To Brock, go with the second one. Earth Power is special, and Rhyperior has terrible SpA.

To Peeeka, The reason they as high as they could be, is because of IVs. Those are points you can't control, so assuming you EV'd them the way you meant, those are fine. Just a few points below what they could be if you got perfect IVs.

 

[Peeeka Chooo]

So they could be better, but I can't do anything about it ? o-o
Kinda sucks ;x

Are they far behind ?

 

[darkshiek]

The few I checked are only 1-2 points off.

Quick evolution question

Hi,

If I was to EV train and raise a Haunter to lvl 100 without evolving it into Gengar, would I be able to trade that Haunter with someone to evolve it at lvl 100? Or does it become "un-evolvable" at lvl 100? >.<

Secondly, would a lvl 100 Haunter have any stat differences than a lvl 100 Gengar besides the fact that Gengar has better base stats? Like would a Gengar get a better benefit out of EV points than a Haunter would?

Sorry for the strange question, I'm just not a huge fan of Gengar but I love Haunter :)

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it does evolve @ level 100 via trade, because it works for stone pokemon.

Competitive?

Just curious, My team of favorites,

-Slowking
-Marowak
-Magmar
-Misdreavus
-Mawile
-Hitmontop

These Pokemon to me at least don't seem competitive in the slightest. I know that there are some Pokemon that just aren't made for battling, but are any of these Pokemon competition worthy? If they are how would I use them and what strengths would I play too? Just gathering outside opinions.

 

[Flare Riqueza]

Slowking is used in UU. Marowak is used in NU/UU - it has a gigantic attack stat.

Magmar needs evolving, as does Misdreavus.

Mawile...sorry, can't help you on that one.

Hitmontop is used in UU, provided it has Technician, as he is a brilliant Rapid-Spinner.

 

[Kiedyn Bmyoan]

Uh...what's UU and NU?
And what purpose does Rapid Spin have anyway?

They are tiers.

*smogon.com link removed*

Ubers : Ban List for OU
OU : Most commonly used pokes
BL : Ban List for UU
UU : Under Used pokemon and ban list for NU.
NU : Trash lol

And Rapid Spin removes, Spikes, Stealth Rock and Toxic Spikes aka common moves in competitive battling.

I'm making an Uber team, and is Arceus banned from Ubers? I wanna use the Extreme Killer set.
Also, what would be better, DD Rayquaza or SD Rayquaza? I don't want to have 2 team members relying on a 8 PP move.

 

[HunterX101]

When did Raikou get bumped up to BL?

 

[RTHookers]

Few days ago. Was voted BL by the vast majority.

Arceus is banned because it can't be EV'd legally.

DD or SD Ray Ray is whether you want to worry about Weavile/Mamoswine/anything with Ice Shard or not. DD can get you to outpace them and kill with Extremespeed before they can hit you, SD gives you a faster boost so you can do more damage faster. Basically its a matter of preference.

 

[RTHookers]

That's too bad. I wanted Deoxys-A to go onto my team but I can't cause my lead is Deoxys-S

 

[HunterX101]

What do you guys think of this Glaceon?

Glaceon@???

If it's a Calm one:

Wish



Or if you wanna go Fake Tears:

@Leftovers

Or if natures aren't set, and you can breed, go for the choice set.

Going by this:
Impish Qwilfish@Leftovers
248 HP/152 Def/104 SpD/4 Spe
- Spikes
- Pain Split
- Poison Jab
- Taunt/Aqua Jet

Any ideas for what to put instead of Pain Split, if anything?

 

[Sentuk]

Is there such thing as an item clause in competitive battling? If there was what would the rules be?

I'm debating if I should replace one of my smeargles move for substitute

It has: Spore, Belly Drum, Baton Pass, Block
yeah, block is the only one i can afford to replace with sub. I've actually never used block with my smeargle, which is why im really considering to replace it.
