[Teddy Bear!]

In Generation 1 (RBY), it's level 9 but it changes to level 7 after that (GSC and on).

So, let's try to bring this quiz back to life again!

 

A few announcements before I start:

First of all, I am going to reset the scoreboard since the quiz is over two years old.

Second, it may occur that a question I ask has been asked before in this quiz. I, however, am not planning on reading 183 pages to find out which question has been asked and which not.

 

With that settled, on to the quiz!

 

RULES:

- Follow the basic forum rules.

- Additional points can be earned by giving extra details (not unnecessary details!) in the answer. Also, some question may require several answers, earning you multiple points (if this is the case this will be mentioned in the question).

- Don't post an answer already given before by someone else

- ...unless you can improve it.

- If you changed your display name and have scored before (so you're already on the scoreboard), please inform me of this when posting another answer.

 

Scoreboard:

 

 

Question #1:

What effects does the adamant nature have on a pokémon?

Edited by Praecantatio, 02 April 2013 - 08:18 PM.

[SP_]

Q1: Adamant raises physical attack points while lowering special attack points.  Natures essentially play along standard deviations.  So now Attack will be +1 Deviation while Special Attacks will be -1 Deviation from the standard baseline for given pokemon based on level/gender/etc..  

[Dox]

Actually, the nature simply increases or decreases the stat with 10% (by applying a factor 0.9 or 1.1 after all the other calculations), so it doesn't have anything to do with standard deviations.

I was wondering though, how did you come up with a deviation like that? (If you still think I'm wrong, you could try PM-ing me explaining it. Who knows, it might earn you a bonus point after all  )

 

You got the effects of adamant nature right though, so still one point!

Question #3:

Which non-legendary pokémon has the highest base attack of all?

[SP_]

Q3:

 

Gen 1: Dragonite

Gen 2: Tyranitar

Gen 3: Slaking

Gen 4: Rampardos

 

And I never played Gen 4 or 5, so I'm guessing on the last one and have no idea what Gen 5 pokemon are...

Edited by SP_, 04 April 2013 - 10:29 PM.

[Dox]

Well... ALMOST correct.

These four are indeed the ones with the highest attack, but of these four Slaking does not have the highest.

 

Anyway, considering you never played Gen 4 or 5 you're probably going to guess Rampardos next, which happens to be correct. So I'll just give you the points.

 

That said, 2 points for you, the extra point for giving the ones from 4 generations =) (also, the one from gen 5 would have been Haxorus, but nevermind that)

Question #6:

Name a TM that has the same number and contains the same move in every generation. There are multiple TM's, you get one point for every three TM's you give and another bonus point if you manage to name them all.

Edited by Praecantatio, 09 April 2013 - 12:07 PM.

[SP_]

Q6: 

TM 6: Toxic
TM 14: Blizzard

TM 15: Hyper Beam
TM 22: Solar Beam
TM 25: Thunder
TM 26: Earthquake
TM 28: Dig
TM 29: Psychic 

TM 32 :Double Team

TM 38: Fire Blast

TM 44: Rest

There's only 11 from what I gathered, not 12, so does that mean it's 3+1 or 4+1 on the points?

[Dox]

Correct and it's 3+1 points, I created the bonus point because there were only 11.

Question #7:

In Generation V, there are three moves that despite being classified as special moves calculate the damage using the user's special attack and the opponent's defense (instead of it's special defense). Name one of these moves for 1 point, name all three of them for 2 points.

(HINT: Two of these moves are signature moves of legendary Pokémon. Two of the three moves are psychic type moves, the other is fighting. The not-signature move is Psyshock, name the other two for 1 point.)
