Use Taunt on Aerodactyl to prevent your opponent from statusing it. Use 248 HP/252 Atk/8 SDef on Scizor to round down hazards damage. Metagross is better off with a Choice Band. Use 164 HP/252 Atk/92 Spe as the EV spread. What Pokemon does Metagross outspeed with your current spread? Any Choice Pokemon that has access to Trick should use it to cripple opposing walls. Starmie is also known for being one of the best offensive Rapid Spin users: -Hydro Pump/Surf -Psyshock/Thunderbolt -Rapid Spin/Ice Beam -Trick Nature: Timid EVs: 252 SAtk/4 SDef/252 Spe Item: Choice Specs Ability: Natural Cure I'd rather not use Thunderbolt on Gengar as Shadow Ball hits Water/Flying Pokemon hard enough already. Thunderbolt is mainly for Gyarados, but other than that, it's pointless to include: -Substitute -Shadow Ball -Focus Blast -Disable/Pain Split/Will-o-Wisp Nature: Timid EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Black Sludge/Life Orb or -Shadow Ball -Focus Blast -Hidden Power (Ice/Fire)/Taunt -Destiny Bond Nature: Timid EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Focus Sash/Life Orb/Expert Belt or -Shadow Ball -Focus Blast -Hidden Power (Fire) -Protect/Substitute Nature: Timid EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb/Black Sludge As for your last slot, I'd go with something that resists Ghost, Dark and Fire (since you're weak to those types). Hydreigon springs to mind: -Draco Meteor -Fire Blast -Superpower -Earthquake/Earth Power/Dark Pulse/Roost Nature: Rash/Mild EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb/Expert Belt or -Substitute -Dragon Pulse -Focus Blast -Fire Blast/Roost Nature: Modest EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Leftovers/Life Orb or -Draco Meteor -Fire Blast/Flamethrower -Focus Blast -U-turn/Dark Pulse Nature: Modest EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Choice Specs |

Getting into competitive Pokemon, need team help
I am wanting to get into competitive battling, but kinda want to try to use pokemon I like.
I want: Goodra Gardevoir Pinsir (mega) Delphox Venasaur Garchomp I just have no idea how to set up a team with that. You guys can substitute pokemon if you have good ideas, any are better than mine. |
Quote:
Vest Goodra @ Assault Vest Quiet 252 HP 252 SP At 4 Def Dragon Pulse Sludge Bomb Flamethrower Thunderbolt/ Anything Pulse for STAB, Sludge to cover Fairy immunity, Fire to cover Steel resistance, plus 1 move of any type to finish the set. |

Move sets would be appreciated as well. |
Question about Pumpkaboo:Which nature is the best for each form?
|
Quote:
Average: Impish/Careful Large: Impish/Careful Super: Impish/Careful/Brave |
When we say a stat is decreased/increased by 1 stage how much do we mean?

I just want to clarify something, If my Vivillon used a trapping move like Infestation, and then I switch out, will the opponent Pokemon still get trapped and get residual damage?

Need help with one of my pokemon. I've never used Haxorus before so Im kinda lost here, I don't know if this build is good or not in this Metagame. I got a reset bag so is ok if I have to EV train it again.
The set I'm currently using is. Haxorus Nature: Adamant Ability:Rivalry (will change this soon) 31/31/31/x/31/31 252 Attack/252 Speed/4 HP Item: Life Orb Moves -Dragon Claw -EQ -Poison Jab -Swords Dance |
I've used Haxorus a few times in competitive play, so I think I may be able to help you out.
Mold Breaker is the only ability Haxorus should be using, but I see you're planning to change that, so I'll just leave it be. The EV set you are currently using is the preferred set, so you're fine in that sense. Since you are using an adamant nature, I would recommend switching out Swords Dance for Dragon Dance. This way, you can get a speed boost along with the attack boost. Haxorus already has an incredibly high attack, so I don't think there should be too much of an attacking boost loss, but it is outspeed easily. Lots of dragons outspeed it and you need that speed boost if it's going to reach max potential. Life Orb is a good item, but another one to consider is leftovers. It's just a personal preference because you're already going to have a sky-high attack with one boost, so the extra bonus from Life Orb isn't going to be all that necessary. I normally use leftovers, but it's up to you. The only other thing I would consider changing is Poison Jab. Sure, it's super-effective against fairies, but not much else. I would put Iron Tail as it's also super effective against ice types. Although, with the shaky accuracy, I'll understand if you want to keep poison jab there. |
Thanks a lot, I had a feeling Dragon Dance would be better.

Meta Game?
After playing tons of MOBAs before getting back back into pokemon, and trying to play competitively now, I began to think if there was a trend for pokemon teams to follow. I understand that pokemon is 100x more complex then any MOBA out now, but I just can't help wonder if there is that ideal pattern. Albeit that I'm actually quite new to competitive play, so I really wanted to get some answers before investing time on a team.
