Um can anyone answer my question about if murkrow is more prefered as a physical or special sweeper?

 

[evilcheese]

it depends on what you want and what movepool it has. it can even be a mixed sweeper.

 

[PsyDragon Trainer]

Can you win TM 64: Explosion more than once per game in the Game Corner?

 

[Dark Destiny]

is DD on a t-tart gd?
because it raises att + spd

 

[Azonic]

@PsyDragon Trainer: A lot of these questions really have nothing to do with battling >:

@Destiny100:Yes, it is. Well, there's a special Tyranitar called DDtar.

DDTar Set It's something like this:

Tyranitar@Leftovers/Life Orb (If I were u I will use Life Orb)
Natuire:Jolly
EV's: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Dragon Dance
Crunch
Earthquake
Taunt

Hi all, say i used giga impact with my slaking, would it use the attack, slack off then recharge or would the recharge go over the slack?

No, you still have to recharge, which is why is fails as you get revenge killed easily by most notably Heracross.

 

[El Gofre]

Yeah i was just making sure, it almost made a rechrge move viable lol

If put in my salamence, use dragon dance, return salamence to my party, and then put salamence back in will the effects of the dd still be there?

 

[Anti]

No; stat-up boosts go away if you leave the field, unless you use Baton Pass.

They disappear. I used to think they stayed...

No. The point of phazing in this game is to force the opponent to switch out, thus eliminating stat-ups.

 

[Azonic]

I agree with what Loquacity said. The whole point of forcing switches is to eliminate stat-ups. Thats what introduced PHazing to the Metagame.

In short: no.

 

[Cloud_85]

A question, Which one works better:
Nasty plot Tomb or
Pain Split Tomb
???
PD:Both work on my team

 

[El Gofre]

Pain split ftw, its the best way for low-HP walls to make the most of their low hp

 

[Lady Nicole]

Pain split ftw, its the best way for low-HP walls to make the most of their low hp

I agree with this ^_^ Although if the opponent predicts this, they could switch in to a Pokemon that needs healing... Still, I don't pretend to be a good battler or anything but I think Pain Spilt Tomb is more annoying and less risky than the Nasty Plot Tomb :)

 

[Dark Azelf]

Yeah in most cases Pain Split is the way to go.

Spiritomb@leftovers
Careful nature
252 HP / 144 att / 112 sp.def
- Sucker Punch / Taunt
- Pursuit / Taunt
- Will-o-wisp
- Pain Split


Standard pain split tomb.



I prefer the rest-talk set.


Spiritomb@leftovers
252 HP / 100 DEF / 156 SP.DEF
Calm nature
- Hidden power Fighting
- Shadow Ball
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

This is incredible annoying to get rid of and is great as a Spin Blocker and pressure stall. Fighting and Ghost hit everything in the game for at least neutral.

 

[Cloud_85]

3-0, So I think I will try both on shoddy before start with the breeding...
Thanks to all anyways
