Because a majority of people don't like ubers in general.

I am not sure whether this has been asked before, but does SPPF support Little Cup. There is a proper metagame with analyses and tiers ( example: scyther, sneasel, tangela, meditite, Yanma and murkrow are considered uber etc) and even has its own site which i will not advertise here plus a ladder on DJD's CAP Server.
I dont know if the CAP server has like a taboo, but LCF is in no way affiliated with smogon
so, is there a LC Community here???

There has been a few different people that have attempted to have LC here, but they have always seemed to fail. I don't knoow why, though. It shows off your poke breeding skills, and such. I rather enjoy LC battles from time to time, myself.

Does Hidden Power Fire activate Flash Fire?

"Rock" on the Water!
Here's Flash Fire Description from Serebii.net :
Activates when user is hit by a damaging Fire-type move (including Fire-type Hidden Power). Once activated, user’s Fire-type moves deal 1.5 times damage. While this ability is in effect, this Pokémon is immune to damage from Fire-type attacks and Fire-type Hidden Power (accuracy and effect from these moves are ignored). For Fire-type Pokémon with this ability, Will-O-Wisp activates this ability without having an effect. If a non-Fire-type Pokémon has this ability, Will-O-Wisp will activate the ability and will have an effect.

So, I think that HP Fire activates Flash Fire for Heatran, for best example. But usually, attacking a Fire-type with a Fire Attack is kind of stupidness. So, hitting Kirlia who got Trace (Flash Fire now) will get its Fire-Type attacks increase, but Will-O-Wisp will get the effect of burn.

they are stickied somewhere under this thread (a few down) the questions thread is no place for a whole team.

I know, I just didn't think it was THAT strict but its ok :).
And the reason I lack descriptions is because i'm new to this so im not sure what i'm doing, being the reason i'm asking for help for it ? ;)

I have a question about this EV jump point stuff. I get the general idea, that extra stat points from a nature boost are gained when you give your pokemon certain numbers of EVs. Now I've been reading up on this stuff and apparently these jump points are affected by the last digit of your pokemon's base stats, and also your pokemon's IVs.

So my question is, how do I calculate jump points of a pokemon with imperfect IVs and unsual base stats? I assume theres like a fomula, right?
So, for example, If I had a Magmortar, who has a base speed of 83, with a speed boosting nature and speed IV of 29, how would I know it's EV jump points?

sorry for the harsh X) i posted a Rate my Magnezone thread as a seperate thread at the beginning of my competitive career (if you could call it that). basically state why you have chosen those moves for that pokemon, why you have chosen those EVs, and what that pokemon does for your team.

eg:

dpmfb212.png

"What's that you say sonny?"
Scizor@Choice Band
100Hp 252Att 158SpD
Adamant
-Bullet Punch
-Pursuit
-Super Power
-U-Turn

Scizor is my revenge killer, switches in on the likes os Special Attackers such as Latias, Azelf and Gengar and makes them choose whether to stay in or switch out with with Pursuit or Bullet Punch, lethal with prediction. U-Turn lets me scout for Magnezone who might try to trap me with Magnet Pull. Super Power for Heatran and Blissey.
these EVs max Attack (obviously) and let me take Special hits as best as possible while retaining a lot of attacking power.​

helped i hope?
