    Yeah I was hoping for HP ice but I can't change it, it's shiny and has really good IV's for the most part. HP,Atk,SpD,Sp are all mid-late 20's SpA is perfect and Defence is really low(~6) so it's a decent poke, oh well that just means I'll have to add someone to my team whose able to deal with ground

    If your gonna Sub, might as well Focus Punch.

    I prefer my Pika/Raichu like this

    Raichu@Focus Sash
    Timid Nature
    EVs: 252 Spd, 252 Sp Atk, 6 HP
    -Thunderbolt
    -Hidden Power Ice
    -Grass Knot/Focus Blast/Nasty Plot/Thunderwave
    -Grass Knot/Focus Blast/Nasty Plot/Thunderwave

    Pikachu is the same deal, but you can go with Light Orb instead (although then Nasty Plot becomes a bit overkill)

    No! Raichu Bad! Pikachu good!
    The nature would help, but my pika set is:
    Pika@Lightball (Better than a slightly faster raichu IMO)
    Timid/Naiive/Hasty (It needs to be fast, its not gonna be taking many hits)
    Thunderbolt
    HP Ice
    Grass Knot
    Focus Blast

    Take it slow, bro.

    Remember, Raichu can equip a Life Orb or Wise Glasses, and then he'd be faster and more powerful than Pikachu. Just sayin'.

    Also, at BigGamer, HP Rock hits most Dragons for SE damage. Why? Most of them are half-flying.

    I'm gonna start breeding for a Swampert soon. Anyone know a good set to use?
    Click to expand...

    Yep, swampy is awesome


    Swampert@leftovers
    240 HP / 212 DEF / 56 SP.ATT
    Relaxed Nature
    - Hydro pump
    - Earthquake
    - ice Beam
    - Stealth Rock / Roar / Protect / hidden power Electric / Hammer Arm


    2HKO's weezing, Skarmory, Forry etc with Hydro pump.

    Ice Beam outdamages Avalance and is your best friend vs Dragons etc

    Earthquake gets STAB and deals with t-tar.

    Last slot is mainly a filler, Stealth Rock for team support, Roar to PHaze, protect to scout attacks, Hidden power electric makes this quite a formidable Gyarados counter, and Hammer Arm is a must if you want this to take on weavile as a Swords dance life orb'd Ice Punch/Night Slash 2hkos swampy, Hammer Arm is a OHKO on Weavile, it also helps vs magnet rise Magnezone, even Blissey and Snorlax to an extent.

    Pidgeot isn't too bad. You could say the same about Dodrio (which I'm pretty sure is also UU), but when you give it Flail it becomes really awesome. Anyway, it would be better to use a Swellow though because it w/Facade equals you win =o

    Reversal/ Flail sets are unreliable, though. Sandstream and priority moves laugh at them.

    In addition, CB Staraptor is a good choice as well, and is worth considering.
