You need sandstorm support to run shuckle at all, but I thought you hated that so I assume it's a joke?
Make sure Grumpig/Snorlax has thick fat to make up for what Fire types will do to you. Something with Flash Fire like houndoom would also be cool. |
Is this a good set for Hippowdon? It's probly not original because I've seen alot of sets here but I don't know if it works or not.
[email protected] Not sure what I want for EVs yet Lonely Nature EQ SR Slack Off -filler move-( I was thinking Toxic or Stone edge) Would curse wrok on this as the filler move? I need to know so I can rebreed |
Quote:
the filler move should be Ice Fang since it's a good Garchomp counter. |

Grumpig has either Own Tempo or Thick fat. Which seems better to you :P I had Ninetails or Arcanine for Flash Fire, I forgot Doom, another option. I have both Roserade & Plume for SP.Sweeping, so probably use Arcanine, since he's physical. I still need an all out Physical Sweeper, and a wall. Since this is a new page, I'll repost my ideas. SNOW DAY!!! ALL CLASSES CANCELED! Quote:

Seriously with a flash fire boost and houndoom, add a little choice Specs and even Blissey will get trampled. Hooray!
Also Own Tempo >>>>>>>>> Thick Fat :/ |

I'll consider it, but then I'll have three Sp.Atkers, seems a bit overkill. I do need a physical attacker, who would that be? And one more Sunny Day user resistant to Fire. Duh, probaby one who can take the hit. Possibly Grumpig. I'm thinking Forry for the wall. It's built to attract Fire moves in the sun. Or Tangrowth. |

Thats what I thought too, he was up to 8 in daycare and has an exact IV already With Hippopotas his IVs range here Hippopotas - #449 (Impish) HP: 14 - 19 Att: 16 - 18 Def: 14 - 15 SpA: 14 - 23 SpD: 30 Speed: 22 - 23 I'm getting pretty sick of running around inside the daycare so are IVs within that range usable? Ok off of Hippopotas for a sec. I'm thinking of fixxing my Shiny Staraptor to something semi-usable in competative, now I have no idea what the IVs or EVs are and its a bit too late to check but I'll post the stats for an aproxamit idea of what I'm working with Staraptor lvl 86 Lonely HP. 291 Atk. 300 Def. 134 SpA. 115 SpD. 117 Sp. 233 I want a wierd moveset to throw my opponents off so: Endure Endeaver Quick Attack/Close Combat Roost >_> I know it's pretty dumb but does this stand a chance of working, even as a cheap KO just to be taken out herself? I can probly get ahold of the EV reducing berries or is it just not worth it as this point? After that set I'll probly just use Brave Bird Close Combat Roost Filler |
Arceus Question
I'm not sure if this goes here, but I'll ask anyway. My question is about Arceus. I know it's illegal, but let's hypothetically say it wasn't. A Timid Arceus with 252 EVs on Speed will have a final Speed of 372. If you had a Modest Arceus instead, knowing there was no way to outspeed a Timid one, would you necessarily need the full 252 EVs on Speed, or could you donate more than 4 EVs to HP? For those who don't know, 252 EVs on Speed for a Modest Arceus would result in a Speed of 339. All stats assume an IV of 31.
Below is what Smogon says about the Arceus moveset I had in mind, which is basically a Calm Mind special sweeper. Spoiler:
|
You still want the modest one to be fast to outspeed other pokemon besides timid arrceus in order to sweep :/

final arangements before i start battling battle tower =)
my three pokemon are... espeon dragonite haven't decided on third one thinking about - lucario/umbreon/t-tar/gallade/flareon so which one? |

Unfortunately the most common arceus form out there is the extremekiller. This beast destroys half the uber metagame. Whether you're running timid or not, this is likely to run you through: [email protected] Adamant 252Att/252HP/4Spd Swords Dance Extremespeed Night Slash Reover Like i says, this thing destorys most of the uber metagame. STABed extremespeed that has priority isn't gonna give the more fragile sweepers (Eg deoxys A) a chance to breath. If it gets a swords dance in front of it then not much is gonna stop it. In conclusion, I wouldnt worry about giving your arceus Max speed. Even with the exception other arcei (This set or merely a good nature) there are faster things out there, like scarfquaza and max speed deoxys-A. Arceus is undobtedly a great pokemon, but it fills better roles than special-sweeping. As an example, Steel form arceus with a tanking EV set can stall extremekiller so long as it doesnt have a swords dance behind it. Mewtwo is in my opinion the king of uber special sweepers, (It would be deoxys A but he's better suited to a mixed set) Hope i helped, if this is too waffly PM me and ill answer any other questions you have :) |
this is offtopic however...
when chaining people use max repels, but if i'm trying to get dittos, do i still use max repels? |
If the levels of the Dittos are higher than regular Pokemon, yes. Just make sure your lead Pokemon is higher level than regular Pokemon, but lower than Dittos.
Of course, catching Dittos is best when done in Emerald. You should really go for that. |
in diamond the dittos are the same lvl as the noprmal pokmeons

Use Max Repel. Once you get a Ditto, chaining them it doesn't matter if you have Max Repel or not, they will still appear using the Pokeradar, and that way you don't break your chain by running into a wild pokemon before your ditto patch.
