Nubers without ubers are just noobs.

I have a good team except against most fire types or mewtwo

I got: weavile, sceptile, lucario, froslass, luxray, typhlosion

focusblast/most fire attacks will take out my team easily =/

so I got weavile surf, sceptile eartquake (takes out its team partner though =/), lucario nothing, froslass water pulse

(anyone know how to get weavile ice punch? it level 100 EV trained I don't wanna train it again =[ )

IIRC..

Breed a male Hitmonchan that knows Ice Punch with a female Buneary/Lopunny. Then the Buneary eggs will have Ice Punch. Then breed a male Buneary with a female Sneasel.

 

[Ichida]

Get rid of Weavile's Surf and Sceptile's Earthquake. Weavile is a physical sweeper and Sceptile is a special sweeper. Those moves won't do any decent damage.

 

[Avolition]

Wow. Just wow. Weavile learns Surf? That makes all of no sense.

 

[~Mithos~]

weavile's surf never does anything

what should I replace surf and earthquake with (I was trying to counter fire types)

also I think i'm just going to completely retrain the team for better IV's and give them to my little brother...

EDIT: EV's

 

[Ichida]

Weavile: Ice Punch, Night Slash, Aerial Ace, Brick Break

Sceptile: Energy Ball, Dragon Pulse, Focus Blast, Synthesis.

 

[~Mithos~]

ok because currently their moves stink

sceptile: leaf blade, leaf storm, detect (-_-), and earthquake

weavile: ice beam (-_-), surf (-_-), night slash (got this one), giga impact (runnin out of tm's here)

also heres stats:

sceptile
295 hp
198 def
230 sp. atk
184 sp. def
283 speed

weavile
hp. 266
attack 297 (EV trained)
def 183
sp. attack 117 -_-
sp. def 211
speed 303 (EV trained)

both at level 100 should I just scrap them and start over?

weavile can't get ice punch btw

 

[Ichida]

Neither of them look like they were EV trained. Re-breed and try it again.

 

[~Mithos~]

well most of my pokemon are like that how do I know when they are EV trained enough?

 

[Avolition]

You get the effort ribbon when you finish ev training. Otherwise, you wouldnt know.

 

[~Mithos~]

but what if your EV training in two or more stats?

 

[Ichida]

You have to, since the cap for all EVs is 510 but each stat can only max out at 255 EVs, so for full effect you need to train at least two stats.

 

[~Mithos~]

I don't understand, do you mean a stat can reach 510, but killing pokemon to get the 1,2,3,4 count where 4 equals 1, you can only get 255 of those?

 

[Avolition]

I don't really count. I just battle the right Pokemon over and over until I get the effort ribbon. I don't feel like counting.

 

[~Mithos~]

I don't count either but is that where the 252 limit comes from?

 

[Ichida]

God freaking damn, people... just read Serebii's info on EVs, carefully.

 

[Charizard_Man]

Yeah, Ichida's right. Serebii has all that information.

 

[~Mithos~]

I read it twice I still don't understand the difference between the 510/252 thing

 

[Ichida]

*sigh* Did I not say to read it, carefully? I swear, people arne't even trying...

510 is the max EVs any Pokemon can attain in total, 255 is how many EVs any one particular stat can have before it stops counting. Most people max out the EVs for two stats. 255 x2 = 510, etc etc.

 

[Avolition]

I get the 510 and 255 thing, but I'm just saying, I don't waste time counting. I just battle the right Pokemon until I can get the Effort ribbon.

 

[Ichida]

Then you'll never get it, since EVs for one stat stop at the halfway point to the Effort Ribbon.
