How much speed does Para lower?

[Hippo]

Yeah... Super newb question, but I never knew for sure, and now i need to know =P

Its para a -1 or -2 speed? I always thought -2, but I don't know for sure...

Thanks!

In levels: -6.
In other terms: Original Speed / 4.

Holy crap.
Are you for serious?

Maybe Slowbro has a spot in my team after all.... he isn't THAT slow looking at 1/4 speed.

 

[DDBoahTar]

Yes, I am for serious. :p

That's why Paralysis pwns.

The crippling speed is a way better effect than 50% nada because it isn't a crap shoot. On a team with Paralysis support you might want to consider Togekiss as well. He wrecks peeps when they are slower than him with the 60% Flinch rate. That would open up a slot for *Wish support or *Scheme~Passing.

How would that Slowbro look with a passed *Scheme and *Slack Off for healing.

Rhyperior with a ChoiceBand would also be deadly with Paralysis support.

LOL

I just realized I'm starting to make a *Trick Room team.

Heh, Trick Room teams look really sweet. Ramparados =D

Yeah, I'm making a flinchhax team... Definitely have Togekiss in there, hes my favorite poke from the 4th gen.
I almost did Slowbro, but...

Well, I'll post my team here.

Thanks a ton for all the help. Para is WAY better than I thought it was.
