i was carrying on your example of starmie, F_M. if 'zam's at low health after 1 CM, and uses recover, the starmie uses surf and kazam ends up only 6-24 HP ahead of where it was. it's not far enough ahead that using CM again would be safe.

and that's assuming you can get a CM off before getting hit, and you have flawless HP/SDef. in-game, it's far more likely that you have about 15-20 IVs in those stats, since they're not entirely essential, in which case surf is still a 2HKO, even after a CM.

EDIT: all the pokes you mention are bulky waters, not sweepers. and suicune would CM up as well.

so, ok. CMing up against special-type tanks can work. against physical tanks, or pretty much anything else, no. Dusclops, for example, OHKOs with shadow ball.

Calm Mind
Psychic
Thunderpunch

Also, I'm trying to do the tamato berry thing, and I'm wondering, is it 6 hours or real time waiting or 6 hours of play time?

Listen, I'm doing these punches for weaknesses.
Tyranitar= weak to steel,weak to water
Milotic=weak to grass

grass and steel= fire, water=electric

Milotic will already know ice beam.
What's soooo good about boltbeam anyway?

The only things that resist it are Magneton, Lanturn, and Shedinja.
Not to mention that alone those moves are some of the best ones out there. :rolleyes:

You have to use a heart scale to make it re-learn it as medicham learns it at level 1. Heart scales can be found on wild luvdsic, pressing "a" while diving, or in a rock near Mauville and the move tutor is in Fallabor Town.

Why? You tried it?
Just you gave absolutely no reasoning.
Click to expand...

Who? Unforgiving Suicide?

It is worthless ingame becasue it was designed to counter SkarmBliss as well as beat stall teams which are rare ingame as far as I know and soem requirements are hard to get.
