It can somewhat deal with Garchomp, weaken it so something else can kill it or finishing it off if it's already weakened, but like you said it's not really a counter for even non Yache versions.

Suspect ladder is the best anyways, you get to see weird stuff like sweeping Jirachis that work great without Garchomp but are setup bait for him otherwise.

I have an idea for an annoyance team and wondered any avice. 3 pokemon for battle tower

I wanted to have a pokmon that knew sleep powder and either roar with a high speed so I could "roar" all foes pokemon to sleep. Then take them on. (I had a venusaur with roar and sleep powder, but its speed was low) I also wanted a pokemon with leech seed too, what would be the best moveset/pokemon for the job?

Roar automatically goes last iirc, so you will take some hits. If you want something fast, you might try Breloom with Spore. I can't remember if it can Roar or not though...

For the other two, anything with Double Team and a 100% Accuracy move to stop other DT'ers and probably something with Sturdy when you get into the upper levels.

There is a simple questions thread for a reason

What Shinx3000 is asking for is impossible. To my understanding, you wish to have a Pokemon who can Roar out the opponent first correct? That will never happen for reasons stated above.

However, there is an Aerodactyl set that finds a loop hole to that:

Aerodactyl @Leftovers
Jolly
-Rest
-Sleep Talk
-Whirl Wind
-Roar

Sleep talk has no -1 speed prioritizer and will always go first assuming you are faster, and will have a 2/3 chance of phazing the opponent. Of course, this is only cool when you have Toxic Spikes/Spikes/Steath Rock on the field.

EDIT: Oh cool, this thing got stickied. Now there actually is no reason for saying "I missed it"

OK, I have scrapped my idea anyway, it sucked, but thanks.

Just wondering, I want to do better in single battle and I am on 14 wins, what would be the best three pokemon for the next 7? Which ones would do well on the tower tycoons dragonite, rhyrepior and mioltic? I am thinking having a temtacruel with Ice beam, toxic spikes, surf and protect for one pokemon, but not sure what to do, any ideas?

Restalk Empoleon with Grass KNot and Surf gets about all of them, so does DD Gyarados if it has taunt.

Personally I use a modest Starmie @ wiseglasses (also has high speed and special attack IVs, not sure how much of a difference that makes seeing as I don't know what natures/EVs/IVs Palmer's pokemon are programmed with) that always goes first and can 1HKO Rhyperior with surf, 1HKO Dragonite with ice beam, 2HKO Milotic with thunderbolt. I've never had a problem with hypnosis, but Starmie has natural cure anyway. And I'm sure Outrage DD's suggestions are just as good.

Thanks I thought about a Emploreon with a raised speed with:

Surf, Ice Beam, Grass Knot and Aqua Jet holding a lum berry. Aggron with Thunder, Surf, Dragon claw and Iron Tail? Hows that seem, but thunder does have not the greatest chance it will hit,, thunderbolt better?

Aggron's special attack is craptastic. Also Accuracy>power in Aggron's case so use iron head. Instead of that set however lets take the smogon standard subpuncher
Adamant
@Leftovers
252 hp/252 atk/6 spe/def
Substitute
Focus Punch
Avalanche
Stone Edge

Sub first than focus punch which should own milotic and rhyperior while avalanche is to watch dragonite die you could use t wave instead of stone edge of avalanche depending on tm avalibilty and redundancy of coverage of dragonite by them both

Can Focus Energy be Baton Passed?

Focus Energy isn't a stat booster, so I'm sure it can't be baton passed.

Considering that Focus Energy can actually be snatched, I'd guess it can. And you know, rather than guessing, I went out to find a source.

Long story short, yes it can

Stat changes aren't the only things one can Baton pass. It looks as though most anything one can lose during a switch (either by you or your opponent) is passed by Baton pass and kept in play.

Yeah, Yeah, I know it's uber now, but for BT, would this work? I apologize for no spreads, this was before I knew about them, and I don't feel like Re-training and Breeding to 100.

Garchomp@???
Adamant Nature
Swords Dance
Fire Fang
Dragon Claw
EarthQuake

Lucario@Choice Scarf
Plain Nature (There are so many, and I don't feel like checking)
Aura Sphere
Dark Pulse
Dragon Pulse
Psychic

Blissey@Leftovers
Bold Nature
SoftBoiled
Ice Beam (Sorry, no ST for me (They are so annoying in FR SafariZone :()
Stealth Rock
Thunder Wave

I guess the following would fall under the category of a breeding question.

I've been trying to catch a female Jolly Gible with good stats (preferably near-perfect of better in Physical Attack and Speed) for battling the Elite Four and for breeding more high-quality future Garchomps, and I've acquired what seem to be three promising candidates(out of a total of five thus far):

#3: Jolly, Alert to sounds.
-----L17 Gible
-----Hit Points: 50
-----Physical Attack: 33
-----Physical Defense: 24
-----Special Attack: 20
-----Special Defense: 25
-----Speed: 26

-----L50 Garchomp
-----Hit Points: 180
-----Physical Attack: 149
-----Physical Defense: 112
-----Special Attack: 88
-----Special Defense: 105
-----Speed: 134

#4: Jolly, Likes to thrash about.
-----L17 Gible
-----Hit Points: 50
-----Physical Attack: 34
-----Physical Defense: 25
-----Special Attack: 19
-----Special Defense: 20
-----Speed: 26

-----L50 Garchomp
-----Hit Points: 180
-----Physical Attack: 150
-----Physical Defense: 115
-----Special Attack: 85
-----Special Defense: 92
-----Speed: 133

#5: Lonely, Alert to sounds.
-----L17 Gible
-----Hit Points: 48
-----Physical Attack: 37
-----Physical Defense: 18
-----Special Attack: 18
-----Special Defense: 23
-----Speed: 24

-----L50 Garchomp
-----Hit Points: 174
-----Physical Attack: 165
-----Physical Defense: 93
-----Special Attack: 85
-----Special Defense: 100
-----Speed: 122

I obtained their L50 stats by leveling them up with Rare Candies after saving upon capture. I have yet to give them *any* EVs.

So which, if any, of these little land sharks is the best for my plans? Thanks in advance.
