Request a Moveset / Simple Q&A / Breeding Questions

[Dark Azelf]

Wait, did it stack in 4th gen? AFAIK it just failed and you didn't lose HP either.
Though it does work through Sub now.

Yeah it stacked and increased by 25% more damage with each one you pull off.

Evs-252-Att/252-Speed/4-Hp
Earthquake/Ice Shard/Take Down/Ancient Power

Lucairo-Adamant
Evs-252-Att/252-Speed/4-Sp.D
Force Palm/Copycat/Counter/Metal Claw

Weaville-Jolly
Evs-252-Att/252-Speed/4-Hp
Metal Claw/Night Slash/Icy Wind/Beat Up

Walrein-Impish
Ev's-252-Hp/126-Def/130-Sp.D
Surf/Rest/Sleep Talk/Blizzard

Abomasnow-Adamant
Evs-252-Attack/252-Speed/4-Sp.D
Wood Hammer/Ingrain/Blizzard/??????


Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

ev training question

So my question is if you catch a hi lvl legendary pokemon for example zapdos witch is caught t at lvl 60 does it matter if you ev train it if your going to use if in the battle fronter?

 

[Detox]

Yes, the Effort Values will help its stats reach the maximum value, thus you will find it performs better in battles.

Breeding related opinions

Have bred for HGSS Hippopotas, egg moved. Results:

male Hippopotas (two)
-revenge
-slack off
-curse/stockpile
-stealth rock

just wondering what sort of "Revenge Hippowdon" to consider out of this. Have used Curse/Revenge/Slack Off to decent success on PO's server. Am uncertain of fourth moveslot as well as whether to give different EV's, nature, and final moveslot option when I also enjoy the idea of Stockpile and Revenge.

Advice appreciated.

How would I want to go about making these pokemon I like, into a viable team:

Dragonite, Kingdra, Umbreon, Kabutops, Espeon, Gardevoir, Arcanine, Crobat, Victreebel, Cradily
(favorite pokemon, any six of these would be great, but love other pokemon as well :P)

My current team setup is like this:

Heracross: 324 HP
Attack 280
defense 201
sp attack 118
sp defense 246
speed 205
megahorn, close combat, brick break, aerial ace

kingdra: 290 HP
Attack 222
defense 220
sp attack 216
sp defense 272
speed 203
surf, brine, dragon pulse, ice beam

Houndoom: 295 HP
Attack 215
defense 151
sp attack 246
sp defense 209
speed 245
crunch, faint attack, flamethrower, shadow ball

Venusaur: 310HP
Attack 199
defense 221
sp attack 236
sp defense 237
speed 183
solar beam, sludge bomb, earthquake, sunny day

Raichu: 257HP
Attack 221
defense 153
sp attack 226
sp defense 221
speed 250
thunderbolt, iron tail, dig, quick attack

Dragonite: 331HP
Attack 312
defense 250
sp attack 209
sp defense 232
speed 237
Outrage, Fly, Waterfall, Fire Punch

I never set up a strategy and just chose pokemon that covered a wide element type, using them all as hitters, so don't exactly have a set strategy. XD Sorry if this is not enough info and such, just trying to get a good grasp of an actual competitive team I never trained them based on IV/EV for I really just have no idea on how to go about doing so whatsoever. This is a repost since I really hadn't gotten any advice, sorry about that.

Kingdra, Venusaur and Raichu are a must to keep.
Kingdra practically owns with only Dragon weakness. Raichu could be a type-covering person but it's up to you to switch.
Espeon would be a great choice, if you're doing WiFi battling, as it's good at Baton Passing. Teach it Psychic, Substitute, Baton Pass and Calm Mind. In the battle, the first move will be Substitute, then keep going for Calm Minds and when your Sp. Atk and Sp. Def are maxed, Baton Pass to a Special Attacker on your team and the rest is up to you to decide how to sweep to victory.
Arcanine excels with Extremespeed. Houdoom can be a cover for Espeon's weakness to Psychic and Ghost. If you're in need for defensive walls, Cradily is the best for you. Or just stick to Heracross for offense. Hope I help! :)

Earthquake > Revenge. Revenge sucks honestly and EQ gets STAB.

Toxic or Roar > SR with Stockpile. SR doesn't fit on that set. Use Stone Edge if you use Curse.

 

[ToWriteLove]

Okay, so are their movesets good or should I switch them up? If I use kingdra, raichu, cenusaur, arcanine, and espeon, what kind of Pokemon would I want the sixth slot to go to?

 

[Human]

I have no idea how to do damage calcs, so I'm wondering if someone can help me with a strange question.

I'm wondering how much an Adamant Dewgong holding a Choice Band using Aqua Jet would do to a Hasty Heatran, and also how much that same Dewgon's Ice Shard would do to Jolly Gliscor.

Thanks! :D

Aqua Jet Vs Heatran : 47.1% - 56.3%

Ice Shard Vs Gliscor : 67.8% - 81.4%

Thank you very much. Those are pretty good numbers, especially if I have some form of entry hazards down.

After all, who's going to see an adamant, choiced Dewgong coming? :laugh:

Raikou @ Choice Scarf

Adamant Nature

- Stone Edge
- Return / Iron Head


Physical attacker.

Suicune @ Leftovers

What are the pros & cons of the 2 Suicune sets you recommeded?

 

[Dark Azelf]

Rest without Sleep Talk makes you set up fodder for 2 turns whilst the set with Sleep Talk lacks coverage basically.

Ok, thanks!
I'll have to think carefully on what set I like better for Suicune...

 

[Garrabutártulo]

Ok, I just wanted to ask what do you think about a physical Celebi. I looked at smogon and couldn't find a set.
I thought about swords dance, seed bomb, zen headbutt and recover/u-turn with jolly nature...
