I can't really answer, I need a bit more info. Such as, has Intimidate set in or does it have absolute Atk (CB and Adamant) and what's the Gyara's EV spread?

Absolute Atk Machamo does 104.32% - 123.24% to Bulky Gyara with SE and 131.33% - 154.82% to LO Gyara.

ThunderPunch does 157.84% - 185.95% and 197.59% - 232.53% to Bulky and LO Gyara, respectively.

Normal Machamo does 131.33% - 155.42% with T-Punch to LO Gyara and 104.86% - 124.32% to Bulky ones.

SE does 70.27% - 82.70% to Bulky and 87.95% - 103.61% to LO Gyara.

I'm probably doing some unnecessary calculations. :<

Actually, that's just what I wanted. Thanks, I was trying some myself and It said like 70% or something, I knew I was doing something wrong.

So wait, do you mean by "normal machamo" = max atk machamp w/ intimidate?


ANYWAYs, is jirachi considered a better special/physical wall?

Standard "Lead" Machamp runs 160 Attack EVs, giving it a total of 369. I'm assuming that the Bulky Gyara you speak of is the 370 HP/219 Defense version.

(-1) 369 Attack Machamp's Thunder Punch vs. 370 HP/219 Defenses Gyarados: 65.95%-77.84%

With Stealth Rock up, the chance of an OHKO is only 15.38%.

(-1) 369 Attack Machamp's Stone Edge vs. 370 HP/219 Defense Gyarados: 43.78%-51.89%

Even with Stealth Rock up; it will never OHKO.


However, the Choice Band versions is very different;

(-1) 591 Attack Machamp's Thunder Punch vs. 370 HP/219 Defense Gyarados: 104.86%-124.32%

OHKO's 100% of the time.

(-1) 591 Attack Machamp's Stone Edge vs. 370 HP/216 Defense Gyarados: 69.73%-82.16%

With Stealth Rock support, it OHKO's 53.85% of the time.

Honestly, Anti-Lead Machamp does best with Payback/Ice Punch/Dynamicpunch/Substitute. Gyarados will never willingly take a Dynamicpunch, and the chances of you OHKOing isn't exactly great.

Well, I really need some more support on killing Gyarados, and I usually hate using something like Payback, because the only thing that that uses anything needing payback is Gengar or Azelf, so I'm setting up another pokemon (celebi worked great before the platinum version of scizor came out) to switch it out on, and no one predicts right at the start of the game, so I think I'm good there.

And also, I've been using the same standard pokemon movesets/evs and I've failed with it, and I need to be more adjusted to my battling style.

I honestly dont get what Anti Lead machamp acomplishes, like every lead still sets up on it apart from t-tar lol


Sub/Encore/D-Punch/ <Random Attack> is a MUCH MUCH better set. Use the standard ev's too as they allow for some endurance. Although you can use some speed evs if you want.

Nope, stone edge really doesnt warrant a moveslot, what do you need it for ? Grass Knot 2hko's Gyarados and OHKO's most Gyarados after a NP. Mence gets OHKO'd with HP ice and OHKO's with SR up with a NP Flamethrower.

I just thought just in case my IVs for Infernape wont result in Ice HP ( My infernos HP on Diamond is Bug :/)

Just what you said by that, 2HKO after the first hit gyarados could come back and hit with an Hydro Pump or something

SR is Stealth Rock, does 25% to Gyarados and Mence if they switch in. Gyarados does not EVER use Hydro Pump unless it's Specs, Waterfall from a 125 Base Atk is stronger than a Hydro Pump from 60 Base SpA

And how about Muscle Band for Starpator? Is that a little better than Choice Band, because Choice Band's Move lock effect sort-of .........turns me :/

10% boost is utter garbage, any time. Use Life Orb if you insist on versatility, gives a 30% boost at the cost of 10% HP, Staraptor isn't even meant to be bulky anyway.

meant to do this in the last post, i want my Infernape to be as mixed as a mixed sweeper can be, and i heard from other guides about wifi competitive battling, and it said that Stone Edge is a considerable move :/

Also, i still need help with choosing my last 2 Pokemon, I'm thinking i need a good Water type but the last Pokemon i don't know :/

What, you really shouldn't trust that they know what they're talking about.

Sure, Infernape can run a lot of moves, but THE BEST one runs Nasty Plot, Close Combat, Grass Knot (or HP Ice), and Flamethrower. It lets him kill off the most walls.

Waterfall is nice if you don't want to miss and only lose 10 BP... Consider LO if you want more power. I won't chance Ice Beam but if you want to keep it, chance the nature to Naive, Jolly just weakens Ice Beam. Rain Dance abuses Swift swim too btw, Crunch helps with Cresselia problems.

The EV spread really depends on if you want bulky or Choice Band Donphan. Stealth Rock is a must and so is Rapid Spin for bulky ones. CB can go Stone Edge for more coverage.
