is this a glitch? heres what happen, (POKEMON platinum version)
i was watching a ton of youtube videos on how to get shiney pokemon, like, a ton. and when i was finaly going to get one (shiney buneary in eterna forest) i just ran into a shiney budew, no tricks, no pokeradar, just wild pokemon battle, so i caught it in a dusk ball and decided to call it a day.
ok, so atleast 1-2 months later i was ev training a gastly, and i had 42 spa evs at level 16, but then, i went to check my ivs in serebii iv calculator, and i noticed the gastly had 5 spa ivs and i'm like -_- so i release it and check the ivs of my 2 other gastly, deciding witch to ev train, and i chose modest 15 spa gastly, ok not important. but then before i even left the box, i went to my special pokemon box, (legendairys, shineys, events). and i looked at my shiney budew, but heres the good part!!!
you know how when your in the box, and you just move over a pokemon, and it shows them facing the way they do if you were fighting it, not from the back? well i looked at my budew and it was that way, BUT THEN! i clicked summary and what do ya know! it was still facing that way! crazy!
i know this isn't a short post, but its still a simple question.
i really don't want a glitch shiney, please help.
This is for Generation 1. I was just wondering what is a good moveset for a Pikachu/Raichu, besides what Smogon has. I mean do I really need Thunder Wave on Pikachu/Raichu? Can I use Agility instead? I know Thunder(bolt), is needed for a STAB, and Surf for Ground types. Body Slam, Mega Kick, or Seismic Toss. are needed to do damage to other things that resist Ground/Water/Flying. So I was thinking
Agility
Thunder(bolt)
Surf
Submission / Seismic Toss / Body Slam / Double-Edge?
good, but personaly i wouldn't go with agility, but what smogon has it there for is, well since raichu has good speed, he can get to the foe, and chance them not attacking with thunder wave first, so, if you really don't want thunder wave on raichu, then just ditch t-wave and agility all together, raichus fast enough.
now i'm not used to gen 1, but if he can, teach raichu one of these instead,
grass knot,
fake out,
hidden power (fire, dark whatever you want)
i know he can learn at least 1 of those, probably hidden power.
but seismic toss is the best option on a spa raichu, making sure its atleast 100 damage, if your going with competetive, lv 100.
maybe this didn't help, but i havn't used raichu that much, i do better with sinnoh pokemon.
Alright thanks. Also, another simple question for a simple answer. Can Sand Attack hit Flying-type Pokemon? I've never really seen the outcome of such an attack, and I know it's Ground-type so I assume it's going to miss it, but I've never done it in R/B/Y to see if it hits.
Edit: Instead of taking up another post, might as well ask it in this same post since my question above hasn't been answered yet, so this way I'll hopefully get my two questions answered. Anyways, onto my 2nd question. If you score a Critical Hit, does the Critical Hit negate or add STAB if a STAB move occurs?
Here is the scenario: I have a Persian with Slash. My opponent has, oh lets say a Chansey (the Chansey doesn't really matter, I'm just randomly throwing it in there so my opponent has a Pokemon for you to image being fought against). My Persian uses Slash, and since my Speed stat is a lot of higher than my opponents Pokemon I have a higher success rate of a Critical Hit %. So since stat-up moves like Swords Dancing up negates the CH of Slash, does this occur with STAB? Since Persian is Normal-type and so is Slash it gets the STAB 1.5 bonus, but will it add to Slash's power with a CH or will it just be a CH with no STAB damage added? Also, how much more damage does a CH do? Is there a set percentage/decimal number for the damage? Like how STAB is always x1.5+ damage. Would a Critical Hit be just as much damage as a STAB hit?
if this is in 4th gen or higher, i know that swords dance doesn't ellimanate CH % and speed doesn't matter. i'm not exactly sure what the question was, so heres some answers to multyple questions,
critical hits do 2X damage, STAB raises by, 1.5%, super effective does 2x damage, unless it is 4x super effective.
STAB + critical hit + 4x super effective = 6x the power of the 1.5 % raised move. ability sniper, makes critical hits 4xs, so add that in there on top of 255 atk evs on slash, and you have the maximum damage that move can do.
STAB + critical hit 4x + 4x super effective = 8x the origanal damage, 1.5% more.
ok that was confusing, but if your question was,
Would a Critical Hit be just as much damage as a STAB hit?
the answer would be no, considering if you look at it like this,
slash is 70 damage, but 1.5% makes it 105, but critical hit doubles the origanal amount i am pretty sure, so 140 with stab makes 210 as of critical hit.
sorry if this didn't help
Hi everyone,
I caught a shiny Illumise naturally in my ruby version recently, however it has a bold nature. Here are its details:
Illumise
Lv13
BOLD nature
HP: 39 Sp.Atk 27
Attack: 17 Sp.Def 24
Defense: 22 Speed 27
The question is, i would like to train this pokemon (yes i know illumise and with this nature is pretty silly) but anyway, how can i make this pokemon the best it can be, what moveset would suit the bold nature or how can i make use of this shiny pokemon. Would it help if I traded it to diamond/pearl/platinum to improve it? I can use it as a battler or for contests. thanks for the help
it would work well as a support, if you want,
illumise @ nothing (lol)
ability: oblivious if possible
bold nature (+def -atk)
- covet, to steel item
- encore, to keep them going on whatever it is there doing
- flatter, to chance them hurting themselves
- and wish to restore hp of illumise and team mates
the idea is to switch in on special attacks then encore and flatter to hurt themselves, then wish to stay healthy, and covet in case they have leftovers or something.
thanks for the option to make a brand to illumise set, no credit neaded, although that makes me sound greedy, really this was fun.
i hope this helps, if i had a good contest pokemon.marriland.com, i'd give you that set also.
Can someone please tell me which pokemon appear 100% of the time in Leaf Green and in which areas? It would help me alot . I know of Tangela, paras and hoppip and i think slugma and zubat. are there any more and if so, where are they located?
diglet in diglets cave
Are there any pokemon/moves in DP that can hit alakazam for super effectife damage? or any psychic type for that matter? And if so, what moves would that be?
uhh, any dark type move or bug type move. dark pulse and attack order are good.
