    I'm not running into Chansey's, 'cause they rare. The reason I don't use HP 'cause they're sometimes unpredictable. I'll use it anyway.

    Why would he not max out his EVs and put the rest in attack? O.O

    And Fire Punch/Blast is vastly superior to Rock Slide in terms of coverage. And on top of that, Salamence outclasses DD Nite in every way, the only reason I didn't suggest that is because he said it was in-game, so anything will work really.

    • ^ reasons?
    1. Don't have the time, because I'm currently a working student.
    2. It's not in Platinum, which I'll be probably getting this X-mas
    3. Fire-Blast is more innacurate than RS, and I'm nunning out of TMs.
    4. Not against Salamence, which of course more superior than D, but less of a "tank"
    5. and I forgot it was in game lolz lolz lolz >.<

    • Is this a good Starmie replacement? I'm trying to avoid Starmie because I've used it so many times in the past, I don't want to think that it's my only good option.

    Empoleon @ Life Orb
    Modest
    Torrent
    24 HP / 252 SpA / 232 Spe
    ~ Surf / Hydro Pump
    ~ Ice Beam
    ~ Grass Knot
    ~ Agility

    Is a Naughty Infernape just as good as Naive Infernape?

    Well, Agility Empoleon is a bit different from Starmie in that you'll probably be using it more late-game sweeping. But sure, you can still use it if you like, it's a pretty effective set.

    Naive is better because you want to take advantage of Infernape's high speed. If you EV it correctly, you'll still do plenty of damage with physical attacks. Granted, if you're running a pure physical attacking set, Jolly is usually preferred, but for a mixed set, Naive is the best nature.

    • Thanks so much for your help! I'll use Empoleon. Naive Infernape it is!

    What's better for a Special Sweeping Lucario? Modest or Timid?

    **EDIT**
    I've been doing a bit more researching and I was wondering how this would be for Empoleon:

    Empoleon @ Life Orb
    Modest
    Torrent
    24 HP / 252 SpA / 232 Spe
    ~ Surf / Hydro Pump
    ~ Ice Beam
    ~ Grass Knot
    ~ Brine

    It seems reasonable to be because the Life Orb recoil will eventually get me to 50% HP which will double Brine's damage + Life Orb + Torrent.

    Also Overheat > Flamethrower on a Nasty Plot MixApe is good, right?

    Let me know what you guys think.

    You outrun Jolly Mamoswine / Dragonite, Jolly Gyarados, Adamant Electivire, Jolly Heracross / Suicune / Kingdra, Timid Rotom-A and Adamant Flygon. Might have missed some. Up to you and what fits for your team, but beating Jolly Gyarados and Timid Rotom-A is pretty nice. (b' ')b

    Brine doubles in power when the target's HP is lower than 50%.

    Definitely not, Fire Blast or Flamethrower works. Overheat lowers the user's SpA by 2, which will make you lose your Nasty Plot boost, hindering your sweep.

    There's no such thing. I only assumed that you meant Stat / IV calculator.

    Hey Im Working on A UU/NU Team and I need help making a decision on one of three Bulky Water-Types:

    A Sleep Talk D-Dance Lapras
    OR
    A Spinner Blasroise w/ Mirror Coat
    Click to expand...

    DD Gatr Seems more interesting than DD Lapras , no Fighting Weakness and higher speed .

    use Hitmontop for Spinning , you might use Lapras for other purposes

    • Anyone think that they might have a moveset for a special wall/support Wormadam?

    PokeRangerPheonix- I say the Blastoise, if you're really deadset on it. If you try Sleep Talk on a DD Lapras, that'll mean that you'll only have one attack move, and it's not hard to switch in on something that can only hit you with one type of move- 25% of the time.

    • Wormadam-S@Leftovers
    Anticipation
    Sassy Nature
    252 HP/ 128 SpD/128 Def

    • Stealth Rock
    • Toxic
    • Gyro Ball
    • Protect
    I mean, that's the only shot at any support set you're going to get. SR as fast as possible, try to Toxic/PP Stall with Protect, and use a low speed IV to power up Gyro Ball. I guess you can move some Defense EVs into Special Defense if you're more concerned about special threats.

    Something for paralysis support? You'll need to be a lot more specific than that, there are a ton of pokemon that can use Thunderwave =/
