Unbound posted:Is there a secret to passing down nature? I'm working on my first breeding project by making a Bold Squirtle with Rain Dish Water Spout and Aura Sphere. However, I can't seem to get a Squirtle with Rain Dish and the moves. For referance the two pokes I'm breeding both have Rain Dish, Bold and moves between the two of them. The one with Rain Dish is holding the Everstone. A full box in and I have a bunch of Torrent Squirtles. Make sure the female has the ability you need. Females pass down their ability 80% of the time. If you're using a male with a Ditto, it's more like 20%. Nature is passed down with an Everstone, like you're doing.

The game autosaves before it lets you start battling, and if that save is loaded it sets your streak to 0. e: Whoops, beaten. What's up new page. Silver Falcon posted:If you're using a male with a Ditto, it's more like 20%. Breeding a male with a Ditto gives him the same chance of passing on his ability as a female does normally. I think. All the drat breeding changes might be getting me mixed up. LAY-ZX fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Nov 11, 2013 |

Ok, so if I take one of my Torrent Squirtles that have Water Spout and Aura Sphere and bred them with a Squirtle that has Rain Dish (while holding the Everstone) it should work after a couple eggs? astr0man posted:Also, Bold is a nature, and is passed down via the everstone.

Assuming the one with Rain Dish is female then yes that should work. Also whichever mon is holding the everstone shouldn't matter in your case since (I'm assuming) both of your parents are bold.

So, Everstone is just for Nature and doesn't affect Ability Transfer? VVV Had that happen a couple of times. Can they just remember them or are they hosed?

It seems like everyone wants a Gengar that has disable. I thought that move was useless for competitive battling. Gengar has no bulk so it seems like if it doesn't take the opponent out in the first move it usually won't survive, making disable even less useful. What am I missing that makes disable so awesome on Gengar?

Gengar's faster than most things you'd put him in against, and as a status move, Sub disrupts sucker punch, letting you disable from behind a wall and chow down on leftovers.

If it Disables, then subs up to block status, that can be a pretty deadly situation. Disable also got an accuracy boost in Gen 5.

And you'd need to have a free turn to get substitute up, which means relying very heavily on prediction.

It disables whichever move the target used last. The usual tactic is to Substitute in someone's face, then when they immediately break the sub, you use Disable to keep them from using that move again. A lot of Pokémon only have one move that can break Gengar's subs.

It's probably worth mentioning that as of this gen anything with Infiltrator just shits all over that strategy, as does anything with a strong enough sound-base attack.

The Leper Colon V posted:If you're really nasty/gambling, you then use that locked down foe to set up some Calm Mind or Nasty Plot boosts. Only leaves one attack move, though, which obviously causes problems with coverage. Crobat is a loving monster with Infiltrator. I can't count the number of times he's blown away a Mega Gengar hiding behind a sub. Why I didn't get Thunderbolted out of the sky I can't tell you but poo poo I ain't complaining.

So I'm trying to come up with the ideal EV spread for my Togekiss. This is what I'm modeling it off of: " Bulky Attacker (courtesy of AccidentalGreed) Nature: Modest Ability: Serene Grace Evs: 248 HP / 40 SpA / 28 SpD / 192 Spe (EVs by Alexwolf) Item: Leftovers / Life Orb - Dazzling Gleam - Air Slash / Aura Sphere - Fire Blast / Aura Sphere - Roost " From the Smogon forums. I'm thinking of running it with an Assault Vest and investing more in physical defense. Also, mine is Timid, not Modest. Moveset is: Aura Sphere, Dazzling Gleam, Air Slash, Flamethrower Anyone got a good EV spread suggestion for me?

For reference, using stat x BP as a guide, BB Exploud hits harder than a 130 SpAtk mon hitting with STAB Ice Beam/Tbolt. Yeah. Guy hits harder than goddamn Magnezone. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Nov 11, 2013 |

The moves will definitely get overwritten, but until you pull the parent it doesn't matter. I had a Wish Eevee gain 50 levels and it kept churning out Wish Eevees, but as soon as I took it out it would stop doing it since it didn't have Wish anymore.
