Quick Question and Answer Thread / Breeding Questions

Thanks. So the best moveset to put would be:

Rain Dance
Thunder
Crunch
Fire Fang

Or should I replace Fire Fang?

Edit: I jjust saw that I can teach Luxray Magnet Rise. Should I teach it?

If you want this moveset on your shny, you'll have to replace firefang with something else.

Unfortunately I don't know much about moves so you'll have to ask someone else what to put. you can look through its moves on it's bulbapedia page and see if you find anything
 
@ groudonlover: I have no idea why you're giving him that set. The Rain Dance support set is not also a mixed attacker set. Pairing physical moves with special moves is a very bad idea unless the person knows what they're doing, and it is apparent by the fact that he's asking us for help that he doesn't.

I've had mixed success with Magnet Rise on my electric types. It can be very useful for double battles if you send your Luxray in with a teammate that knows Earthquake. I've used that strategy with my Manectric in Wi-Fi battles, and it works pretty well with proper prediction. Protect is another good option, as it shields against all attacks, not just ground ones. The only downside is that it fails if used in succession too many times. It really just depends on what you need for your team to work well together.
 
I have a question.

A Custap Berry lets someone move first in a pinch, but what if the opponent uses a priority move like Aqua Jet or Quick Attack?

Who would go first?

Priority moves have a +1 bonus, while (if Custap Berry works anything like Quick Claw) the Berry provides no bonus at all and just makes you go first. Since the Berry does not affect speed priority, Quick Attack would actually go first and you would be down a consumable item!

If both Pokemon used a priority move, then the one with the Berry would go first.

The same applies for items like Lagging Tail that make you go last when used against negative priority moves such as Whirlwind, Trick Room, Focus Punch, Vital Throw, or Avalanche, etc.
 
Sorry to sound like a noob, but can someone help me again? I need a moveset for my Absol. I'm thinking of:

Swords Dance
Sucker Punch
???????
???????

It's current moveset is:

Future Sight
Swords Dance
Night slash
Razor Wind

So... What's a good moveset?

Something without Razor Wind and Future Sight.

Remember! Absol can also learn Superpower and Psycho Cut, two totally ace moves. It can also learn Aerial Ace, Stone Edge, Fire Blast, a number of status-inflicting moves, and MANY stat-uppers.

Absol can do a lot of things, but based on your current set, I'd like:
-- Swords Dance
-- Sucker Punch
-- Night Slash
-- Superpower
 
Gabriel, I hope that you are using Super Luck and a Jolly/Adamant nature, correct? Also, I'd suggest giving it Psycho Cut over Night Slash. You lose STAB, but it can provide better coverage, especially for Hariyama, which will wall your set with Night Slash. Try both sets out, and then make a decision.
 
Ummmm... To be honest, I use a modest nature. I'm not that good to know what natures are best for each pokemon. I have a list of what stats what natures make better or not. I'm gonna try Psycho Cut. Where/how Absol learns it? And I'm using Super Luck.
 
Absol learns it at level 60.

O.O You're using a Modest nature? That's a super bad choice. Modest cuts attack, and you're going to be needing all the attack you can get.
 
Ahh, that could be a problem. You could ask around for Swords Dance, or just get it from the Game Corner, but Superpower will be more of a problem. Obviously, you;re just going to have to collect more shards.

EDIT: Ehh..
 
if i have a low level pokemon in battle then switch it with something...
would it get 2/3 the exp if holding an exp share?
and if holding a lucky egg would it be the same as the full normal exp?
 
Sec, I'll edit this with the answer for the first one. I'm doing my math =p
After doing my math with my sweet skills, I've come to the conclusion that the pokémon who was switched into battle and is holding the EXP. Share will receive 75% of the total experience, while the other pokémon will receive 25% of the total experience.

The Lucky Egg gives 1.5x the normal experience you would receive, and having two pokémon battle a single pokémon gives each pokémon .5x of the total experience received. Using that logic, .5x1.5=.75. A pokémon used that has the Lucky Egg will receive 75% of the total experience, while the other pokémon will still receive 50% of the total experience.
