I am making a scizor sweeper. Hes gonna have ATT/DEF evs. this is what im thinking so far, since im going to dragon dance - baton pass to my scizor.

X scissor (has stab)
U-Turn (for switching to my wall if things get bad)
Swords dance (In case dragon dance baton pass fails)
I havent decided a fourth, maybe giga impact for suicides? idk

What do you mean by Dragon Dance - baton pass? As in you're baton passing Dragon Dance boosts to Scizor? If that's the case, then Dragon Dance isn't a passable move since nothing learns both it and Baton Pass.

In any case, defense EVs are not necessary. Standard spread for SD Scizor is 32 HP / 252 Attack / 220 Speed.

"You forgot me. :["

;D

Would a HP/SPD EV trained smeargle be able to use dragon dance then baton pass without dieing? i know smeargles are pretty... well weak.

Steelix and loudred can get all of them so if you get a male one and Breed it to somthing that can inherit/Learn them It Gets all fangs too :) if you want a specific pokemon that shouldent be too hard either

You could Spore them and try, honestly though most people are prepared for Smeargle now so I honestly don't think it'll work but if you want to try something like this can work as a lead.

Smeargle @ Focus Sash
Nature : Jolly
EV : 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe
- Spore
- Baton Pass
- Dragon Dance
- Endeavour / Stealth Rock

No prob

Anyone Know a Physical Pokeon for OU that can deal with Fighting threats I need to make one to finish my Team thanks I know its not much info but It really broadens the horizons and it needs to deal with fighting type threats all other moves can do whatever is best but it needs to take on fighting

Gyarados and salamence will take fighting hit's well since they both resist it and have intimidate (provided the attack is not hp fighting or focus blast).

Also the bulky ghosts, aka Spiritomb, the Rotom Formes counter fighting types well.

Oh....right. Sorry Smeargle.

Well in that case, Dragon Dance isn't a very viably passable move. Seriously, if that thing ever got off a successful pass, I'd be amazed XD

Also Belly Drum passing is a much better option \o/

Defense EVs are unneccesary since you resist nearly all physical sweepers anyway. Invest in Speed instead.
Bullet Punch >>X-Scissor.
You'll really want Superpower for other Steels and walls.
Pursuit's nice too.

Bug Bite now outclasses X-Scissor if used on Scizor thanks to Technician. This is a better SD Scizor set :

Scizor @ Life Orb
Nature : Adamant
Ability : Technician
EVs : 32 HP / 252 Atk / 224 Spe
-Swords Dance
-Bullet Punch
-Bug Bite
-Superpower/Brick Break

Baton passing is a really black and white endevour... one Taunt from the oppositions lead scr#ws your initial plans (*cough Aerodactyl cough*).

Well guys I made a new rough draft for a team. I need honest opinions/moveset changes. It's okay to tell me it sucks lol;D

Anyhoo here we go

Togekiss @Leftovers, -Relaxed, ~Serene Grace
EV's: 252HP, 252SpDef, 4 Def.
-Airslash
-Toxic
-Roost
-Aura Sphere

Heatran @Choice Scarf, ~Lonely, -Flash Fire (duh:p)
EV's: 252SpcAtk, 252Spd, 4HP.
-Earth Power
-Flamethrower
-Hidden Power Ice
-Explosion

Dusknoir @ Leftovers, ~Calm
EV's: 252HP, 43Def, 215SpecDef
-Pain Split
-Will-o-Wisp
-Toxic
-Brick Break

Breloom @Toxic Orb, ~Jolly, -Poison Heal
EV's: 73HP, 185Atk, 252Spd.
-Spore
-Focus Punch
-Facade
-Substitute

Suicune @Life Orb, ~Calm? (Not sure about this nature), -Pressure.
EV's: 6 HP, 130 Def, 252SpcAtk, 122 SpcDef.
-Calm Mind
-Surf
-Hidden Power Electric
-Roar
(Kinda a bad movepool combination- I know. Just can't decide what to with cune:C)

Claydol @Leftovers, ~Bold, -Levitate
EV's: 252HP, 144Def, 114SpcAtk
-Stealth Rock
-Rapid Spin
-Earth Power
-Shadow Ball

So yeah that's it. Tell me what yuh think:)

Heatran's Nature isnt really good, Naive is a prefferable nature.

Dusknoir's Nature is also bad, it lowers its attack stat, its better to use Careful instead.

you can change roar to Ice Beam to deal with mence, not to mention that Ice Beam with HP Electric makes a good coverage.

Yah. Since you have to encounter a lot of dragons, an Ice-beamer tank should do.

I need someon to comment on my Blastiose. And this is the first Blastiose I've used in D/P/pt, this is the one I've transfered from LG(finally :3).

Blastiose @ (need help, maybe Mystic Water, Life Orb, Choice Scarf or Metronome?)
Modest
EVs: 4HP/252 Sp.Atk/252 Sp.Def

Hydro Cannon(You know what you're thinking, not advisable. But hey, since it's a waste if I deleted this)
Ice Beam
Earthquake
Substitute.

Help really(and don't give me Hidden Powers)

Blastoise @ Choice Specs
Modest
64 HP / 252 Special Attack / 192 Speed
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Focus Blast
- Earthquake

This is your best option since Hidden Powers are apparently not possible. Though there are plenty of UU special attackers that outclass Blastoise in this respect.

Im making A Stall Explosion Drifblim and here's what I was thinking for it:

Drifblim@Leftovers
Nature: Calm
EV's: 100 HP/250 SpD/160 Spe
Moveset:
Explosion
Will-O-Wisp
Substitute
Protect

I Feel as though my EV's are a bit weird, but If anyone could help me also decide on a moveset that would be swell.(But I would like to keep Explosion)

Click to expand...

This seems like a very random set. Substitute / Protect isn't very useful on any Drifblim set, especially one like this. It just makes it even more of a set up fodder for any sweeper that's running substitute, so in the end you're not really accomplishing much. I would suggest his double status set.

Drifblim @ Leftovers
Aftermath
Calm
80 HP / 252 Special Defense / 176 Speed
- Hypnosis
- Will-o-Wisp
- Shadow Ball / Hidden Power Flying
- Explosion

^ Accomplishes what you're trying to do plus a lot more.

By the way, explosion is not a good idea at all on stall teams since they rely on a solid defensive core. In fact, Drifblim isn't really that good on stall since Spiritomb totally outclasses at spin blocking since it and has far better defenses and access to the same moves.

Hey everyone. I'm usually sick of all these status hax in the Frontier. Using Ice Punch and freezes you on the first strike. This was why Safeguard was made in the 2nd generation. Beyond that, I've got a useful combo for Doubles that can help. Sceptile and Slaking with these movesets:

Sceptile
Nature: Timid
EV's: 252 Sp. Atk/252 Speed
Held Item: Focus Sash
Energy Ball
Safeguard
Worry Seed
Protect

Slaking
Nature: Adamant
EV's: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Speed
Held Item: Leftovers
Return
Fire Punch
Earthquake
Sucker Punch

When I send both of these on the first turn. My Sceptile uses Safeguard and my Slaking attacks. On my second turn, my Sceptile uses Worry Seed on my Slaking therefore it won't waste a turn and attacks again. And for some turns if there is an opponent weak to Ground types. My Sceptile uses Protect and my Slaking uses Earthquake. A very dangerous combo that is, don't you agree?

Do you think this combo works well?

this is rather a bad combanition, why ? Worry Seed cant be used on Slaking, its better off to use a Skill Swapper to exchange abilities with Slaking....

It doesn't? I thought Worry Seed would get rid of Traunt and changes it to Insomnia. Therefore Slaking will attack again and again without loafing around...
