There are like, 2 or 3 Blue Shards hidden in Agate Circus alone.

You can try Nature Power on Typhlosion. You also have the option of running Flamethrower or Fire Blast in conjunction with Eruption.

Return is not available via TM and the point never was that Saphira's Dragonite is invincible.

Most of your Pokemon don't function well under Trick Room and would benefit more from an X Speed use.

I swear to Arceus... Here I outline the key details in this exchange: The point here was that MGlalie's ability doesn't "destroy just about any dragon" any more than MGlalie already does by itself. This is already a non sequitur to my previous post because it doesn't disprove, nor does it even address, anything that I said. But it was wrong regardless, so I refuted it. Even worse, this is a non sequitur to AuthorReborn's non sequitur, because you are talking on different wavelengths! AuthorReborn's point was, look, MGlalie is so strong that it OHKOs even a fully invested +def nature Multiscale Dragonite with an unremarkable move. This happened to be incorrect. Given the context of this conversation, how in the hell was I supposed to know that you were talking about a Life Orb Protean Greninja attacking a not-fully-invested Multiscale Dragonite? Glalie can't yet learn Return because I'm pretty sure the TM is unavailable in-game, and the first listed set on Smogon for Dragonite runs neither 252 atk nor 252 spe. Ultimately, Refrigerate does not make MGlalie more overpowered than it would already be because the requisite moves are not yet available. This fact does not change regardless of how many sneaky dishonest damage calculations you can fit into a post.

You're moving the goalposts. AuthorReborn used a fully invested defensive EV spread for Dragonite when he claimed that Refrigerate Facade can OHKO Multiscale Dragonite. He also did not assume a Life Orb (obviously, because Mega Glalie can't hold a Life Orb!).

No it doesn't...

So first of all, that's definitely an erroneous calc. I got 230-272 (59.5 - 70.4%), which is almost exactly half of what you got. Whatever you were using, it probably forgot to factor in Multiscale. Second of all, I'm not sure if it was possible to be any more explicit in my previous post. Mega Glalie does the same amount of damage to Dragonite with Ice Beam (actually slightly less because Dragonite's spdef is higher, but that's immaterial). You said in your post that Mega Glalie's "ability destroys just about any dragon" and that's demonstrably false. As is, Mega Glalie does that regardless of Refrigerate because its only accessible moves that are boosted by Refrigerate are not stronger than its usual Ice-type STABs. Is this unclear in any way?

Glalie's only available options that can be boosted by Refrigerate are Headbutt and Facade. Both are exactly 1.1% stronger than Ice Beam.

But it's not overpriced; $6000 for a Max Revive is a steal. In most (all?) main series games, Max Revives aren't even buyable.

What is this even supposed to mean

There's a hidden Black Sludge somewhere in the wasteland, which is what I assume you're talking about? It's still there. You should change Dragalge's nature to Quiet to benefit from Trick Room because base 44 speed is hopelessly slow, but I think Clawitzer should stay Modest because base 59 speed with investment is actually high enough to outspeed many generic trainer Pokemon, and it's high enough to outspeed most boss trainer Pokemon with X Speed or Sticky Web assistance or both. Also there are so few double battles (especially after you get Surf) that if you want to go with the Surf + Dry Skin gimmick, you're better off running Surf on Clawitzer than you are running Surf on Dragalge... Surf is not STAB for Dragalge and you further lose power due to it being a spread move. It's a totally useless coverage move otherwise because it's barely stronger than a resisted Dragon Pulse whereas Hydro Pump is significantly stronger against the few targets that you want to hit - steels and Lunatone.

There's almost no point in running Surf over Hydro Pump on Dragalge because a resisted Dragon Pulse is 5.55% weaker than a neutral Surf.

Delphox: Consider running Light Screen; Fire Blast is fine if you have PP Ups Everything else is fine; +spatk nature is better than +spe on Heliolisk, though.

I didn't expect them to be so hard to get when a strictly better item is buyable with no extra requirements.

I know that Cotton Candies can be bought for $6000 each at the candy shop, but I'm more interested in Revives because they restore less HP. Are Revives only found as hidden items, or can they be bought somewhere?

Tentacruel is way more likely to KO Diggersby during setup with Muddy Water if it has to take an extra turn to use an X Attack. Icy Wind also pretty much loses the battle for you.

Set up against Lileep; Double Kick is stronger than Flame Charge anyway.

Combusken can sweep this battle with 3 X Attacks.

Numel is not immune to poison...

Why are users worrying about X Pokemon making the game too easy when there already exist Pokemon obtainable in the current episode that make the game too easy?

MAero is UU and MManectric is OU...

It can still Sub + Protect stall with Moody in its base form, then mega evolve and sweep with some combination of Headbutt, Blizzard, Crunch, and Shadow Ball. Explosion is bad in-game but Headbutt is quite good.

Or you can just run 1 actually decent Pokemon and 5 Pickup slaves...
