Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
If metronome item is used and a protect is thrown at you or anything that makes you sleep or miss your move, does it pause the metronome item effect or does it cancel the effect? I know if you switch moves it cancels. I'm just curious.
Is there a way to tell that assault vest is working other than paying attention to damage calculation.the same the status moves. I noticed that stockpile has a numbering system for how many have been used, so why doesnt calm mind, dragon dance, etc.do the same so you don't waste a turn?
So lets say a mega diancie fights a mega sableye both have magic bounce and someone uses a status move on the other. Does the one using status have its magic bounce canceled or does noone get statused.?
So I just got an idea about Hoopa Unbound. Giving it Fowl Play knowing that Hoopa is a glass cannon towards physical opponents, people might take advantage of it and go all physical against a Hoopa Unbound. But I feel one of the major downsides would be replacing hyperspace fury/hole due to it...
How important is Freeze Dry to a ATT/SPE Mamoswine? The one I have has earthquake, icicle crash and ice shard. I might just give it Iron Head because I don't see Superpower as helpful due to the after effects unless I need to.
I have a question about fire red. I have a gyarados and it needs ice fang, but I used a rare candy and it skipped learning moves at the level they were suppose to learn, will I still be able to learn those moves later on? I was able to learn twister at a later level after the candy but I'm not...
Idk if this is the right place to ask this( I'm new to the site), but this crossed my mind. Do moves like siesmic toss and dragon rage and moves that have their damage locked, do they get a stab boost? I thought about it because my primeape on FireRed has seismic toss.
I have a shiny Larvesto with good ivs in HP, Attack and SDef. It's nature raises Def but lowers SDef. I thought the only thing I could do is ev its health and def and make it defensive. I didnt think it would be a good idea to make it a speed SAtt version. Is this a good idea?
