Beca, you playing D/P/Pt/HG/SS?

Maybe try:
Roselia
Lunatone
Girafarig
Unown
Flaafy
Magmar
Jynx
Gastly
Haunter

I'm just throwing those out there though...I think most of those can be found in the wild somewhere depending on what game your playing.

Need EV Spread Suggestions for Steelix

Hey all, I just recently caught a Shiny Onix (Lonely Nature :( ) and evo'd it to Steelix. I don't want it to go to waste so I am trying to balance the loss of Defense because of the nature and need help deciding how many EV's per stat.

I like Steelix as a Physical Wall so it's a little tough, but I'm def open to suggestions/other sets.

Appreciate it.

EDIT: old. veekun.com/dex/calculators/iv?pokemon=Steelix&level=42&nature=lonely&stat_hp=127&stat_hp_ev=&stat_at=86&stat_at_ev=&stat_de=155&stat_de_ev=&stat_sa=52&stat_sa_ev=&stat_sd=62&stat_sd_ev=&stat_sp=42&stat_sp_ev=&btnIV=Calculate+IVs

^^ The link is separated with a space between the word 'old' and 'veekun' since I didn't have enough posts to post a direct link.

here is the IV's (HP is nice at least...) and sorry if I'm not allowed to post veekun links, I'm not trying to advertise they just have the most convenient calculator.

If you are interested in movesets for Arbok, or any other specific pokemon, I'd recommend looking at a site called smogon. Search it in google :). It can provide you with strategies for all pokemon (I think :3) Just look for Arbok. Should be near to the top since it's alphabetical

I have a quick question about the Power items.

Geodude gives 1 EV point to defense when you defeat it. Lets say that i put a Power Anklet on my pokemon and then defeat a Geodude. The Power Anklet gives me 4 EV points to speed but do i still get the defense EV from Geodude?

That moveset should work, but I think seed bomb > Low kick. And it looks a little better if maybe you looked at leftovers or maybe some Hp EV, just sayin'

If you have sandstorm support, try Leech Seed in the last slot along with BrightPowder.

Anyone want to recommend an original (NOT from Smogon) moveset for a cherrim? I've run out of ideas :3

It could either be competitive or to get me through the game. :)

Last slot should be what your team has more problems with. Swords Dance might work. Adamant because 55 is rather poor and you already have Sucker Punch for priority. (You "outpace" all foes".). Leech Seed might work to stall some things.

There isn't really a lot Cherrim can do. Your best bet from the top of my heal is probably this.

For Registeel, what's a good EV spread for one with a Sassy nature who's job is mostly only to set up rain?

252 HP/???/???
