One way I know is to use Rock Smash anywhere EXCEPT Ruins of Alph or Cliff Cave.

In hgss, you have to break rocks, usually for like two hours just to find one.
better alternative, trade to d/p/pt and relearn stuff there >.>

That's what I guessed, what with people saying how they switch in Donphan and use Assurance right off the bat to OHKO Rotom. I don't think I non-boosted Assurance would OHKO...

I have a quick question as well.
I'm trying to get all the phone numbers of all the Gym Leaders. Desite the fact it's past noon here, I still can't find Brock in Diglett Cave. Now, it never specified if I needed 16 badges or not, do I need that last one or should he be there already?

If you dont have brocks badge he wont be there. Beat him and then hell be there.
How does Piloswine learn ancient power? Bulbapedia says at start hell have it... what does that mean? I just evolved swinub and the option didnt pop up... or do I have to go to the move relearner?

You'll have to use a Heart Scale at the Move Relearner to teach Ancientpower to Piloswine.

Another question: Does Latias respawn after you defeat her if you beat the Elite 4?

I need a favor/answer.
After being anointed a PR, I realized my only functional knowledge is UU. I need to know a real brief understanding of todays OU metagame because I really don't Timbuktu about any common things (except Scizor of course). Thanks, I appreciate it.

I have his badge. Actually, I have all 16 badges. For some reason, both him and Misty won't appear. That's why i'm asking. Now, for Misty I want to believe it's because Suicune is still on Route 25 (for some odd reason) but for Brock I have no idea.

If brock isnt there at that point then you probably havent defeated red. I found him just today (btw thanks foe the brock alert 
) and I have to wait for Saturday now.
If that all doesnt work then your game has to be glitched or youre not looking in the right place.
btw, when do clefairy appear at the top of mt. moon?

How many steps does it take to hatch an egg? It's taking forever 
SpiredMoth
Smash Journeyman
It depends on what the species of the pokemon inside is. For legal eggs, it ranges from 1275 to 10455 steps. The number of steps required can be reduced if you have a pokemon with the ability Magma Armor or Flame Body while you're carrying the egg.

I've been in and out of competitive Pokémon on Shoddy for a while, and I find myself relying too much on pre-made sets from here or Smogon. I understand what EVs and IVs do, but I don't know exactly how to go about using them.
To all of you experienced players, when you first started, how did you get to to the point where you didn't need any help and you could just create Pokémon (on Shoddy or elsewhere) without any help?
Pokémon really interests me, but I don't feel like I know as much as I can, and despite reading countless guides and such on here, I just don't get a lot of things. I know all of the roles, etc. but it's hard for me to be able to put everything together into a team.

Well it's kinda to the choosing of the player. I mean, almost anybody can creare gimmick sets right off the top of their head (lolSpecsGyara) but if you're talking about genuine unique sets then it really comes down to how confident/comfortable you are with straying away from what you know / making sets. Make something up, test it out in battles, see what's wrong, and keep tweaking it to adjust to it's flaws.
That's what I do, anyway.

Out of Obscurity
I just spend forever and a day theorymonning and doing endless calcs to get to making my own unique set. You normally really want to stick with Smogon sets but if you really know that theres something a Pokemon that can do that will help out your team better, well, THEN DO IT.
For example, I really didn't like the LeadTar on Smogon. It just wasn't helping out my team as much as it could.
So.......
I made this:
Tyranitar@Focus Sash
Jolly/Sand Stream
16 HP/252 Atk/208 Spd/32 SDef
Stealth Rock
Crunch
Earthquake
Sleep Talk
I pretty much spent an hour or two theorymonning and calcing to even make this with over 4 years of competative Pokemon experience under my belt. Pokemon is something you really got to learn to understand in full and really get how to do things. I normally only use Smogon sets, but things like this are a few exceptions.
You just have to keep on marching. Eventually you'll learn from your mistakes and get to a point where you can work these sort of things out.

Hey guys i was just now thinking of some very good stratagys and i thougt back on what i used to use and i used to use paraflinch togakiss a lot. Now i have a question though... if i put razer fang or kings rock on it then does that make every move have 10% more flinch or is it just certain moves?
Now if it is every move then on a togakiss what do yal think should be the attacks?
I know t-wave, air slash, roost but for the last slot i cant choose between nasty plot, sub, aura sphere.
Im more for the aura sphere that way i cant be walled by steels and rocks.
So with serene grace+air slash+t-wave+kings rock/razer fang that would be a paraflinch% to like over 90% with just flinching and then it still has the chance of getting paralyzed.
So if you know if kings rock/razer fang works on every move please tell me.
Thanks

King's Rock/Razor Fang is useless. Go with either Leftovers or Life Orb.

He just wanted to know if it did what he thought it did.
Also, boo at not being able to post in the SmashCAP thread.

No, he posted that he'd use King's Rock on his Togekiss to acheive "over 90% flinch rate" or something.He just wanted to know if it did what he thought it did.
I posted in the thread. Hopefully I can get things ironed out. I am the leader of these projects after all.

Just wondering what programs or formulas/calculation you guys use when figuring out damage calcs for SmashCAP pokemon. I know Ulti does alot.
