how stronger will rapid spin be with technician

how many levels do stats drop with dropping moves? like when it says it just fell, harshly and sharply

Fall = -1
Rise = +1
Harshly / Greatly / Sharply = +/-2
Belly Drum / Anger Point (ability activation) = +6
Download has a bonus as well.

Is the PKTOPIA Pikachu Even Useable?

I'd really like to put the PKTOPIA Pikachu on my team just for gimmicky "wow" factor, but since all PKTOPIAchus are always Hardy natured, I wasn't sure if it was worth it.

Aside from the given Surf and Volt Tackle, what would be some other good moves to give it, and what would be a good EV spread?

Thanks.

hey guys i neeed help with a move se for my dragonite.
this is its current moveset:
-dragon dance
-draco meteor
-outrage
-aqua tail

its a physical sweeper so its evs are on attack and hp.
i was thinkin i replace draco meateor for fire punch to counter ice types.
let me kno yur suggestion and explanations

thanks, God Bless

Fire Punch/Blast is only good in conjunction with Earthquake, which this isn't running. Personally, I'd run this.

Dragonite @ Life Orb
Trait: Inner Focus
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk / 176 HP / 80 Spe (or alternate spread)
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage/Dragon Claw
- Aqua Tail
- Roost

The combination of Dragon + Water is only resisted by Empoleon, which gives you a nice little healing move to go along with it.

Rapid Spin becomes 60 Base Power with Technician, excluding STAB.
If a stat just falls/rises, that is one stage, whereas if it sharply rises/harshly drops, that's two stages.

So.. my friends and I are making a team of each of the seventeen types. Since i live far away from them, i got the short end of the stick and couldnt choose my choice. Now i'm stuck with either grass pokemon or bug pokemon.

So with the bug pokemon, i know three teammates i must have, Scizor, Heracross and Yanmega. Now im stuck on the the other three bug teamees since, you know, half of them suck.

If i choose grass, I know the moves to use such as U-turn, sleep powder, leech seed etc, but i dont know who are good grass types (dont suggest shaymin because i cant use legendaries).

just suggest the Pokemon and maybe the items, and i'll figure out the rest, like EV spreads and such.

We're not meant to build teams for you. Make a team, and then we can rate it and give feedback.

I'm pretty sure you can get different natures from the Pokewalker/some sort of event with Surf, but anyways, I'd probably use this.

Raichu @ Life Orb/Choice Specs
Trait: Static
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 HP
- Thunderbolt
- Surf
- Grass Knot
- Substitute/Nasty Plot/HP Ice

InfernoRogue, don't listen to zommy. That moveset sucks.

Relaxed and Calm aren't very good natures for Jirachi, but if you must:

Your Relaxed Jirachi is terribly slow, but has great Defense. So use a support set:

Jirachi @Leftovers
252 HP / 180 Def / 72 SpDef

-Wish
-Thunder Wave
-U-Turn
-Reflect/Iron Head

Your Calm one has good enough IVs for a Calm Mind set:

Jirachi @Leftovers
252 HP / 220 Def / 36 Spd

-Calm Mind
-Wish
-Thunderbolt
-Psychic/Flash Cannon

Hope that helps

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Cool, Thanks so much! :3 I thought I'd try something different by using those natures. (Either that, or I must have gotten bored SRing, haha.)

Thanks, but the Surfing Pikachu from Battle Revolution is always hardy, but I think it's the only way you can get a Surfing Pikachu that also knows Volt Tackle and I'd rather not evolve it and just give it the Light Ball instead.

This is what I was thinking:

@Light Ball
Trait: Static
Nature: Hardy
EVs: 252 SpA/ 252 Spe/ 4HP
-Surf
-Volt Tackle
-Grass Knot

I have no clue what to do for the last move. At lvl 10, it has 18SpA and 18Atk, which seems pretty decent considering Light Ball boosts those stats, and they were the highest I could get after a bunch of soft resets.

You do realize that even with a light ball, Life Orb Raichu is still more powerful than Pika, its faster and doesn't die to Blissey using Tackle. x_x

Really i dont see a reason to use pika over Raichu at all. :/

My Electivire

Electivire/Fridge- Lv.50
Item:Magnet
Nature: Calm
Ability: Motor Drive
Stats: HP:139/ATK:126/DEF:82/SP.ATK:110/SP.DEF:108/SPD:118

Are the stats good, and is that the item he should have?

 

[Weavile05]

how stronger will rapid spin be with technician

Rapid Spin plus technician=30 base power
fell=by one level
harshly/sharply fell=by two levels

 

[Jerme]

ok, is that technician boost worth for hitmontop?

also a marowak moveset, meant for getting a lot of critical hits
item: scope lens or lansat berry
moves:
focus energy
headbutt (replace?)
bone rush
bonemerang

what do you think

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

It's bad.

You shouldn't even be thinking of using any item other than Marowak's special Thick Club. It doubles attack, essentially doubling damage. That's all the time. Your Focus Energy and Scope Lends only happens some of the time. Swords Dance also doubles damage. All the time, rather than Focus Energy's chance.

k, i think this.:Earthquake, Flamethrower, Psychic and Thunderbolt

 

[Dark Azelf]

Latios's attack sucks and it doesnt get Flamethrower. That and its Dragon STAB is WAY more useful than its psychic one.

Latios@Soul Dew
Timid Nature
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
~ Calm Mind
~ Dragon Pulse
~ Grass Knot / Thunder
~ Recover / Hidden Power Fire

Calm Mind sweeper.

OR

Latios@Soul Dew
Timid Nature
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
~ Draco Meteor
~ Grass Knot
~ Thunder
~ Recover / Hidden Power Fire / Dragon Pulse

All out attacker

OR

Latios@Light Clay
252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Light Screen
- Reflect
- Memento
- Dragon Pulse / Draco Meteor

Set up dual screens, Memento something to make their attacking stats pathetic and then send in a pure baton pass Mew (Taunt/Baton Pass/Swords Dance or Nasty Plot/Rock Polish) and set up on their pathetic attacks behind screens and watch everything die when you pass to your sweeper. :]

well not really, its nature is bad, ideally you would want a nature beneficial to attack (Adamant/Naughty/lonely for physical sets) or run jolly for more speed.

depending on the set, use a life orb or an expert belt on your electivire. if you want to keep the one you have at least teach it earthquake

 

[Alternative]

I was just thinking about Slowbro, and thought maybe this could work as a /decent/ set.

Slowbro @ Leftovers
Trait: Own Tempo
Nature: Adamant/Brave
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 Def
- Belly Drum
- Slack Off
- Waterfall
- Zen Headbutt

More of a gimmick set here, but I don't see why it couldn't work, and it can really get a jump from other opponents. Also handles Milotic and Lanturn better than CM since they're usually specially defensive.

Rate, critique etc.

 

[aragornbird]

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

That's a bad set and won't work. You're basically giving your opponent 2 free turns to attack.

Once before you use Belly Drum and once after you use Belly Drum before you use Slack off. Since you're cutting your HP in half, each attack will only need to do about 25% damage to kill Slowbro off and most attacks can do that if they're at least neutral.

Plus, it doesn't stop Slowbro's common counters in any way - Venusaur, Ludicolo, Spiritomb, and Lanturn in UU or Tyranitar, Scizor, Weavile in OU.

If you want to use Belly Drum, you'll want to be at least somewhat fast or have priority moves.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

[Fire Wolf]

Who are the best team-mates to TechniTop?

 

[Dark Azelf]

Something to remove ghosts (Pursuit) and something to handle flying types like Moltres, Swellow and whatnot. Something to deal with Slowbro and psychics and also poison types like Nidoqueen etc.

 

[zombietrainer]

Need alittle help.

I have an Absol at level 44, and plan in using it in competitive double battles. I'm going to teach it perish song, flamethrower, and night slash,but don't know what the last move should be. I was thinking ether psyco cut or arial ace. (btw the only reason i'm teaching it perish song is becouse my umbreon is a nice sweeper and I tought it meen look) Im using blisbly and milotic to hold the other pokemon off while perish song and meen look do there evil xD. And I don't know if the other two should be more walls or what. Please help!!!

 

[KyleSir]

Absol its a glass cannon. He gets hit he dies fast. His stats are all in attack so a special move like flamethrower would not work. Id give absol a perish song, night slash, psycho cut, and swords dance. give him the ability super luck and give him a razor claw and youre critical hits will come often as well. Hope that helped :)
