Simple Q&A Thread

Threads like this make me feel slightly guilty about using cloned Master Balls to catch all of my Legendaries.

Then again, it balances out when I have Legendaries that are actually usable in battles.

Also, Sableye sucks. Spiritomb ftw.
 
well this is how i caught most other ledgendaries:

heal block, boost up my defences, rest, heal block, boost defences, rest, (basically just keep the battle go for as long as possible)

then hit it with false swipe amonst other low power moves, then put it to sleep with hypnosis or yawn (i kinda like uxie)

then throw lots of timer balls at it, :)

That's what I do too. It's a lot easier. I started doing that after trying to catch regigas 30+ times XD
 
If Future Sight waits a few turns to do damage, would it be classified as an attack? If not, then it would be blocked by the taunt that Gofre suggested.
 
So in the end, a Dark/Ghost will still be affected by Future Sight. I would use a Smeargle with: Endeavor, Endure, Thunder Wave, Taunt. Then, try to predict when Hyper Beam will be used, and just endure, then leave it with 1 HP, TWave it, and Taunt it. Easier to catch, by then.

Although Future Sight is a Psychic Type attack, It deals Elemental-less Damage, Similar to Struggle. That means EVERYTHING, including Shedinja and Dark Types, can be hurt by it.

So in the end, NOTHING RESISTS FUTURE SIGHT.

Wow, maybe its not such a sucky move after all. Can it bypass protect though? Because if it cant just strap that on too :)
 
darkrai would be a good pokemon
 
im building a team to battle online
but im not sure which one to go with
all i know is i want metagross in my team
i was thinking ninjask baton passing to it
but then. when else?
im basically asking
what type of team should i use with a metagross in it
or like whats a good special sweeper to work with it
 
At what speed is considered too fast to use under Trick Room conditions? At the moment i'm going with Base 60 as my highest speed so I can still outspeed Skarmory etc under TR
 
I never seem to be able to use explosion right
when do you think is a good time to use it?
 
Wat is a level in normal terms (stats)...

Like gained 2 speed levels?
 
Angelic Diablo: 50 Speed would be a good time to stop. Although you could get speed to an extent. Never go beyond 60.

Marcy_11: Explosion is used one or two turns before the expected KO. If you believe your opponent is going to 2HKO you and you have a slower Pokemon than the opponent, the next turn is when you should be using it. If you have a really fast Pokemon that outruns the opponent, the wise thing to do is to get an attack in first, then Explode.

shadowman080: It's a boost to your stats in a battle, but goes away after the battle is finished. For example, Agility boosts your Speed stat two stages. One level boost to a stat is adding 0.5 of the original stat to your Speed. So if my Pikachu has a Speed stat of 100, it would have 200 after Agility is used (Agility boosts Speed two levels. If it only boosted one level, Pikachu's speed would be 150.)
 
I don't believe it can be swapped, otherwise...

Spiritomb is better, although it's a very sucky strategy. It involves having a doubles team, one starter with skill swap and the other being shedinja:
1. Skill Swap from shedinja to other lead
2. Switch shedinja for desired recipient
3. Skill swap a final time.

That's how it's done. If you can avoid super effective attacks for a full 3 turns then you might just be able to pull it off.
