Dude, just try it out on Shoddy or do the damage calcs.
OK so in the Lucario analysis under the 'All out sweeper' entry, it gives the following data for a CC from max attack LO'd Lucario after one Swords Dance:
Close Combat vs Max HP/Def Skarmory 85.03% - 100.30%
I recently made a damage calculator in Excel using the math from the complete damage formula by X-Act and did the same math, but got different data. I got 84.43 - 99.70%. Given the difference between an possible OHKO and a 2KO, I thought that it might be notable to change if indeed my math was correct. I understand that we knew less about the exact damage formulas and had less accurate calculators back then so I am not trying to criticize the creators of the analyses. I also know that my spreadsheet could be mis-written. I think I found / decided that Metalkid's calculator seemed to not floor (remove the fractional damage) till the last step, and it returns the same values in the analysis. This might be the rare case where the flooring after each step is important.
So my questions - Who do I tell? Can someone else run the math to see if my calculations are off? I am willing to be wrong, it means I need to fix my faulty damage calculator!

You could send metalkid a PM, here is this profile:

I remember him posting when somebody said that he was getting bad IV calculations or something like that.
It's almost guaranteeed WITHOUT Life Orb. (min. ~99% on 252/252 Bold Blissey)
EDIT: Side note to add to the developing story with Metalkid's calculator: Metalkid returns a minimum damage of 709; I'm getting 707.
Could someone please answer my question?
I'm in a rush, and I need to go soon.
hexatron,
If you want Heatran to outrun Jolly 252 Choice Band Dugtrio, max it. Otherwise, 224 to outrun Raikou seems sufficient.

Does The wall combination of forretress-slowking-curselax offer good coverage in terms of defense?
It good untill it gets to Mix-Ape and some other Mix-Fire sweepres.
Ok. I heard that hack checks are done through an R4DS or something. Is this what it is? Also, is it a system or a cartridge? Where can I get one? I need one for hack checks on a site I am runnning and just looking at Pokemon through trades isn't working too well.
Its a flash cartridge that lets you play ds roms. If your buying one it will have to be online as they arent available commercially. If your wanting to hack check you need to get the save file to your computer and check the code of each pokemon. From experience it isnt exactly quick and you have to know what your looking for.
Damn. Ok thanks.
Do you a link to shoddy or something, cuz I don't have it. I also can't do calcs, not that good numbers from pokemon.
ok, I downloaded it, but now it brought up all of these server things. What do I do now? And thanks for the link.
Raticate, Fearow, Poliwhirl, Medicham, Pikachu, Golbat, Staravia are all worth 2 pts IIRC and you can use a Power Anklet to increase that. You kill them with whatever poke you want to Ev Train
Shoddybattle.com.
Pick a server, Go for Official. That's the best server imo to play. You need to make a team first using Team Builder. Make a team, register a name/pw for the Official Server(Connect to it and there is a tab that says Register)
Ok, I registed, but do I have to acctually battle someone just to test my thing out or is something I have to press?
Click the "Battle" tab and then hit the find tab.
