I thought it would be interesting to discuss the small differences in plot and character's lines you notice when you compare the same version of a pokémon game in different languages. Here's what gave me the idea. Ever since I started learning German back in 2011 I've been playing pokémon...

Hi! I've been breeding a lot lately and got some great HP Pokémon and even some shinies, and since I'm able to clone I decided to make a trade thread. There are some pokémon with bank exclusive moves as well. . Y: FC: 2208 5697 2428 IGN: Pierre . No hacks, obviously. . Only egg or bank...

Welcome! I’ve been trading a lot lately and figured it won’t be a bad idea to get a trade thread instead of having to copy and paste the list of pokemon I have every five minutes. So here it is. RELEVANT INFORMATION . Obviously no hacked stuff . I have nothing against cloning, but I often...

Welcome! After a long break in competitive battling, I'm back and hoping to do some trades. I know I'm not an outstanding breeder, but I'm confident I can get some good deals. So please, scroll down! Rules: 1. It goes without a saying that I don't trade anything hacked and I expect you...

Yes, I could post this on Simples Questions/Answers Thread, however, I'd like people to post multiple opinions and experiences, so I decided to post it as a thread. May an admin think it was an uncorrect idea, feel free to close it. You play 3vs3 mostly on PBR's Wi-Fi. When using powerful...

Now that Garchomp is uber, is HP Ice really necessary on MixedKen? My point is pretty simple. You can harm Nite/Mence/Dos with SE, maybe OHKO if SR is active, so wouldn't HP Grass be a better option? If the dragon threats are somewhat handled by Stone Edge, I think surprising Pert is more...

Hello, it's me again, making a discussion about a poison-type pokemon again, using a weird title to call your attention. Again. The pogey this time is Crobat, and I was wondering if a little sturdier spread, leftovers and Roost couldn't make the bat somewhat a tankish special sweeper. After...

Despite the thread title, my goal here is to discuss if a defensive Weezing made to physical walling can afford the loss of WoW and STAB for a better coverage, here what I suggest: Weezing @leftovers 252 HP, 252 Def, 6 Sp.Atk - Flamethrower - Thunderbolt - Hidden Power Ice - Pain Split Now...

I had a look at Pokemon XD exclusive moves list and I decided to make a list of what exclusive moves are competitively usable. Here we go. Poochyena: Heal Bell There aren't a lot of Heal Bellers on UU, so an Intimidate one could work. Mareep: Heal Bell Another possible UU Heal Beller. It's a...

This isn't exactly a D/P subject, but as I'm willing to restart my Pokemon XD in order to catch some competitive pokemon, I'd like to know if there's some trainer we can use to EV train some stat, because I want to make an enjoyable adventure instead of a "lemme just catch'em" adventure. As...

I decided to run some calculations to see how well can Empoleon wall Starmie and the results were surprised. Are they right? - I used the Metal Kid calculator linked to the D/P resource thread. - I considered Grass Knot Power BP on Starmie 80, as stated on the Grass Knot Reference Thread. -...

When I was looking at Salamence's analysis, I noticed a Mixed set similar to a set I once sucessfully used on my team. But mine's a little different. Check it out. Salamence @Life Orb Hasty/Naive nature 307 Spd, Max Sp.Atk, leftovers in Atk - Draco Meteor - Flamethrower - Brick Break - Crunch...

I heard Action Replay can EV train pokemon, and I was wondering if that would be legal. I mean, I don't care about EV training, but I have over ten pogeys that I need to EV train to participate on local battles with my friends (theme team stuff, not that bunch of standards all of us already...

Do you think OU pre-evolutions (like Kadabra, Haunter, Sneasel) should be allowed on UU play? I don't think so, mainly because it makes UU kinda a pseudo-OU, where people are allowed to use weaker OU instead of trying something new. I'm not sure if Smogon's tier says something about this...

I heard we can change pokemon nicknames (from pokemon I'm not the OT, obviously) using an AR. Is that true? Does it change the pokemon data? Is it legal? Can cloning with AR screw your pokemon, or somehow change it's data or offspring code? I was gonna post it on "quick answer" thread, but I...

READ THE COMMENTARIES BEFORE VOTING When you vote, please, post on the thread your reasons. I made a thread to discuss about Moltres Hidden Power. Now I'd like to know what does the community think about it. Please read the arguments before voting. If you want to see the whole discussion...

This thread is closed. Here's the new discussion thread link, vote and discuss there, and please, if you vote, explain your point of view. http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30185 I was wondering about which HP (Hidden Power) type would be the best for a Moltres. We have 6...

I checked on Porygon-Z's analysis, that the standard set for a Nasty Plot sweeper is: Nasty Plot Tri Attack Dark Pulse Ice Beam/HP Fighting When you see hoe useful IB is and how difficult it is to get a good HP, we can assume Ice Beam will be the standard. But hey: A normal/Dark/Ice can't...

I was wondering if Early Bird could be an acceptable trait for Houndoom. Since it's not the standard, you can catch people off guard, in example, switch on Gengar's hypnosis, and while it switches to a Physical sweeper, I use WoW, wake up and burn the sweeper. Or I can switch on Breloom's...

Man, I'm surprised. I was training my Cresselia on the Pokemon League, it's on lvl 51, and when I was battling Bertha, it WASN'T ABLE TO 2KO QUAGSIRE AND GOLEM WITH AN ENERGY BALL!!!! And a Critical Hit energy Ball did only about 45% on Sudowoodo, A SUPER EFFECTIVE CRITICAL HIT!!!! After...
