    Hot damn, 2 Victories for this team. I hit gold when I assembled it in Ru/Sa.

    Great Battle shoe.

    I assumed that Garchomp was gonna Substitute and then use some Rock attack.
    But errors in my favor are always nice.

    I imagine people stop using them when they notice how much of a pain in the ass it is to switch pokemon with them.

    Would Guard Swap be a useful thing for an Alakazam to have? They've got next to no Defense and worse than average Special Defense, so most anything would be an improvement, but is it worth giving up a move slot and the turn it takes to use it?

    You can trade me crap for these. I don't really care. I'd like female Combees with natures that take away from SPEC ATK but that's not necessary. Just seeing if anybody needs any of this.

    AWESOME

    Oh man, I'd love a Lickitung and Cyndaquil.

    I just try and add to the Pokemons sprite a little bit.
    A few Puffs of White Smoke when Torkoal appears. White Confetti simulating snow when and Ice type appears. Just a few little touches.

    Or just spell out FUCK and YOU when you send out Tyranitar and Salamence. I'm surprised I haven't seen that more often. Maybe I should take a few battle challenges at GameFAQs.

    Crobat has a - Speed nature! Why? Cause I made this team long before there was any chance of battling another person. And I was to lazy to breed for the right natures.
    Flygon has a Sp. Atk + nature, cause Dragon Attacks were all Special.
    But this team has done well despite all that.

    and also, I wish Synchronize passed on the Sleep status. Damn shame that it doesn't.

    On EV training:

    for a wall, what's better, all defense(s), all HP+one defense, or split 3 ways? Attacking stats arn't a concert in this case.

    If you give the wall a defense buffing move, put the EVs and nature into the other kind of defense and HP. If it doesn't have a buffing move, I'm not sure. All my tanks seem to end up like 252 HP/128 Def./130 Sp.Def., not really a great strategy I think.

    Interesting note about that Dry Skin ability: We all know it absorbs water attacks and adds another level of weakness to fire, and that it reduces your HP each turn in bright sun, and restores it in rain, right? Well I was suprised to note that the HP gain in rain is actually 1/8 per turn, not 1/16 like leftovers or ingrain or etc. Haven't tested sunny day yet, but I expect it will do 1/8 damage each turn as well.

    Yeah, but damn Torkoal wouldn't wake up once it hit, and then I was dumb enough to leave Gardevoir out when I had even read the post that gave your Toxicroak whole moveset.

    Would Sucker Punch still work if I had used Will-O-Wisp?
    I thought I had read that Sunny Day just lowers the total HP of a Dry Skin pokemon. Not that it dealt damage each turn. But I wouldn't really know either.
    Actually, I thought Dry Skin only absorbs water in the Rain, cause I had fought Crogunks in the game that didn't have Anticipate and I managed to damage them with Water Attacks. So I have a lot of questions about that ability.

    He'll be cursing, but his defense IV is at most 19 (he has a +def nature and near perfect hp/spDef IVs, and I'm lazy)

    Hmm, this is a tough decision... leave his physical defense up to curse, or give it some cushion at the cost of hp or a wicked high spDef..

    So guys, what pokemon can be found in the wild (in grass) in Diamond that has an awesome shiny? Exclude Swarm pokemon. I have the options of inserting Emerald, Sapphire, or Fire Red in the GBA slot.

    Currently I'm thinking about hunting for Bronzors and Ponytas. I'd love to go hunt Sneasel and Ursaring, but the hail is really annoying.

    the hail can be easily dealt with if you use an ice pokemon (coughweavile) as your false swiper.
