My Competitive Team
Hi. I woke up this morning and suddenly I had an urge to start competitive battling but then I thought that I'm actually running to a battlefield with random pokemon that I like having and actually not thinking about it. So what I want is help from you guys so that I can learn more about these things. Like: Things to keep in mind, Meta(what is good and what is not), items to be held.
Hope you guys can help me. |
PokeCommunity has some good resources here: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=305535#resources
And this page is helpful as well: http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?499840-A-basic-guide-to-EVs-IVs-and-natures If you have any more (specific) questions, feel free to ask in this thread or the Battle Center. |
To add, this thread has the current lists on what to expect in OU play: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/the-current-smogon-tier-lists.3504634/

Ok, since I already have this thread I'd put it here anyway.
My dream team will consist of : Gengar Infernape Dragonite Tyranitar Greninja Mawile Now, I need help with movesets and EV training like for Gengar what should i EV train him on? stuff like that. Pokemon suggestions would be great. Oh yeah and put Items too :D |

Thank you very much, Platinum Dude for this very detailed explanation. I tried them and they all worked great. However, I seem to be having so much luck with the Stalling Gliscor with Toxic, Sub, Protect, and EQ. I also got myself a Scizor and is also workig very well since this fairy type is a new thing to me. Added questions are: Scizorite or Life Orb? Mega Evolve Mawile or Scizor? Also, I think I'll keep Tyranitar. My Infernape has Poison Jab, should I ge another move or should I stick with it? Thanks again for the feedback. And sorry for late reply.

Thank you btw for that wonderul Gligar. I did see a vid on Utube that scizor just needs the xtra bulk on his mega to set up for his SD. I'll fix my Infernape since I accidentally captured some mons with Infer. being in my team. It got messed up on EVs. Thanks again.

Bump. I got a Shiny 5IV Eevee (thanks RNC) and I really dont know what to evolve it to. Anysuggestions would be appreciated.
|
Sylveon and Umberon are popular stallers, boasting incredible Sp. Def (Umberon also has good Def) and reliable restoration, with good movepools to chip away at the enemy. Espeon and Jolteon are notable sweepers as well. However, I can't really recommend any good sets, as I haven't gotten them. Looking up good sets on Smogon will give you some (and it's also where PD gets his info). The other evolutions aren't exactly notable, but whatever floats yer boat.

I agree that Espeon and Sylveon (and Umbreon to a lesser extent) are good choices for Eeveelutions. Not so much Jolteon. It's not so boss anymore because of its limited movepool and the weather nerf. It's best niche, while a little predictable, is as a fast Specs Thunder spammer. That doesn't work so well anymore.
Vaporeon is another good choice. It has decent mixed bulk and healing options: -Vaporeon w/Leftovers Nature: Bold Ability: Water Absorb EVs: 252 HP, 248 Defense, 8 Sp.Defense Moves: Scald, Wish, Protect, Toxic/Heal Bell And sets for Sylvie: -Sylveon w/Leftovers Nature: Bold Ability: Pixilate EVs: 252 HP, 244 Defense, 12 Speed Moves: Hyper Voice, Wish, Protect, Heal Bell/Toxic or -Sylveon w/Leftovers Nature: Modest Ability: Pixilate EVs: 252 HP, 252 Sp.Attack, 4 Defense Moves: Hyper Voice, Shadow Ball, Calm Mind, Hidden Power Fire or Ground/Psyshock |
Thank you Both for ur suggestions.
