It won't be taking a hit to save its life anyway, so I think that's an awesome Dugtrio. Good job.

 

[Crystal Shaymin]

its speed could be better, but 6-7 points of max won't hurt it much.

 

[sims796]

Oh yes, it will. One point of speed can decide who goes first. won't say rebreed, but I will recommend you think that through.

 

[Crystal Shaymin]

hm. true. i thought about that.

 

[XaRhS]

ok,sorry if i'm insisting in doing questions but........is it dangerous for a team to set the scene with light creen and reflect in the first round?

What do you mean?You can only use 1 screen per turn.Now,not really.It makes your team take hits more easily and sweepers can sweep a bit more with lighter hits damaging them.

 

[XaRhS]

actually,you can set two screens in one turn but i think it's time wasting
lighter hits won't hurt me too much because i'm covered for spdefense-defense by 20% unless i take a choice-banded boosted move

Sorry,but you can't do that.

 

[XaRhS]

oh yeah i can set them and their effect ends in the same turn.
but anyways......you could do something else...........

 

[luke]

No you can't use two moves in one turn. And use proper grammar when typing. No one can understand half of what you're saying.

 

[XaRhS]

i mean for example:espeon used light screen
alakazam used reflect
and my grammar is good

 

[Lalapizzame]

Then please say it like exactly what you meant.That's a double battle.Don't make it sound like a single battle,which we use most of the time where it is impossible for a pokemon to use 2 moves at once.

 

[XaRhS]

i couldn't have meant that because i already know that one pokemon,can't use two moves in a row in the same turn

 

[luke]

Well next time when you're trying to make a point, be more clear.

Okay, how exactly does Liquid Ooze work? In my battle with aragornbird, I thought shoddy messed it up and everything spiraled into doom and yeah...

So basically, how exactly does it work? I though it stopped your health from being sapped by Leech Seed ._.

Nah, it still saps health, however, it just damages the amount Leech Seed would usually heal.

 

[sims796]

It does. It was most likey just a glitch in the system, lest it changed from the time I did it on Ruby.

Here is a set on my tentacruel I've been using for awhile and it's been working very well for me I just want to know what you guys think of it:

Teantacruel@ Black Sludge
Clear Body
Calm nature
252/80/40/138 HP/Def/special attack/special defence

Toxic Spikes
Brine
Knock Off
Confuse Ray

I know the EVs aren't totally efficient but they work, I'm not sure how standard this set is I got sick of Smogon so I don't look there anymore.
The set is pretty hax but I throw opponents off with it since this isn't a spinner, the main strategy is to confuse ray the first turn then set up spikes and knock off as they either switch out or hope for luck. I once won a battle by getting confusion hax for 3 turns strait as I set up spikes then proceded to knock the items off half the guys team, including leftovers off blissey and 2 choice items, as the guy switched in pokemon to take him out causeing a wave of poison to cripple his team and eventually give me the win because his blissey couldn't heal and it took almost 1/4 from toxic

 

[Lalapizzame]

If a pokemon gets poisoned by Toxic Orb,does the damage from poison increase every turn?

 

[sims796]

How good is the move Giga Drain? I was thinking of replacing that for my Plume over Energy Ball.

Well, It needs a good form of recovery. I can't use Leech Seed, since that requires a trip to Manhattan. Problem is, does it do enough damage to warrent usage? Of course, jerks like Tenta can halter it some.
