Choose the left EVs w/ NP. 128/128/252 spreads generally fail.

This looks fine. Decide for yourself what to use.

Blissey @ Leftovers

OK.

...

Skarmory @ Leftovers

252 HP 252 DEF 6 ATK

Skarmory from Smogon is bad.

...

OK.

Hera will be ripping through this team. Skarm, Nape, and Chomp aren't weak to it, but Skarm will be 2HKOed, Nape will be OHKOed, and Chomp will prolly be OHKOed as well (by CBCross). Infernape can prolly stop CBCross, but it certainly can't switch in. Tyranitar rips through your whole team if it has Ice Beam, and the slaughter will be even worse if it's Boah. Vire will mow through your team with a Speed Boost, so make sure you don't drive it's motor.

I'm sorry if my comments suck, I'm not that good.

Phazon February 7th, 2008 5:35 PM

Gengar and Starmie are weak to Heracross?

What does Boah mean?

Thanks for Infernape and Skarmory.

I only have 1 Grass Knot TM and it's going on Infernape so Starmie can't learn it.

Which is better for Skarmory, Stealth Rock or Spikes?

Tyranitar @ Leftovers
Quiet - Sand Stream
EVs: I Forgot :(
SubPunch
Thunderbolt
Dark Pulse / Crunch

OK then, go go go T-Bolt!

Really, I'd go Spikes, but both work good; it's really up to personal preference.

Have I answered your questions?

ABYAY February 7th, 2008 6:31 PM

Actually...

[email protected] *Tyraniboah, or just known as boah*
Rash/Naughty
252HP/??? (I know 252 HP and 31 HP IVs are VITAL!)

Substitute
Focus Punch
Dark Pulse
Close Combat Ice Beam/T-bolt.

31 IVs and max HP give it 404 HP, giving it 101 HP subs. Dark Pulse and Bolt or Beam draw out Blissey, you sub up, and Focus Punch its face.

Loto February 7th, 2008 10:04 PM

On the Boah Ev spread

252 HP / 188 SAtt / 68 Sp. D

And also Quiet nature please. You wanna be slower for this set for setting up Subs / Punching. I also personally like Crunch over Dark Pulse but thats just personal preference.


Ársa February 7th, 2008 10:10 PM

Nah, DP over Crunch. (Is stronger with that EV spread.)

68 SPEED !! Its there to outspeed Blisseys t-wave, weezings will-o-wisp and get a sub up before them.

Yeah, boah will rip you to shreds and Starmie is weak to Heracross, Megahorn kills it.

Also Taunt Gyarados causes real problems if you dont run T-Bolt on Starmie.

Phazon February 8th, 2008 4:46 AM

What counters Boah?

I'll use Thunderbolt on Starmie.

What's the difference between Stealth Rock and Spikes?

Anti February 8th, 2008 1:09 PM

Really, stealing my "go go go" expression doesn't sit cool with me :/ I'm looking at you Darkknight :/

Get rid of the Smogon EV Spreads >:0 Well, I'm looking at Skarmory really. Needs a lot more Defense.

You really get obliterrated by anything that doesn't mind skarmbliss...you know, the Electivires, Infernapes, and Metal Sound Zapdos of the world.

Skarmbliss need support, otherwise they will crumble.

Phazon February 8th, 2008 2:21 PM

I was thinking of replacing Skarmory with Hippowdon. It would help with some of my weaknesses and other threats like Lucario (I think)..
