Chandelure's Speed isn't too bad, but the Special Attack is where it truly shines. I would go with Modest, but if priority is your issue, then go with Timid.

As the the moveset, it's not bad. I see no point in Payback, because it's PHYSICAL, and that hinders Chandelure's true ability. Also, if you're running Overheat, you might want to make it hold a White Herb so it can recover from that nasty recoil. Or, you could replace Payback with Flamethrower. Then you could save Overheat for when you really need it. Everything else is fine beyond that.

Ah I wasn't thinking about that. I'm probably going to go with timid. What exactly does white herb do?

So Overheat, Psychic, Shadow Ball, maybe Calm Mind? or can it not take a hit?

Chandelure
Modest or Timid/Shadow Tag
Evs: 252 Sp. Att 252 Spe 6 HP
Overheat, Psychic, Shadow Ball, Payback

Any suggestions?

Ghost + Dark get virtually the same coverage so it's useless using Payback + Shadow Ball - plus, Payback is a physical move so yeah. It'd be preferable if you could run Hidden Power [Fighting] to hit Tyranitar and Hydreigon, both who resist Fire + Ghost. However, Energy Ball is another alternative to hit bulky Water-type Pokemon. Calm Mind is also viable, yes. Psychic simply doesn't provide enough alternative type-coverage to be considered a good move on Chandelure.

Why are you using Exeggcute when there's a Celebi? And Sitrus Berry is not really useful in these grounds.

Celebi @Life Orb / Leftovers
Timid
252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
~ Leaf Storm / Giga Drain
~ Hidden Power Fire / Ice
~ Earth Power
~ Recover / Rest / Thunder Wave

Or if you're opting for a Leech Seeder, there's always Whimsicott!

Their using Exeggutor because of it's Harvest berry, matched with a Sitrus berry you get restored health every time you go below 50% iirc.

Personally, I'd prefer Whimsicott's Prankster but if that's what people want then they should go for it.

Uh just use Lum Berry and Rest lol :/

Should I teach my Gurdurr Dynamic Punch?

So I'm training my Gurdurr for the ice gym I'm about to face, and Leveled him to 37 and now it wants to learn Dynamic punch. His moveset right now is:
Rock Slide
Wake-up slap
Chip Away
Low Kick
And I'm not sure if i should teach him dynamic punch. Do you think I should teach him it? And if so what move should I replace?

 

[CleverProfileName]

OK so I have a perfect IV denio and was wondering if i breed it with another Pokemon does it automatically get them or what

Parent IVs will be passed down if the parent is holding the "Power Item" that pertains to the stat that you want to pass down. For example, 31 in Speed could be passed down by giving a parent with 31 in Speed a Power Anklet (I believe. I haven't used power items in a while).

No. DynamicPunch has low PP and its 50 accuracy is useless in-game.

I want a Darmanitan on my team, but I'm wondering how I should EV train it, and what its suggested nature should be? I read Jolly was the best nature, and would 252 Attack 252 Speed 4 whatever work?

Also, what would the better ability be? Zen Mode or Sheer Force?

Adamant is the best because it doesn't outspeed anything important with Jolly. 252 atk / 252 speed / 4 hp should be the spread. And Sheer Force is better 120% of the time because Zen Mode is an awful ability. :D;

Interesting..thanks a lot. All I need now is someone to loan me a flawless adamant haha

I just found a Modest Cryogonal, I know it isn't the most viable Pokemon, I'm thinking of using it on NU when the tiers clear up. Someone give me a set so I can start EVing.

Thanks in advance~

Sorry I guess I was being a bit rude or blunt. Can some one also give me a set for a my Seviper please. I caught a shiny one last weak and if I recall correctly it's a Sassy Nature(?) so I would be glad if some one gave me a set for it. Maybe a BulkyRest set, since it has Shed Skin, I'm just blank for ideas. :/
