Bounce. Gyarados' dual STABs get pretty nice coverage, and Bounce lets it not only destrolish Chesnaught & Keldeo, but also get an extra turn of Leftovers recovery.

I'd like to request my name be changed to: WaveBomber This would be for the uniformity of my online identity across several websites, as I've determined recently that "Rukario-kun" is weeby to the point of turning off or confusing a large portion of the English-speaking Internet, which I...

Ah! Jolly Gyarados! That makes sense. After all that looking through common Speed stats to figure it out on my own, I can't believe I missed that one, my bad. Thanks for the expanded advice, too! :)

Pardon my inquiry, AM, but what's the purpose of running 224 Speed EVs on the Heracross in your submitted core? Surely running either max Speed to tie with opposing pre-Mega Heracross or a few EVs fewer to just beat neutral base 90s would be more optimal, would it not? Or am I missing something...

I'd like to go a step further and point out to Timid_Metagross that Defog + Defiant on Empleon is illegal. Defog is a Gen IV HM-only move, and Defiant is a Hidden Ability that wasn't introduced until Gen V. There's literally no choice but Torrent.

That is indeed how Magic Bounce VS Magic Bounce functions. Switched my un-Mega'd Trace Gardevoir into a Mega Sableye in a WiFi battle the other day and ended up Burned that turn regardless. So yeah, Mega Absol cannot stop Mega Sableye.

I dunno about a list of Egg Groups and their contents. This is supposed to be a Quickstart Guide, so I think such a large and exhaustive database is best left to Serebii and Bulbapedia. It's not like Egg Groups have changed between XY and ORAS. They don't need to be noted like the locations of...

Actually, Ice Punch Blaziken was a mistake on the part of the Japanese Pokémon site, for which they apologized. Ice Punch is definitely a move available to tutor to other Pokémon, though, as Stellar has listed. On topic, I second including, or at least linking to another thread with, a list of...

TM Number: 80 Move Name: Rock Slide General Location: Route 134 Specific Location: At the center of a spiral maze, directly west of the Sealed Chamber's Dive spot.

Yes, Groudon and Kyogre will respawn in the Cave of Origin after you've defeated the Elite Four.

Instances of Silk Scarf should be Shed Shell. Alliteration!

(ctrl+f Beedrill) Nope, Drill Run and Knock Off are its only notable tutor moves. And I agree with ChristovaOnIce, another thread in which to discuss new/tutor moves in general seems appropriate.

But Diggersby does.

No. Look again.

Nope, no Knock Off Greninja. :( But hey, at least I don't need to PokeGen in BW2 for Knock Off Scizor anymore! :D

...Or it can come in after a slow VoltTurn / something else dies / on Earthquake. Let's not forget that Mega Pinsir has 155 Atk while Mega Salamence has 145.

You're late to the party, sport. All this information is already posted in and originates from an adjacent thread about which we've been discussing the the last couple of hours: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/oras-research-thread.3519780/

In! Rukariokun 3239-2888-3302

Pardon my insolence as an unofficial, but in team options: Can't have a Mega Pokémon backing up another Mega Pokémon. Also "Keldeo" thrice in one sentence is begging for a pronoun substitute, provided the pronoun doesn't introduce confusion.

Depending on how big these boosts to Mega Sableye's Defense and Special Attack are, and whether or not its Special Defense is buffed, it might be able to run an effective boosting tank set along these lines: Sableye @ Sablite Ability: Prankster (Magic Bounce) EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 SDef |...
