    Hey just a simple moveset request here.
    I recently got my free gift jirachi and was just wondering if there was anyone creative enough to make a moveset for the nature lonely. I will be using him for wifi battles against friends so any suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks inj advance.

    A Lonely nature isn't the best, but it isn't the worst either.

    You can use the standard Choice Scarf set:

    Jirachi @Choice Scarf
    4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd

    -Iron Head
    -Trick
    -Stealth Rock
    -U-Turn

    OR

    Jirachi @Choice Scarf
    4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd

    -Iron Head
    -Fire Punch
    -Ice Punch
    -U-Turn

    If you have a high Sp. Atk IV, you can also run a mixed set:

    Jirachi @Expert Belt
    252 Atk / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd

    -Iron Head
    -Ice Punch
    -Fire Punch
    -Thunderbolt/Grass Knot

    Is Heatran a good lead nowadays? It's been a long time since I used lead Heatran, and I want to use Heatran in my team because it has great synergy in my team and I don't have a lead, so I thought of asking here.

    Yeah its pretty good. Machamp lead increase kinda nerfs it a little though, but w/e you still get rocks off.

    Is Dugtrio worthy of to get rid of Blissey for helping Raikou (It has Bulk unlike Jolt, and CM is just way better than beam) sweep (offensive booster, but I think about Leftovers > LO, but I'm unsure) or should I kick it and bring in Wish Vaporeon? Works as a Gyarados counter since I don't have one. I was thinking Roar > 4th slot, but I don't know.
    (I heard this combo was from ADV)
    Also, what are the Speed EVs for on the set on smogon? It seems pointless. Should I move them to HP or SpA? Or SpD?

    I'm still working on the team so not so sure posting an RMT is a good idea. I'm also lacking a steel type and Lucario isn't bulky enough for those hits. I don't care about kicking both Dugtrio and Raikou if it'll give me a good bulky poke I can add, but I think Wish helps out DNite.

    Dragonite wants Jolly.

    Nah keep duggy, it helps eliminate 2 of Raikous biggest counters. Bliss and also Tyranitar who also can cause Gengar issues.

    Also vap doesnt beat Gyarados without HP Electric as it can just Taunt you and you'll be screwed.

    Anyway i dont think this team really has Gyarados/<stuff walled by bulky steel> problems if you simply don't let them set up and cram priority into your team. None of your pokes are choiced so thats even less of an issue.

    I got high on the leaderboard with a similar style by simply attacking things and then picking them off with priority if they did set up and sacrificing stuff when needed.

    Dual Screen Azelf might actually benefit this team though since you have alot of set up sweepers.

    Id watch out for Lead Aero though, its actually a pain for this team. Id try to find a slot for Scizor somewhere so you can pick it off. Over Duggy or even Raikou might work, use the SDer.

    Hello everyone i want to make a OU team Base in the Metagross

    Metagross@ Leftovers
    Adamant
    ~Agility
    ~Meteor Mash
    ~EQ
    ~ThunderPunch

    Please help me to make a good team

    We arent here to build a team for you, you must give us something to work with. One pokemon really isnt good enough of a base for help.

    I saw Quagsire can learn recover in smogon, but I'm not able to find a way... do I need a teacher to make it learn it or something?

    I'm from Spain, so it would be nice if the answer is really clear.

    Find a Male Corsola that know Recover and breed it with a Female Wooper/Quagsire.

    I know I'm gonna sound like a noob but...

    How much will maximised attack increase a moves base power?
    Skull Bash has a base power of 100, if a Marowak used Belly Drum and then Skull Bash what would Skull Bash's base power be?

    The Base Power of a move always stay the same, whatever you use Belly Drum or not.
    Skull Bash will stay at 100 Base power.
    Belly Drum rais the ATK stat of your pokemon, Marowak in your case.
    He will gain a +6 stage in ATK stat, so its ATK will be x4.
