Why can't I find/get Manectricite?
I know it's at the big rock on Route 16 & I've set my 3DS to between 8-9PM. Every time I start my game, it's not on the ground where it should be...I have no idea why & I've never gotten it before. I have X Version.
(1) Beat Elite 4
(2) Go to Kiloude City (via Lumiose Station)
(3) Battle once in Battle Maison.
(4) Battle and defeat rival in Kiloude City (he/she is in the north-central part of town)
(5) Go to Anistair City and speak to professor at the big crystal sundial thing to upgrade Mega Ring
(6) Inspect the sparkle on the large rock on Route 16 (two trainers are skating around it) between 8 and 9pm.
I'm doing suspect testing for the first time. I just identified myself on the identification thread and I'm wondering how voting will take place. Will there be another thread or do I email/PM my vote?
From what I've heard in that forum, no. Ubers and LC are completely separate from the other tiers.Ubers is currently suspect testing Gengarite, but from reading the suspect thread, some users have suggested that Shadow Tag Gothitelle should also be suspect tested. Hypothetically, if Ubers ends up voting to ban something that's currently legal in OU, will this ban also apply to OU?
Did you wait 24 hours after changing your clock time before looking for it?I've already done all of that a long time ago. I have many Stones. Not sure why this one doesn't appear.
Here's the page for reference: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/TimeBulbapedia said:If the 3DS clock is changed, time-based events will not occur for 24 hours and any berries will reset.

What are some Excadrill counters? Is it just Skarmory and some fighting types? Rock Slide hit's most birds, iron head and earthquake hit everything else.
Defensive birds such as Mandibuzz and Zapdos can take a rock slide and roost off the damage, but outside of that I'm not really sure. Zapdos is kinda iffy if Excadrill is non-scarf, as it can be bit with a supereffective EQ when roosting, but if Exca is locked in to to Scarf, it can KO with heat wave. Those are the only two I can think of off the top of my headWhat are some Excadrill counters? Is it just Skarmory and some fighting types?

Defensive Landorus-T works quite well, I think.

So it's really only Lando and Mandibuzz since Zapdos will have a hard time switching into it, especially if sandstorm is already up. Anyone else? There has got to be some more, how can an OU pokemon only have 2-3 counters?
Anything that can switch into it though? Breloom takes 67.9 - 80.1% from Iron Head and fails to OHKO itBreloom can also scare it out with Mach Punch. It takes heavy damage from Iron Head, though.

252 Atk Technician Breloom Mach Punch vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Excadrill: 296-350 (81.7 - 96.6%)
EDIT: How does Gyarados do?
Offensive Gyarados can get 2HKOed by Rock Slide after Intimidate.
-1 252+ Atk Mold Breaker Excadrill Rock Slide vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Gyarados: 150-178 (45.1 - 53.6%) -- 38.7% chance to 2HKO
Defensive Hippowdon can switch into any attack and Slack Off the damage. (If it doesn't get flinched too many times by Iron Head.)
Also, Adamant Breloom has a chance to OHKO Excadrill. LO Breloom OHKOes regardless of nature.
1. The OU council decides something is potentially either broken or uncompetitiveQuestion regarding the Suspect Test logic. How does this work exactly? Some almighty power decides to Suspect Test a pokemon/item/move and then they ban it in the Suspect Test ladder and let the players who are more dominant in that metagame decide the ban? I don't understand how this process can prove something is broken?
That's only the extremely broken things. Even obviously broken things like Mega Kangaskhan and Blaziken(-Mega) have counters. Mega Kangaskhan gets stopped by Sableye, and Blaziken gets stopped by stuff like Slowbro if it doesn't have Knock Off, and TFlame can switch in on it and kill it.Wouldn't brokeness be decided if every team begins using it and the only way to stop it is to use it yourself? Shouldn't the test be to see if the pokemon is broken, not how the metagame works without it?
Many OU Pokemon have very few counters, Landorus-I for example isn't really, truly hard countered by anything afaik.So it's really only Lando and Mandibuzz since Zapdos will have a hard time switching into it, especially if sandstorm is already up. Anyone else? There has got to be some more, how can an OU pokemon only have 2-3 counters?
Besides the speed drop while holding the item (which shouldn't matter), nopeI recently got into the Pokemon series again, and decided to try to play competitively. EV training always put me off in the past, but after getting the Power items from the battle maison, it seems so much easier. Is there any downside to using items such as Power Weight or Power Lens to EV train as opposed to a more classic approach such as finding a specific wild Pokemon and fighting it repeatedly?
The second spread runs enough speed to outpace Mega Pinsir and Brave Bird it before it can Quick Attack. Then puts the leftover EVs into HP for added bulk.The CB Talon on the analysis runs 252 Atk/252 Spe, but almost every time someone posts a CB Talon set here it has 48 HP/252 Atk/208 Spe. What's up with the second spread, which I assume is better?
