Don't forget Mewtwo ;)

Aero is probably the best of those mentioned to use...

Hey, when using Rare Candies, if a Pokemon has full EVs, will Rare Candies reflect this growth, or will it act as though the EVs never existed and add smaller amounts to a stat?

Unless its used VERY carefully, it could pull it off used correctly, like give it a focus sash, expect a physical move, BAM 1 HP instant KO on opponent pretty much, then next Pokemon out, better speed, EAT ENDEAVOR!

Ahem, [F]ocus Sash + [E]ndeavor + Quick [A]ttack + [R]attata, or FEAR by REAVERZ from Gamefaqs.

. Well I have actually seen FEAR in action, so I bowed to its greatness. Would love to see a PIE video though.

giving crobat whirlwind is like giving gyarados special attacks...it derives crobat of its only dominant stat-speed. I would post the set, but I simply can't recommend it. annoyer crobat fails too, so I'd use the nasty plot set. I believe it was posted a few days back in one thread...I'm too tired to think straight though.

Hmm, k.

What about a BL and below (for a BL and below meta I guess) starter and [(p)p]hazer. Bonus points if they're the same pokemon.

Pokemon that start battles hardly ever have roar :/

Blastoise is a great hazer or PHazer, not to mention rapid spinner. Anything that packs a punch early works...like a BL CBmence

I don't think you could get away with any Salamence in a BL and below battle.

No, it still depends on which Pokemon is faster.

Ninetails can learn Energy Ball through breeding, but it isn't in his TM Movepool according to serebii.net, which leads me to wonder, are you FORCED to breed Ninetails with a Smeargle to have the baby Vulpix learn Energy Ball, or can you actually teach it using the TM?

Thats one of those "Idiotic TMs" as in we still have to breed it onto it and it cant learn it by TM =/ Same thing as we still have to breed Will-o-wisp onto Ralts even though its a tm.


Anyways if you teach a male Stantler Energy Ball, it will pass on the move (Aswell as Hypnosis and Extrasensory if you wish it to do so) or Smeargle works as you said.
