Earth Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I just used the masterball to keep things simple.

The_Mather1 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Nature is equivalent to maybe 25 EV, so no, it doesn't matter unless you're minmaxing, then it's good for stuff like a Hasty Ninjask or a Shuckle with a Defense boosting nature. For those Pokémon that are nowhere near the maximum for the stats, nature is about as important as nickname. Twitter: @TheMather1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alg Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Nature is +/- 10%. For a level 50 Emboar, that's the difference between 120 attack (negative) and 150 attack (positive), and it stacks with EVs. It's got a huge effect in competitive play, but that's a different topic entirely. You don't have to pay attention to it in the games, especially if you grind a lot, but it's definitely important.

The_Mather1 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Added you. On a mostly unrelated note:If a lvl 100 Darmanitan with maximized Attack stat with +6 in-combat and Sniper uses Me First to score a critical hit with V-create against a Ferroseed with Dry Skin and minimized Defence with -6 in-combat while holding Life Orb during a Sunny Day, the potential damage of the attack is up to 388,329,150,342 HP. That would be hella funny to try and replicate using Hackmons on a battle emulator. Twitter: @TheMather1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earth Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 ... Pft. Absolute madness. Also, imagine if that was done with a move that spread the damage through the entire enemy team. That would be utter rape.

Earth Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Tch, I just ignore them when they talk Technical. I can manage fine without dicking around with IVs, EVs, or grinding. Most of the time.

The_Mather1 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Dragon is better, because then Shedinja is the only Pokémon that you don't do at least 1x damage to. Oops, forgot Steel. Alternatively Skarmory is good, because Steel/Flying means: In competitive playing, Skarmory lacks the stats to be of value, but in the game where type-weaknesses are your worst enemy, it's invaluable.

Alg Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 In competitive playing, Skarmory lacks the stats to be of valueActually, it's been a top-tier wall since the beginning. 140 defense and great defensive typing, and it's even better when paired with Blissey. I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Mather1 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Blissey is best used in Hackmons with Sturdy, minimum defense, Counter, Mirror Coat, Extremespeed and Lunar Dance. The only way to beat a team full of those are by using multi-attack moves such as Fury Swipes.Deoxys-Speed is best with No Guard, Sheer Cold and one other OHKO move to prevent running out of PP. The only way to beat which is with a priority move, Me First, Sturdy or Focus Sash. And Skarmory only has a 465 stat total, it's Defense is the only thing that is better than avarage. And if you want something with high Defense, try a Shuckle, both of its are 230. Also I think I know a way to get the upper hand against any opponent; use Dunsparce first, barely anyone remembers it, so the confusion will most likely put them off their game.

The_Mather1 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Are we really?Few people bother with competitive playing apart from using combat emulators, and most combat emulators allow Hackmons battles. Twitter: @TheMather1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexaduro Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Just watched A Knight's Tale. I really rather enjoyed it, silly as it was.
