An Adamant Regigigas has the same attack as an Adamant Latios (assuming both Pokemon have 252Atk EVs and 31Atk IVs), how is this possible?
- A.
Slow Start active with +1Atk.
- B.
Slow Start active with Life Orb as held item.
- C.
Slow Start inactive with Flame Orb as held item.
- D.
Slow Start inactive with -1Atk.
- E.
Slow Start inactive, burned with +2Atk
Correct Answer
D. Slow Start inactive with -1Atk.Explanation
The Slow Start ability halves Regigigas' attack stat for the first five turns of battle. However, if Slow Start is inactive, Regigigas' attack stat returns to normal. In this scenario, the -1Atk indicates that Slow Start is inactive and Regigigas' attack stat is not affected by the ability. Therefore, it is possible for an Adamant Regigigas to have the same attack stat as an Adamant Latios with the specified EVs and IVs.Rate this question:

Pokemon A with the following stats: 280/x/x/x/306/x Pokemon B with the following stats: 700/x/x/x/250/x Who can take special hits better? (assuming both have the same type)
- A.
Pokemon A
- B.
Pokemon B

Pokemon A can take special hits better because it has a higher special defense stat (306) compared to Pokemon B's special defense stat (250). This means that Pokemon A is more resistant to special attacks and will take less damage from them.Rate this question:

Blaziken has 280 Atk, when it has a ____ attack nature, 31 Atk IVs, and ___ Attack EVs.
- A.
Positive attack nature + (1024)^0.5 attack EVs.
- B.
Neutral attack nature + (256)^0.5 attack EVs.
- C.
Positive attack nature + (256)^0.5 attack EVs.
- D.
None of the above is correct.
Correct Answer
B. Neutral attack nature + (256)^0.5 attack EVs.Explanation
The given answer is correct because Blaziken has a neutral attack nature, which means its attack stat is not boosted or hindered. Additionally, it has (256)^0.5 attack EVs, which is equal to 16. This combination of a neutral attack nature and 16 attack EVs contributes to Blaziken's base attack stat of 280.Rate this question:

Pokemon A(any type but normal) using max-powered Return.Pokemon B(fighting-type + Iron Fist ability) using Focus Punch.Pokemon C(any type but flying) using Aerial Ace with reflect in the field.Against Heracross, which of the previous Pokemon would score the highest damage?(assuming all have the same attack)
- A.
Pokemon A.
- B.
Pokemon B.
- C.
Pokemon C.
Correct Answer
B. Pokemon B.Explanation
The correct answer is Pokemon B. Heracross is a Bug/Fighting type Pokemon, so it is weak to Flying type moves. Aerial Ace is a Flying type move, and when used against a Pokemon weak to it, it receives a 1.5x damage boost. Therefore, Pokemon C using Aerial Ace would deal the highest damage. However, the question states that all Pokemon have the same attack, so the damage calculation would be the same for all three. Therefore, the only difference would be the type effectiveness, making Pokemon C the correct answer.Rate this question:

Modest Ludicolo (Swift Swim ability + rain + Choice Scarf as held item + paralyzed). Quiet Exeggutor (Chlorophyll ability + sun + [-1Spe]).Brave Parasect Choice Scarf as held item). Who's the slowest of the three? (assuming all have 252Spe EVs + 31Spe IVs).
- A.
Parasect
- B.
Ludicolo
- C.
Exeggutor
Correct Answer
B. LudicoloExplanation
Ludicolo is the slowest of the three because it has the Swift Swim ability, which doubles its speed in rain. However, Ludicolo is also paralyzed, which cuts its speed in half. Even with the Choice Scarf held item, Ludicolo's speed is still lower than that of Exeggutor and Parasect. Exeggutor has the Chlorophyll ability, which doubles its speed in sun, and Parasect has the Choice Scarf held item. Therefore, Ludicolo is the slowest of the three.Rate this question:
