Bullet punch or Extremespeed? (Mega Luc)
Hey guys.
I'm running a physical Mega Lucario on my team, the moves so far are: Close Combat Swords Dance Crunch Right now I'm trying to decide on whether to have bullet punch or extremespeed as a priority move. They both have the same power (after adaptability). Bullet punch lets me check Mega Aerodactyl and many fairy types, but many fast pokemon resist it (starmie, talonflame, etc.). Extremespeed doesn't have that problem, but is stopped by steel, rock and ghost types. Does anyone have any suggestions? :) |

Right, I guess that makes sense. It didn't occur to me to think of it that way. I'll be going with BP then, thanks! :)

Do 31 IVs mean 31 more stat points?Do they give a big advantage?
|
Quote:
....How much of an advantage/how useful perfect IVs are is debatable. |
Been experimenting, with some success if I may add, with a Meloetta on Showdown. I've been running Assault Vest, as I'm not using a Calm Mind set or anything, and she's been tanking pretty well. But with a mixed attacking set, not really sure what EVs to run. The one's I've been running are purely random, just more Sp.ATK than ATK. I do usually have rain support, and Serene Grace Thunder is pretty deadly.
Meloetta @ Assault Vest Ability: Serene Grace EVs: 176 SAtk / 252 HP / 80 Atk Mild Nature - Close Combat - Psychic - Thunder - Relic Song |
Is a Dark Void moody Smergle common now?

Raising Vespiqueen tips?
I'm trying to raise a Vespiqueen on Pokemon Ruby Destiny - Reign of Legends, and I was wondering if anybody had some tips for me. If this helps, this is its summary.
Level: 52 Nature: Impish HP:150 Attack: 111 Defense: 135 Sp Attack: 92 Sp Defense: 126 Speed: 70 Move Set: -Destiny Bond -Hyper Beam -Toxic -Aerial Ace Thanks in advance. :) |
Quote:
Vespiquen isn't a good Pokemon because while it has good defenses, its bad defensive typing, which has common weaknesses, drags it down: -Substitute -Roost -Attack Order -Toxic Nature: Careful EVs: 248 HP/96 Def/164 Spe Item: Leftovers Ability: Pressure |
Should I use a Gyrados with Moxie, or Intimidate for standard DD Set? What Moves is he using this Gen? (not mega)
Advice on using Krookodile as a sweeper? He only gets Knock Off is Showdown so far.. but that is part of what makes him awesome! Should I just wait for Bank? |

Do people really only play by the VGC rules these days?
So, during the Gen 4 era people used to complain all the time about me having a Darkrai & Mewtwo on my team. They'd always yell things like, "LOLOLOLO YOU N00B STOP USING UBERS!!11!1!ONE!!1!1!!!" During the Gen 5 era I had pretty much had it & thought, "**** it, I'm getting rid of all the ubers on my team." Although, I should mention that during the Gen 5 era I didn't battle people I met on forums nearly as much as I did on Gen 4.
So, here's the thing. My team had no ubers on it. However, what it did have is a Land Form Shaymin & a Jirachi. While these Pokemon are not uber, they are in fact banned by the VGC rules. A few weeks ago I learned from my friend whom I was visiting that during the Gen 5 era people stop giving a **** about the Smogon rules, (which I believe the concept of ubers originated from,) & started only battling people if they followed the VGC rules. Apparently I missed all of this. So, is that true? Will people not battle me if I'm using Pokemon banned by the VGCs? Thanks, PM260 |
It depends on who you battle. Just ask people ahead of time what rules they prefer. Smogon's OU is generally the most popular, though.
|
Quick question.
Just finishing up a Noivern. Max SpA and Spe. Atm it has Frisk but I might switch the ability. Anyway I'm wondering on the moveset? D. Meteor Boomburst Taunt I can't decide between STAB Air Slash or Flamethrower for coverage. |
Quote:
-Draco Meteor -Flamethrower -Focus Blast -Switcheroo/Hurricane/U-turn Nature: Timid/Naive EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe Item: Choice Specs Ability: Frisk/Infiltrator or -Draco Meteor -Flamethrower -Focus Blast -U-turn/Roost Nature: Naive/Timid EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb Ability: Frisk/Infiltrator |
Maybe you should go with Flamethrower. It should be able to take down plenty of ice-types with that, which Noivern is four-times weak against. If you want, you could also try Roost.
Edit: Nevermind; PlatinumDude beat me to it. xD |
Nice one!
Thanks for the input. |

Are there any threads that allow member to post what state they are in and perhaps organize local competitions with real players?
|
I think you can organize that here but the thing is, there aren't that many battlers here on PC in general and to organize one on this site would be pointless in my opinion. A much more effective way to organize local competitions would be to say, create a page on facebook or a website dedicated to it, set up tourney format and prizes, and then advertise to the world, with friends helping you advertise it. If you're trying to do what Nugget Bridge does, it won't work here. Our active community is a fraction of what theirs are AND our active community is split between all battle formats while theirs is dedicated to one.
|
Thats a good idea in theory. My problem is I dont know many people that are competitive, Causal perhaps but not competitive.
|
If the prizes are good enough, it will become competitive, rather than casual. Back when I was scrambling around trying to start a league, I had people willing to help donate prizes... and people as far as Penn State willing to come play. You just need to find the right support. But seriously though, PC is not the place to focus your efforts toward grassroot tournaments. It's fine for a bit of advertising, but not a good place to put 80% of your effort into.
If I were you, I'd try to find a league around my area and pitch the idea to the league owner. If there isn't a league around me, I'd try to start one. Perhaps you'll have better luck than I did. |
Which Ability for Arcanine?
What's a more effective ABILITY for Arcanine?
I'm currently breeding to get a 6IV Growlithe, and I'm almost done. I can choose to either breed my 5IV Arcanine with a Growlithe with the missing Speed IV with either Flash Fire or Initmidate. What do you think is more useful competitively? Justified seems too much of a pain to get, so I'm not going to really bother. I put it in though, to see people's opinions. |
These are abilities not natures.
You should descus this topic in the Battle Center though. For defensive go for intimitade. For offensive go with either(minus justified) |
WOW I put nature in the title, whoops. You know when you're listening to someone speak, and sometimes you'll write or say they words they do? Was listening to a video was talking about natures...oops.
If the Battle Center is more appropriate, could a mod please move this (and change "Nature" to "Ability," in the title and poll)? edit: i cant believe how many times i wrote nature sweet jesus |
Fire attacks usually come from Fire Pokemon, who would resist flash fire boosted attacks.
Intimidate is just always a good ability, even better in doubles where both foes get hit. |
I fixed the mistake and I'm moving this over to Battle Center.
Flash Fire and Intimidate have their merits; I haven't experimented enough with Justified. |
It completely depends what role your Arcanine plays in your team. The first thing you must decide is if your Arcanine will be Offensive, Defensive or a mixture of the two. This simple breakdown usually helps me most of the time when deciding move sets and abilities.
I hope that my post didn't sound too obvious or juvenile, but I'm just sharing what makes this process less complicated for me. Here are my opinions: Offensive = Flash Fire OR Justified Defensive = Flash Fire OR Intimidate I would go with Flash Fire for Offensive IF you favor double or triple battles over single battles. Flash fire is also useful for Defensive purposes because this would give a "free" trade-in for Arcanine since it wouldn't get hurt but actually will get stronger. However, using Flash Fire for defensive is only useful if Arcanine knows moves not of it's type. If you think about it, there are many reasons to choose either ability. Just think a little bit then give it a whirl. If all else fails there's always the ability capsule :P. |

I'm thinking my Arcanine will look like this:
Adamant @ Life Orb/Leftovers - 252 Atk/252 Spe/4 HP Flare Blitz Wild Charge Extremespeed Crunch/Outrage So basically it'll be an all-out physical sweeper. I'm thinking probably Intimidate would be a little more useful, yeah? |
Alright, i have a couple questions
What is the best set for Cofagrigus? I was thinking of a bulky attacker set. Also what are good set for Weezing and Azumarill? i believe Wezzing now gets Toxic spikes, would those be worth a slot? EDIT: is Knock off worth it on a gliscor? |

Extremely gimmicky set.
Kecleon @ Life Orb Ability: Protean EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk Brave Nature (or adamant) - Fake Out - Sucker Punch - Brick Break/ Power Up Punch/ Drain Punch*(bw2 tutor) - Shadow Sneak Priority moves can make him immune to some attacks before they hit.

Solo in Competitive Play
I am trying to find a Pokémon in gen 6 that would be the most effective in competition as a solo Pokémon. Is this possible?
|
Pokemon who don't need much support are very difficult to come by. However, some Pokemon who suit that description are Genesect, Mega Lucario, Aegislash, Deoxys-S, and Mega Venusaur (reference).
|
I actually didn't think about Deoxys-S, but that may work. I could also use Mega Venusaur, but he doesn't get the best type coverage with his relatively support-based moveset. I can't use Mega Lucario, though, because my group of people competing decided that we can't use the megas that other people are using... Would Infernape work with Shadow Claw, Close Combat, Flare Blitz, and Swords Dance?

Um... Hi!
I've been doing a bunch of IV bred Pokemon, sort of forming a team with them, and I decided that I wanted a SubSeeder. I love their concept, and they are very fun to use. So... I remember hearing about how Whimsicott makes a wonderful SubSeeder, so I searched it up, and I see why now, with Prankster. But now, looking at all it's possible sets, I'm not sure if I should go with the standard SubSeed set. Any suggestions on how I should use Whimsicott? Because now I REALLY want to use one now! |
Quote:
Whimsicott is best played as a disruptor with annoying status moves: -Encore -U-turn -Memento -Switcheroo/Stun Spore/Taunt Nature: Impish EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef Item: Lagging Tail/Leftovers Ability: Prankster Even though Trevenant and Exeggutor are slow, they can utilize SubSeed viably because of Harvest: Trevenant: -Substitute -Leech Seed -Will-o-Wisp -Phantom Force Nature: Impish EVs: 252 HP/180 Def/76 Spe Item: Sitrus Berry Ability: Harvest Exeggutor: -Giga Drain -Psychic/Psyshock -Sleep Powder -Rest Nature: Modest EVs: 248 HP/176 SAtk/84 Spe Item: Lum Berry Ability: Harvest or -Substitute -Leech Seed -Psychic -Sleep Powder/Protect Nature: Bold EVs: 248 HP/176 Def/84 Spe Item: Sitrus Berry Ability: Harvest Sceptile is also one of the best SubSeeders because of its good Speed: -Substitute -Leech Seed -Giga Drain/Leaf Storm -Hidden Power (Fire)/Focus Blast Nature: Timid EVs: 4 Def/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Leftovers Ability: Overgrow Ludicolo also makes a good SubSeeder in rain (though it won't last long in X/Y): -Substitute -Leech Seed -Toxic -Scald/Ice Beam Nature: Bold EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef Item: Leftovers Ability: Rain Dish |
I need some help on a Wobbuffet set.
So far i was thinking of this: Wobbuffet Leftovers/Sitrus berry Calm 4 HP/252 Def/252 Sp.Def Encore Mirror Coat Counter Safeguard I'm not sure how effective Wobbuffet really is, but it seems like an interesting Pokemon to use |

How much do the +1 stat boosts actually give? Is it a certain percentage or a fixed number? For instance what would a +2 80 base speed state equal to?
And I was wondering the same thing with choice items as well. Never really understood how those worked, just kinda went with it. |
Quote:
+2: x2 +3: x2.5 +4: x3 +5: x3.5 +6 (max): x4 A Jolly/Timid/Hasty/Naive base 80 Speed Pokemon's maximum Speed at level 100 is 284. At +2, it would be 568. |

Thanks for the quick reply. But, I see people post that they have perfect IV pokemon. How does one know that said pokemon is perfect? I am new to the idea of leveling them as perfect IV and EV. Any info you could give on it, would be great.
|
There's a guy in the Kiloude pokemon center who you can talk to who evaluates your pokemon's IVs. If he says "Can't be better" or something like that (I forget the exact phrase), it means your 'mon has a 31 in that specific stat. If he says something like "It's terrible" or something along that vein, it means your 'mon has a 0 in that stat.
You also have the option to take your 'mon to the battle institute in that big city (I forget the name, the one that's shaped like a pokeball) and use an IV calculator to calculate your 'mon's stats at level 50. I use metalkid's calculator. IVs cannot be changed. If you get something with terrible IVs, you'll need to breed or trade for a new one. The IVs are generated once the egg shows up in the daycare man's hands or once they pop up on your screen in the wild. I'm not completely sure about the bird trio. |

Isn't Aqua Jet redudant when you already have Crabhammer? You could try another physical move instead, I think.

Other Aqua Jet users include Azumarill, Feraligatr and Samurott. They use Aqua Jet for the same reason Crawdaunt uses it. |

So, the popular Volcarona set maxes out HP and Defense. I was wandering if I should use roost, or if Chesto-Rest is still good?
Chesto-Rest would allow me to wipe of a T-wave or other bad status and heal me, which roost can't do. Obviously, roost can be popped more than once. I'm only using Volcarona for Doubles where Stealth Rock is less common. Also, recommend a Klefki set. (for doubles if there is a difference) |
Quote:
-Quiver Dance/Rage Powder/Tailwind -Bug Buzz -Heat Wave -Protect Nature: Timid EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Lum Berry/Focus Sash/Charti Berry I can't think of any doubles Klefki sets at the moment. |
You're gonna hate hearing this because this is repeated really often for doubles teams, especially for Pokemon with diverse movepools.
Klefki's role in doubles is mainly support. Its Prankster ability is the most important bit there. There is no "standard" Klefki moveset because its moveset is so diverse so it really depends on what your team needs. Also, its attack and special attack is exactly the same so you can go with either physical or special attacks. It WILL need to carry at least one attack since Klefki are prone to Taunt. I can't help you build a Klefki set without seeing the rest of your team and knowing what gives you major issues. Let me point out why. Fairy Lock blocks your opponent from switching, so you can actually get some critical kills with this move. Fairly gimmicky though. Torment stops stuff from using the same move twice. Anything choiced is essentially effed. Lots of scarfed Mamoswine around, you might wanna look into this. There's other things running around with Choice items but they are either rare or often seen carrying other items (hard to guess). Anyone with brains will switch out if they get Tormented unless they've got only 2 or less left. Recycle - gimmicky but there's some potential. Magic Room shuts down all megas for 5 turns. Charizard, Mawile, Kangaskan, and Manectric are especially crippled. Light Screen and Reflect - standard screens Safeguard - go ahead and laugh at status. Thunder Wave - status. Swagger - more status. I have no idea if most megas give you trouble, whether or not you're just plain taking too much damage, or if you find yourself crippled often. Get the point yet? |

This is for single Pokemon, btw. |
