ev training question
So my question is if you catch a hi lvl legendary pokemon for example zapdos witch is caught t at lvl 60 does it matter if you ev train it if your going to use if in the battle fronter?
|
Yes, the Effort Values will help its stats reach the maximum value, thus you will find it performs better in battles.

Breeding related opinions
Have bred for HGSS Hippopotas, egg moved. Results:
male Hippopotas (two) -revenge -slack off -curse/stockpile -stealth rock just wondering what sort of "Revenge Hippowdon" to consider out of this. Have used Curse/Revenge/Slack Off to decent success on PO's server. Am uncertain of fourth moveslot as well as whether to give different EV's, nature, and final moveslot option when I also enjoy the idea of Stockpile and Revenge. Advice appreciated. |
How would I want to go about making these pokemon I like, into a viable team:
Dragonite, Kingdra, Umbreon, Kabutops, Espeon, Gardevoir, Arcanine, Crobat, Victreebel, Cradily (favorite pokemon, any six of these would be great, but love other pokemon as well :P) My current team setup is like this: Heracross: 324 HP Attack 280 defense 201 sp attack 118 sp defense 246 speed 205 megahorn, close combat, brick break, aerial ace kingdra: 290 HP Attack 222 defense 220 sp attack 216 sp defense 272 speed 203 surf, brine, dragon pulse, ice beam Houndoom: 295 HP Attack 215 defense 151 sp attack 246 sp defense 209 speed 245 crunch, faint attack, flamethrower, shadow ball Venusaur: 310HP Attack 199 defense 221 sp attack 236 sp defense 237 speed 183 solar beam, sludge bomb, earthquake, sunny day Raichu: 257HP Attack 221 defense 153 sp attack 226 sp defense 221 speed 250 thunderbolt, iron tail, dig, quick attack Dragonite: 331HP Attack 312 defense 250 sp attack 209 sp defense 232 speed 237 Outrage, Fly, Waterfall, Fire Punch I never set up a strategy and just chose pokemon that covered a wide element type, using them all as hitters, so don't exactly have a set strategy. XD Sorry if this is not enough info and such, just trying to get a good grasp of an actual competitive team I never trained them based on IV/EV for I really just have no idea on how to go about doing so whatsoever. This is a repost since I really hadn't gotten any advice, sorry about that. |
Quote:
Kingdra practically owns with only Dragon weakness. Raichu could be a type-covering person but it's up to you to switch. Espeon would be a great choice, if you're doing WiFi battling, as it's good at Baton Passing. Teach it Psychic, Substitute, Baton Pass and Calm Mind. In the battle, the first move will be Substitute, then keep going for Calm Minds and when your Sp. Atk and Sp. Def are maxed, Baton Pass to a Special Attacker on your team and the rest is up to you to decide how to sweep to victory. Arcanine excels with Extremespeed. Houdoom can be a cover for Espeon's weakness to Psychic and Ghost. If you're in need for defensive walls, Cradily is the best for you. Or just stick to Heracross for offense. Hope I help! :) |
Quote:
Toxic or Roar > SR with Stockpile. SR doesn't fit on that set. Use Stone Edge if you use Curse. |
Okay, so are their movesets good or should I switch them up? If I use kingdra, raichu, cenusaur, arcanine, and espeon, what kind of Pokemon would I want the sixth slot to go to?
|
I have no idea how to do damage calcs, so I'm wondering if someone can help me with a strange question.
I'm wondering how much an Adamant Dewgong holding a Choice Band using Aqua Jet would do to a Hasty Heatran, and also how much that same Dewgon's Ice Shard would do to Jolly Gliscor. Thanks! :D |
Quote:
Ice Shard Vs Gliscor : 67.8% - 81.4% ^^ |

After all, who's going to see an adamant, choiced Dewgong coming? :laugh: |
I have all 3 of the shiny legendary beasts (Raikou, Entei & Suicune)
from the Gamestop events... Any recommedations of what moveset I should use with them? |
Quote:
252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 6 Hp Rash Nature - Thunderbolt - Hidden Power [Ice] - Shadow Ball - Aura Sphere Since its nature is set to Rash its better with a Scarf Revenge killing set. Entie @ Choice Band 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 6 Hp Adamant Nature - Flare Blitz - Extremespeed - Stone Edge - Return / Iron Head Physical attacker. Suicune @ Leftovers 252 Hp / 252 Def / 6 Spd Relaxed Nature - Rest - Sleep Talk - Calm Mind / Roar - Surf OR Suicune @ Leftovers 252 Hp / 252 Def / 6 Spd Relaxed Nature - Rest - Roar / Ice Beam - Calm Mind - Surf Tank. |

I'll have to think carefully on what set I like better for Suicune... |
Ok, I just wanted to ask what do you think about a physical Celebi. I looked at smogon and couldn't find a set.
I thought about swords dance, seed bomb, zen headbutt and recover/u-turn with jolly nature... |

Celebi @ Leftovers / Occa Berry 252 HP / 252 Spd / 4 Atk Jolly Nature - Swords Dance - Baton Pass - Recover / Magic Coat (gen 5, to reflect WW/Roar) / Substitute - Seed Bomb / Magic Coat / Substitute |
What are the best movesets for a lead Jirachi and Latios? Thanks for any suggestions.

Quote:
Latios @ Choice Specs Trait: Levitate EVs: 6 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Draco Meteor - Surf - Hidden Power [Fire] - Trick The feared Specs Latios. Draco Meteors destroys nearly everything, even some who resist it such as Scizor. Trick walls such as Blissey and Surf and Hidden Power Fire hit all the problematic Pokemon like Heatran, Tyranitar and Ferrothorn respectively. Latios @ Life Orb Trait: Levitate EVs: 6 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Draco Meteor - Surf - Hidden Power [Fire] - Recover / Psycho Shock Same as the above set but as a LO tank. Psycho Shock is an option for special walls. Latios @ Life Orb Trait: Levitate EVs: 6 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Calm Mind - Dragon Pulse - Surf - Recover / Hidden Power [Fire] Offensive Calm Mind. Bear in mind though without HP Fire Ferrothorn poops on you. |
What are the best places to EV-train for each stat?
They can be in Platinum or HGSS :) |
I can't seem to find it anywhere, so I'll ask here: what are some of the new and/or most popular leads in the 5th gen meta so far?
Aside from this annoying thing, or course. http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/6/6d/Spr_5b_547.png |
Well 5th gen meta its kind of hard to define anything as actual leads thanks to the annoying Wifi clause =/ but im pretty sure that Espeon, Xatu, Tyranitar, Voltorus, and Mienshao head the list.
|
I find that Erufuun hardly leads at all. I usually see what Skippy said but adding Politoed and Hippowdon.
|
Okay, I am not really knowledgable about Team set ups and things along that line, I am just now getting into the whole Wi-Fi part of Pokemon...
I like Houndoom and want to know what is the most effective moveset for my favorite Hell-Puppy. |
Basically I have only jsut got back into playing pokemon again, but have already become immediately addicted!
I have never shown an interest in playing competitively, which is why I don't play online or over WiFi, people take it too seriously me thinks lol. But I am at a point where I have never bothered facing or beaten toe battle frontier stuff, so I am in need of a team that will actually be good, also I am generally just interested to see what alterations anyone would make to my team. Gengar: Dark Pulse Shadow Ball Mean Look Confuse Ray Garchomp Dragon Rush Dragon Claw Flamethrower Surf Staraptor Aerial Ace Brave Bird Fly Close Combat Salemence Flamethrower Zen Headbut Dragon Claw Fly Raichu Thunder Quick Attack Thunderbolt Light Screen Lucario Close Combat Aura Sphere Extreme Speed Dragon Pulse I know, pretty lame huh? But they are all pokemon I like and that's all that matters to me, I don't mind suggestions for changing 1 or 2 of the pokemon, but certaintly not the whole team. It's mainly what move changes people believe I should make. Any help would be greatly appreciated ^^ |

Best General Tank/Staller?
Looking for a good general staller/tank for my team and have a few in mind, was just wondering what your opinions are?:
Dusclops: http://www.smogon.com/download/sprites/dp/356.png High Sp. Def, Def and HP Evs Toxic Rest Impison Mean Look Mean Look so they can't switch, Impison so they can't use Rest, Toxic or Mean Look Then Toxic them. They can't switch out, you keep healing with Leftover and rest Registeel: http://www.smogon.com/download/sprites/rs/379.png High HP and Sp. Def. Evs Rest Sleep Talk Toxic Sesmic Toss/Earthquake Seismic Toss is better than Earthquake, but Earthquake can be used to hit Steels and Poisons, who are immune to Toxic. Walrein: http://www.smogon.com/download/sprites/rs/365.png High Sp. Def, Def and HP Evs Rest Sleep Talk Ice Beam Toxic/Hidden Power Grass High HP means this thing never dies, Hidden Power Grass is used for other Waters. Claydol: http://www.smogon.com/download/sprites/dp/344.png High HP and Def Evs Cosmic Power Rapid Spin Psychic/EQ/Explosion Shadow Ball The only pokemon that are immune to rapid spin are ghosts, so use Shadow Ball. Blissey: http://www.smogon.com/download/sprites/dp/242.png High HP and Def Evs Aromatherapy Softboiled Sesmic Toss Thunderwave/Toxic More of a healer than a tank/staller, switch out a Sp. Attacker and use aromatherapy to heal status ailments. Softboiled for instant recovery and sesmic toss for constant damage. |
Have you tried Roobushin??
http://shaym.in/media/bw-sprites/534.png move 1: Bulk Up move 2: Mach Punch move 3: Rock Slide / Stone Edge move 4: Payback / Hammer Arm ability: Guts item: Toxic Orb evs: 120 HP | 252 Atk | 136 SpD nature: Adamant |
@above I'm pretty sure it's not 5th gen; might not even be 4th gen (Dusclops?), and Roobushin isn't really a "staller" in the sense that Magmorter asked for.
We don't know the rest of your team, so we can't exactly help you that well because we don't know what the team needs (eg. if your team is SR weak, Walrein wouldn't be too good an idea). Generally, I suppose Blissey would be the superior option. |
Ok well I'm currently putting a competative team together but have only Ev'ed two pokemon, Alakazam and Salamence, so I'm trying to work out what other pokemon I should EV up and add to my Team. Anyways, heres my two:
Salamence: (Attack Sweeper) Nature: Adamant http://www.smogon.com/download/sprites/dp/373.png 148 HP / 248 Atk / 112 Spd evs Fly Earthquake Dragon Dance Rock Slide Alakazam: (Sp. Attack Sweeper) Nature: Modest http://www.smogon.com/download/sprites/dp/65.png 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spd Psychic Grass Knot Focus Blast Shadow Ball __________________________________________- So I was thinking Of adding Chansey as a Utility/Tank and Dusclops as Tank/Staller. I'd still have two other spots for maybe an element/type advantage attacker and maybe a utility attack hybrid? not really sure, but advice would be much appreciated. :) |
Mence is banned in 4th gen, just sayin'.
Alakazam is also frail and pretty bad. You could probably put Starmie, Gengar or Togekiss over it (personally, I'd put Starmie): Starmie @ Life Orb/Choice Scarf Nature Cure // Modest 252 SpAtt/252 Spd/4 SpDef Surf Ice Beam Thunderbolt Recover/Rapid Spin/Trick For the last slot, Recover and Rapid Spin are whichever you want more for the Starmie and/or for the team (if it lacks a spinner, for example) and Trick is if you choose to Scarf it. Speaking of scarf, what are the items for your guys? |
Alakazam has choice specs, salamence just has leftovers but I could maybe give him a choice band. I might switch alakazam with Gengar, and then switch Dusclops with Milotic. I could switch Tyranitar with Salamence but what do you mean

In 4th gen, Salamence was banned to the uber tier, meaning you can't use him in standard play, just in uber tier play. If you want to play standard, you'll need to switch Mence out.
Tiers |
Ahh that sucks! :( ahh well thanks anyway, I guess I could switch him with Tyranitar or Garchomp (assuming they aren't uber rank either?)
|
Garchomp too was banned to the Uber tier, but Tyranitar is usable.

How are these pokemon natures?
How is brave nature for a squirtle? What about serious nature for a charizard? I'm going to be teaching my squirtle when he's a blastoise earthquake and some other ice move for his weaknesses. Idk what I'm going to teach charizard though so any suggestions? But I'm more interested in the natures, are these natures any good? I'm thinking of getting these two pokemon in the beginning from my SS version ( of course lvl 5)
|
Anything works for in-game play. Competitively, here's Blastoise and Charizard. You don't want Serious nature for Charizard because it's a neutral nature, meaning it does nothing for it. Try a SpA+ if you're using special attacks, Attack+ nature if you're using physical attacks, or Speed+ nature.
+Special Attack Natures: Mild (-Defense), Modest (-Attack), Quiet (-Speed), Rash (-Special Defense) +Speed Natures: Hasty (-Defense), Jolly (-Special Attack), Naive (-Special Defense), Timid (-Attack) +Attack Natures: Adamant (-Special Attack), Brave (-Speed), Lonely (-Defense), Naughty (-Special Defense) |
I'm trying to get a flawless celebi from a given nature from the guy in the shop (that event celebi) but I keep reseting my DS and I'm getting bored of it... I don't know how to RNG abuse... it's something about changing the time on my DS and getting the poke I want, right?
Could someone tell me the time I have to set to get a flawless jolly celebi? |
Quote:
Just use Pokesav and get an AR if you want one lol. Its alot easier than RNG which is a mythlol. |
Oh... I just wanted a legit one... That's a pity :(
Thanks! |
So after getting my butt kicked by DA's stall team for the first time in my life ever, as I have never once lost to him save that one time, it got me thinking.
Can a stall team work without SandStorm? |
Hail works similar to sandstorm.
Can someone tell me if traded pokemon gain more EVs than my own pokémon, plz? |
No, see, I don't really want that, either. I want to know if a stall team can be made without Sandstorm, I don't really need a replacement for it, thanks anyway.

Anyways, that would also tend to go by his ability~ If it is Guts, congrats.

Milotic Moveset...
As it says on the name, just looked on the smogon page for Milotic movesets and most of them seem to consist of getting the perfect typing for hidden power and frankly... I cant be bothered with that. So jw if anyone could give me a hand? :)

Treecko-Lonely-31 Attack Iv Steelix-Brave Slakoth-Naughty Ralts-Modest (will more than likely be doing this one next) Spiritomb-Quiet Pineco-Impish Sandshrew-Adamant- 31 Attack Iv Skarmory-Jolly Skorupi-Jolly krabby-Adamant Beldum-naughty ( main reason for this one is due to it being shiny and I feel its kinda wasted if I don't use it) any advice would be appreciated. |

Use this CM Latios set:

Which Skarmory is going to be better this Gen? Maxing out it's defense is always a good choice, but with all of these damn dragons running around (hi, Latios), would it be better to max out the special D to help take special dragon attacks better?

It just doubles the EV gain in battle, not the ones you get with proteins, calcium and those things, right? If I check the pokémon and it has a little red star over it, it means it has pokérus and it's cured? Does it double the EVs even if it's already cured? |

Wow, I thought it was pokérus XD so I have half of the EVs I calculated... f*ck!

Need Help with Battle Frontier Team
My team is nearly finished, but I still need help with moves and where to spend EV's.
Gengar @ Life Orb 252 Sp. Attack / 252 Speed / 6 HP Nature: Quiet Ability: Levitate Shadow Ball Focus Blast Sludge Bomb Psychic Crazy Speed and Special Attack combined with a vast moveset to OHKO many types of pokes. Shadow Ball and Sludge Bomb for STAB. No Thunderbolt or Dark Pulse because of other Pokemon in team. Lanturn @ Leftovers 42 HP / 156 Sp. Attack / 156 Defense / 156 Sp. Defense Nature: Mild Ability: Volt Absorb Surf / Hydro Pump (Choose One) Thunderbolt / Thunder (Choose One) Ice Beam / Blizzard (Choose One) Undecided (Maybe Thunder Wave, Confuse Ray, or Aqua Ring?) Lasts long with over 400 HP and high Defense / Sp. Defense. Can still pack a punch with high Sp. Attack and strong moves. Possible Thunder Wave to make up for the lack of speed and contribute to the team. Possible Confuse Ray or Aqua Ring to reduce hits on Lanturn or increase health regeneration each turn. Tyranitar @ Focus Sash 252 Attack / 88 HP / 84 Defense / 84 Sp. Defense Nature: Gentle Trait: Guts Earthquake Stone Edge Crunch Outrage Good HP, Defense, and Sp. Defense for more survivability while dominating others with its insane attack and powerful moves. Focus Sash to protect OHKO Fighting moves. Can't do much about the nature. Stone Edge and Crunch for STAB. Guts trait to boost attack and prevent from damaging teammates with Sandstorm. Need most help with moves and EV's. All help is appreciated! |
No, no, no. You can do much better than this.
Individual analysis: Gengar Quiet removes one big advantage of Gengar: its speed. With Quiet, you're left with a slow, frail Pokemon that will get KOed before it can launch a single attack. Timid is much better, Modest is acceptable too. Destiny Bond is a must-have, since the AI will suicide itself on Gengar. Except in the Battle Castle, where getting KOed reduces your CP earned. In that case, you shouldn't be using Gengar. Lanturn Starmie does a much better job than Lanturn due to higher Speed and Sp. Att. If you're looking for a setup sweeper, use Calm Mind Suicune. Tyranitar First off, Tyranitar's only ability is Sand Stream. Larvitar/Pupitar will change its ability when it evolves. Having 4 damaging moves warrants a Choice item. And a 4-move attacking set is not Tyranitar's best: it can use Dragon Dance too. Stone Edge has been called "the worst attack in DPP" because it misses so often. Outrage does the same damage as a STAB Crunch, so it's redundant. Stick with Crunch and Earthquake. The remaining two move slots can be Dragon Dance and Substitute/elemental punch. Lastly if you're using a Tyranitar, it'll help if you have something to take advantage of sandstorm, like Garchomp. EV wise, for sweepers or defensive setup Pokemon, use a 252/252/6 set. For Pokemon with priority moves, like Scizor, put enough speed to outrun things that need to be KOed by their non-priority moves (e.g. Scizor needs 98 Speed to outrun Heatran and OHKO with Superpower/Brick Break), and dump the rest in defenses. |

OK.
Gengar: I like his moveset but I will definitely try to get a different nature. Probably timid. Lanturn: I have Lanturn over Starmie because of its very high hp and decent defenses. Lasts alot longer than Starmie and has electric moves as well. Still need help with moves. I will change Ev's to 40 HP, 236 Defense, 236 Sp. Defense in order to keep its HP over 400 and have awesome defense. Will do much less damage though. What nature would be best for this poke? Tyranitar: Will get rid of Outrage for... idk. Still wanna keep Stone Edge because with STAB it does 150 base damage. Even with 80 Accuracy thats a ton. Still unsure of Ev's. For sure want the 252 in Attack to utilize Tyranitar's insane Attack base stat. Will try for Adamant Nature. More help needed. And is this a bit better? |
You are using Lanturn for attacking, so Speed and Special Attack are more important than defenses. Starmie also learns Surf, Ice Beam and Thunderbolt, and with higher Speed and Sp. Att it's the far superior choice.
For Tyranitar, Crunch is already very good as a main attack - it's 120BP with 20% chance of "I win" (Def down usually means the next hit will KO). Stone Edge has the same average BP (150*0.8), but since it has a chance to miss it is a lot more unreliable. Either Substitute or an elemental punch would be better - Substitute protects you from status, critical hits and OHKO moves, while elemental punches provide coverage (e.g. Thunderpunch can hit Gyarados for super-effective). If you want Dragon Dance on Tyranitar you'll have to breed, but it's a very good move. Speed boosting allows you to get the drop on what would be faster, like the Gyarados mentioned earlier. If using a DD set, use Jolly with 252 in Speed and Attack. If you're using an all-out attacker, a Choice Scarf would be best, since it patches up Tyranitar's poor Speed. The last two attacks could be elemental punches. |
So I was wondering
So I was wondering how do you get a flawless pokemon or perfect IV's and EV's Im new to online pokemon and want to get all of this down.

Dragon Team
Flygon @ Life Orb
Ev's: 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 6 HP Nature: Adamant Ability: Levitate Outrage Earthquake Stone Edge Crunch Very high attack and speed combined with Life Orb OHKO a lot. Outrage because with STAB it has a base power of 180 compared to Dragon Claw's 120. Earthquake with STAB. Stone Edge because of high power and super effective against ice. Altaria @ Leftovers Ev's: 252 HP / 129 Defense / 129 Sp. Defense Nature: Bold/Calm Ability: Natural Cure Dragon Pulse Flamethrower Roost Sing Great Sp. Defense combined with good HP and Defense makes for a good wall. Roost and leftovers to increase survivability. Dragon Pulse and Flamethrower to utilize the higher Sp. Attack and deal some damage. Sing to immobilize pokes while slowly taking them out with attacks. Kingdra @ Life Orb EV's: 252 HP / 192 Sp. Attack / 64 Speed Nature: Modest Ability: Swift Swim Rain Dance Surf Draco Meteor Ice Beam Rain Dance combined with Swift Swim gives a 2x bonus to speed and a 1.5 bonus to STAB Surf. Draco Meteor with STAB gives a base damage of 210, which is enough to put a big dent in any pokemon, and Ice Beam is there to take out anything ice is special effective against. 252 Ev's in HP to give Kingdra time to throw out Rain Dance and follow it up with many attacks. Note: This team is purely for fun in the battle frontier. It is by no means a top tier team. All help is greatly appreciated. Most help is needed with Kingdra's Ev's =D |

On cart, there are two ways: 1) Create the Pokemon with Pokegen/Pokesav, then transfer it to your cart via Action Replay/GTS abuse. (However, if you're playing against someone else, please say that "I use legal hacks".) 2) Learn to RNG abuse. Details can be found here: http://www.smogon.com/ingame/rng/ With RNG abuse, the only luck-based factor is whether or not you hit your delay. Most people have a delay range of 10, and since delays are consistently odd/even, the odds of hitting your delay are about 1 in 5 or 6. The rest of RNG abuse consists solely of flipping through your Journal the correct number of times. |
