  • I uh, don't plan on using the exact sets that would be suggested, but I need some place to start.

    Was thinking...

    With Regice's massive SP. D, I don't need to take full advantage of it by putting a full 252 on HP.

    Modest is definitely an option.
    136 HP, 136 SP Def, 252 Sp Attack, 4 Speed (Def?)

    or

    Should I go for even more Sp Def? Or Defense?
    70 HP, 252 Def, 136 Sp Attack, 28 Sp Def, 28 Speed?

    I don't even know if I did that second set right lol.

    Any items other than leftovers?

    Ice Beam, Flash Cannon/Thunderbolt, Rock Polish/Rest, Thunderwave/Toxic/Amnesia?

    I'm pretty loss on this, all help is appreciated.

  • Kangaskhan

    I have no clue is this is the right area for this, but I do seek help on my team at that.

    So recently, I got a Japanese Kangaskhan from Wonder Trade, and my friend said that it it could be used to a great advantage, but I wouldn't bother to listen.

    So can any one suggest a good set up for Kangaskhan

    How is Glaceon's Ability determined when evolving it from an Eevee?

    If the Eevee had Run Away or Adaptability, the Glaceon will have Snow Cloak. If the Eevee had Anticipation, the Glaceon will have Ice Body.

  • Mucha Lucha ! : Hawlucha .-.

    Okayy . So I've Been Making My Hawlucha As Good As I Can But I Think He Needs Help :/

    Name: Hawlucha (MUCHAA LUUUCHAA!)
    Item: Focus Sash
    Ability: Unburden
    Nature: Adamant

    Moves:
    • Swords Dance
    • Flying Press
    • Roost
    • U-Turn

    Counters:
    • Two Through Five Hit Attack Turns (i.e. Rock Blast , Icicle Spear)
    • Entry Hazards (i.e. Stealth Rocks)
    • Weather (i.e. Sandstorm , Hail)
    • Status Condition (i.e. Paralyze , Burned)
    • Pranksters Abilities ?


    - I'm Actually Thinking Of Changing "U-Turn" For "Poison Jab" Or Maybe "Roost" For "Steel Wing" .

    I Have A Question Though :

    Turn 1:

    (Hawlucha Enters Battle Against Lanturn.)
    • Lanturn Uses Thunderbolt
    • Hawlucha Hangs On In To His Focus Sash.
    (Unburden Ability Is Activated)
    • Hawlucha Uses Swords Dance

    Turn 2:
    • Hawlucha Uses Flying Press
    • Lanturn Faints .-.

    Turn 3:

    • Opponent Sends Out Regice
    • Hawlucha Uses Roost

    - Okayy , Now Here What If My Hawlucha Roosts Up To Full Health Will I Have My Focus Sash Back ? I Think I Am :/ But What I'm Really Concerned About , Is That If I Do Get To Full Health & Lets Say Regice Goes For Ice Beam & My Health Goes Back To 1 HP With That Focus Sash , Will My Unburden Ability Activate Again Which Will Double My Speed & Since I Already Have It Double Because Of Lanturn It's Quadrupled ?
     

    Nah

    You do not get your Focus Sash back if Hawlucha goes back up to full health. Once its been used up, you don't get it back until next battle.

    Also, what are the EVs on it?

    Mega evolution problems.

    I'm sorry if this sounds stupid but it's been bugging me. I keep seeing mega blaziken, mega kangaskhan, and mega gengar all over the rating battles, but I thought their mega stones were banned and could only be used in ubers? Can someone clarify this for me in case I missed something?

    I'm quite sure I knew this at some point, but I pretty much forgot everything I knew about Kyurem-B/W. Its EVs/IVs/moveset are dependent on which 'mon? I'm pretty sure it'd be Kyurem, just making sure, since Fusion Flare replacing a move or something doesn't make sense.

    Furthermore, would an AV set work?

    Kyurem-W @ Assault Vest/Choice Specs
    Ability: Turboblaze
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 Spe
    Modest/Timid
    - Draco Meteor
    - Ice Beam
    - Focus Blast
    - Fusion Flare

    - Fusion Flare

    White Kyurem takes on the IVs, EVs and nature of the original Kyurem. White Kyurem also appreciates the extra power of Choice Specs and Life Orb and the steady recovery of Leftovers. If it goes Assault Vest, then it's going to need Wish support, as with Assault Vest, it can't use Roost.

    They are banned in Smogon's standard metagame, OU, which are only rules set by a community. The official Global Battle Union follows different rules found here.

  • What's a good move set and item for a Mild Luxray with Intimidation?

    Tbh, Mild isn't exactly a good nature for Luxray to have, as it compromises Intimidate's usefulness. Once again, Poke Bank is necessary for this set to be possible:
    -Thunderbolt
    -Superpower
    -Hidden Power (Grass)
    -Volt Switch/Signal Beam
    Nature: Rash
    EVs: 60 Atk/252 SAtk/196 Spe
    Item: Life Orb
    Ability: Intimidate

    Hmm. This seems like a good set, but I am unable to use PokéBank, due to losing my Black version and selling my Black 2.
