Moveset Help & Other Questions

[LightBlast]

Uhm, I am not so sure about that. Xerneas is Ubers as per Smogon's banlist so you need not to worry about it in standard OU play. However if you are playing somewhere else that does not adhere to Smogon's rules then ignore this post.

Oh, it's just that I like to play in Battle Spot and I've seen that thing quite often. I don't like to use Ubers myself so I'm searching for a counter who is not uber.

Chansey and Blissey wall Geomancy Xerneas.

Doesn't Psyshock destroy them though?

No, it is a 3hko/2hko at best (meaning a Modest 252 SpA EVs Xerneas with +2 SpA) respectively. Even Focus Blast is a 2hko at best.

What would be the best set for a doubles Jellicent? I assume it deviates from the more standard single set?

Which is better for a Stalling Vespiquen? Roost or Heal Order?

Which is better for a Stalling Vespiquen? Roost or Heal Order?

Roost. If Vespiquen somehow gets the Roost off first, it sheds its weaknesses to Ice and Electric the turn it's used; it also reduces its Rock weakness.

Hey guys~

I've been trying to breed a perfect IV Eevee. How can I tell if it has perfect IV's?

 

[Nah]

Hey guys~

Take it to the IV judge in Kiloude City's Pokemon Center. He's the guy in the corner with the purple hair. Show him the Eevee, and if it has prefect IVs in all 6 stats, he should say something like: "This Pokemon has outstanding potential", then mention all 6 stats and say how they "can't be beat". That means you have a perfect IV Eevee

There's also something about an IV calculator, which somebody will come along and post about soon enough....

Show should I EV-train my new X&Y Pokémon?

I really hope this is the right forum.

Anyway.

I have a Noivern (timid) all its IV's are 31, except for "Attack". It has "Infiltrator". But I have no idea how I should EV-train it.

Then I have a Pyroar (modest) all its IV's are also 31, except for "Attack". It has "Unnerve". And I don't know how I should EV-train this one either.

Anyone with suggestions? Or someone who is a competitive EV-training expert?

For both of them its just best to pour all of their EVs into Special attack and Speed. Do you need movesets as well?

Hey guys.

So I've kinda been wanting to use a Furfrou. I know he's kinda baaad, being a physical tank weak to Fighting types with no recovery. Knowing that and wanting to use him anyway, what teammates can I use to maximize the poodle Pokemon's potential? I don't need movesets or EVs, just some suggestions of what Pokemon to look at to help support the little guy (or maybe some Pokemon you think he's good at supporting).

Ghost types generally make good teammates for Normal types, since they cover Normal's sole Fighting weakness, while Normals are immune to Ghosts Ghost weakness. You want a special wall/tank as well, since Furfrou handles the physical side of things.

Hey guys~

I've been trying to breed a perfect IV Eevee.

I hate to repost my issue, but I'm still having problems breeding this Eevee. I've gotten one with 3 perfect IV's, but that's all. I've hatched many Eevee, but still no dice. Any breeding advice?

Are there any Ghost types that make good special tanks besides Jellicent or is he my best bet?

Read this and this.

The gist of this is to catch some 31 IV parents and use the Destiny Knot.

Is there a goos set for a mixed arceus?

 

[Nah]

Is there a goos set for a mixed arceus?

A mixed Arceus is a rare sight. It depends on what form/type/plate your Arceus is. So what's its form?
