I believe that Block and Mean Look only stops switching out by ordinary means (the trainer calls his/her Pokemon back). Also goes for Wynaut's Shadow Tag ability. I've tried this before.

Heh, you forgot Trapinch's Arena Trap.

Heh, you forgot Trapinch's Arena Trap.

Ya finally got me, but I was only listing a few examples. Spider Web comes to mind on a Mean Look move.

Jordan is right. My Jolteon has escaped a Dugtrio through the means of Baton Pass.

Are you sure it wasn't a Sand Veiling Dugtrio?

I should really stop trying to disprove my own point.

[DayDreamer]

That's right. Rather, you should just EV train, & level up so they can learn the proper moves.

Awesomeness. Now I can put all my Pokemon in the pc and start a new team.

It was the typical Choice Band trapping Dugtrio.

^ Laugh out loud indeed. Also, the instant lvl. 100 thing is a great way of recording your Pokemon stats and check for IV's. Pop in several baby Pokemon and record stats. These battles are referred to as IV battles.

Level up a Shroomish (not a Breloom) to level 54 (FR/LG,R/S/E) or 45 (D/P). People usually breed a male Pokemon in the same egg group that knows Spore with a female Shroomish that knows Spore to get a baby Shroomish that knows Spore. This way, you can evolve Shroomish into Breloom at level 23 without hesitation.

Passing stats effects, such as: Agility, Nasty Plot, Swords Dance, etc. Baton Passers are also known as "Bp'ers".

 

[Jordan]

..and they all know the move Baton Pass. Usually, they are very quick or have high defenses. Baton Pass can also be used to get out of situations like Mean Look, Block,...etc.

Example 1: Ninjask (Speed Boost raises speed after everyturn)

Turn 1:
Ninjask used Protect
Ninjask protected itself from the foe's Fire Blast
Ninjask's Speed was raised by Speed Boost
Turn 2:
Ninjask used Baton Pass
Trainer sent in Metagross wtih Speed raised by one level.

Example 2:
Turn 1
Gliscor used Sword Dance, Attack Sharply Raised
Foe used Fire Fang, Gliscor survived
Turn 2
Gliscor used Baton Pass
Player sent in Heracross with Attack Sharply raised.

Or Vaporeon.

Example #2: Vaporeon Used Substitute, The opponent used (Instert move here). The Substitute took damage for Vaporeon. especially it has max hp, (404). Vaporeon used Baton pass.

1. How many stages does the Salace Berry raise your Speed?

2. If my Pokemon held a Life Orb at 317 Attack, would 412 be it's new attack?

 

[Jordan]

1. How many stages does the Salac Berry raise your Speed?

A single stage

2. If my Pokemon held a Life Orb at 317 Attack, would 412 be it's new attack?

Yep, so long as it still hold a Life Orb. (It could be 413 though, since some stat values always round up when in decimal, although it wouldn't make much of a difference).

What is a good nature for a Mothim?

 

[Sr E]

I remember reading somewhere that it was best to begin EV training at level 100. However, I doubt this is true, so, what is a good level to begin EV training?

 

[Anti]

EV training at level 100? Yeah, NEVER believe stuff like that. Start EV training right away, ALWAYS, or your poke will have unwanted EVs.
