I know what they're all useful for (I've done quite a bit of research as I <3 Snorlax), but anybody have an opinion? I have one, anyone else?

about Heatran though, Snorlax can stall it out of PP if it's lol enough to stay in :P

Not if it taunts or Blows up on you.

Well its really up to you and what what you actually want to hit, as in do you already have a reliable counter to ?

Hey sorry to ask such a typical question, but If you have a 252 ev in anything you can totally get rid of it with ev reducing berries right?

 

[Azonic]

Yes, but you'd have to use more than one. One berry reduces 10 EV Points of a certain stat.

When you receive a nicknamed pokemon from another person that's at its first stage, then you level it up and evolve it yourself, does the name usually go back?

Example:
Bronzor Level 1
Nickname: Zoolander

Evolves Level 33
Bronzong Level 34 (I was in the Elite Four)
Nickname: N/A (meaning it changed back to Bronzong)

Ooka has told me this means it's cheated/hacked/messed with/ect. Is this true or does this happen sometimes? I put that he was at level 34 after the battle just in case it has any relevance to the problem.

[Azonic]

No it shouldn't. Ooka's probably right.

The Bronzong you have should still be nicknamed Zoolander.

UNLESS the Pokemon evolves during a trade and has a Japanese name. For example, a Japanese Kadabra obtained through a trade will become an Alakazam named ALAKAZAM.

That is not what happened if you have read my post...(I already knew what you just said, but maybe it'll help someone else.)

Meh, I was.....slightly confused.

Hi all, if i raise my scyther to max out its speed EVs, then evolve it to scizor, will its speed be lowered?

 

[luke]

Yes because it's Base Speed is lower.

 

[Justin T]

What is murkrow usually more prefered as: a physical or special sweeper?

 

[Dark Destiny]

espeon has the same base speed as gengar
if both pokemon has maxed out speed Ev's (31 Iv's in speed) who would be faster?

 

[Dark Azelf]

It comes down to a 50/50 chance whoever will go first.This is called a speed tie.

This is why it is discouraged when ev training a pokemon, that you dont ev it to get a speed tie.
