Meh chainchomp fails once it's figured out, SD Yache is so much more potent.
[email protected] Berry Jolly Nature EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP -Swords Dance -Dragon Claw/Outrage -Earthquake -Substitute/Fire Fang This thing kills, Chainchomp relies on the surprise factor, then basically fails. |
Now THAT's one of the reasons I hated those Chomps. Thank you, Smogon! |

But i still don't get the answer on Q1...
Can i battle 2 graveler's to get a Def-point, or do i still need to battle 4, but get 2 Def instead of 1? And if you can, can you then battle 2x Geodude and 1x Graveler to get that EV? |
Once again, I beg the question. When one set has no single counter, why use any other set if its purely for competitive?
Does Blissey counter Shaymin-S? |
It depends on the situation. Blissey can't come in on a subbed Skymin's Seed Flare and expect to last for a very long time, especially with the Sp Defense reduction. Even if it fires back with Ice Beam or Seismic Toss, Skymin still get's another Seed Flare in after the sub is broken. Now you have Blissey below 50% with it's special defense in the dumps and Skymin has another Seed Flare loaded and ready to go.
Blissey can usually survive one Seed Flare and pose an immediate thread with Thunder Wave or Ice Beam. Scarftran is a better counter overall with it's double resistance to it's main stab. |
Most Skymin are subseed which completely counters Blissey's chances of countering Skymin.

With choice sets and sub + 3 attack sets Blissey is fine. Unless you get haxed uberly. As for Garchomp its all a matter of need SD Yache Chomp and CB Chomp may have no efficient counter but the team may require a revenge killer in which case Scarf Chomp becomes the option for you. So its pretty much what "niche" you want filled on your team. Just because one/two sets has no counters it doesnt mean his other sets are "lol im not considering this". |
The Graveler will give 2 Def EVs. You need 4 Def. EVs to get one higher defence. Kill two Gravelers and you get 4 Def EVs. That means you get one extra Def point. Understand?
For the next question: Geodude = 1 Geodude = 1 Graveler = 2 Total = 4 Then you get an extra point. It works that way. At level 100, all of your EVs will be totalled, divided by four and that amount will be added to their respective stats. Go to Serebii.net and find the EV guide in the Game Mechanics section. It'll help a lot. |

But a counter's a Poke that can come in with little risk and force the Pokemon inside out.
If there's a real risk that it'll get OHKO'd, then Scarftran isn't really a counter; he's more of a revenge killer. |
Fabian said it. Counters =/= Prediction. Counters are Pokemon that can switch in safely into another Pokemon with little to no risk. This is why Garchomp had no counters. I mean, if Counters relate to Prediction, then Garchomp would have tons of counters. If you predict an Earthquake, and a Flying Pokemon can switch in (counter?).
Prediction is still a key element in competitive battling. But what matters here is the fact that Skymin has counters or not. So take prediction out of this subject. Skymin still has no counters. |

2. As for Aron and Zubat, you harvest both of their EVs. 3. You get all 4 of the Poke's EVs, if what I'm thinking of is what you're indeed asking. 4. I'm pretty confident you would get Ditto's EVs, but not sure about this, sorry. |
If you still don't get 1 then...
Let's say you need 1 extra defence EV point, so if you killed 2 Gravallers then you would get.... Gravaler 2 + Gravaler 2 ____________ EVs 4 1 extra point. |
Hold up..i has a good question....cant a weavile with a focus sash switch in on a garchomps attack and safley ko it with ice punch next turn? isnt that techniqley a counter?
|
You can't rely on focus sash Weavile because of Stealth Rocks, Toxic Spikes, Spikes, and Sandstorm.
Also if Garchomp is holding Yache Berry, which it usually is, It won't be getting more then 60% off of Garchomp. And if Garchomp decides to switch, your left at 1% HP meaning anything will kill you and Garchomp is still a problem, and I do know that forcing a Pokemon to switch is also counted as a counter but in this case I do not see it fit. |
Oh yes...i forgot about those factors....
|
Not sure if you saw this, since I just edited it in.
