Hay guyz. I have a massive Mixape/Gyarados/Garchomp/Salamence weakness, but I need something to counter them, BESIDES Celebi, Vaporeon, and Cresselia.

 

[devilicious]

Deoxys-S?
Not really 'counter' them, but OHKOs them all, lol.

Starmie should do the job too, if the Gyarados doesn't pack Bite.

 

[airconditioning]

As Deviruchi said, Starmie kills all of those with ease. Slowbro w/ HP Electric should also work to an extent.

 

[sims796]

Justbr careful of the odd Grass Knot from Nape, you should do fine.

I settled for a bulky Deoxys-e, thanks guys (yes, it can survive things. It can live ScarfChomp's Outrage, Gyara's Waterfall after a DD, Sucker Punch from Choice Band Dugtrio, etc...)

 

[airconditioning]

Interesting. What spread does it use? I can't imagine it being able to deal a good amount of damage without the usual SAtk and Atk EVs.

Deoxys-e @ Leftovers
Timid
252 HP/184 SpA/74 Spe
Thunderbolt
Ice Beam
Psychic
Recover

It may not OHKO all of them, but they will almost always switch out.

You might need to enter the router's information manually.

Also, are you sure it's a wireless router? Like, it has an antenna and everything?

... It doesn't have an antenna.. At least, I don't see one. It's just a little gray-ish rectangle thing with a lot of green lights flashing...

Then it's probably not a wireless router.

I asked my parents if it was and they said yes. But if it's not, what should I do to be able to battle people around the world? Don't really want my EV training to go down the drain.

 

[airconditioning]

Either your parents aren't very good with computers, or your router just has very poor wireless capabilities.

 

[kissing. raindrops]

Dayum.. Does this mean that I have to buy a USB connector in order to get on Wi-Fi?

 

[airconditioning]

Hopefully not, as those aren't even on the market anymore.

Ok, I would really love to make a thread of my team but I have absolutly no idea what are EVs and how they work. I have EV trained before ever since I played Pokemon. All I did was raise levels. How do you find out the Pokemon's EVs if you didnt EV train the Pokemon?

Anybody know a good place that tell me this? If not, could someone explain me this in a PM?

 

[Matt-O]

Raising levels is not EV training. It is impossible to find EVs if you didn't keep track of them. There should be a sticky on this site somewhere that will help you understand EVs.

I know i didnt EV train, well thanks anyway. Then i will never be able to make a thread of my team since it might get locked.

thanks again. i will try to find something on EV training

 

[sims796]

Start over. Use the EV reducing berries to remove all EVs. You can still post a team, and put the EVs you are planning to use.

Hi ya'll, quick question... I find that, using the IV calculator on Serebii, when I calculate a Pokemon's IV's, the HP type and power tend to change from when it was level ____ to level ____. Is that supposed to happen, or am I entering the information wrong (into the calculator) or what?:\

 

[BobberyJo]

It's because of EV's. You can't cheack the IV's of a Pokemon that has fought battles.

Also, Iv counts are more accurate as the level of the pokemon goes up, so if you want to know the exaxt IV's of a pokemon, that said pokemon must be at lvl. 100.
