Sandstorm’s special defense boost for rock types?
T-Tar is such a beast lol. With the boost that sandstorm gives, its SPD gets boosted from 100 SPD to 150 SPD. Giving him a 650 base stat total. The highest in OU. There is a reason hes the second most used Poke.
Since you use AR does that mean you can clone easily? If so I have been looking for someone to clone my suicune and ES dratini. They are legit from my SS, and you can have as many as you want as long as you give me 4 copys.
Suicune : 31/31/31/30/31/31 bold HP electric
ES dratini: 31/31/31/17/31/31 adamant
Tell me if you are interested…
Crazy IV.
That from Breeding?
I can Clone if you want.
Thanks everyone for your input on my team. It was my first attempt at making a decent team. It took me awhile to make it so it looks like I’ll have to go back and start over again with some of the pokes. The natures themselves were on of the problems for me, as at the time I made this team awhile back, I had really no clue what I was doing. I did a LITTLE research, but I guess that wasn’t enough. Thanks again, you guys are so helpful.
I Remember when I played diamond garchomp was OU…why is he uber now? Why isn’t T-tar uber also he’s just as good imo.
Mostly 'cause it had to be one or the other. Having BOTH in OU was too much, but having both in uber was as well. So they put the worst of the two offenders there.
So, I unlocked Sinnoh Field on the walker finally, and thus, I’m on the rare candy hunt. This makes me want to ask a question to those more familiar with statistics than I.
From what I read, the current claims are either a 50% chance per try of finding an item if you do it “intelligently” (pick one in the middle, then look in one of two places depending on the message), or a 33% chance per try by derping your way (pick the corner first and go from there). From my understanding this is both false and backwards in which is a better method.
If you pick, say bush #3, you get a 17% chance first try. The notification will now let you know if you have a 50% chance on the following try (it’s near, 2 or 4), or a 33% chance (it’s far away…, 1, 4 or 6). I’m not sure how this works out as a final statistic though. I think it would work out to a final statistic of 50% still (17+33+50/2(tries)).
If you pick a corner, the same 17% applies. However, you are now either given a 100% of finding something (it’s near), or a 25% chance of finding something (it’s far away…). This would mean that your chances are really 71% if my understanding is correct.
At the very least, being “dumb” about it guarantees a 50% chance in final as you eliminate three spaces with two shots. Either you’re getting an item out of one of those three, or else it was in the other three. Am I horribly mistaken here, or is the “dumb” method actually better? 
Picking #1 or #6: 1/6 + 1/55/6 + 1/44/55/6 = 50% chance
Picking #2 or #5: 1/6 + 1/22/55/6 + 1/33/55/6 = 50% chance
Picking #3 or #4: 1/6 + 1/22/55/6 + 1/33/55/6 = 50% chance
Being really lazy and always just picking #1 then #2 
: 1/6 + 1/55/6 = 33.3% chance
Despite being a great team player, Tyranitar will never be as difficult to deal with as Garchomp, simply because of his speed. Tyranitar is bulky and powerful. Lots of pokemon get a chance to take a swipe at him before he kills them. Garchomp is FAST, bulky, and powerful, limiting the number of pokemon that actually get a chance to hit him
Tyranitar also has common weaknesses in the metagame. Fighting X4, Ground, Water, Bug are pretty much given on a lot of pokemon.
Garchomp again, was just too powerful for OU. Major resistances, STAB EQ/Dragon/Excellent Speed base. There’s a chance it could still be standing from an Ice Beam if the pokemon didn’t have at least 247 SPA.
Remember when people found out out about the yache berry? I do, and I nearly cried myself to sleep when I tried to Ice Beam Garchomp.
that’s actually not true. It’s BETTER than that. bonus’s go directly to the stat not to the base stat, so it ALSO boosts all EV’s, IV’s, and nature by 1.5.
I still feel Garchomp is screwed in uber. SS is not common in uber play, and there’s lots of Special ATKers with Ice Beam that have no problems with him. He’s not gonna dent ubers with a non-boosted DC, and there’s lots of pokemon there that Fly/Levitate avoiding his STAB EQ.
he’s in an unfortunate position of too good for OU, not good enough for ubers.

we need a BL for uber like standard BL
Is it really that simple though? I mean, you pick #1, then are told “pick #2, it’s there”, or “it might be in 3,4,5, or 6”. That’d be 1/6, then either 1/1 or 1/4 depending on the response. The way I’d understand that, it’d be 1/6 + (1/120%) + (1/480%). 57%.
Don’t forget the complete and utter BS that is Sand Veil, that trait cost me the final match in the first SRK tourney.
The “pick #2, it’s there”, or “it might be in 3,4,5, or 6” scenario only occurs on the 5/6 of the time that you do not guess correctly on your first try, the other 1/6 of the time you guessed right and skipped that part entirely. Therefore you’d have to multiply your 1*20% and 25%*80%s by 5/6.
It breaks down like this:
1/6 : you guessed correctly on the first try (success)
5/6: you guessed wrong and the douser tells you that the item is
–5/6 * 1/5: the item is right next to you
----5/6 * 1/5 * 1: the item can only be in one spot so you will always get the item in this scenario (success)
–5/6 * 4/5: the item is not right next to you
----5/6 * 4/5 * 1/4: you guessed correctly (success)
----5/6 * 4/5 * 3/4: you guessed incorrectly (failure)
Add up your success: 1/6 + 1/55/6 + 1/44/5*5/6 = 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 50%
Just don’t pull a Sleazoid and use Roar on it. It’s considered as a KO and he won’t show up again
It should only happen one out of five times though, not one out of 6, considering you’ve already eliminated one from your first pick. I thought that this would mean the first pick isn’t part of the initial That’s where I got the 20% and 80% from to begin with. 1/5 chance of “it’s near”, 4/5 chance of “it’s far away”. So that would be a 1/5 chance of guarantee on second pick, 4/5 of a 1/4 chance. 1/6(try 1) + 1/5 + 41/54 = 1/6 + 1/5 + 1/5 = 57%.
From my understanding, Garchomp was actually pretty popular in Shoddy up until stall became more prominent. But I’m just getting into ubers, so don’t take my word to heart. And, right now, Scizor is an absolutely amazing check for Tyranitar. It just cannot stay in on it.
Sohofalco: Those are some nice pokes!
