Shadow Ball and Dark Pulse have the same coverage basically.
Shadow Ball can lower the opponent's Sp. Def and hits Heracross harder, but Dark Pulse can flinch and it hits Normal-types.

Also, HP Ice + Dragon Pulse is kinda... redundant.

Yep ^

And its either one or the other on both D-Pulse and HP Ice.

Hp ice hits Gliscor + Zados harder, whilst Dragon pulse hits Kingdra, has more neutral coverage and higher base power.

^Last move plox is what you forgot. Priority is always good, for quick kills on weak foes, OHKOing weavile, and practically ohkoing t-tar aswell.
 
I can't breed Vacuum Wave onto it as I don't have anything that learns it unfortunately... (and no Wi-fi to get it :<) so I might just put Psychic there to hit Heracross and go with Dark Pulse as well.
 
I've been breeding Chanseys lately (for one of those hip new Calm ones) and I've gotten two potential greats:

Chansey #1, Calm, Natural Cure
HP: 20 - 24
Att: 28 - 29
Def: 30 - 31
SpA: 30 - 31
SpD: 24 - 27
Speed: 0 - 12

Chansey #2, Calm, Natural Cure
HP: 25 - 28
Att: 3 - 4
Def: 28 - 29
SpA: 30 - 31
SpD: 30 - 31
Speed: 17 - 19

Fun fact: when I started breeding, the parent Chansey (Calm, flawless HP/ Def/ SDef, Serene Grace) was level 5. That Chansey is now level 93.
 
I have a question about strategies, here:

Say I have a Forretress with Spikes and Toxic Spikes, and an Ambipom with Substitute, Agility, and Baton Pass. Should I put Forretress first to set up spikes, or Ambipom to speed up Forretress? Or, should I just get a completely different setup?

Sorry if detail seemed minimum.
 
It's kinda pointless to pass Speed to Forretress, really, since it won't be sweeping anything. Just put Forry first and set up your hazards and let Ambipom pass the speed to something that will make good use of it.
 
What pokemon is a good all around wall breaker.
Ev spread/move set plox?
 
Infernape is one of the best mixed sweepers in the game- it can run through almost any wall.

Infernape @ Life Orb

Cept Grumpig, of course. Yeah, not him.
 
Okay, I have a question that's been bugging me for the longest time.
What exactly do you need to be able to go "wireless" and battle people around the world/online? (And isn't that like GTS or something?) Because everytime it's like, You need a wireless router or whatever.. You don't have to buy anything to be able to battle other people, right? Like, I know about the Union Room and all that, it's for people near to you, but when I tried to connect to the wireless connection or w.e it is, it said I couldn't or there was no connection or something...
So what do I have to do? I really want to battle competitively with other people, but I just don't seem to understand the process in the "connecting" everything.

Thank you in advance for your time!:classic:

Well, to battle people over the internet, obviously, your DS needs a way to connect to the internet. Your computer, for example, is likely connected to the internet either by an Ethernet cable or wirelessly via a wireless router. Since the DS obviously doesn't have an ethernet port, its only option is to connect wirelessly. Since wireless routers are both wireless and connected to the internet, they're the first things your DS should be connected to.

Also, go to the WiFi/ Computer tech forum for questions like this.
 
Please help!

I did go to the Computer/Tech forum, but everyone was asking questions, no one could answer them.

And my labtop is a Vista, it's connected by a wireless router, but I'm just wondering how to get a Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. On the Nintendo WFC Settings option, my "Connection 1" Is "Ready", but when I tap Test Connection, it says, "Error Code: 51099, Unable to find a compatible access point. Confirm SSID settings or move within range of a compatible access point."

(My "SSID" is SMC).

Also, does that mean I have to go out and buy one of those USB Connectors or whatever? Or is there some way I can still connect wireless?

Any ideas anyone?:(
 
Go to www.nintendowifi.com, and imput your error code. It'll tell you what you must do to fix it.
 
If you're connected through a wireless router, everything is suddenly a lot easier. To connect, first you have to make your DS realize that the router exists. Go into the Nintendo WFC Settings on the main menu, then Nintendo WiFi Connection settings. click a connection, Find Access Point, and then it should find your router. You may need to input a code to connect, however. After that, it'll test the connection, and you should be good to go.
 
DS may not be compatible to his wireless modem/router. Mine is not supported so i had to by the USB adapter.

If you have the USB adapter make sure are downloading the Vista update. The software that comes with it on the disk does not work with vista that i know of.
 
I'm pretty much upset cause I did what you guys said, I put my DS right next to the wireless router and 'searched for an access point', but then it just says 'no access point in range. Move within range.'
...But I like put the stupid DS on top of the router.. How much closer can you get =.=
