Light Ball doubles both Attack and SpA ._. And Pikachu's attack stat is 5 points higher than its SpA ._.
Regardless I would recommend the Mixed Sweeper set. Always use +Speed because Pikachu needs all the speed it can get. Sub/Encore is pretty meh, the stuff that would try to status you would be either faster or would switch out, Dusknoir is also a special case considering it gets Shadow Sneak. |

A team with every poke all round phails to teams with specialized pokes. |
Well, i was looking at Crawdaunts stats and it looks as though it has the good offensive capabilities to be a sort of mix sweeper so to speak..
[email protected] Orb 252 ATT / 70 SP.ATT / 188 SPEED Naughty Nature Trait : Hyper Cutter - Ice Beam - Crunch - Surf - Super Power This spread 2hko's(53% minimum) max hp / min sp.def neutral Skarmory with surf, OHKO'S Garchomp with Ice Beam, Does 89.92% - 105.74% to max hp / max def bold blissey with super power and 2hko's all max hp and max def Celebi, Cresselia and Dusknoir with Crunch =D (By 2hko, i mean doesnt just scrape 2hko's, i mean really REALLY dents them). It even does 50.33% - 59.21% to Max hp / 100 def neutral spiritomb with Crunch. Main issue is its ass speed, 193 isnt enough =[, but with an Agility passed to it,from say Zapdos or something, i think it will be capable of hurting ALOT of things. I was contemplating HP Grass and Electric for bulky waters namely Gyarados, and swampert, but i figured it to be pointless tbh. I also know its walled hard by swampert, Bronzong, Suicune etc, but meh... Opinions, thoughts, suggestions ? |

I've used a similar Crawdaunt on UU with Hidden Power [Grass] instead of Superpower and it worked very very well.
Agility + Petaya Pass from Masquerain = ♥ |
Quote:
Forretress is kinda in the same boat, only its recovery is horrible and it can't hurt Crawdaunt. And for the record, I agree that Hidden Power would be a rather futile attempt at "beating" bulky waters (especially those with HP electric for Gyarados). EDIT: Oh, I like the set BTW. lol |

I may possibly cut down the speed just to beat min speed Skarm and invest more in sp.att..hmmm.. |
If you don't plan on passing speed to it, I think 177 Speed is enough.
Since I was passing Agility, I went with 192 so I could outspeed Swellow after the pass. |

They're used in uber battles, but in conjuction with ubers.
Also, why would you want a Standard team with Pokémon usable in ubers if you're not going to battle ubers? |
Doesn't mean that an entire team of those guys can take on Ubers easily. It's like using UUs against an OU team- it's not impossible, but you need to be REALLY good to do it. And forgive me for being frank, but you're not giving off that 'expert battler' vibe. =/

I decided on these pokemon so far: Metagross Blissey Garchomp hmm...pehaps I should have a supportive psyically defensive pokemon, like Scizor or Forretress that can hurt the foe when needed....& desite the years I sent playing the game, I'm practially new, since i don't have anyone else in the family that liked playing the game like I do...& i'm like a prisoner in my own home...(well, prisoner is a REALLY strong word for it, but I don't what else to descibe it as...) Altough they're not used in ubers(not that it matters any, as this is a standrad field team), I was strongly considering Azelf or Gengar as my special sweeper... or I may have Porygon-Z, or even Yanmega... |
NO.
Just because it is good in ubers doesn't make it good in OU. You must completely revamp your team for uber, leaving you unable to handle OU. Shedinja is a great example. |

Anyway, I'll be using gengar as my special sweeper...still wondering what my last 2 pokemon will...I guess I'll focus on the 4 & then analze their weaknesses & cover them with the last 2... |
That's not the point he was making. The Uber Tier has a completely different metagame.
You need different EV's, movesets and etc. Just becasue something is good in OU doesn't meen it's good in UBers. Also, just because somehing is bad in OU doesn't meen it's bad in UBers. A good example is shedninja. |
I quite like shedinja but its hp makes you want to scream as it is easily downed by weather and status effects but anyway does anyone have a moveset for it please? by the way shedinja is UU right?
P.s: Sims I dont want to be seen as rude but you say balanced pokemon fail against specialists? My win record would suggest otherwise. |

As the others have said, the OUs that work out in Ubers require very different standard sets. Those standard sets don't tend to work out the best in OU. By definition of packing an interchangeable team you're going to need two different variants of the same Pokemon for general success. Which raises the question of why you're not using a seperate team altogether? |

Shedinja is BL. Buts its usable in ubers, as there are less things that kill you there, the only real Spiker in Uber are the not so common Skarmory, Forry and Deoxys Defense. Weather changers you have to fear is basically t-tar. its actually fun to switch into Kyogre and go OLOL, but be careful, some of them pack toxic just to hit sheddy. [email protected] Sash / Lum Berry Adamant Nature 252 ATT / 4 DEF / 252 SPEED - X-Scissor - Shadow Sneak - WIll-o-wisp / Toxic - Swords Dance Def evs are for if your passing it subs, and let face it, those last 4 evs havent got anywhere better to go lol. OR [email protected] Band 252 ATT / 252 SPEED / 4 DEF Adamant Nature - X-Scissor - Shadow Claw - Shadow Sneak - Aerial Ace Obligatory CB Set. Spoiler:

Just let those pokes stick to their stregnths. Don't force them to be all pound when they can't afford to be. And as Dark said, win records doesn't prove anything. I have a record 0f 35 wins, 32 losses-all from Dark Azelf. Does that mean I'm a bad player? Looks to me like it means I should battle other people :\ |
This is another episode of "Dark_Azelf tries to be creative" haha
Anyways, i noticed Lickilicky has solid base stats and thought it could be pretty tanky due to the base 110 hp / 95 def / 95 sp.def. But it does not have reliable recovery ......or does it ? Well, i noticed it gets a very special move, and is awesome, that being Wish through an event =D. So i though a decent support set would be in order to be an anti metagame poke of sorts =p [email protected] 212 HP / 220 DEF / 78 Sp.Def Relaxed Nature - Thunderpunch / Thunderbolt - Icy Wind / Knock off - Wish - Body Slam Knock Off/Icy Wind and Body Slam could screw alot of things up imo, Looks to be cool counter to Gyarados aswell hence T-Punch/Bolt. I could put some evs in att /sp.att, but meh =p Opinions etc ?? |
Wow, I never realised the fatty could do anything past rival snorlax at pie eating ;)
But yeah, that set seams quite solid (No pun intended). Wish support is always handy, as is knock-off. I wouldnt use iy wind, since it is cured by a simple switch-out, but since it's not an immediate problem it's hardly forcing a switch like status can. Since you have T-punch/Bolt for paralysis, consider explosion over body slam for a more volatile STAB move ;) |
I really really like Lickilicky, but you do know that Event-exclusive moves are getting banned, right?
Wait until we have Custap Berry available. Then I'm sure Lickilicky usage will go up. |
