Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 14

[Shelcario]

Yeah, Agiligross would probably be better as he doesn't have that great of a speed stat thanks to his poor speed IV.

 

[DDRMaster]

That Agiligross would need 188 Spe EV's to reach 202, not 104. You should just go with the Choice Band set and go with 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def. Unless you want to put 8 EV's in speed to outspeed 0 speed Swampert.

Edit:

If a pokemon has Simple, will they receve double the boosts if the boosts are Baton Passed?

The boosts receiced from Baton Pass are not affected by Simple.

Does Timid or Modest 252 Spe Starmie outspeed the LO Gyara Set after 1 DD?

 

[CardsOfTheHeart]

Does Timid or Modest 252 Spe Starmie outspeed the LO Gyara Set after 1 DD?

Adamant 184 Gyarados after 1 DD - 244 * 1.5 = 366

Timid 252 Starmie - 361

Moest 252 Starmie - 329

Neither of them do.

With damage calcs, how is it calculated exactly?

Say a STAB earthquake
is:
100*1.5=150

But is CB STAB earthquake
100*1.5= 150*1.5= 225

or in some weird way
100*1.5*1.5= 200
(I thought it was this as it's a 50% increase twice but not really a multiplier)

(excuse the spelling)

 

[Shelcario]

Well lets look at this, so we take Earthquakes' base power which is 100 and then factor in STAB which boosts the damage by 1.5 and then Choice bands' damage increase by 1.5 so yeah I think you did it correctly.

For UU probably. Sorry for the double post:(

What happens when you pass a Sub to Shedinja?

 

[HotPocket]

The sub has Shedinja's Defense and Sp. Defense, but the previous pokemon's HP

The sub is still protected by wonderguard

 

[gorm]

thats why you should ALWAYS use those last 4 points for sdef hEH

 

[Shelcario]

Could someone tell me where I could possibly buy everything related to getting Wi-Fi?

 

[Cipher Admin Lovrina]

What could work for a Neverused "Cruel Beauty" Theme Team...

I was thinking
Mawile, but what else?

 

[GatitoNeku]

10% of Skarmory's combined HP and Def (65+140 = 205) is 20.5, Hippowdon's combined HP and Def is 226, so adding the extra 10% from Skarmory makes it 225.5, near enough 10%.

thanks for thiis, but does that mean blissey's overall defenses is higher than skarm or hippo?(10+255=265)

Do you mean pokemon that are so ugly that they're beautiful and are from the NU tier?

 

[Cipher Admin Lovrina]

Something along those lines--Pokemon that obviously appear feminine in some way, but horribly deformed or scary... From NU.

 

[Shelcario]

What about Sunflora?

EDIT: Arbok?

 

[Cipher Admin Lovrina]

Arbok would be cool, but I don't need a big ground weakness...
Any water type suggestions?

 

[Shelcario]

Whiscash is the only NU water type, unless you count Castform after Rain Dance.

 

[Peanut-Lover]

Shelcario - 2 things...

1.) Simple is affected by bp, but only until the 3rd boost. So, if 2 acid armors were passed, he'd have a +6 stat, as opposed to +8

2.) WiFi - answer a few questions please.
a.) Do you have a high speed internet, like cable or Fios?
b.) would you like to set up a wireless router for all computers, or just for the ds?
c.) Do you trust ebay? Do you trust online shopping? Do you have any stores near you that deal in electronics, or a wide-variety store?

seaking

 

[Shelcario]

Oh yeah forgot about Seaking:(

@PeanutLover: 1. I have Embarq internet which I think is pretty fast.

2.Set up wireless router for just DS.

3. Yes I trust online shopping.

 

[Cipher Admin Lovrina]

What about Lumineon?

 

[Shelcario]

Corsola and Luvdisc are on there too, but whatever you want, I've never even seen Lumineon in competitive action.
