Since then, I've realized that the stupid way I was going about EV training on Platinum took the enjoyment out of it, so I'm thinking of restarting it - that is, if one of you guys could hold onto my event Jirachi temporarily once I get a router? I'd rather not lose an event Poke if I can avoid it. Also, my Kadabra, since that'd evolve it anyway, and I got damn lucky with the Sp.Atk. IV's.
I could hold onto it for a while if you want. I've already got both of those anyway, so it's not like I'm going to steal them or anything...
Yeah, but it sounds slightly different than that; it says all secondary effects of the user's attacks are disabled, which would include stat drops - as they are secondary. I dunno', hard to say.
I doubt they'd let something that game-breaking slip by them. Besides, Clear Body ("Prevents the Pokemon's stats from being lowered") only works when the opponent tries to reduce stats, and doesn't protect the user from drops resulting from Superpower, Curse, etc.
Agreed. Please, let Gen 5 have that as a 3rd option - since I don't see Contests actually going away.
Pokeathlon better have not been a one-time thing before reverting back to those stupid Contests. I mean they could at least make Contests less annoying if they want people to actually try for the top of those.
