RE: The Questions and Answers Thread (All generations, excluding 5th)
I mean that if you have any leftover EVs, it's usually better to dump them all into HP than to try and evenly dump them into both Defenses. You cover your bases more that way.
RE: The Questions and Answers Thread (All generations, excluding 5th)
It's a very helpful summary of these moves, thx! I'll rethink of the fourth move for my Gardevoir. My last gardevoir had the following set:
Pychic
Thunderbolt
Destiny Bond
Charm
Timid nature
I'm about to prepare a new one, and maybe i'll give it WOW instead.
Thank you guys too. I've tried to train 1 poke by now with focusing on its HP, and i'm really not complaining about the results
It's a Lgednaries-Hunter Alakazam with 31 IV at HP, Timid nature, and the EV points were divided to Speed and Hp. I equipped it with this set:
[Item: Twistedspoon]
Psychic
Thunder Wave
Encore
Disable
On the first turn I paralyze my rival, and then I land a Psychic on it. Then, if it uses undamaging moves like Reflect and Agility for example, I encore it, and then I get free turns to try and capture it [and if not, I just try to disable the last damaging moves]. The Alakazam has the Sync ability so it encourages the future captured poke to be in that nature and it's cool.
Anyways, another qs...
If I equip a Sync poke with the Flame Orb, when it becomes burnt, will the opponet be burnt too? Or it must be caused directly from the opponet's moves if I want it to be burnt?
I have some active POKERUS pokes, and I tried today to spread it out to some healthy pokes to send it away to a friend of mine. I've been walking for a decent time with an infected poke, and it didn't work. I thought maybe its illness is wrong, so I took another one that had been inflicted by the virus before it, and it still didn't pass on. Why is this? I also tried to do it outdoors the cities, in the open routes..

RE: The Questions and Answers Thread (All generations, excluding 5th)
1) the status condition needs to come directly from the opposing Pokemon
2) PokeRus gets spread randomly when just walking around, but healing your team at a Pokemon Center seems to spread the virus more often than just walking

RE: The Questions and Answers Thread (All generations, excluding 5th)
Actually, I'm pretty sure Pokerus gets spread when you go into a battle. There's a 1/3 chance it will spread to other members of the party after each battle, iirc.
I'm not sure of the exact number; it might be lower. But battling does spread it around.

RE: The Questions and Answers Thread (All generations, excluding 5th)
No specific method. Some older guides might tell you to battle wild Pokemon on a certain route. But to my knowledge, this doesn't affect the odds. By a vastly amount of farness, the best way to catch Pokerus is to trade for a Pokemon with it.

RE: The Questions and Answers Thread (All generations, excluding 5th)
You can get Pokerus normally by battling a wild Pokemon and hoping for the best. HOWEVER, the odds of getting it that way are 3 in 65536 (just over twice as rare as finding a shiny Pokemon, which is 8 in 65536), and there's no way to tell if a Pokemon has it, so a lot of it is luck. For some odd reason though I've found it was somewhat easy for me to get Pokerus in HGSS but I think that was just me.
I can trade you something with Pokerus if you want (just drop me a PM if you're interested).

RE: The Questions and Answers Thread (All generations, excluding 5th)
Batteling with whom? The one who has it?
Thx guys.
Listen guys, here's my Eevee [that soon will become a Flareon for a NU team]. Its frame and set:
[Adamant/31IV for ATK/its average of IVs spread is RELATIVELY SUPERIOR/252 pts for ATK, 252 for HP, 4 for SPEED]
Quick Attack
Charm
Yawn
Fake Tears
Actually the very first plan for its final set had been Fire Fang, Quick Attack, Charm/Yawn, and maybe Superpower
Now since it has also inherited Fake Tears via the breeding, i'm considering giving it to it as an additional move instead of some others..? The thing is that I don't know who will be included in this party aside from Vileplume. Anyways, I want some help with it. Since it's Eevee now, I can recover its Baton Pass and maybe use it for its Final set, or even choose Flareon's Scary Face instead of another move?
Fire Fang and Q. Attack - I want them both to be a part of his set for sure, about the others I need your help! The options are:
Charm, Yawn, Superpower, Baton Pass, Fake Tears, Last Resort

RE: The Questions and Answers Thread (All generations, excluding 5th)
Have the Pokemon with Pokerus in your party. Then just battle with anybody (not just the Pokerus user). It will have a chance of spreading.
Flareon has such a terribly small movepool that the only reasonable movepool it can use is Flame Charge/Return/Superpower/Yawn >_<

RE: The Questions and Answers Thread (All generations, excluding 5th)
Why using Return? It can't do a neutral damage to the types that Flareon's stab is weak against.
Any other advices please..?

RE: The Questions and Answers Thread (All generations, excluding 5th)
That's why I thought of giving it non-damaging moves like FAKE TEARS and so on. Aren't these good poissibilities?
If i'd like to make a moves-passer Smeargle, which way is the best for tutoring it the wished moves?

RE: The Questions and Answers Thread (All generations, excluding 5th)
Not only are stat lowering moves in general awful, stat-lowering moves that lower a stat that you can't even make use of unless you switch out are useless. Basically, if you want to run Flareon competitively, don't. Not even in NU. Its that bad.

2) Flareon's special movepool is virtually non-existent
As for Smeargle?
Go into a place where you can fight Double Battles against trainers - in DPPt you can go to Valor Restaurant; in HGSS I believe there are some trainers that will rematch you. Send out Smeargle, and have (as a partner) a Pokemon with a move you want Smeargle to learn. Make sure the partner is faster, if possible.
Have the partner use that move, then use Sketch and target that Pokemon.

With toxic+leech seed in Gen 1, if you get rid of poison does the leech seed go back to normal damage? Also if you switch out and it becomes normal poison?

If I copy a move or more by Smeargle in a Double Battle at the Battle Tower, will it be remained afterwards?
