Ok, I have something that's been annoying me for a while ever since I battled this person.
There was one time in battle where I was fighting Dugtrio vs Tyranitar. Due to various circumstances, I was switching out to Dugtrio while Tyranitar used Dragon Dance. That should raise its speed and attack one level. Ok everything is fine there.
What surprised me was that his Tyranitar moved first after that. This is what was confusing me. Because, looking at stats, even if he had 31 IV speed (which he does) and a Jolly nature (which does) and 50% more speed from Dragon Dance, I still think he couldn't have outsped my Dugtrio, who was also jolly nature with unknown IV for speed. I personally don't think my Dugtrio's speed IVs were THAT terrible but maybe I'm wrong?
If anyone has direct calculations of how I could be wrong (like if I'm below this much IV I'm going to be slower) that would be cool. Otherwise this could just be considered a rant, I guess.
