Should Heracross be Jolly or Adamant (A guts one)?

It's fine. I love discussion, even if my own favorite generations are being scrutinized and ridiculed Lance's dragons can all be beaten by an ice/water type (Lapras for example), which, for a champion, is quite underwhelming. Wallace also suffered from this but his Pokemon were higher leveled...

My problem with that is Slugma and Magcargo aren't available until the end of the game; same goes for Hondour. And I have no idea why they did this as those were the only new fire types introduced. Magbi evolves into Magmar, which is a Gen 1 Pokemon. Growlithe and Vuplix evolve through stone...

This topic may have been posted before, and it may have been discussed to death, but I really wanted to get this off my chest. Let me start off by saying that I have played and beaten every single Pokemon games except for the spin-offs and D/P/Pt (and from what I've been hearing, I'm not missing...

Gen 3 and Gen 5 had the best soundtracks. Pretty much every track in these games were flawless and truly pushed the system's sound quality

I never understood why walls like Vaporeon and Jellicent always had to be Bold natured (well Vaporeon more). Aren't they water types, so shouldn't calm nature work better since there are more special electric and grass type attacks than physical?

First one has HP Fire, the one with 28 IV's in Speed, and the second one has HP Water...I can't really pick which one as Water will give me ground type coverage, but Fire will help with Ferrothorn

So I have two Jolteons: one with 30 SP ATK IV's and 28 Speed IV's and one with 27 SP ATK IV's and 31 Speed IV's Which one should I take? The second one has a higher HP and SP def IV's, while the first has higher defense. The first also carries HP Fire, while the second has HP Water

Well I meant when facing other Pokemon besides itself. There really aren't any other Pokes in the tier that have the same base speed stat unless there's a Dragon Dancer. ...Guess I'll have to rebreed, maybe..

I'm curious because I'm not too familiar with the metagame, but let's say you have a Jolteon with 391 speed by lvl 100 and 318 SP ATK, which is quite frail in terms of defenses. Would this really make a difference when compared to a Jolteon with 394 Speed? And if so, how much?

Yeah I figure since Jolteon dies after one psychic from an Alakazam/Espeon and a Hydro Pump from Rotom-W, and can still live a Scald from a Vaporeon, it should be just fine. Rebreeding may not be worth it

Thanks! Now Jolteon question Is a 1 IV in HP and 6 IV in SP DEF okay for Jolteon if it has 31 IV's in SP ATK and Speed? I mean either way it can't take hits well. And even with good HP and SP Def, it still gets 2HKO's correct?

Question on Poitoed Drizzle Should it have a Timid or Modest nature? Or should it be a defensive Politoed with a Bold or Calm ability? Because I want it to be part of a rain team and I need it in the lead

I have an arcanine with max attack and max speed adamant nature. Should I use Flare Blitz, Extreme Speed, Crunch, and Outrage? Or should I replace Crunch with Wild Charge? Is Wild Charge ever good for Arcanine? And it's a life orbed/Choice banded/scarfed Arcanine

Okay thanks! Now for Alakazam, I have a Timid natured one with Choice Specs with the moves Psychic, Energy Ball, Focus Blast, and Shadow Ball. It's IV's are 20 HP/20 Atk/21 Def/20 SP Atk/20 SP Def/ 31 Speed Now, should I rebreed to get a higher SP ATK (which will take a while, and is...
