Lickilicky shouldn't be used for a wall IMO

252hp/252def/4atk
impish

counter
body slam
Wish
Explosion/Protect

Uh Lickilicky is kinda THE best special wall in NU. :/

Lickylicky@Leftovers
252 HP / 252 SDef / 6 Def
Careful Nature
- Body Slam
- Toxic / Heal Bell
- Wish
- Protect

Crawdaunt has base 30 (35?) Speed, so it won't be outspeeding a lot of important things with no speed investment. It just doesn't have the typing or stats to run a defensive spread.

tl;dr: use Whiscash instead.

Crawdaunt has base 30 (35?) Speed,

has base 30 (35?) Speed,

30 (35?) Speed

But yes Crawdaunt sucks defensively.

So yes basically ITT; "people need to stop being terrible and/or lurk moar and/or check their facts before posting".

shows you how much i know about NU tiers >.> ah well imma shut my mouth about $%&# i don't know.

 

[Garrabutártulo]

I have a better idea, "dont use Lumineon if you like winning" lol -.-

Really there are so many better options, Qwilfish, Floatzel, Gorebyss, Relicanth, Seaking, heck even Huntail and Mantine outclass it as Swift Swim sweepers.

I hate floatzel, and I already have a seaking. I'll try the others.
I thought about lumineon 'cause it was able to U-turn if the things looked too bad for it.

 

[Alternative]

Lumineon is horrible. Floatzel pretty much is the best physical Swift Swim Sweeper in the NU metagame.

But if you even decide to use Lumineon, which is outclassed by like, a poisoned Pelipper, focus on it's somewhat mediocre defensive stats.

In a 2vs2 battle, if one of my Pokemon uses Skill Swap on its partner and then switches out, will the partner thats still in battle still have the swapped ability?

Also, when the Pokemon that used Skill Swap returns to the battle, will it have its original ability or the ability that it swapped with its partner?

Thank you in advance :)

the partner still in battle will keep the skill,
but if you switch out the skills go back to normal.
so, if you skill swap and switch, the pokemon switching out
will have the normal skill, but the one in battle will have the new one,
until dead or switched :) .
....i think

:D Thank you very much



2vs2 Battle

Slaking @ Chople Berry
Adamant Nature
252 ATK / 128 S.DEF / 128 SPD
Return
Aerial Ace
Earthquake
Slack Off
Slaking will have the Synchronize ability after Espeon uses Skill Swap, Return for a STAB, Aerial Ace to take care of fighting types , Earthquake to damage both opponents.

Espeon @ Shed Shell
Timid Nature
128 DEF / 252 S.ATK / 128 S.DEF
Psychic
Grass Knot
Morning Sun
Skill Swap
Espeon will use Skill Swap on Slaking and then switch out for Togekiss, when it returns to the battle it will be a special sweeper. I gave it a Shed Shell to prevent it from being trapped with the Truant ability.

Togekiss @ Light Clay
Bold/Impish Nature
252 HP / 128 DEF / 128 S.DEF
Follow Me
Reflect
Light Screen
Roost
Togekiss will set up dual walls with Reflect and Light Screen, if Togekiss hasn't been knocked out after that then I'll use Follow Me to protect Slaking.


I know this needs a lot of work, so all suggestions are welcome.

Training a Vuplix

I just got myself a Level 1 shiny Vuplix
and I would like to EV train it.

Can you guys please tell me on what I should EV train it
and a good MoveSet too.
the Vulpix knows Hypnosis.
It has a hardy nature

Please help out!

 

[Alternative]

We kinda need to know more about the Vulpix, including nature etc.

Imo, I wouldn't use Espeon. Gengar would be a better Skill Swapper, since it passes Levitate to Slaking, making it immune to an Earthquake buddy.

On a side note, does an oposing Pokemon stay trapped from Fire Spin, Magma Storm etc. if the Pokemon who used said move switches out?

 

[Impo]

:D Thank you very much

have you heard of the Slaking and Slowbro/Slowking technique?

post from Go2Sleep02 of Smogon:
2 vs 2 Slowbro and Slaking Combo re-borned into the 4th Gen.


*image removed*
Slowbro @ Leftovers
Own Tempo
252 Def / 212 HP / 44 SpD Bold
~ Ice Beam
~ Psychic
~ Skill Swap
~ Swagger

+


*image removed*
Slaking @ Leftovers
Truant
240 HP / 165 Spd / 105 Atk Jolly
~ Slack Off
~ Earthquake
~ Return
~ Shadow Claw / Fire Punch

This is an old combo that was used back in 3rd gen play that I have revised a bit. The EV Spreads need some help with. The reason Slowbro doesn't have Slack Off is because it would eventually die to Slaking's boosted up Swagger Earthquakes ( The reason I don't have Surf as well on Slowbro it would damage Slaking). Anyway after Slowbro faints you probally want to send out a Special Attacker thats immune to Ground attacks ( Hint Gengar or Azelf.). The point of this combo anyway is to get rid of Slaking's horrible ability and boost its attack power up with Swagger. Than watch as Slaking will sweep. Remember this combo takes time to create. Also its probally not a good idea to lead off with these 2 because of a Salamence + Gyarados lead.

Hardy Nature sucks (infact ALL neutral natures do), use Timid.

No it can switch out if the user switches out.

not a question or anything but:

[22:23:46] <&DougJustDoug> I just got the first pass of July stats done. Here's a #stark exclusive sneak preview of OU usage:
[22:23:47] <+breloom> all other sets suck
[22:23:51] <&DougJustDoug> | 1 | Heatran | 240358 | 24.73 |

thanks to me being addicted to IRC here is a preview of the top 10 (11) ou mons of july. remember though mence was banned midmonth so this isnt definitive picture of post-mence.

Note: Scizor's reign as OU King is over!

Since I'm too lazy to repost this, I'm just going to copy and paste this from elsewhere.

It's been a while since Wobbuffet was legal in OU but I feel like having a Tickle Wobbuffet running the old OU set regardless. Since it was all such a long time ago, I can't seem to find the moveset floating around the internet anywhere and I can't find it from Smogon either.

So what I know is that Tickle Wobbuffet used Tickle to weaken walls then switch to a Choice Banded Pursuit user such as Tyranitar for the kill. I believe it was commonly used to shut down Skarmory and Blissey so it needs to outspeed them at the least.

From what I can see, I can deduce that Wobbuffet needs the full 252 EVs for speed along with a speed beneficial nature (Timid) in order to outspeed the standard Skarmory which reaches 180 speed.

Can anyone provide me the most common Tickle Wobbuffet moveset? Thanks.

Thanks to anyone who can provide me with it. =)

The old Tickle Wob set was iirc;

Wobbuffet@Leftovers
128 DEF / 128 S.DEF / 252 SPEED
Timid/Jolly Nature
- Tickle
- Encore
- Counter
- Mirror Coat

Thanks. That looks right. Should I bother adjusting the EVs to give it 28 HP EVs for maximum Leftovers recovery? I'm not too good with this. =\
