i was thinking of using a choice scarf porygon-z should i run timid or modest nature

If it's Choice Scarf run Modest because Scarf boosts Speed 1.5 vs Timid nature boosting it 1.1

A quick question. If I knock out a Pokémon that usually yields 2 EVs but I have the Pokérus and also holding a Power item, how many EVs will I get for knocking one of said Pokémon.

 

[Painter]

you get 12 for doing that

Timid is actually the preferred nature so you can outspeed stuff like Adamant DD Mence after a boost and neutral natured choice scarfers with base 100 speed. A timid nature boosting the stat 1.1 is kind of irrelevant to which nature he should use with the scarf.

But, of course, if you have said threats covered, Modest is a usable nature.

Could someone hook me up with a non-Choice Rampardos set?

Rock Polish Rampardos is usually the best idea if its not Choiced.

Rampardos @ Liechi Berry/Life Orb
Adamant Nature
252 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 4 HP

Rock Polish
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Zen Headbutt/Natural Gift

Natural Gift coupled with Liechi Berry gives you a nice 80 BP Grass attack to ward off Quagsire and Gastrodon, otherwise stick with Life Orb.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I just wanted to make sure I hadn't overlooked anything. That's about the best you can do with somethign as god awful as Rampardos. Thanks for the help.

For an Anti-Lead Starmie, is it better to run Energy Ball or Grass Knot to deal with bulky waters like Swampert. Also please explain why.

Grass Knot, because Starmie doesnt get Energy Ball.

Super Fang is useless for Crobat =/ , Hypnosis , Roost , and brave bird Crobat seems quite good , could you please show me your Current moveset of your Crobat ?

It still works, I've been using it myself and it breaks walls easily. And, it isn't on the Smogon analysis because it's a HG/SS move.

 

[Dark Azelf]

No, super fang is far from useless. :/

It wrecks common switch ins to crobat.

I currently have a Sceptile using Leaf Storm, Energy Ball, Dragon Pulse, and Focus Blast. Due to Focus Blast's low accuracy, is there a viable alternative?

 

[Destinyfate]

Rules!!!

thanks For the Info Britney

You generally don't need Energy Ball and Leaf Storm on the same set unless you're running a choice specs set. Even then, your only other options for special attacks are Solar Beam or a Hidden Power, with HP Ice being your best option.

 

[Jukain-Arashi]

What would you recommend instead of Focus Blast?

 

[Valarauca]

What would you recommend instead of Focus Blast?

Sceptile really does not learn another special fighting attack, I'm not sure what your want to do with your sceptile, It seams your trying to specialize in his special moves so the other really note worthy special moves are giga drain, possibility hyper beam if he is a ingame set. Other then that, there isn't much that you can replace Focus Blast with unless you go physical with Brick Break.

 

[wolf]

Hidden Power is another option, but it probably loses on a lot of KOs so it is generally it's better to just stick with Focus Blast.

 

[Jukain-Arashi]

Thanks for the replies! I'll stay with Focus Blast.
