Meh, it's more of a fan favorite, as long as you have spinner support.

But there'sbeing creative, and being justplain noobish.

 

[devilicious]

Yeah. One thing is using your favourites to their best, another thing is Ice Fang Glaceon.

 

[Dark Azelf]

Fake Tears/Wish/Ice Beam/Hidden power Fighting Glaceon is a nightmare, and especially because the thing is so bulky >_<.


Anyways, i have heard about something called the "Pursuit Glitch", that being if you ko one of your opponents pokemon with Pursuit and you have a Choice Item attached, you are allowed to change moves after when the opponent sends in their next pokemon, is this true ?

Help about a shiny Ponyta

Hello!
I recently caught a shiny Ponyta and lv. 17 and I don't know what to do with it; leave it lv. 17, train it, evolve it? If I have to train it, how will I EV train it ( i mean with what stats).
Thank you.

 

[True Justice]

I would check the IVs first. If they are in the single digits, then I wouldn't bother with it. Or if you don't want to train it, you can always keep it as a trophy.

 

[Houndoom88]

It would be a good idea if I trained it to lv. 100.
But what stats do i have to increase?

 

[True Justice]

Probably Attack and Speed. Rapidash's Attack and Speed are it's highest stats and it has a few good Physical Moves (Flare Blitz and Megahorn) but if you want to talk about what stats it should have, you should request to Mod to move this into S&M.

hey guys, not to make a big dela or anything but whats the difference between plates and items?

Sharp beak and Sky Plate?

 

[Eisaku]

What's wrong with using that? Atleast, I'm just wondering?

It was present in the early Japanese versions, but was corrected in the NTSC-Y and PAL ones.

Should I put Flamethrower or Lava Plume on my Heatran? I like Flamethrower for more power but Lava Plume has a 30% burn chance.

 

[devilicious]

Mo Man, what set are you running? I'd use Fire Blast / Flamethrower on any set but the Restalk/Bulky one, which then I'd go with Lava Plume.

 

[Matt-O]

The set is:
Heatran@Life Orb (when I get another Life Orb)
40HP 252Sp.Att 216Spd Timid
Earth Power
Lava Plume/Flamethrower
HP Ice
Taunt

 

[devilicious]

Hm, Life Orb set... I'd probably go with Flamethrower, then. If you're going to get in for the sole purpose of hitting hard, then it's best to hit as hard as you can lol.

 

[Matt-O]

Okay, thanks. You don't happen to have a spare Life Orb do you? I've already got something holding the one that I have.

 

[airconditioning]

I've got a hacked Pearl save, and I'd be happy to trade you anything you need. :)

Can someone tell me why I've been seeing a rise in the use of porygon2 in DP games? Trace aside I don;t see any advantage.

 

[Matt-O]

Thanks, I just need a Life Orb. Do you want anything for it?

I think because of the Trace ability, but I am not 100% sure/

 

[FireApe2135]

It is the trace ability... that is it ...
