Alright posted my invitation on wifi waiting for you now Mr steel.
Alright posted my invitation on wifi waiting for you now Mr steel.
I have a new addition to my team Richard, so if I don't go to my friends house before you're done with this battle, wanna go a round?
Well you beat me XD, I thought item clause was on though?
Nah, I never play with Item Clause. Sorry, I guess I should specify that... Item Clause never works because you need at least two walls, with two Leftovers. It just doesn't work out logically any other way.
But that was a close match alright. I was having fun with your Skarmory at the very end, because I knew Starmie would survive two switches with the Spikes and Stealth Rock. And that would activate the berry, and let her pwn. But I didn't expect an unboosted Thunderbolt to do as little as it did. Did you max out Special Defense or something? Usually Skarmory doesn't survive Starmie.
We haven't had a go in a while. Feel like having a match?
Sure, I could do a quickie. Let me fix up my team, and I'll meetcha on WiFi!
EDIT:
I'm on now, Itachi. Whenever you get on, I've got an invite up.
Hmmm... methinks you D/Ced, Itachi. It normally doesn't D/C without a delay, and our battle shut down just as Gengar was about to be OHKOed. I should hope you didn't intentionally D/C, but that's the way its looking. :-/
hey that was exactly what i was thinking because when i was in a wifi battle i used dragon pulse on a blastoise with charizard and didnt do much damage of course.Then i used flamethrower and did close too(or more)damage as if i have used dragon pulse.Steelix did do well! I love that big Steel snake, but he tends to take a bit too much damage from super effective physical hits. I practically maxed out his Defense (gave him the same EV spread as the standard Skarmory), and even with close to 530 Defense, he still gets dented pretty badly by Earthquake and Focus Punch.
STAB is using the same attacking type as the Pokemon's type using it, and the attack gains a 1.5 boost. For example, Earthquake on Metagross is not STABed, so it stays at a base 100 power. But Earthquake from Garchomp is STABed, so it automatically becomes 150 base power.
That's why whenever you're in a situation that a Pokemon can't hit a foe for super effective damage, you always use a STAB attack. For example, if you have an Alakazam without Energy Ball up against a Donphan, some people may use Focus Blast because it has a godly 120 base damage. But Psychic gets a STAB (1.5 boost), so it becomes an automatic 135 base damage, which is more than Focus Blast. So the apparently 90 base Psychic will in fact do more neutral damage than a 120 base Focus Blast, just because it's the same type as Alakazam.
Hopefully all that made sense. XD
