Pokemon. For a sweeper, it may be wise to max out Speed and Attack (keeping in mind that you only want to max it to 252, not 255, so you have an extra bit of EVs left). However, for walls or tanks, you may want to max out HP, then split the rest into Def/ SpDef, and possibly put some points into attacking. It really depends on the Pokemon.

Do i ev train as im gaing levels or before or whislt?
Every time you gain experience, you gain EVs. However, EV Training usually refers to being aware of EVs, and actively raising those EVs, rather than just fighting whatever comes your way.

The life orb do i get that through battle points?
No, I believe that it's found somewhere on Stark Mountain (I think it's outside the entrance, however, I'm not sure).

What are all the items need for EV training?
Well, items aren't needed for EV training. They just make it easier. Here are all of them:

Macho Brace: Doubles EV Points gained.
Power Weight: Adds +4 HP EVs to every gain.
Power Bracer: Adds +4 Atk EVs to evey gain.
Power Belt: Adds +4 Def EVs to every gain.
Power Lens: Adds +4 SpAtk EVs to every gain.
Power Band: Adds +4 SpDef EVs to every gain.
Power Anklet: Adds +4 Speed EVs to every gain.

If you have Pokerus, it's worth noting that the items act before Pokerus, meaning the equation looks like this:

(EV + 4) x 2 = Gain

For example, if you were fighting Golduck (2 SpAtk EVs ea.), you would gain 12 EVs each battle.
There. That should answer your questions.

Would Floatzel make a good Choice Banded Swift Swimmer? and if so, would the following be acceptable

[email protected] Band
Adament Nature
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
-Waterfall
-Headbutt
-Crunch
-Ice Fang

(Yea, I do have a thing about putting choice items on swift swimmers. Not my fault it works quite well)

EDIT: Is Manaphy consider Uber? I know base 600 stats, but Rain Dance + Hydration + Rest = free heal

Hey, I've been thinking of putting a Cresselia on my team, for multiple reasons:

1) I need a good Special wall.
2) It's not considered an uber.
3) Getting a Blissey with Seismic Toss is going to be a HUUUUEEEEG pain. (Blissey's out of the picture)
4) I already have a water type in the form of Slowbro (Milotic is out of the picture)

However, when I tried capturing it (using Master Balls and a Bold Ralts with Synchronize), I noticed that all three that I caught were Timid nature, with the exact same horrid IVs. Now, I had gotten the Lunar Wing a while ago, but I hadn't seen Cresselia in battle, so I assumed that it's nature and IVs were not set. However, considering the high improbability of getting three exact Cresselias in a row, I'm starting to wonder: when are Cresselia's IVs and natures set?

And if it turns out that there's nothing I can do, can anyone recommend a good Special Wall?

[B]I don't think any Legedaries's iv's are set. Slowbro/Celebi is a good one.[/B]
