what would be a stronger set up (stronger as in more stats)
i have a modest charmander with an IV in att at 31 and IV in SpA at 7
should i EV train him in Att or SpA? should i go with what nature is better or with what IV is better?
Go for Special Attack, it's Special Attack stat is higher than its attack stat and the Modest nature makes up for the bad IVs.
Just dropping in to give a set for Myzou's Froslass, since no one else really has. As others have said, Froslass's best niche is on Hail Teams, laying spikes and abusing Snow Cloak, so you should always pair it with Abomasnow or Eviolite Snover.
Froslass @ Leftovers
248 HP / 228 Def / 32 Spe
Timid Nature
-Substitute
-Spikes
-Thunder Wave/Confuse Ray
-Blizzard/Ice Beam
Basically, once you get a Sub up, you hit them with your status move, so that, combined with Snowcloak, they have a very low chance to actually hit you and break through your sub. In the meantime, lay down your Spikes.
I appreciate the opinion, but apparently "Gimmick Set" means something completely different to you guys than me. I am well aware of what people usually use froslass for. I've even used her as a special sweeper before. I was asking for opinions on how to better the specific gimmick that I had decided on. I even stated it was a gimmick set, yet the first comment was that it was too gimmicky.
I don't see why I ever ask for help on these forums. Anytime I do, I get told "DON'T BE ORIGINAL! USE THIS COOKIE CUTTER SET!" and that's the end of it. -.-
Hey i have a question. If doing a double battle with a pokemon with the ability Plus and a pokemon with the ability Minus on the same team, will they get the Sp.Atk boost?
Plus: When battling with Plus or Minus, Special Attack becomes 1.5 times greater.
Minus: When battling with Plus or Minus, Special Attack becomes 1.5 times greater.

I don't want to be a cookie cutter team, which is all that gets promoted here. I want originality, and yes, that does mean using a gimmick at times. AT the same time, I also like opinions on how to better said original ideas, because even if I think something is amazing, someone else might find something I can swap to make it better - but still be in the same spirit. Not telling me to turn a gimmicky set upper into a sub spiker.
I have used it on PokemonOnline, and honestly, it is actually quite viable, as no one expects it. Due to the fact everyone, (obviously you guys) think ALL froslass can do is sub spike, they expect Swagger is the uniqueness of the set instead of thunderwave, etc, and try to set up on her, when then naturally helps me, as I just psych up those stat changes.
So I'm working on a Rain Dance Team, and I'm sneaking in a Gorebyss.
My Gorebyss will be following along the dreaded Smash Pass tactic and I do not feel bad about doing it in the least bit.
Gorebyss is focused on Defense, I do not have it's EV's set yet. But it's designed for receiving heavy hits.
My problem is trying to figure out what his last move should be.
I'm on the fence between "Ice Beam" and "Psychic" as the last move in it's set.
I think I want Psychic for all those nasty Fight types that I may have to come up against, but then again I'm also worried about dealing with Dragonite and it's Multiscale.
Can anybody tell me what would be the best move to choose for my defense heavy Smash Pass Gorebyss?
If you're so mad about needing to get a DW Gorebyss just use it without rain. Bulky Gorebyss is still good at baton passing and can semi-sweep with a simple moveset of baton pass/shell smash/surf or hydro pump/ice beam.That is so dumb, so you mean that Gorebyss is banned just because of it's ability, which is the only ability it can ever have unless I go way out of my way to get a DW Gorebyss?!?
You guys are so ban happy on this website it's obnoxious. I'm tired of this, all I know at this point is I can't play competitively with you guys unless I want to play boring pokemon.
Fine, and yes I am angry about this. I thought you guys would be fun to compete with online, that's why I joined this website to have fun and compete with you guys, but how am I supposed to have fun with you guys if all you ever do is ban everything in sight that is even slightly good?
Heck, go ahead and delete this post for derailing the thread if you want. You guys can continue being obnoxious beaurucrats as much as you want, I'm going to go try and find another website that DOESN'T BAN EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.
God, the only thing good about this site is it's trade corner. At least there people don't flame you for being new to the web site, or scream about the next set of bannings.
<bad>
"Good luck with that because every competitive site follows these rules". Imagine that!I'm going to go try and find another website that DOESN'T BAN EVERYTHING IN SIGHT
