D_A is right, the Special Attack EVs were actually to OHKO non-Yache Garchomp (because those were so common...) with Ice Beam (not like Vaporeon should be using that either). Bold with max Def always and a lot of HP always helps. I've seen some spreads with SDef EVs for SpecsTran and NP MixApe, but honestly I'd just use max Def and ~200 HP EVs. The rest should go in Speed (to beat some select walls, CB Rhyperior, etc.) or Special Defense. Vaporeon really isn't very hard to EV.

I'm looking for a good pokemon to round out my team. Currently:
Aerodactyl lvl 61
Empoleon lvl 60
Tyranitar lvl 61
Garchomp lvl 68
Venusaur lvl 59

I was thinking about adding an electric type, but I can teach my tyranitar thunder. Any help for the missing poke would be appreciated.

Thunder's accuracy is cut in Sandstorm. So that's a bad move.

Would any of you guys recommend the use of SunnyPluff...
Jumpluff @ Heat Rock
Jolly
252 HP/4 DEF/252 SPD
U-Turn
Sunny Day
Sleep Powder
Encore
...for use on my Sunny Day team? He's the best one I can think of off the top of my head atm.


Fun fact of the week: Did you know that with 252 SpD EVs, Bold Cloyster's SpD increases by 50%?

Greatest regret in Platinum: Selling almost all of my Star Pieces.

THIS IS ANNOYING DON'T DO IT


The first one can use Trick over Recover and a Choice Item with a Modest or Timid Nature.

And wait, if you copied them from Smogon, why aren't you using what they gave you. That's what we used.

I've never seen a Golduck used as a Physical attacker. I'd suggest a mixed attacker instead because he can operate efficiently in OU battles. Go with Focus for Subpunching, and throw in Leftovers for that Sub. But still, I strongly suggest a mixed attacker if you are competing in OU.

So by 'Focus' do you mean Focus Blast?
So by 'mixed' does Golduck want Surf?

EDIT: Yeah, the Cross Chop was an Egg Move thing anyway...

So Waterfall, Substitute, Focus Punch & ZenButt? With a Leftovers?
I don't really 'know' these things.

For Golduck, if you're going to use it in the standard tier, you're going to need Cross Chop, but try this.

[email protected] Orb
Mild, Cloud Nine
104atk/252sp.atk/152 speed

Cross Chop
Surf/Hydro Pump
Ice Beam
HP Electric/Hypnosis

This is your best bet. If you can't get Hidden Power, just pop in Hypnosis to put an expected counter to sleep.

This is for Diamond/Pearl, where Hypnosis is actually rather accurate.

By Focus, I mean Focus Punch... you asked it yourself.

By mixed, I mean:


Golduck
Leftovers
Nature: Mild
Cloud Nine
EVs: 104 Atk / 252 SpA / 152 Spe

Hydro Pump
Cross Chop*
Ice Beam
HP Electric

OR you can use the Subpunching moveset as well. I all depends upon you.

My Hidden Power is Fire. Hit Iron Island Steelix for similar damage to Mud Bomb, but Mud Bomb tended to be stronger.

This is for Diamond/Pearl, where Hypnosis is actually rather accurate.
I seldom have Hypnosis. Sleep Powder, Spore, and Dark Void are my sleep choices.

But I dunno if Dark Void is OU viable (Double Battle Smeargle lulz)

I'd go with this rather than anything else.
Ice beam for grass types, surf/hydro for STAB, CChop for coverage, Hypnosis for everything else.

If this is D/P then Hypnosis's accuracy is nearly on par with Sleep Powder :/
Stick with HP Electric else you'll never get past Gyarados.
Go with Mild nature, Golduck needs the extra power.
I agree.

And to punch extra dents, Life Orb is a choice, but Leftovers is your best bet.

Okay, my little brother got his petty revenge on me a while back and deleted my diamond save, so Ive finally decided to start again. And it's been that long that I've entirely forgotten about movesets, so yeah ... Ive checked serebii for the stats and know about EVs still, though.
Team planned,
Weavile
Scizor
Blissey
Dugtrio
Gengar
Lucario
Just a good ol' fashioned head-on attacking team, basically. Please review and help with movesets please =3
I'm willing to change anything in there.

Is this a good move set for a Poliwrath?
Blizzard
Body slam
Earthquake
Hydro pump
My poliwrath is best in hp + atk.
P.S. I know this isn't related but he's Shiny! I just wanted to brag! =)
There is alot wrong with that set.

Hey guys. Decided to make a UU team for no apparent reason.
This is what I have so far:

[email protected] Ball
Timid
Klutz
236 HP / 164 Def / 108 Spe
Baton Pass
Agility
Magic Coat
Switcheroo

Baton Passing Agility is for my Marowak that I will post below. Switcheroo an Iron Ball onto levitating/ghosts to make them vulnerable to EQ.

[email protected] Club
Adamant
Rock Head
4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Swords Dance
EarthQuake
Double-Edge
Fire Punch

Swords Dance might be overkill anyway, but it can come in handy. Marowak's speed can be helped with Lopunny's Agility and Baton Pass.

Now, I don't know much about Competitive Battling; but I thought I'd give it a try.
First of all, is this even a good strategy?
Second, what should I build around these two with?

@ .Sublime

As a suggestion...Maybe a lagging tail on Lopunny would work better as you're not going to be seeing Levitate/Flyers all the time...Just a suggestion.

Anyway...What EVs are best for a Scarf Infernape with this set:

Infernape @ Choice Scarf

-Overheat
-ThunderPunch
-Close Combat
-HP Ice

I was thinking:

232SpAtk/232Spe/46Atk

But...I'm not sure..What do you think? Should I change the moveset in anyway? Should I Change EVs? I'm not sure :S
