Choice Specs Dialga = win

Dialga@Choice Specs
Modest Nature
224 HP / 252 Sp.A / 32 Speed
~ Draco Meteor
~ Overheat / Dragon Pulse
~ Aura Sphere
~ Thunder / Dragon Pulse

As for EVs, the 32 Speed lets Dialga outrun maximum Speed Adamant Tyranitar and all Pokémon attempting to exceed that by 1 or 2 points, which encompasses essentially all the 90 base Speed Pokémon in Ubers.


A draco meteor from this is one of most powerful sp.attacks in the game, it way way way surpasses Specsmence.

That's kinda obvious since it's in a higher tier then Salamence / Specsmence.

How many good Special Walls are there? I know Blissey and Regice, but is there anyone else who can take a Special hit?

 

[El Gofre]

I've used registeel to great effect, base 150 in both defences iirc
Off the top of my head, there's Zong, aritcuno, Noir. There's a fair few, but they get lost in the shadow of the pink blob lol

 

[airconditioning]

Aren't Zong and Dusknoir both mixed walls? I understand that both focus a bit more on SDef, but they seem to be more mixed.

 

[Anti]

Even with max HP/SDef Bronzong is a pretty bad special wall IMO. Gets run over too easily...

 

[Red X]

So here what I'm thinking for Skarmory?

Skarmory@Lefties
Impish
252HP/216 Def/40atk)

Drill Peck
Roost
Whirlwind
Spikes

I need a physical wall, that has just just enough to attack to take out weaken pokemon.

Thoughts?

EV's are more like 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 Att. Or Dark Azelf's spread, PM him for it. Moveset is fine.

 

[Angelic Diablo]

Consider Brave Bird over Drill Peck... Otherwise Gyara just laughs and DDs

 

[El Gofre]

Skarmorys rarely run max def, base 140 is huge already. 212Def/44Att is what I run.
And yeah, BB over drill peck. The difference in damage is massive and you can roost off the recoil.

 

[Dark Azelf]

Skarmory@Shed Shell / Leftovers
252 HP / 16 ATT / 200 DEF / 40 Sp.Def
Impish nature
- Brave Bird / Drill Peck
- Spikes / Stealth Rock
- Whirlwind
- Roost

Yeah... i like having some sp.def, you sometimes have to take random sp.hits, for example DD mences Flamethrower.

SR or spikes depends on your team, SR hurts Mence and Gyarados whilst spikes is useful otherwise.

Shed Shell allows you to escape that idiot Magnezones Magnet Pull.

Drill Peck may be more defensive and the recoil of Brave Bird may put you off, but BB ohkos incoming Infernape which Drill peck will fail to do and puts HUGE dents into most other things, for example gyarados.

If I use Tentacruel as a special wall, and not as a lead, would it be useful to still set up Toxic Spikes etc?

Tenta is god, and a great mixape counter i might add.

Hehe, no worries, just had to be sure it wasn't Modest or Bold or something before I went ahead with it. Thanks, though.

 

[Morph]

IV set? I don't get it. Just aim for the best IVs. I'd focus on Special Defense and Special Attack.
