Man. Identity Crisis and I just had a LEGENDARY BATTLE. All Level 100 Pokemon.
He opened with a Crobat against my Breloom, which was a bad, bad omen for me. Things got worse from there. I switched out to Dusclops. I Will-O-Wisped his Crobat and it hit me with Toxic. I Mean Look'd the Crobat and we traded blows until they both collapsed simultaneously. I then threw out Milotic against his Salamence. It was pretty harsh and began dealing sizable chunks of damage. After the Salamence Dragon Danced, I had a bad feeling and switched over to Gardevoir, which was OHKO'd. Then my Meganium was critical'd before I could set up my defenses. My Weezing was similarly dispatched before it could land a successful Will-O-Wisp or Haze. Breloom came back out and took a huge hit before putting the Salamence to sleep. Forced into switching, I.C. tossed Charizard out and it immediately took a heavy Focus Punch from Breloom. I brought Milotic back in and finished off the Charizard with a couple Water Pulses. Skarmory was next for I.C. I kept healing and Water Pulsing. Skamory's couldn't keep Milotic poisoned thanks to Refresh, and I got a lucky confusion effect with a Water Pulse, which spelled the end for Skarmory. I.C. then sent Flygon out, and I sensed a theme. It dealt some hefty Earthquake damage but I was able to heal successively and landed a critical Water Pulse with another confusion bonus. Flygon fell. He tossed the sleeping Salamence out, hoping it'd awaken and finish me, but that didn't happen. Then he brought out an Aerodactyl, which I knew was trouble. It Double-Edged and Stone Edged me a bit. I had to spend a lot of turns just Recovering. But I got in another Water Pulse and it, too, added confusion. I took a risk by attacking instead of healing, estimating that a normal Stone Edge wouldn't be quite enough to kill my Milotic, whereas my Water Pulse could finish him off. But if I.C. got a critical, which Stone Edge is known for, I'd be done. My Breloom wouldn't be fast enough to do anything. My Milotic clung to 17 life and retaliated with a lethal attack, killing off Identity's last Pokemon. But Good Lord, was it intense. A come from behind victory like that is rare. I.C. has a Salamence from Hell, and I was lucky enough to apparently have a Milotic from the same dark place. I wish you could record battles. That'd be a keeper. Most amazing jew boots  |

Man that sounds awesome Crash. I should probably stop complaining and start training. Right now I'm 100% focused on Pokémon Conneciton Tour though.
Acutally I might share a few movesets I'm aiming for with Gamingforce. First up i should explain the metagame, it's level 50 only and übers are out. And it's not the one where you Pokémon get teleported to level 50 but level 50 MAX. So Dragonite and Tyranitar are out. For some reason the legendary trios haven't been ruled out, nor has fucking Latios and Latias but I'm betting they'll be removed at a later date. Also, 3 on 3 battles with a ten minute limit which puts the squeeze on stalling and tank tactics. So far the only two Pokémon that I've finalised and in the process of training in my team are Crobat Jolly Natured Confuse Ray Hypnosis U-Turn Haze havent decided on an item but in all likelyhood I'll just use silver power or bright powder. Or Black Sludge. Most liekly this'll be my opener unless I see my opponent has a psychic heavy team. His strategy will be simple enough, confuse, hypnotise and then U Turn to get the fuck away from the psychic/electric/rock pokémon they will almost certainly switch in. Hopefully it'll be a psychic one because U-Turn will be an excellent surprise for them. Haze is there incase he makes a re-appearance to nullify some tank or curselax or whatever. Gengar Modest Natured Hynosis Nightmare Shadow Ball Dream Eater I'll equip it with that special boosting item or maybe Big Root. Also i have to hold it's evolution to level 43 so that it learns Nightmare before level 50. there arn't any sleep clauses, and I hate those anyway so dont be surprised if I put anotehr sleeper into this team later. Nightmare can be fantastic when used on a Blissey, as it's the only ghost move that hits normal type and takes off 25% of their health everyturn. It's relying on luck but I like to take my chances. Arcanine Neutral Nature Sunny Day SolarBeam Flareblitz Extremespeed Here's the sweeper. Mixed sweeper cos 3 v 3 rules. Might give him Charcoal and get a Flash Fire one for MASSIVE DAMAGE, (regardless of their weakspot.) What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |

So every time I sent out a new pokemon about ten to twenty percent of their HP was knocked off. Still it sounded like you two had a great match. Oh and Crash, I'm up for a lv.100 battle if you got time!  Jam it back in, in the dark. |

EDIT: Here's some movelists for comparison: Lv. 50 Skarmory w/Leftovers Stealth Rock Spikes Whirlwind Fly Lv. 100 Skarmory w/Leftovers Toxic Sandstorm Fly Roost I was also half-expecting an Ice Beam the entire time Crash had brought his Milotic out. I wasn't quite expecting Water Pulse to own my entire team just as badly (or, heck, worse )!There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ohh I see.
Hmm I suppose I should level up my team to 100 first. I assume playing on the preset modes (lv.50 or lv.100) will remove any IV stats you gained. Right? This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

I have no idea about the level caps in the matches. I keep hearing that they erase all your IV's, they cut your IV's in half, they leave your IV's alone, etc. In any of the above cases, it's probably a best bet if all high level battling is done in the Free Battle Room. (Aside: Do you want your Yache Berries, by the way?
 )I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

In my quest to get a Buizel cell strap, I snagged two Manaphy's. If you guys don't mind waiting a bit (need a Buizel first), I can sell them for 2 bucks US, That should cover shipping. Any takers? Image is below:

There seems to be a bit of a water theme going there, but even if you count Pikachu for having Surf, what the hell is Chatot doing in there?

Good question. I have no clue.
Anyway, I'll probably end up getting a few more non-Buizels too before I get one, so those will also be for sale. Wheee... Oh, and I might as well add that I prefer Paypal, and you don't actually pay me until I can send it out. You'll just be put 'on a list.' What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Looks more like it's something for the 9th movie (yes, they are STILL making the Pokemon movie; movie 10th coming out in Japan next month!). XP

Could someone rate these sets for me?
Also looking for good movesets/natures/ev spreads/hold items for:
but I don't know what to choose. I also need good EV spreads.
and again, I didn't know what to use, or a good EV spread.
They're all missing natures, and two of them are missing EV spreads, so again, I apologize. Mostly, I see builds of Gengar with Energy Ball/HP Ice/Focus Blast/Substitute, Shadow Ball, Hypnosis, with the final move ranging from the elemental punches (Fire, Ice, Thunder), Substitute, Thunderbolt, HP ___ (element), or Giga Drain. It seems this guy is very versitile. For my request, I'm looking for the natures I should be using, along with EV spreads on the other two. I remember seeing something about being able to use a Hasty nature on a Gengar...
And anything else you can think of, in terms of what good builds are. Thank you!
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It is. Some of those I made before the game came out to the states, I'm sorry.
*edit* also, does anybody know if there's an HP type for "Normal"? Most amazing jew boots

Unless they're now allowing Rest to work while your Pokemon is already asleep, then I'd go with a totally different moveset.
I'd also recommend breeding Aerial Ace. It'll do some strong damage to most Fighting or Bug types, which are Weavile's biggest foes. By all rights, a Heracross should own a Weavile, but a Weavile who knows Aerial Ace is gonna win that fight 90% of the time. Swords Dance is okay, but not always needed. It's not like Weavile doesn't already have a ludicrous attack stat. What with Weavile's poor defenses, I'm not certain you can always waste a turn powering up. Better to pass some attack power. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |

Well, the Sleeptalking Milotis is used because of it's pokemon ability, and no, you can't use the move if you're already asleep, but you can use sleeptalk. With the Ice beam and surf, you're already getting STAB damage, and then with the 1.5x going into defense from Milotic's ability...
You've got a pretty strong killer. Blade Test... just ignore that one. I was making some of these before the games came out to america, so I was basing some of them off of some people's translations and such.. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Its not really the battle tower that does it. Its just something thats in the game to say pretty much.
The difference between a level 50 cap and a level 100 cap is that EVs and IVs only matter half as much as level 100. You want a level 100 cap if you breeded for IVs and EV trained your pokemon You want a level 50 cap if you have no idea what I just said. I don't think its really good explaination but I think the EV and IV calc thing I posted also has explaination within it also. Back in my older post or just look here. http://www.legendarypokemon.net/training#adv There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, it's just news to me. I've been using that calculator for stat purposes... I'll have to check this out.
Had fun battling Elixir last night (even though his FC changed..?) I can see why he was angry though, if what you say is true. I did EV train all the pokes in my team when I battled him, and if what you say is true, then I can guess you can say it was a slaughter.. The reason why I started to play was to have fun with people, and instead, everybody I did get to play (this was way back when R/B/Y was out) I got beaten, badly. And this was why. So, through the years, whenever someone asked to play me, I would decline. Well, Pearl and Diamond come out, with online battling, and I'm like "Maybe I should play again" but this time, I decided to learn. So I decided to study how people got their pokemon to be so powerful, and stumbled upon EV and IV training, Hidden Power movetypes, etc. And here I am. Is EV training pokemon really disliked around here? Most amazing jew boots

"Blade Test" was the original translation of Night Slash before the official translations came out. It gets STAB bonus so it's okay.
EV/IV Training I guess would be frowned upon by those who don't have enough time or don't want to bother doing it. I don't battle so it doesn't matter to me either way, but I wouldn't necessarily care about EV training since I can do it too if need be. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |

ok, I'll have to make a note about the translation. Thanks again, Lacerta. You've been a big help for me.
