    I used Ups items like black glases, black belt and etc.
    Are they any usefull? or just stock my team with leftovers?

    They only increase a certain Type's moves by x1.1

    Crunch = 80 Base Power (Non STAB)
    Crunch = 88 Base Power (Non STAB + Blackglasses)
    Crunch = 120 Base Power (STAB)
    Crunch = 132 Base Power (STAB + Blackglasses)

    You can see for yourself if you would like to use them or not. I like Leftovers or Stat Berries for competitive battles because I think a lot more people will find them useful compared to those other items.

    competitively, no, they suck.

    ingame, it can boost your attack that little bit to finish off the opponent.

    so you can decide.

    You might as well put them on if you don't ave anything better at the time; I just use mine as place-holders until I get the items I really want.

    Belly Drum Charizards used to switch in on Choice Band Dugtrios on RSbot when the Dugtrios had used Earthquake, forcing the Dugtrio to switch and giving the Charizard a free turn to Belly Drum.

    However, some tricky people decided to equip their Dugtrios with Soft Sand instead in order to fool others into thinking that the Dugtrio they were facing had a Choice Band attached, and thus their Charizards, instead of getting a free turn to Belly Drum, got a mouthful of Rock Slides.

    The Dugtrio could have Leichi Berry instead of Choice Band. Silk Scarf is useful for Exploders.

    It could have, yeah, except if the Liechi Berry activated, the opponent would know that it wasn't a CB Dugtrio and they would know to switch their Charizard out immediately.

    he was wondering why not use hardstone to boost up a rockslide to kill 'zard instead of softsand to improve earthquake when you could kill the zard on a surprise move.

    Rock Slide will OHKO Charizard anyway, Hard Stone or no Hard Stone.

    That's true. Didn't think about the damage Rock Slide could cause naturally. Hrm, I like the surprise idea though.
