Here's a crazy question for you ;)

I wanna make a UU team of serpents for some reason, I was wondering if dragonair could be a viable choice?

 

[devilicious]

If Dragonair is actually considered UU and not just NFE, I guess it could. It still gets Dragon Dance, Outrage and whatnot.

It's not NFE, it's UU (as it's not all that different from it's evolution). I think only the pokemon who differ from there final evolution (such as Vigoroth and Slaking) greatly, then the Not Fully evolved pokemon (such as Vigoroth) is placed in the UU tier, otherwise it's NFE.

You'll just have to make do without elemental punches and EQ.

 

[StrickeN]

I think Arbok can learn EQ though ?

[Angelic Diablo]

Err Physical Empoleon is kinda lame, Base attack of 86 ain't getting anywhere, even with Swords Dance

Empoleon@Petaya Berry
44 HP / 248 SP.ATT / 216 SPEED
Modest Nature
- Ice Beam / Grass Knot
- Substitute
- Hydro Pump / Surf
- Agility

Either bulky waters, or Dragons will wall you with this set, but it is much more effective that a SDEmpoleon

 

[devilicious]

While I prefer SubPetaya, too, I have to say that SD Empoleon works fine. With those defenses, you can get two or three SDs easily and after that, Aqua Jet will certainly hurt, especially if you're hurt enough to activate Torrent. That's why I don't like to use Leftovers on that set, but something like Liechi or a Damage Reduction Berry. Boosting items like Muscle Band/Mystic Water could work too.

Hi all
I was wondering how I would go about getting a clefable with magi guard and softboiled? Its a 3rd gen move and a 4th gen ability, and softboiled cannot be bred. Yet according to smogon it can have both, how is this possible?

 

[devilicious]

When you evolve a Pal Parked Pokémon, it has a 50% chance of changing its ability [if it got a new one on DP].

 

[El Gofre]

Aha, thankyou very much :)

 

[The Hero Without a Name]

I honestly can't, for the life of me, figure out why Jolteon's considered an OU... How do people use him? And what moves do they stick on him?

 

[devilicious]

It's one of the fastest Substitute, Agility [only loses to Ninjask] and Charge Beam boosts [definately fastest] passer in the game. Not to mention a great Special Attack and incredible Speed. People go with Baton Pass and Sub most of the time, but you may see some Specs sets around.

I don't see why it wouldn't be considered OU. Do you hold something against Jolteon?

 

[The Hero Without a Name]

oh. I see now... I just read somewhere it was used as a "starting" pokemon, and I was like... "wait, what?" But now, no ****ing wonder he's OU...

 

[Angelic Diablo]

I think the set is

Jolteon@Leftovers
Timid Nature
EVs: 252 Spd, 252 Sp Atk, 6 HP
-Substitute
-Baton Pass
-Agility/HP Ice
-Thunderbolt/Charge Beam

 

[The Hero Without a Name]

Just wondering... what's HP Ice?

 

[airconditioning]

HP stands for Hidden Power. Ice is the Hidden Power type.

 

[The Hero Without a Name]

Ah.

Another one: how do you get a Blissey with Seismic Toss, besides transferring one from 3rd gen?

Not possible. You need to use the Move Tutor.
