Who's a better staller for my team, Articuno or Moltres?

Uxie (lead)
Swellow
Feraligatr
Absol
Sceptile

EDIT:
Since I'm not quite sure, how's this Dusclops set?

1Eye Freak / Dusclops @ Leftovers
252 Def, 252 Sp.def, 4 HP
+Def -Atk nature (Can't remember), Pressure ability
-Seismic Toss
-Night Shade
-Rest
-Sleep Talk

RestTalk works good on this guy. 130 base defense is a good wall there. Although it's more to the special side, I'll soon change it to more physically walling because I already have Regice on my team for that.
So this guy comes straight from ADV's OU Pokemon. Anyway, I'm thinking about replacing either Night Shade or Seismic Toss with Toxic, making walling much more effectively. The question is what is better, Night Shade or Seismic Toss?

The teammates are
Persian (lead)
Articuno
Regigigas
Cradily
Regice

Does no one have an answer to my double posted question? ;(

 

[.Aero]

So I have 2 jirachi's I have not picked up yet from the event and I wanted to make one a flinch jirachi and the other some type of sweeper. How does this look.

Nature - Impish Item - Leftovers

Iv's (Something with good Attack + def/sp def/hp)

Ev's - 252(hp), 132(Def), 124(Sp.Def)

Moveset - Cosmic Power, Wish, Iron Head, Thunder Wave

My only question is if this was to be used in uber battles (single+double) will it have a problem using cosmic power before it dies in uber fights? If so i was thinking maybe switching it to Fire Punch, Zen Headbutt, or Psychic (+ Relaxed Nature if Psychic). I don't know if the substitute for Cosmic needs to be special to give it move coverage or not.

Any help + or advice?

"32 Spe with Impish on the support set gives considerable defenses on both sides, as well as giving 244 Speed, which outpaces Timid Magnezone and Jolly Tyranitar." - Smogon.com

Do I need to add that?

Impish isn't a good nature for Jirachi as he shines more in an offensive light as opposed to a defensive. This is probably the reason no one has responded. :( Are both of your Jirachi Impish? (If they are, then I'll try and work something out for you).

 

[jirachis_best_friend]

Ahh, alrighty. An offensive Cune... what should the moveset be? I already decided against HP Rock cuz it's power's only 35 anyways =3=;;
Maybe I should use...
Surf
Ice Beam
Calm Mind
????
And what should the EVs be? And Yeah, I already saved =3=;;

So no they aren't any nature yet but if it really is a bad nature then thats why I'm posting for advice. Maybe just Adamant then for this set? Anyway still looking for any advice.

A common set for Jirachi is a Scarf Physical set, where you would want a Jolly Nature. Here's the set:

Jirachi @ Choice Scarf
Serene Grace
Jolly Nature
252 Atk/252 Spe/4 HP

• Iron Head
• Fire Punch
• Ice Punch
• U-Turn/Trick

Basically, Iron Head = STAB and Flinch Haxiness, Fire Punch helps with steels (Especially Scizor), and Ice Punch is used to revenge kill dragons (Be warned though, if Salamence gets in a DD, you're at a speed tie, so hope for the best =3). U-Turn is good for scouting, but Trick can screw over one of it's checks or counters. You can also use Thunder Punch over Ice Punch if you need to hit Gyara more than the dragons.

Offensive Suicune should always be like this.

Suicune @ Life Orb
Nature: Timid / Modest
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power (Electric) / Shadow Ball
- Calm Mind

HP Electric is pretty much needed, but only ever use Shadow Ball if you can't get the right IVs for HP Electric.

Okay, now what about MY question I've posted a couple of times now?

After reading your post, first I'd recommend going here. It seems like you need more of an introduction with competitive Pokemon and the metagame and such (Especially with most likely natures and movesets), so instead of just providing the sets, a basic understanding might help you out first.

But if you just want to skip that (And I really say not to =P), you can just go here for a list of Pokemon, which will provide you with movesets for everything.

Battle Tower Strategies/Team For 100 Wins

I am very sorry if this does not belong here, but I thought this would be the best place.

I'm working on a 100 win streak in the Battle Tower, so far the farthest I've made it is 30.

The team I've been using is;

Porygon-Z @ Sitrus Berry
Hidden Power
Thunderbolt
Tri Attack
Ice Beam

Sceptile @ Leftovers
Swords Dance
Leaf Blade
Dragon Claw
Earthquake

Yanmega @ Focus Sash
Protect
Bug Buzz
Air Slash
Psychic

I'd like to know some well balanced team suggestions that could get me to that magic 100 win streak, and perhaps even some strategies?

Thanks in advance.

1Eye Freak / Dusclops @ Leftovers
252 Def, 252 Sp.def, 4 HP
+Def -Atk nature (Can't remember), Pressure ability
-Seismic Toss
-Night Shade
-Rest
-Sleep Talk

This wants Will-o-Wisp over either Shade Or Toss or its total Pursuit bait.

Oy, thanks. I have a bit more time now to work on breeding for moves/natures now, so it'll work a bit easier for me.

 

[Lil MuDkiP849]

hey whats up S&M i just have one question-

Where could i exactly go to get help for a double battle team?(Non-battle tower...) Could i just post it for rates?? Since i know not too many people around have dabbled in doubles before...

 

[Yellowcard427]

if i use explosion while holding a focus sash, will my pokemon stay alive?

 

[Dark Azelf]

Simply put, no it wont....

 

[.тαмєя]

Could I get a decent Moveset for a Heracross please?

 

[Yellowcard427]

okay... i was just making sure before i killed myself in a match, thinking that i would survive lol. thanks

@ Choice Scarf
Trait: Guts
Nature: Adamant / Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 Def

Probably your best bet since Heracross isn't the best Pokemon. Scizor is much better. Also for future reference, you can use this site.

Does Sucker Punch hae priority over other +1 priority moves, since they are both +1?
