Ah, Jynx. Might get me one. OK, how bout Energy Ball? Lest you gt stopped by Swampert. And just a question, are you using Forwarn? Both abilitties seem useless, but Forwarn might be the superior of the two.

Meh, I'm not saying change it, because they are both equally useless to me. Attract isn't used much at all in 4th gen, and people will hardly ever use it on Jynx. Forwarn is also useless, but hey, seeing their stongest move has its advanteges. Like to see if its a SpecsMences or CBmence. But I'm just trowing ideas around.

Although it might seem like a novelty set, I've had very positive experiences of using a special tanking Jynx with Wish in the 3rd generation and it might still not only be fun, but also good to use in 4th gen.

Jynx @ Leftovers
Timid/Calm Nature
EVs: 216 HP, 42 SAtk, 252 Speed

- Ice Beam / Psychic / Hidden Power [FIRE] / Focus Blast
- Wish
- Light Screen
- Lovely Kiss

Please note that the EVs are most likely off because I currently don't have access to my old Netbattle teams because I don't have the program installed.

One of the most overlooked qualities of Jynx is its base 95 Sp.Defense, which, with Light Screen support will be plenty for taking special hits. Not only that, but Jynx's Speed allows it to outrun quite many common threats and put them to sleep, giving you time to set up. Ice Beam is a nice offensive move even with light investment in Sp.Attack and will keep the Dragons away and Hidden Power [FIRE] will hurt Forretress and Skarmory. Focus Blast works for Tyranitar and Psychic is really only there for the sake of STAB and dealing a nice amount of damage to Heracross if it's brave enough to switch in on Jynx. I ran this set with Reflect support and it even took physical attacks surprisingly well despite its mediocre HP and downright bad Defense.

Yes, the set may seem random, but that's what they said about my Exeggutor with Wish, Reflect/Explosion, Leech Seed and Hidden Power [FIRE]. And yes, I loved experimenting with Wish back in 3rd gen.

yeah i used scarf jynx as well but the biggest problem is focus blast and energy ball were the only moves that came in handy with it, and while focus blast has a horrible accuracy, energy ball is not that strong. not only that, but mach punch and bullet punch and extremepseed do some REAL damage to it. i learned that the hard way =/

With Jynx's pathetic defense, I'm not surprised. Focus Sash maybe?

That's a little risky. It won't be coming in habdy against quite a few special attackers, but others...and then physical attackers=ouch. I guess it's your call, I've always loved lefties, but I wouldn't listen to me...
