Is Dragon Rush better than Dragon Claw on Garchomp? The low accuracy worries me.

 

[Porygonz]

what does all the abreations mean like EV, Ev's, EV'd. any websites have a great glossary of pokemon terms?

 

[Sydian]

EV = effort value
EVs = effort values
EV'd = EV trained

As for the Garchomp, I prefer Dragon Claw's accuracy to Dragon Rush's, but that's just me. I don't play competitively.

EV'd Pokes at 100 completely overpower level 100 normal pokes that have their ev mixed up?

 

[jigglyppuff8]

Typically, Pokemon that have their EVs focused in their best stats almost always do better than "well balanced" Pokemon with their EVs all over the place.

Is the Matsuda method worth it?

 

[jvn753]

Is it even worth EV training a legendary poke?

 

[jigglyppuff8]

It's always worth EV training every Pokemon.

Quick question about EV training, because I'm a noob and still trying to get my head around it >_< - the stat points you gain from the training, are they added on as soon as you've KO'd four Gyaradoses/Geodudes/whatever, or when the Pokémon next gains a level, or have I got this thing completely wrong and need to go back to the drawing board XD? Thanks =)

 

[Amore]

Well, you tend to get the stat gains through levelling up, but you don't notice until higher levels.

Heyy guys heres a quick noobish question that im hoping can be answered
How do i get Politoed, Slowking and Kingdra?
Thanx in advance to whoever answers for me :D

 

[Logiedan]

To get:
Politoed - Let Poliwhirl hold a King's Rock and trade it while the Poliwhirl is holding the King's Rock.
Slowking - Same method for Politoed,let a Slowpoke hold a King's Rock,trade it while letting it hold the King's Rock.
Kingdra - Get a Seadra and let it hold a Dragon Scale,trade it while letting it hold the Dragon Scale.

Politoed - Let Poliwhirl hold a King's Rock and trade it while the Poliwhirl is holding the King's Rock.
Slowking - Same method for Politoed,let a Slowpoke hold a King's Rock,trade it while letting it hold the King's Rock.
Kingdra - Get a Seadra and let it hold a Dragon Scale,trade it while letting it hold the Dragon Scale.

Ok then, thanx very much :D

I'm wondering what would happen if you used the attack Trick Room and then sent our Regigigas. Would it strike first because of it's ability Slow Start? And then by the time Trick Room wears off, would Regigigas be at normal speed, without the Slow Start decrease?

Another thing I was wondering is if you used Trick Room and you opponent had out a Pokemon with Speed Boost/Tinted Lense, would their speed decrease each turn? Or would it continue to rise despite Trick Room being active?

Does anyone know of any good legit websites where I can buy Pokemon Platinum at a reduced price?

Regigigas would attack first if Trick Room were active (considering that it is slower than the other Pokemon without Trick Room). Since Slow Start and Trick Room both last 5 turns, Regigigas will be at normal speed without the Trick Room decrease by the time Trick Room wears off.

Speed will continue to rise despite Trick Room being active, but all Trick Room does is allow slower Pokemon to go first; it doesn't increase their speed or decrease the speed of faster Pokemon.

Thanks for the reply! It would be cool to have Regigigas + Trick Room on a team, a total killer ^^
