Shiny Chandelure
So, I was fortunate enough to randomly come across a shiny Litwick today. So, here's what I was thinking about for it (remember, the nature/ability isn't changeable at this point):
Chandelure (F) Gentle Flame Body Balloon/Leftovers -Shadow Ball -Flamethrower -Calm Mind -Will-o-Wisp/Substitute 252 SpAtk/258 Def/SpDef (need help here) Thoughts? |
Quote:
252 Sp.Atk, 252 Speed, 4 Hp. It's pretty basic, but so's the nature and moveset. |
Well, congrats on the Shiny Litwick!! :D <33 I wish I could find one...
And sorry about the nature. D; I mean it could be worse, like Adamant, but Gentle which increases Special Def and decreases Defense isn't what any Pokemon needs. Gentle and Lax are like the two worst natures. D: Hm, this is what I reccomend. Chandelure Gentle Flame Body Balloon -Shadow Ball -Flamethrower -Calm Mind -Will-o-Wisp 252 SpAtk/252 Speed/6 SpDef Calm Mind is a lot more viable, since it's nature Increases it's already decent Special Defence and it's great. And Will-o-Wisp is great for crippling switch ins, especially since your defense is lowered. XD As a recommendation for a Team Mate, something that can Baton Pass Agility. This Shandera is very slow, compared to most of the game. |
Looking for a Kling Klang moveset / EV spread.

Actually, now that I think about it your HP will recover with Leftovers anyway, so it probably isn't necessary to be that specific :/. |
Quote:
KlingKlang Item: Leftovers/Life Orb Nature: Jolly EVs: 252 Att/ 252 Spd/ 6 HP Moveset: -Shift Gear -Gear Grind -Substitute -Return/Rock Smash It is sad when you have only one attack you can use and you are forced to resort to Return or Rock Smash. Gear Grind is an impressive STAB move, though. 100 Base Power and breaks through Substitutes. Substitute is for blocking any Thunder Waves or Will-o-wisp that try and ruin your sweep. And you will see a lot of that in UU where you will be using this guy... |

Quote:
A lot of you are saying 252 speed. Is it worth investing in speed, though? I couldn't see her really outspeeding much, so I thought that it would be better in the defenses/HP. |
Well since you seem to want to use it regardless... Chandelure has a pretty average base speed at 80, so you should actually. Max out speed, and Special attack. Your nature lowers Special defense and raises defense though, so I have no idea how that would work.

Help me with my Garchomp
Would a Naughty nature be good for a Garchomp? Or should I keep trying for Naive nature.. These are the moves I'll be teaching him. Earthquake, Ice beam, outrage, and either dragon claw or dragon rush or Draco meteor. He's also going to be holding left overs.

Quote:
Item: Leftovers/Brightpowder Nature: Jolly EVs: 252 Att / 252 Spd Moves: -Swords dance -Substitute -Dragon Claw -Earthquake This works best under an infinite sandstorm. Make use of his ability, Sand Veil, and Substitute till your opponent misses. Then boost with Swords Dance and attack attack attack. |
It is a shame that he has such a shallow movepool seeing as he is such a cool pogeymanz.

Re: Breeding Opinions
Drifloon is one of my fave Gen 4's. It worth playing GBA to get:
- Weather Ball + Body Slam babies - Body Slam + Hypnosis babies As for fifth Gen, my focus for now is with the gothy Psychic. Should I go for: - Dark Pulse + Mean Look, or just Dark Pulse? |
Just a random question. I'm thinking about training a Deerling for Sawsbuck and was wondering what moves I should use for it. I think I've got it planned out.

Swords Dance gives you much power for Horn Leech and replenishing more HP, but Substitute can block many potential KOs from Conkeldurr and Techniloom. |
Whimsicott @Leftovers
Bold Nature Trait: Prankster 12 HP / 248 Def / 248 Sp.Def - Leech Seed - Substitute - Toxic - Taunt How be this? |
Darmanitan (Sheer Force)
How dangerous would a Dramanitan be with Sheer Force, and a Life Orb?
Sheer force can negate life orbs health drain and coupled with its Base Attack, moderate speed, 30% damage boost from sheer force, and a life orb! I am not the best about stats but that sounds pretty scary. |

Please help me with my team.

I'm back again...
I have a Modest Deino, and I was trying to figure out what to do with Hydreigon - Specs, Scarf or Orb. Also, is 252/252/6 the best setup for it? Or could increasing the defences/HP slightly protect it from priority moves (mach punch, vacuum wave, ice shard)? |
I posted this in the Pokemon General simple questions thread, but it got ignored (even though it's a yes or no question pretty much :/), and I think it might fare better here.
I decided in this game I would try to EV train Pokemon and make an attempt at the metagame, but I've never done it before. I've been trying to read up on it, and wanted to make sure I was doing this right before I began. So if I want 255 in two random stats for a Pokemon, is this right? I go train my Pokemon on the one that Serebii says gives the stats, then once it gains every EV, I can Audino grind to get it to level 100. Not like I have instant access to rare candies or anything, and I'll probably be exp. sharing it until I get it high enough to not be required to. |
Use 252 on each of those two stats and 4 on another one 'cause every 4 EVs give you 1 point, and 255 can't be divided by 4.

1: Yes
2: Yes, they get the exact same EV's as the pokemon that actually battled. 3: If you can RNG breed, I suggest you try that over soft resetting for a certain IV set and natures, because you would most likely burn your month out. I could also suggest you trade for the things you need, but idk if you have the resources to do so. |
How can I get these moves ?

Is there any pokemon that can learn both stealth rocks and spikes? I really need entry hazards, and general support for my team.
Here is my team so far: Excadrill @ Smooth Rock Sand Rush, Bashful Nature 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP Earthquake Swords Dance Rock Slide Sandstorm This guy is my Sweeper. I picked him up, well because he is amazing at sweeping. I am thinking of picking up either Tyranitar or Hippowdon so I can replace Sandstorm with a more useful move. Chandelure @ BrightPowder Flash Fire, Bashful nature 252 Sp. Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP Shadow Ball Flame Burst (Flamethrower, after I get the TM) Hex (What can I change this to? It will need to be a TM) Will-O-Wisp (Thinking of changing this too. What should I put?) Chandelure basically is there for sweeping whatever Excadrill can't. However, he needs some work. Only one move is permanent, and I am at a loss for what else to put. What other moves should a sweeper know? I made the mistake of evolving him too early, because I didn't know the move tutor didn't let you learn moves from previous evolutions. Ferrothorn @ Big Root Iron Barbs, Bold Nature 252 Defense, 252 Sp Defense, 4 HP Iron Defense (Should I change this to ingrain?) Toxic Leech Seed (I chose to breed this into him rather than stealth rock/spikes, :( Power Whip Ferrothorn is my tank. I'll switch him in, use leech seed (with big root) and toxic. If the opponent is using physical moves, i use Iron Defense. If he's using special moves, I start power whipping. Normally, (especially with physical attackers) Ferrothorn can wait the battle out. All of the rest of the Pokemon are really interchangeable. I plan on hatching and EV training a Galvantula later. Is this a good idea, or bad? My main concern here was finding a pokemon with spikes and stealth rock. Support is the biggest thing missing from my team, as I have a Physical Sweeper (Excadrill) and a Sp Sweeper (Chandelure) as well as a toxic tank. Are there any more roles I need to fill? Thanks :3 |
Crustle can learn both, however you could just run this ferrothorn set:
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers Trait: Iron Barbs EVs: 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 SpD Ivs: 0 Speed Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spe) - Spikes - Leech Seed / Stealth Rock - Power Whip - Gyro Ball / Thunderwave / Protect Here is crustles too. Crustle @ Lum Berry / Custap Berry / Mental Herb Trait: Sturdy EVs: 196 HP / 252 Atk / 60 Spe Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Spikes - Stealth Rock - X-Scissor - Stone Edge / Rock Blast |
Can anyone reply me good moveset/nature/item/ability/everything for the following 5th gen pokemon?
Ferrothorn Reuniclus Golurk Accelgor Chandelure and Musharna? I mean its alot but if you can please reccomend some good moves and items and such to use! and this isn't my team i just need feedback on these pokemon. |
What would be more useful for Ferrothorn,
Spikes or Stealth Rock? |
Spikes is the standard, but some people run both.

Thats the exact same set I gave to my Haxorus xD. The only difference is that I decided to give mine Outrage instead of D. Claw for more power to take out potential threats. Get up eniugh D.

Elemence Moveset Help
Hi there. First things first, i am a noob with this competitive team stuff so please bear with me if i mess something up.
After taking a look through Smogon, i have bred and raised a Salamence with an elemental moveset in my Sapphire version, which i will import to my Diamond version and eventually Black or White whenever i get it. Anyways, here is his current moveset: Salamence Lvl. 50 Fire Blast Hydro Pump Fly (Just a filler for now, probably will replace) Dragon Claw When i was doing my best to hatch a good IVed Bagon with a preferred Nature, i had to make a decision and i ended up opting for an elemental moveset instead of the seemingly popular DDance moveset. I also messed up somewhere and never let my Elemence learn Crunch and i cannot Move Tutor it, so i need a last move for my Pokemon to learn. What would you guys recommend me to do? If you need any more info i will gladly post it. |
I need some help deciding which natures, movesets, and items to get for my team so I would like recommendations for the following :
Serperior/Overgrow Samurott/Torrent ( thinking Quiet nature ) Haxorus/Mold Breaker ( thinking Adamant nature ) Braviary/Sheer Force ( thinking Adamant nature ) Hydreigon/Levitate Reuniclus/Magic Guard ( thinking Quiet nature ) Please & thank you. |
Quote:
With regards to my team, I can't find a quick method to check the relevant IVs I want for my pokemon, so I may have to just EV train without knowing their IVs - Do you by any chance know where I could find a lv 1 Litwick, Deino andAxew with perfect/good IVs in SpAtk & Spd/Atk & Spd, so I could trade the pokemon for them. Cheers :) |
Quote:
Spoiler:
There are special oriented Hydreigon movesets, but I think a mixed attacker is just as effective and often surprising. Spoiler:
Probably best to go with the typical set for Reuniclus. Spoiler:
I am not quiet familiar with Serperior, but I have seen a few sets that seem to work. Sub-seed serperior makes use of it's bulk and speed. Spoiler:
I have never seen or used Braviary before in battles. But, if it's going to run any sort of set-up, it is going to use its best stats. Spoiler:
Samurott... Alright, I am sort of out of ideas with this one as it looks like it could use a lot of different movesets. It has roughly an average set of defences, and a slightly above average attack & SpAtk. Although, its movepool does not seem not give it up much option for a potential defensive pokemon in anyway really, but it has a great list of attacks to choose from. I'll try to make a few different movesets. Spoiler:

How often does an alright competitive team win in something like Pokemon Online?

It honestly depends on the person your battling and how good they are, I'd say an average team could get some wins but also a lot of losses.

Hey guys, I'm looking to make a Sandstorm team with the following Pokemon, unless you have some of your own to recommend:
Gliscor, U-Turning Lead. Tyranitar, the Sandstorm setter. Excadrill, the Sweeper. Ferrothorn, the Spikes/Stealth Rock setter. Chandelure/Golurk, the Ferrothorn switch-out. and Empoleon, the Semi-Wall/Sweeper. What do you think? |

And Chandelure is probably better off being switched with Balloon Heatran. Much more bulkier. |
Reuniclus and Toxic advice.
I've just started getting into the competitive battling and team-building world, and have a couple of questions that I hope someone can give help me out with.
First, I have a Reuniclus, with a typical offensive moveset: *Psychic *Focus Blast *Shadow Ball *Trick Room I was wondering if there was any benefit in having him learn RECOVER, perhaps instead of Focus Blast/Shadow Ball, to help him stay alive a bit longer and annoy oposing teams? My second question is whether or not I should have my lead pokemon learn toxic, just to cause a bit of steady damage to a foe(s) over the course of the battle? I'm not really sure if Toxic is used often in competitive battling, so am just curious as to what people think. Any help is appreciated. Cheers. |
If you ditch either of those moves, you lose coverage, so stick with that moveset.
It depends honestly, if you find it beneficial to run toxic go ahead. However, beware of taunt and some pokemon (Thundurus, Erufuun) etc. have priority taunt. |
Online help
I need help deciding on a team to get me through the game and help me beat people. All i really have is Serperior I'll tell you his stats
Serperior lvl 61 Coil Giga Drain Leaf Storm Dragon Tail any ideas to add to my team? please and thanks ~Mycooly~ |
I have some questions for more knowledgeable people.
All Questions refer to Gen V
Okay so, first question. I have a level 70 Hydreigon that I EV trained for speed and attack, but recently I had a Deino hatch from a egg and I was wondering if I should bother leveling this new Deino up and EV train it for something different. I'm a super noob at EV training by the way. Second question: What does the nature and IV's have to do with the way I should train my pokemon? And what exactly are IV's and where can I see my pokemons IV's Third: What is a good "Wall" pokemon in pokemon white? So far I have trained all my pokemon in Speed and Attack just because it was convenient. Fourth: What is the difference between a pokemons attack and special attack? Thats about it for now! Thanks in advanced to anyone who helps me out, I appreciate it! -akaKidder |
I'm not that knowledgeable so I can't help with all of these, but I'll see what I can do.
2. IVs are numbers generated whenever a Pokemon is encountered/bred that determine how high its individual stats can go. They range from 0 to 31, and each number higher than 0 is one higher that the corresponding stat will be at level 100, all else being equal. IVs of wild Pokemon are roughly randomly generated; IVs of bred Pokemon somewhat rely on those of the parents. IVs cannot be directly viewed ingame as far as I know, but there are many IV calculators available online. Generally speaking, natures and IVs give an individual Pokemon certain strengths and weaknesses that usually should be taken into account by its EV spread. For example, a Jolly Alakazam with a 31 Speed IV and 0 SpAtk IV is faster, but less strong in Sp.Atk., than a Quiet Alakazam with a 0 Speed IV and a 31 SpAtk IV. Thus, you could choose either to make the first even faster and the second even stronger through EVs, or you could try to balance things out by giving the first one SpAtk EVs and the second Speed EVs. (Though given that Alakazam isn't good at anything but Speed and SpAtk, you might as well train in both in that case. :P) 4. Attack determines how strong moves which make contact are, while Special Attack determines how strong moves which don't make contact are. Which moves are which can be found in-game on the summary screen showing the moves, and many Pokemon (but not all) generally rely on one of the two. With a few exceptions, moves which use the attacking pokemon's Attack hit the defender's Defense, while moves which use Special Attack hit Special Defense. You might want to look at the relevant Bulbapedia/Serebii pages for this stuff, as they're more detailed and coherent than I can be right now. Hope this helped. |

Split weather
Anyone ever use two weather changes in one team?
I'm trying to use sunny and rain. |
I don't know if that would be the best idea, you would virtually have to fit two different teams into one, and they are polar opposites, so I really don't think that would work.

Hexing Chandelure
http://sprites.kraftpaper.org/i/609.gif
Chandelure - The Luring Pokémon @ Leftovers 252 Sp. Atk | 252 Speed Timid Nature -- Fire Blast Hex Calm Mind Will-O-Wisp -- Strategy / Explanation Chandelure is one of the better Pokemon in Generation 5, but its Speed is lacking, so we're gonna max out his Speed EVs in order to help that; The Special Attack EVs are because this entire move set is based around its very good Special Attack stat. The strategy is rather simple, using Will-O-Wisp to burn your opponent and you use Calm Mind to "stage-up" Chandelure's already powerful Special Attack until you are ready to attack with Hex and / or Fire Blast to possibly knock out the defending Pokemon. |
Quick question.
Can I train EV train a pokemon by giving it an EXP share? I got some freshly bred pokes and it'll be very hard for the 1st couple of levels so I am wondering. Ex - I give Axew the EXP share and Serperior kills a Patrat. Will Axew get the 1 EV point? If not, can someone explain how it would work? |

Need Help Breeding
I'm trying to breed the 'perfect' Hydreigon, perfect being in my eyes. I've been reading guides on how exactly to try and go about this and it seems very complicated. I understand how to EV train and what not. I'm more curious about the IV's.
How can I get the IV's where I want them? If at all possible? Sorry if this is in the wrong area, I wasn't exactly sure where to put it. :[ |
Quote:

Quote:
|
Correct me if I am wrong please or simply confirm my math.
I am EV training my Axew using an EXP share and fighting Basculins. I did not use any vitamins so I started from 0. Basculin gives 2 EV points per kill so I would need to kill 126 Basculins to get 252 EV stat in speed, right? |
Quote:
2 + 4 = 6 x 2 = 12 x 21 = 252 (With PKRS and Anklet) If you don't have access to this stuff. It's okay. And yeah your calculations are correct. |
Even though blaziken is suspect on our server, I was wondering about its moveset anyway.
Blaziken (F) @ Life Orb Ability: Speed Boost EV: 252 Atk/ 252 Spd/ 4 Hp Jolly (+Spd/-SAtk) - Baton Pass - Sword Dance - Brick Break - Shadow Claw As a physical sweeper, does this set-up enable to effectively sweep? Or do the move changes alter its abilty to sweep? |
Quote:
TBH, my favorite set for Blaziken runs Leftovers, as well as Adamant and Protect > Baton Pass (because that's illegal haha). The two moves that you have left give perfect coverage, but they're still really weak and it won't really make an more of an effective sweep than running Flare Blitz and HJK. Remember, you do have five other team members to take out what resists Fire + Fighting. ;) |
Quote:
Thank you :) |
Yeah, what serebii says is true: With exp share, you only get the normal amount of EV's, not modified amounts.
You would have to check the trade corner. |
So I'm thinking about trying a Specs Victini set, please tell me what you think.
Victini @ Choice Specs 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Fire Blast Focus Blast Thunder Psychic |

Quote:
Quote:

Oh, so once a female has been released, the combination of baton pass and speed boost will be possible in-game. Therefore, legal. Unless proven to be banned in OU.
So once it is legal, you can run Blaziken (F) @ Life Orb Ability: Speed Boost EV: 252 Atk/ 252 Spd/ 4 Hp Jolly (+Spd/-SAtk) - Baton Pass - Sword Dance - Hi Jump Kick - Blaze Kick which gets threatened by a switch-in by chandelure, slowbro, gyarados, starmie, tentacruel, jellicent, dragonite, salamence, and [email protected] after a single sword dance. Baton pass over to Mew Mew @ Life Orb Ability: Synchonize EV: 252 Atk/ 252 Spd/ 4 Hp Jolly (+Spd/-SAtk) - Baton Pass - Swords Dance - IcePunch - ThunderPunch , then those threats to blaziken are somewhat nullifed since Mew should be able to take on those threats. |

I recently bred this amazing Larvesta (31/x/31/31/x/31), and was wondering how this set looked:
Volcarona @ Life Orb/Leftovers Flame Body Modest 252 Sp. atk / 252 Speed / 6 X ~Quiver Dance ~Firey Dance ~Bug Buzz ~Hidden Power [Dragon] My main concern is the usefulness of Hidden Power. Does Dragon work, or should I consider Hurricane, Psychic, or some other move? |
Quote:
Rock is pretty much Flying types, that will try to KO you. |
It should, but :effort
So, my main concern for running Hidden Power Dragon or Hidden Power Rock are Flying types? Mind naming some Flying Type threats I should look out for? I haven't had much experience with Gen V battling yet. |
eh, HP Rock lets you hit foe Volcorona as well as say Salamence, Dragonite (multiscale is so DAMN hard to kill) etc, while hitting Heatran for neutral. Heatran could also be covered by HP Fight (balloon tran is common as hell), or HP Ground I guess, but that leaves you open to D-nite/mence.
|
I probably wouldn't even stay in on Tran, but still, you've convinced me. Rebreed it is.

So, does anyone have anything to say about my Chandelure?
|
What's a good Pokemon to replace Reuniclus on a team, as it may be getting close to being an Uber? I'm essentially looking for something that lures Dark and Ghost types in as well as deals with Fighting types well. Psychic type is somehwta prefered, but Ghost type could work, too.

So after playing Pokemon for several years I finally decided to get into online batteling. My problem is because I don't "EV" train my Pokemon I tent to almost always lose. How do you EV train and how do you know if your EV training is going good? For example, I know that Patrats/Lilliups give you an attack bonus. I spent an hour killing these and I didn't notice no change in my Attack Stat. If anyone can help I'd truly appreciate it! :classic:
|
A good Gigalith Set?
Leadalith Nature: Brave or Adamant for more power Relaxed or Impish for more resistance Naughty or Lax could also work Ability: Sturdy Item: Rocky Helmet EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 Def Moveset: Stealth Rock Explosion Stone Edge Earthquake Strategy: Defense EVs and Sturdy ability garuntee it can set up Stealth Rock. Then, you either Explode, which will usually kill thanks to High Attack, or use Stone Edge or Earthquake (Edgequake combo). Rocky Helmet forces damage onto attacking foes, cancelling out the Sturdy ability of other pokemon. |
