Simple Q&A Thread

Um... you could say that it's like a Hidden Power depending on the berry, but remember, Natural Gift only works once.
 
Just wondering, I've never used the typical MixMence before....

Salamence @ Life Orb
Rash/Mild; 120 Atk/252 SpA/136 Spe
Brick Break
Flamethrower/Fire Blast
Draco Meteor
Roost

....so I wanted to know what it's major role is. Is it something like a late game sweeper designed to play on the weaknesses of pokemon in stats rather than increasing it's own stats in one area, but only late game? Or do you use it mostly like you would a Band or Specs pokemon switching into something that is can KO with it's attacks than switch out on the next pokemon if it can not face it?

Wrong stickie there buddy. XD *Moves over to Simple Q & A*

Yes, the berry will come back for the next battle. You don't need to worry about item loss in the Battle Tower.
 
Quick Question about EV training.

Will putting a pokemon into the daycare, just to level it up, harm its EVs?

Next time, Ace, post here when you want to ask simple questions. ;D *Moved this thread into a post here*

Not at all. I myself tend to leave Pocket Monsters in the Daycare to level it up enough to EV train. So no, the Daycare won't touch effort values.
 
kay thanks! i was trying to find the Q&A thing, but i couldnt find it at all >_<

....where IS the Q&A thread? >_<

found it nvm, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Not really sure if this is an appropriate question, but....

| Gengar | Move | Shadow Ball | 95.3 |

Taken directly from October statistics for Shoddy.

I simply do not know what that 4.7% of people use on their Gengar. Any comments?
 
Well, I've seen some novelty Choice Banders with Shadow Claw...
 
Well, my file got erased and my AR (sav) isn't working for some reason.

So I'm sitting here working on a bunch of new pokemon. and I'm trying to come up with some different stuff to throw together and try out.

Whats a good set for MixVire, and MixMortar. Two great late gamers. and I'm looking to trying them out :)

TY vm :)
 
Hey guys. I'm running a Scarf Magnezone on Shoddy with this:

Magnezone @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 20 HP/236 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Explosion
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Flash Cannon

My team has no real counter for Scizor, who is way too common now that he has Bullet Punch. Would it be a good idea to change Zone's HP to Fire? He loses a bit of help against Ground Types and Dragons, but I have other pokemon to deal with them. And then Magnezone can switch in on Bullet Punch, resist that, trap him, and HP Fire him to death. (Pretty sure I'd still outspeed his Brick Break).

Thoughts?

EV Training Swampert

Hi, I have a Question on EV training Swampert.

I want to give Swampert stats of hp/400 def/250 sp.def/250. I read that you can give up to 64 bonuses in 2 stats, so to fine out if I can do that I went looking for a chart on Swamperts stats. I got my chart from Serebii.net Pokedex (sorry I can't post URL)

So this is where I got messed up. I was thinking that the max possible was including EV training, but it ranges in the 90s, and its way too much of a bonus for EV training, so I was hoping you could help me figure out what the hell is going on, and how I can get the stats I want, if not close to it.

Ps: I'd rather do my Impish Swampert, but I can retrain a new one, oh and sorry my English is horrible.

Thanks in advance

 
Not sure if this is supposed to go in the other threat buttt..

What's the stats of a ursaring with +3 speed and guts with a poison orb? The evs would be 252 atk/252 spe and Jolly or adamant

We need the information of what it's IVs are. Both IVs and EVs make a difference in a Pokemon's nature.

There are preferred EV sets for different movesets of Swampert. Impish goes best with Physical Swampert with the EV spread of 252 HP / 6 Atk / 252 Def. I'm not sure if that's close to what you wanted the stats to be, but it remains as the preferred EV spread if you battle competitively.

By the way, you can only get up to 63 extra stat points through EV training with 252 EV points in a stat. Training it up to 255+ makes no difference, the max is always 63. (252 / 4 = 63)

:D? Do you want me to post its Lv, and stats?

Swampert Lv.42
Impish
EV: 255 def (I lost count but I at least killed 35 with the belt, and drank 10 of them vitamin)
Atk 111
def 126
sp.atk 76
sp.def 90
spd 62

Maybe you could give me a example of a good Swampert?
