Battle with noob: K85W-WWWW-WWW3-NL8X Couple of questionable plays there. Would have made more sense to switch in Jolteon against Skarmory instead of keeping Umbreon in, despite the flinchhax. Also Tyranitar in sandstorm is gonna take very little damage from a non-stab Dazzling Geam, just keep that in mind.

The whole purpose of that Slowbro set is to deliberately troll people and force them to forfeit, it shouldnt be considered serious in any way possible.

good lord, what?

Mega Aggron probably wont be enough to make the OU cut. It has no form of recovery outside of Rest, forcing it to use Sleep Talk as well just to keep up. Even with max SpDef investment, special attacks are still an issue for it, not to mention it also takes away from its massive physical bulk, which can mean the difference between a 2HKO and a 3HKO. Even with max defense investment to tank hits, Mega Aggron's offensive presence becomes severely hampered, so it won't be able to do much back. The best it can do is some kind of Adamant set with max HP and the rest split between its attack and defense, running Dragon Tail, Iron Head/Heavy Slam, Rest, and Sleep Talk, makes for an effective set especially with entry hazards. Not saying MegaAggron isnt any good, it just has its own flaws that hold it back. At best it'll be high UU.

Where are you getting these damage calculations from? +2 Earthquake from MegaKangaskhan is a clear OHKO on MegaLucario: 252(+2) MegaKangaskhan Earthquake vs 0 HP / 0 Def MegaLucario: 472~556 + 243~286 (715~842) (254.45%~299.64%) In other news: Here's the QR code RIP Battle Analyzer, you will NOT be missed.

Theres also Sableye, Cofagrigus, Eviolite Dusclops, Rocky Helmet Ferrothorn, and Rocky Helmet Rough Skin Garchomp, all of which are shaky checks at best and all of which require you to sacrifice the Pokemon every time MegaKangaskhan gets the stat boost. In fact, the mere fact that this thing is forcing people to use Rocky Helmet at all is just plain ridiculous, as Ferrothorn drastically loses its defensive capabilities without Leftovers and Garchomp loses the extra damage from Life Orb, Choice Band, and Garchompinite that makes them both effective Pokemon. Essentially, youre giving up these two Pokemon's capabilities to wall/attack over 10+ Pokemon SOLELY because of MegaKangaskhan. Now compare this to MegaLucario who, as OP and broken as some people claim it is, is much more manageable than MegaKangaskhan. Copypasta from the Guild thread: Yes, MegaLucario does carry the moves necessary to take out all of the Pokemon that check/counter it, but he cannot run all of them at once without sacrificing Close Combat and/or Swords Dance, which makes him much easier to handle in those cases. Also, unlike MegaLucario, MegaKangaskhan is nowhere near as frail and can take a hit or two.

Any MegaKangaskhan user who willingly leaves it in against a full health MegaLucario has no idea how to use MegaKangaskhan properly and is just asking for a loss. Conversely, any MegaLucario user who switches it in against a +2 MegaKangaskhan, let alone anything, hoping to take a resisted hit is also asking for a loss. Lucario is frail even with the Mega evolution and steel typing, which has so far been the only thing holding it back from suffering the same fate as MegaGengar and eventually MegaKangaskhan. The only effective way to switch MegaLucario in is after a KO or through a slower Volt Switch / U-turn user. and how exactly did a MegaKangaskhan get burned by a Flareon when it not only outspeeds Flareon, but also OHKOs with a +2 Return?

Being a single mother of one sure is hard, isnt it?

in 95% of cases, having 6 IVs in all stats is pretty unnecessary (Blissey isn't going to be using physical attacks any time soon). 5 IVs is enough in most cases. You're only giving yourself extra work by aiming for that 1 in 32 chance of an extra max IV, since only a max of 5 IVs can be passed down at any time. Also, plenty of people would be willing to accept stuff with egg moves in exchange for spare dittos. Hell, even Pokemon with 2 or 3 max IV that you get as a side result of breeding are fair game. Only took me about 5 hours max just to get 4 Dittos with the IVs that I needed, and that was starting from scratch.

A 6 IV Ditto isn't necessary at all. A minimum of 3 Dittos with 2 IVs each is more than enough, as long as you have the 5 IVs that you want to pass down. Offer stuff on gts for a level 21-30 Ditto and people will hook you up with a few spares to get you started. After that, its just your Everstone and Destiny Knot and a few round trips back and forth to Kiloude City.

They already disabled Ratings battles in Battle Spot, so they are aware of the issue. And quite honestly, Pokegen has become obsolete considering how easy it is to breed Pokemon with max IVs this gen. The only real uses I can see for it now is for Gen 3-5 legendaries and Pokemon that need Gen 3-5 move tutors.

So for those of you who weren't already aware: http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=217885 Basically an exploit was released a few weeks ago that allows you to set up your PC as a 3DS wifi hotspot and monitor all unencrypted traffic that goes in and out of your 3DS, including what decisions your opponent makes in wifi battles such as switching or what attacks they choose as they make them. Fortunately, some good samaritan has released this little fix to counter it until Nintendo fixes their shit implements wifi encryption into the 3ds: http://gbatemp.net/threads/pokemon-wi-fi-anti-cheat-battle-analyzer-jammer.358632/

All calculations assume MegaLatias with full health with Multiscale active, Scizor with Technician, and Azumarill with Huge Power, both at level 100 with max IVs in all stats. Swords Dance: +2 252+ Atk Scizor Bullet Punch vs 0 HP 0 Def MegaLatias: 202~237 (66.78%~78.74%) +2 252+ Atk Scizor Bullet Punch vs 252 HP 0 Def MegaLatias: 202~237 (55.22%~65.11%) +2 252+ Atk Scizor Bullet Punch vs 252 HP 252 Def MegaLatias: 160~189 (43.96%~51.92%) +2 252+ Atk Scizor Bullet Punch vs 252 HP 252+ Def MegaLatias: 146~172 (40.11%~47.25%) Choice Band 252+ Atk Choice Band Scizor Bullet Punch vs 0 HP 0 Def MegaLatias: 151~178 (50.17%~59.14%) 252+ Atk Choice Band Scizor Bullet Punch vs 252 HP 0 Def MegaLatias: 151~178 (41.48%~48.90%) 252+ Atk Choice Band Scizor Bullet Punch vs 252 HP 252 Def MegaLatias: 120~142 (32.97%~39.01%) 252+ Atk Choice Band Scizor Bullet Punch vs 252 HP 252+ Def MegaLatias: 110~130 (30.22%~35.71%) 252+ Atk Choice Band Azumarill Play Rough vs 0 HP 0 Def MegaLatias: 168~198 (55.81%~65.78%) 252+ Atk Choice Band Azumarill Play Rough vs 252 HP 0 Def MegaLatias: 168-198 (46.15%~54.40%) 252+ Atk Choice Band Azumarill Play Rough vs 252 HP 252 Def MegaLatias: 135~159 (37.09%~43.68%) 252+ Atk Choice Band Azumarill Play Rough vs 252 HP 252+ Def MegaLatias: 122~144 (33.52%~39.56%) Yeah, MegaLatias is still gonna run from Scizor and Azumarill, even with the Multiscale. Still a frightening Pokemon though. EDIT: While I'm at it: 252 SpAtk MegaLatios Draco Meteor vs 252 HP 0 SpDef Multiscale Dragonite: 367~432 (95.08%~111.92%) Guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock 252+ SpAtk MegaLatios Draco Meteor vs 252 HP 0 SpDef Multiscale Dragonite: 404~474 (104.15%~122.80%) Guaranteed OHKO 252 SpAtk MegaLatios Draco Meteor vs 252 HP 252+ SpDef Ferrothorn: 119~140 (33.81%~39.77%) 252+ SpAtk MegaLatios Draco Meteor vs 252 HP 252+ SpDef Ferrothorn: 130~154 (36.93%~43.75%) 252 SpAtk MegaLatios Psyshock vs 252 HP 0 Def Blissey: 1020~1200 (142.86%~168.07%) Guaranteed OHKO 252 SpAtk MegaLatios Draco Meteor vs 252 HP 252+ SpDef Skarmory: 164~194 (49.10%~58.08%) 252 SpAtk MegaLatios Draco Meteor vs 252 HP 252+ SpDef Jellicent: 255~300 (63.12%~74.26%) 252 SpAtk MegaLatios Draco Meteor vs 252 HP 252+ SpDef Tyranitar w/ Sand: 176~208 (43.56%~51.49%) 252 SpAtk MegaLatios Draco Meteor vs 252 HP 252+ SpDef Tyranitar w/ Sand & Assault Vest: 119~190 (29.46%~34.65%) 252 SpAtk MegaLatios Draco Meteor vs 252 HP 0 SpDef MegaTyranitar w/ Sand: 210~248 (51.98%~61.39%)

So Smealum leaked some information regarding MegaLatios and MegaLatias: MegaLatios: Dragon/Psychic w/ Adaptability 80/80/110/180/110/140 MegaLatias: Dragon/Fairy w/ Multiscale 80/80/110/110/180/140 Source: https://twitter.com/Parque_Compi http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/latios-and-latias.3493226/ Holy fucking shit... For the record, Draco Meteor from max investment MegaLatios hits Blissey for 55% damage minimum, and its Psyshock hits x1.1 as hard as MegaMewtwo Y's Psystrike with identical investment.

Aerodactyl's should be in the Ambrette Town Lab. Gyarados's is in Couriway Town just in front of the waterfall.

Kinky...

Thats where EXP All Share comes in

Ha, I completely forgot about the stat boost effect from badges that they removed that from Gen 4 onward. It never showed up in the stats screen so for all intents and purposes I guess everyone just ignored it. With that in mind, in case it hasn't already been mentioned, additional effects from the Pokemon Aime do not affect wifi and link battles. Imagine how broken it would be if every Pokemon had +2 evasion and a 10% chance of activating Sturdy even if its not at full health. Oh and for the record, EV Training with Hordes using Pokerus and Macho Brace is much faster than super training, not taking encounter rates into account (lord knows how many times I encountered a zubat horde when I was trying to EV train HP with Whismur hordes, Super Training ended up being faster in that case), as you gain 20 EVs instead of 12. Weepinbell and Durant hordes further increase that amount to 40.

Since you're asking, yes, Pokerus can spread. Just have the pokemon in your party and battle (you don't have to use the contagious Pokemon in battle). After a few battles, you should start to notice your other party members beginning to become infected. The more contagious Pokemon you have, the faster it spreads. Just keep in mind that after a Pokemon becomes infected with Pokerus, that it will automatically be cured after 1 or 2 days beginning on midnight. It will still gain the effects of Pokerus (double EVs), it just wont be able to infect other Pokemon with it. However, if a contagious Pokemon remains in the PC, it will never cure itself as long as you keep it there, so you can use that to infect more Pokemon at a later time. Oh and for anyone else who doesn't already know, Pokerus DOES stack with Macho Brace and the power items (Pokerus + Macho Brace = x4 EVs instead of x2). Unfortunately, it does not stack with Super Training, just tested it.

I prefer referring to the two pokerus states as "contagious" and "cured", make the most sense imo. Anyway, just got a bunch of max IV dittos from gts, managed to breed myself two near flawless Larvitars in less than 3 hours. Breeding was made so much less time consuming this gen. May end up doing Rotom or Skarmory next.

Talonflame with Gale Wings is an excellent check to MegaGengar and any MegaLucario not running Extremespeed. And Talonflame is better off with a +attack nature anyhow, since its base physical attack is still higher than its sp.atk, as previously mentioned, splitting your EVs between attack and sp.atk is usually a bad idea on most Pokemon. Granted there are exceptions and mixed attackers do exist (Garchomp, Hydreigon, Salamence, and Tyranitar are some examples), Talonflame is unfortunately NOT one of those Pokemon.

Your team has three Pokemon weak to Stealth Rock, 2 of which are hit for 50% on the switch in, and no Rapid Spin support And why Flamethrower over Flare Blitz on Talonflame? Its physical attack is much better, not to mention the base power increase. And no Brave Bird, either? And you didn't specify which Charizard MEvo youre using. Also that Greninja is crying for Dark Pulse over Night Slash. Dunsparce gets Earthquake, so why Drill Run over that? Theres no reason. And Beedrill... wow... At least use X-Scissor for its bug stab over... Twinneedle

It also gets Swords Dance, and the fact that it gets Fire/Flying STAB AND Priority on every single Flying Type move is a huge boon, because it also gives him priority Roost. For example: As for your Charizard comparison, Talonflame and Charizard perform two different roles. Charizard, specifically MegaZard X, is a sweeper, while Talonflame is a revenge killer. Besides, you can always run him as a choice bander with U-turn if you dont like Swords Dance on him. But if your main concern is Stealth Rock, then you'd have to be pretty foolish to run Talonflame without Rapid Spin or Defog support. He may not be top OU like Scizor or Aegislash but he'll be high UU at worst I bet.
