    Which word means "A Pokémon intended to take attacks, usually one side of the spectrum, and hit back"?

      Sweeper

      Shuffler

    • D. 

      Suicide lead

    • E. 

      Cleric

    Correct Answer
    B. Tank
    Explanation
    The word "Tank" refers to a Pokémon that is designed to absorb and withstand attacks from the opponent, usually specializing in defense or hit points. Tanks are typically placed on one side of the spectrum, meaning they focus on taking hits rather than dealing heavy damage. They are meant to endure attacks and retaliate with their own moves, making them a sturdy and resilient choice in battles.

    Rate this question:

    Excluding NFE and including Limbo, Smogon has _______ active tiers. (number please)

  • 4. 

    Odd one out?

    • A. 

      Slack Off

    • B. 

      Recover

    • C. 

      Heal Order

    • D. 

      Milk Drink

    • E. 

      Roost

    Correct Answer
    E. Roost
    Explanation
    The terms "Slack Off," "Recover," "Heal Order," and "Milk Drink" are all related to restoring health or energy in some way. However, "Roost" stands out as it is a move in the Pokémon games that allows Flying-type Pokémon to restore half of their maximum HP. Thus, "Roost" is the odd one out as it is the only move specifically related to Pokémon and their unique abilities.

    This move is exclusive to Ho-Oh (and Smeargle): ____________ [Spell it right!] - ProProfs

    This move is exclusive to Ho-Oh (and Smeargle): ____________ [Spell it right!]

    Correct Answer
    Sacred Fire
    Explanation
    Sacred Fire is a move that is exclusive to Ho-Oh and Smeargle. This move has a base power of 100 and has a 50% chance of burning the target. It is a Fire-type move known for its high power and the added chance of inflicting a burn status on the opponent. Ho-Oh is known for its association with Sacred Fire and is the only Pokémon that can learn this move through leveling up. Smeargle, on the other hand, can learn Sacred Fire by using the move Sketch, which allows it to permanently copy the last move used by the opponent.

    • C. 

      HP Ice

    • D. 

      Hp Water

    Correct Answer
    A. HP Steel
    Explanation
    Subject X's possible Hidden Power is HP Steel because it is super effective on Abomasnow, which suggests that Subject X's Hidden Power is a type that is strong against Grass and Ice types like Abomasnow. HP Steel fits this criteria as Steel type moves are super effective against Grass and Ice types.

    Which clause bans Sheer Cold?

    • A. 

      Species Clause

    • B. 

      Item Clause

    • C. 

      OHKO Clause

    • D. 

      Freeze Clause

    • E. 

      No-Blissey Clause

    Correct Answer
    C. OHKO Clause
    Explanation
    The OHKO Clause is the clause that bans Sheer Cold. OHKO stands for One-Hit Knock Out, and it refers to moves that have the potential to instantly knock out the opponent's Pokémon regardless of their level or stats. Sheer Cold is one such move that has a low accuracy but can instantly faint the opponent's Pokémon if it hits. The OHKO Clause is implemented in competitive Pokémon battles to promote fair gameplay and prevent matches from being decided solely based on luck.

    Well, you've made it to question 10. Every tenth question is kind of challenging, so you'll need to look at the problem(s) carefully:A Pokemon with base defenses of 230 (Pokemon 1) is doing battle against the only Pokemon with the Technician ability who can Rapid Spin (Pokemon 2). Pokemon 2 is NOT Smeargle. Pokemon 1 goes ahead and uses a move, which turns out to be NVE. If you know that the move used is NOT Dark-type, then does the move used used gain a STAB bonus? Yes or no?

    Correct Answer
    Yes
    Explanation
    Pokemon 1 is Shuckle, and Pokemon 2 is Hitmontop. Fighting types resist Bug, Dark, and Rock. The move Shuckle used was NVE, and it wasn't Dark, as stated, so it had to be Bug or Rock-type, both of which are Shuckle's types, meaning that the move used did get a STAB boost.

    What infamous attacking combo do both Lanturn and Magnezone resist? (One word)

    Correct Answer
    Boltbeam
    Explanation
    Lanturn and Magnezone both resist the infamous attacking combo known as "Boltbeam." This term refers to the combination of Electric-type move "Thunderbolt" and Ice-type move "Ice Beam." Since both Lanturn and Magnezone are Electric/Steel types, they have a resistance to Electric-type moves. Additionally, their Steel typing grants them a resistance to Ice-type moves. Therefore, they are able to withstand the Boltbeam combo more effectively compared to other Pokémon.

    This nature boosts Special Defense and lowers Special Attack.

    • A. 

      Careful

    • B. 

      Sassy

    • C. 

      Calm

    • D. 

      Gentle

    Correct Answer
    A. Careful
    Explanation
    The nature "Careful" boosts the Special Defense stat and lowers the Special Attack stat of a Pokémon. This means that when a Pokémon with a Careful nature is in battle, it will be more resistant to special attacks, making it harder for opponents to deal significant damage. However, its own special attacks will be slightly weaker. This nature is beneficial for Pokémon that have a higher emphasis on defense rather than offense, allowing them to better withstand special attacks from opponents.

    True or FalseSuppose MAGNEMENCE (Magnezone and Salamence) and GYARAZONE (Gyarados and Magnezone) are defensive walling combos. Can both resist EACH and EVERY type!? - ProProfs

    True or FalseSuppose MAGNEMENCE (Magnezone and Salamence) and GYARAZONE (Gyarados and Magnezone) are defensive walling combos. Can both resist EACH and EVERY type!?

    Correct Answer
    True
    Explanation
    Both MAGNEMENCE and GYARAZONE can resist each and every type because they are defensive walling combos. Defensive walling combos typically consist of Pokémon that have a diverse set of resistances and can handle a wide range of attacks. In this case, MAGNEMENCE and GYARAZONE likely have a combination of resistances that cover all types of moves, allowing them to effectively defend against any type of attack.
