The Pokemon Questions Thread Again!

[GokuRikaku]

If I switch out, will I still get all of the EVs?
Example:
Tentacool appeared!
Go, ACOOLTENT!
(switches out to something and kills it)
Does ACOOLTENT get 10 EVs(he has Pokerus), or 8 EVs from the power item and the power item alone?

Yes it will gain all the EVs it will normally gain.

Suicune can't learn DRAGON TAIL?

Umm it hardly has a tail (if any) why would it make sense for it to know DT?

 

[jolteon27]

yea the P-Z's are always owned by shiro*/hiro*, its so odd

True, true.

uhh Using Rare Candies on pokemon makes their level increase, and last time i checked the higher the pokemon grows in level the stronger it gets, espcially in 1st gen games.

True, true.

Last time I checked, the stats don't increase when you feed someone a Rare Candy. Not sure if this applies in Gen 1, though.

Yes. EVs exist in Gen I, though they're called DVs instead, and function a bit differently. But the general truth holds: Trained Pokemon through experience gained in battle are stronger than those raised in the wild (or rare candying or daycare or whatever)

The stats may increase but not much at all, but im not sure if my pokemon will be weaker in the long run compared to battle trained ones :/ im not sure with gen 1 mechanics
thanks for the help guys im not gonna use them now

They're called Stat XP. the base stats of a pokemon give you extra stats. Example:Mew gives you 100 Stat XP in every stat. It's not like EVs, you can have, I think, 65,530 Stat XP in each stat. So, if you beat a Golem, you get 80 HP, 110 Attack, 130 Defense, 55 Special, and 45 Speed Stat XP.Like EVs, but not as abusable as there is a limit and investing it all in one stat will still allow every other stat to be maxed.

i dont know if i asked this yet, but how come water pokemon can learn electric type moves?

 

[Watchog]

Breeding for the perfect breloom.

;286; That's right, i need a shroomish with Technician Ability. i've hatched around 20 and still nothing, they're all Poison Heal. So am i doing it wrong like i did last time with buneary or the odd's are simpy very wtf? if you know anything about this, please let me know.

 

[BritishLanguage]

Has to be female.

 

[Agonist]

Technician is its DW ability, which means that unless you're using a female DW Shroomish (which is unreleased), you won't get any.

 

[Astral Shadow]

Technician Breloom is unreleased.

 

[Agonist]

it's unreleased, which means any Technician Breloom is hacked.
