My Probopass used Lock-On on a Claydol. My next choice of attack would be Earthquake, but I'm still leery of Levitate (as one should be). Would Lock-On bypass Levitate to land the attack, or would I be better using another move like Stone Edge or whatnot instead? I know it's great for low-accuracy moves, but does it bypass things like Levitate or other related Abilities? I looked it up on Bulbapedia, but I didn't get very far. I know it can bypass the semi-invulernable state of Fly, Dig, and Dive, but is that all it can do, or can it do more than that? Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.

Lock-On cannot bypass immunities from type or ability. The only thing it does is make accuracy 100% and negate the semi-invulnerability of those moves.

I figured as much. It only made sense, but it didn't quite make sense on the wikia (of course, I could've just misread it). Thanks for clarifying that! ^_^

Is there somewhere on the Wiki that'll list all held items by Gen?

A list that you can look up which wild Pokemon hold which items?

yeap. that'd be it. I don't know why it didn't come up in my search.

But thanks.

Has anyone yet made a Damage Calculator Applet to auto-calculate damage?
Several Sources has the Formula for it but I'd like to see an actual Calculator to do it.... (Because I suck at Math.)

Anyway, that brings me to my problem.

I have a Banette with 162 Atk, 98 SAtk.
I'm torn between using Shadow Ball or Shadow Sneak.
Damage-wise, they're almost the same with Shadow Ball coming out just slightly more but Shadow Sneak makes up for Banette's speed.

Any one have some thoughts on this?

I haven't seen an applet for it, but I have used this in the past. There are also several other calculators available on different sites.

Yep, That's what I was talking about.

And Geez, that's frustrating to use. It doesn't make inputting data easy. But best I could figure, my first estimate was correct. Shadow Ball does about 10 points more then Shadow Sneak.

Alright, I must ask something about medals. In particular, the Memory Master one (see all events through ML).

I have seen every event through the Memory Link except one, Farewell, Beloved Sister. I never participated in a Musical in my White so I received a brand new Prop Case in W2. Question is, is it still possible to get this medal or is it considered unobtainable now?

You can get that medal only if you have seen all events in Memory Link.

I just got the opportunity to check it right now, and it turns out my mysterious gray Tentacool from my childhood was indeed a shiny one on a badly lit Gameboy Advanced ^^''
(Actually, it still looks gray instead of green to me, even when I know it's green and look for it x3)
But thank you for helping me clear it up ^^

And here is a crappy picture of it, just to be sure :3

If I fuse a regular Zecrom with a shiny Kyurem will the resulting Black Kyurem be shiny?

Yes. Only Kyurem can actually be legitimately shiny since Zekrom has a shiny lock on it, but only Kyurem needs to be shiny for Black Kyurem to be shiny.

Thanks. ^_^
I know about Zekrom, but I was wondering whether SRing for a shiny Kyurem was worth it or not.

That wasn't what I asked for, though.

So i dont know how exactly im supposed to trade my ice key for a steel key, since i dont have any irl friends that own a black 2 version im wondering if i can trade via wi-fi (you know, like global trade station a.k.a. GTS) otherwise i would be forced to get the black 2 version wich isnt the best of solutions...
