Serebii has it banned, but not all communities do so.

In smogon it isn't. I've used it on froslass. I still want zapdos EVs.

You should probably just make your own spread. Chances are it will be better suited for your teams needs than someone else's spread.

Err... Your HP Type is determined by your IVs, not EVs and not Natures. 31/30/30/31/31/31 is the highest set of IVs that will give you HP Ice @ 70 BP.

I was thinking about Smeargle today, and I began to wonder... If Smeargle sketches an Uber only move (like Sacred Ash), and uses it in lower tier play, does that disqualify the trainer? Or it doesn't matter because his base stat is so low?

EDIT:

Cool, that's good to know :p

Thanks! :D

Nope. It doesn't mater because Smeargle is not a Uber Pokémon. If, for example, Magikarp randomly got Sacred Fire, it would not suddenly rocket up to Ubers. Besides, Smeargle is rarely used offensively anyway.

Is there a list for IV spreads for a hp and IV spreads compatibility to legendaries' natures?

I just bred myself a 31atk/31spatk/31spd mild swablu in order to make it into a mixed attacking altaria. I was going to use the set smogon provided:

Altaria@Life Orb
Mild
112atk/252spatk/144spd

-Draco Meteor
-Outrage
-Fire Blast
-Earthquake/Roost

The only thing I want to know is if the evs are right if I intend to use this pokemon to beat some standards. It really isn't meant for a team, just a one-off. So whatever spread would help it stand on its own I'd really like to know please :D

Also, strangely it has Hidden Power Ghost with 70BP....I've never had a pokemon with 70BP HP so I thought it was kinda cool. Is it worth implementing into the set at all?

Thanks

HP Ghost will be generally useless sadly. That EV spread works fine. Just double check for a 31 in speed.

Hi, I've been battling a friend's team for a while now and cannot overcome it. I have 2 questions which would help me greatly in creating a new team or changing my current team up to overcome his.

1) His opener is an Azelf with Energy Ball and Fire Blast. What is a good Pokemon to beat his opener? My opener is Swampert and most of my team is weak to fire so I have a problem getting past Azelf.

2) The Pokemon I have the most problem with is his Togekiss. It has both Air Slash and Roost. Although Air Slash has, I believe, a 60% chance to cause a Flinch for Togekiss, it seems to cause Flinches every single time. If I ever manage to get it low on HP, he just Roosts back up. Any suggestions on taking this beast down?

Thanks!

For a way to beat that Azelf try a Heatran lead.

Heatran @ Shuca Berry
Flash fire
Timid
252 SpA / 252 Spd / 6 HP

Stealth Rock
Fire Blast
Earth Power
HP Grass/Explosion (go naive if you lose Explosion)

Togekiss is a real *****. You can try a restalking Zapdos. Blissey or Cresselia also work as well.

Ow! Ow! Harder! Ow!
You can try a Dragonite to get around his FlinchHax Togekiss. PRedict Roost and knock it hard with Earthquake. I think Thunderbolt would be viable, but Dragonite is the strongest pokemon that has Inner Focus that comes to my head. I do know that if Togekiss lacks Thunder wave, he can beat Togekiss one on one.

I use paraflinch togekiss on my team and I can tell you that Weavile scares the freaking crap out of him. CB ice punch dies just fine so I would suggest using Weavile.

What's a good site to get pokemon images?

And no this is not "random" and DOES belong here, cuz I need it for an RMT.

Typing ;_025;, but without the _, will give you a Pikachu image, since Pikachu is number 25. This works for all Pokémon. This image comes from Serebii.

Pokémon Elite 2000 will give you all in-game sprites.

Arkeis will give you impressive and creative images.

These are the three main sources. I'm not sure where people get the images of just a Pokémon's face, though.
