No there is not.

[newtopokemon]

so basically you gotta go through leveling them up, and if it turns out they have terrible IV's, start over?

[Sublime]

Yup, if you don't have WiFi or a cheating device it's hard.

[newtopokemon]

If I do get access to wifi how does battling someone help find out IV's?

[Sublime]

Your Pokemon's levels are automatically set to 100, and you just go in the menu and check their stats and write them down into a IV calculator online.

Oh awesome, thank you very much.

Would this Swellow

Swellow-Flame Orb
Jolly (Spd+,SpAtk-)
252 Atk/4 SpDef/252 Spd
Brave Bird
Protect
U-turn
Facade

be OHKO'd by this Heracross' Stone Edge?

Heracross-Choice Scarf
Adamant (Atk+,SpAtk-)
252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spd
Megahorn
Stone Edge
Close Combat
Night Slash

[Sublime]

Yes it would.

[AuraSoul93]

Yes it would.

Ok, now, what if Heracross had a Jolly Nature, would it still be OHKO'd?

[Sublime]

Yes it would...the minimal damage Heracross can do with the Stone Edge while Jolly is 354...it's overkill.

Thanks again.

Hi there. I have a question about Smogon tiers...

What is the Limbo tier?

Hi there. I have a question about Smogon tiers...

What is the Limbo tier?

It's the tier where Pokemon are tested to see whether or not they're too strong for the tier they're currently in.

I believe it's also the tier Pokémon from a new generation that haven't been extensively tested though. When Gen V comes out, it will suddenly get huge.

[Johto Trainer]

Ok, thanks both of you!
