    Ok. Nevermind.

    But I'm still confused as to what your definition of legendary is.

    I've gotten to the point of frustration with catching azelf that I'm gonna use my master ball.
    But since I'm forgoing the normal 30 min fruitless battle I actually want to get a good nature, what nature would be the best for it?

    Have you gotten Uxie? Cause that battle will be pretty similar.

    Then there is Cresselia and Mesprit who are almost as difficult and they run.

    Then there is Giratina, Heatran, and Regigigas.

    I wouldn't use your Masterball. I am saving mine for no reason. If the Nintendo events are online and we get access to Arceus, etc., I am still not using my Masterball.

    I am not sure it is his definition that he is going by, just the accepted definition of the Pokecommunity at large. Though how they came to it, who can say? Nozz did say it was a topic of contention.

    Seems to me that the definition of a legendary is more of an understood sort of thing instead of a set of guidelines and requirements.

    Rotom is not legendary in my mind. It is easy as hell to capture, can breed, and has pretty low stats compared to actual legendaries.

    And it just doesn't seem to fit with a legendary status.

    When IS that Friday, now? Is it the 13th? I think it's the 13th. We'll go with the 13th.

    I just wanted to chime in and mention that Rotom is selectable in PBR's sunset colleseum. It would be silly if the game gave you access to a legendary, uber stats or not.


    I also hate how the foe's rotom is always faster than my own. WTF helping hand ominous wind? OHKO my rotom? BS!

    Okay, seriously need a bit of assistance.

    I trained up a Battle Tower team. They got swept by a Sceptile on #35. The EV training is probably not the best; but, that's done and I don't want to revisit it. And, I'm half way to a Choice item so I can probably give someone a boost there. So, I'm hoping to switch out a move or two...

    Garchomp @ Shell Bell
    Jolly, HP/s.defense
    Dragon Claw
    Crunch
    Earthquake
    Rock Slide

    Medicham @ Life Orb
    Adamant, defense/s.defense
    Psycho Cut
    Ice Punch
    Fire Punch
    Thunder Punch

    Empoleon @ Leftovers (this guy was destroying level 55's at sub 40)
    Modest, 252 HP, 128 defense/128 s.defense
    Substitute
    Aqua Ring
    Surf
    Ice Beam

    I'd say swap Fire Punch for a Fighting move on Medicham....maybe Hi Jump Kick, maybe Brick Break. He yearns for that STABby goodness.

    [EDIT] And...that Garchomp has Special Attack EVs? Why? I think all your guys desperately want EVs in their attack stats, unless I'm misreading your EV descriptions.

    I'd say replace Garchomp's Rock Slide with Fire Fang to punish grass/ice/bronzong, which are your biggest threats.

    Medicham needs Brick Break to take advantage of his Fighting type. I'd say get rid of fire punch.

    Empoleon could use Grass Knot to deal with ground types, namely Garchomp and Rhyperior. With Modest, you might consider giving him choice specs and making him an all-out special attacker, since you're mostly physical on the other two. Which should help if you run into a Skarmory or something.

    Grass Knot's actually inferior to Surf against both those Pokemon. According to Smogon, Grass Knot's max power is 120, while Surf goes up to 137.5 with STAB, no? It is, however, good against Water Pokemon, which the current list has no real move against.

    I just beat the Elite Four and am trying to decide what would be a rad team for kicking the asses of my friends who play

    How do these 3 look?

    Snorlax – w/ Leftovers, Careful nature, ability Thick Fat, EV’s: 252 Sp.Def, 128 HP, 128 Def
    · Curse
    · Rest
    · Sleep Talk
    · Body Slam

    Drifblim – w/ Bright Powder, Timid nature, ability Unburden, EV’s: 252 Speed, 128 Def, 128 Sp.Def
    · Minimize
    · Baton Pass
    · Hypnosis
    · Rest

    Garchomp – w/ Shell Bell, Adamant nature, EV trained in Attack and Speed/HP
    · Sandstorm
    · Earthquake
    · Outrage
    · Fire Fang

    I'm also thinking about a Scizor with Technician, though it seems like the only physical move that will let me take advantage of that is Metal Claw.
