Shoot... so that means I'll have to teach one Seismic Toss in FRLG and then transfer?

Precisely.

It's a hassle, really. Hopefully Platinum brings some move tutors back [especially the elemental punches].

I know, seriously! I nearly killed myself getting Ice Punch on one of my pokemon...
 
I F i have a MAle Vensaur and a female Torterra and the vensaur has petal dance will the turtwig egg if it is a turtwig have the move peatal Dance
 
Thanks i just wanted to know because petal dance is a pretty good move so i jusst wanted to know
 
No, Petal Dance is not a good move. Especially on Torterra. Torterra would be better off with Wood Hammar or Seed Bomb since its Att is way better than its SpA. Trust me, if you ever think to use Petal Dance on something, stop, and give that Pkmn Energy Ball instead. I have seriously beaten someone 6-0 because I got the chance to set up during a Petal Dance.
 
It's a reaal shame, too. Petal Dance is one of my favorite moves, wasted on a three turn move.
 
How come Petal dance is considered a bad move because it sticks you in a three turn move; yet Outrage, which does essentially the same thing but is a different type move that has LESS coverage, is usually recommended? ._.

Because although Outrage has less coverage, it isn't resisted by many.
Not to mention it is only recommended to use Outrage with Garchomp and DDnite, two Pokémon who hit extremely hard.

Also, Grass has more coverage than Dragon, but seriously, almost every type resists Grass, and the Pokémon who could use it aren't as strong as Chomp and Nite- meaning you'll just be set-up fodder.

What the hell kind of question is this? Petal Dance has a Base Power of 90 and is easily resisted by many threats. Outrage has a Base Power of 120 and even things that resist it can't take too much abuse from it.

Sorry if I came up a bit rude but there is NO comparing the two.
 
Oh, right. I also forgot the fact Outrage's BP is 120. :B

Just to inforce our points better, let's look at the top ten Pokémon from Shoddy's May Statistics:
# Garchomp (42139 usages)
# Gengar (35712 usages)
# Blissey (34844 usages)
# Gyarados (31594 usages)
# Tyranitar (31091 usages)
# Bronzong (29681 usages)
# Lucario (26596 usages)
# Heatran (24325 usages)
# Infernape (22927 usages)
# Salamence (22649 usages)

Now tell me, how many of them resist Grass? And Dragon? How many are weak to them?
You see now?
 
Let's also remember coverage means nothing if the move itself isn't that great. Outrage is resisted by only one type of Pokemon; steel. Everything else is hit neautral, making it a MUCH stronger move.
 
I know I ask hella questions but...

I got Pokerus on a lot of my Pokemon now. Now, if I stick, say, a Power Lens on one of my pokemon and beat a Gastly with it, will I gain 10 SPATK EV's or 6 SPATK EV's?

The Pokerues doubling accounts after the power item, therefore you will get 10 SpAtk EVs.
 
Oh... Now I get it. I was confused cause my Umbreon had some SPATK ev's even though I'd gotten 510 EV's on him before I fought anything else.
 
Well hey, asking questions is a good thing. You get advice from the experts, and then you become an awesome trainer. That's a good n' simple deal right?
 
How's this for an Azelf?

Azelf, Naive
x/2-3/31/30-31/x/30-31

The Attack is offputting, and the flawless Defense makes me laugh/ cry. Should I stick with it? It's the best I've gotten so far.

Also, if Serebii's calculator is correct, it has Hidden Power Fighting (BP 49). The odds of that are slim, and I can't get exact values unless I save, but it's worth noting. :/
