[Surferboy]

so why do I lose it if I do it on a trainer Rematch?

[F-22]

I'm pretty sure that any items lost to Knock Off/Trick etc are returned to you at the end of any battle, regardless of where it is.

[Surferboy]

well If I trick an Item in the wild or in a rematch I lose it...

[F-22]

Maybe it's different in-game. Battle Frontier/Wi-Fi are different and I know for a fact that you don't lose your item in them.

[Surferboy]

ok thanks. I thought I should just check with someone before I use my Choice Scarf.

You lose the item in a match against wild pokemon and trainers. Im not sure wat happens if you lose though

SO bulbagarden Peeps what do think the best move set for a more poison oriented bulbasaur->Venasaur would be. please send your ideas to my wall. thanks for your help.

[F-22]

What do you mean "Poison oriented" Venusaur? Do you want a bulky Toxic user? Or just something to use Poison moves? Venusaur's selection of poison moves is very, very sparse.....pretty much limited to Toxic and Sludge Bomb.

[THE RICH BECKXX]

thanks for pointing this out ok so it shall have sludge bomb and toxic what are come other moves that could complete its move set

[F-22]

Honestly, it's not a good idea to have them both on the same set. You either go a defensive route with Toxic, or an offensive one with Sludge Bomb (which has a 30% chance to poison anyways).

[THE RICH BECKXX]

Could you give me examples of a what you think is a good move set for Defensive And offensive venasaur

[F-22]

If you want to run Toxic, Toxic / Leech Seed / Energy Ball / filler (maybe Synthesis?) with a very defensive nature and spread does the trick. Offensive sets should run a Life Orb, Choice Specs, or Choice Scarf with Leaf Storm / Sludge Bomb / Earthquake / filler (maybe HP Fire or Sleep Powder?). This page also gives good suggestions.

How do you breed a Shieldon with both Fissure and Counter? The Seedot move breed calculator isn't compatible with HGSS-exclusive egg moves (Counter).

You can't, sorry. But FIssure isn't really that useful.

i have a question out of curiosity, i know that:
choice specs kingdra>choice scarf heatran
but without choice specs its:
choice scarf heatran>(Item.) kingdra
i know this may be confusing but it seems heatran is better than kingdra normally, despite the fact he is fire/steel type, and kingdra is water/dragon, wouldnt taking advantage of STAB water moves make kindgra better? according to smogon, heatran is better in the scenario.
