What Pokemon/sets compliment this Infernape set:

Infernape @ Life Orb
Naive nature
EVs: 64 Atk / 252 SpA / 192 Spe
-Fire Blast
-Close Combat
-Grass Knot
-HP Ice

Celebi, Vaporeon, and Gyarados come to mind. Generally anything that can take and counter the water- and ground-type attacks aimed at Infernape works well with him.

 

[Dark Azelf]

if you are going to take advantage of his chloryphyll ability specs is not your best option because he can easily be put into an unfavourable match up and be forced to switch out.
This set would work much better.

Leftovers
Chlorophyll
Moveset
~ Sleep Powder
~ Energy Ball
~ Psychic
~ Synthesis

EV's: 40 HP / 252 SpA / 216 Spe

This set combines it's great bulk and great sweeping capabilities.

Hope this helps

Leaf Storm >> Suck Ball so you can KO Clefable and actually damage things and 220 Speed> 216 to get to 201 speed so you actually beat most of the trash ~200 speed.

Celebi, Vaporeon, and Gyarados come to mind. Generally anything that can take and counter the water- and ground-type attacks aimed at Infernape works well with him.

Gyarados is prolly the best since him and ape can overwhelm water types. Saying that id use Spikes with them because its really difficult getting past hard counters like Vap even with both.

Hi. I have an HG/SS RNG manipulation question.

<snip>

Not sure if you already know, but this would be a better place to ask. I don't have any experience with HGSS RNG.

 

[Bibliophibian]

Any idea what caused the frames to go weird like that? In the same HG save file I had used RNG manipulation to breed Staryu, Larvitar, and Gible, and I didn't get any unexpected results those times.

Thanks.

It could be that you just didn't pick the egg up from the Daycare Man quickly enough. You need to get it as quickly as possible, otherwise it will skip ahead a couple of frames and you'll have to do the IVs all over again. Normally, if you don't get it quickly enough, it'll skip ahead an extra 2 frames, so instead of being on 10 you'd end up on 12, and etc.

Hey just a quick post.
Raising a a dusknoir on soul silver for the last slot of my team. I've decided on this moveset and was wondering how effective it may be:

Dusknoir@leftovers
Impish
252 HP / 28 Atk / 228 Def
~ Will-O-Wisp
~ Pain Split
~ Thunderpunch
~ Ice Punch


Now first off its missing EQ which i know is dangerous with heatran running about yet my team already has 2 users using Earthquake and i have a heatran revenge killer of my own that has earthpower so i figure if they bring in heatran and hope for a fire blast, absorb the fire and return with earth power...perhaps ;).
At the moment nobody on my squad has an electric move; currently i am using vaporeon in the team so i can tank other waters but not do an awful lot back apart from toxic hence the addition.

Finally Ice punch to cover to teams lack of ice moves so that dragonite, gliscor or flygon don't try to ruin the day.

 

[GFA]

This is in Game, so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place but ... I just got to Morty, have a level 21 Gyarados with no Water type moves, and was wondering about the efficency of having it no Surf? By the time I get to Bloackthorn I can replace it with Waterfall, so it isn't a bad idea right?

 

[Veronika]

I have a level one Eevee that I want to become an Espeon. I know I have to raise it to max happiness, but what level should I let it evolove at?

It looks fine, but remember Rotom-A is superior if you're able to use it.

Not really, Surf is stronger than physical base 75 or lower move.

Evolve it at 36 so that it learns Baton Pass before evolving, which is the only useful move for Espeon that Eevee learns.

So, does anyone remember any old Sassy Umbreon sets? I have a Sassy Eevee with Wish that's been sitting in my box for months and of course, the Smogon sets got changed before I had the chance to train the thing. lol. No Curse, unfortunately, so I can't use the Curse set. Actually, any Sassy Eeveelution set will do. :D

 

[patrick_20052005]

goodness i missed the old sets. They removed latias and salamence which is both win and fail for us.

@griffin: i should be able to help you, problem is i lost the my ev's list :( but i have a sassy umbreon which is based from smogons.

edit: griffin, i found it!! although not quite, it's from serebii's 4th gen pokemon of the week, and they still use curse though. :|

Umbreon @ Leftovers
252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
- Wish
- Protect
- Payback
- Heal Bell / Toxic

This is DA's UU moveset (and close to the old standard), but should work in OU decently.

sunny day

so me and my friend have been working on the perfect sunny day sweeper team. we have tested this against every strategy and it pulls through 99% of the time. the one thing i cant figure out is who i should lead the sunny day with. i was thinking jumpluff because of its awsome speed and ability to paralyze, etc but i was also thinking crobat because of his u-turn and quick snap of a hypnosis. decisions,decisions >.> what do you guys think

 

[Griffinbane]

Why thankee, I have a brand new Umbreon now. =]
One more question: Hasty Hippopotas with Curse|Slack Off|Earthquake|Roar. What can I do with this? Other than turning it into breeding bait, of course. Or lunch.

 

[Opposite Day]

I'd suggest turning that Hippo into breeding bait, you'll want to keep your defences as intact as possible, and curse w/ a +speed nature sounds somewhat contradictory. Rebreed and make it into an amazing physical wall, make it a curse set and abuse the egg moves to the fullest, or decide to be silly and make it a CB'er. :x

I can use some recommendation for a CB Doryuuzu

Doryuuzu@CB
Adamant
252Atk(that's all I got...)
EQ
Rock Slide
Shadow Claw

The main thing: need a recommendation for the 4th move, thanks
(Please don't tell me SD set, I know it exists, just I'm looking for CB one)

I don't know why you would use CB and not LO though......

Hi!

Do you think my Umbreon is any good?

Umbreon
Held item:Leftovers
Nature: Calm
Ability:Synchronize
MOVES:
Baton Pass
Mean Look
Wish
Taunt

I found this move set on Smogon. Basically I'd start of with Mean Look, to trap the pokemon(eg.scizor), then umbreon would baton pass straight away if it was the start, wish then baton pass to a supereffective monster(eg.infernape) if I was part way through and that pokemon was injured.

EV: 252 SpD/128 HP/128 Spe

252 Special Defense means that Umbreon can stand up to some special attackers while doing it's job. 128 speed means it isn't too slow, and it can outspeed aerodactyl when it comes to taunting.128 health points keeps Umbreon from running out of HP on it's first hit.

So, what do you think?

 

[Zaroas]

Well, the moves are fine. You should be running a Careful nature, and not a Calm nature, though. Also, Umbreon DOES NOT outspeed Aerodactyl with 128 Speed EVs. Not even with 252 and a boosting nature. No way. It could only do that with a +2 speed stat boost. So you ought to fix that.
Anyways, Umbreon isn't even really that good. I could see Infernape in particular switching in as you Mean Look, outspeeding you and hitting you with Close Combat before you get to Baton Pass. However, it's the only Mean Look passer there is, so keep it if you want.

Thanks.
I did try to get a careful nature, but I spent a whole day attempting it(It didn't work....*sigh*)! I kinda got bored and thought calm would do (+spd,-attack).

Sorry Yeah I forgot to put the 2 stat boost in. Sorry.

Infernape will be a problem.... I think I'll run the risk of Umbreon. Thanks for the advice Zaroas!

 

[Cheeky Beaver]

don't use umbreon as a trap passer in the first place, it sucks tbh, i tried it once and just got annihilated by fighting types like lucario and infernape. Use it as a wish supporter instead

Umbreon@leftovers
252 HP/ 128 spD/128 def
wish
Toxic
protect
dark pulse

But seriously just don't use umbreon because it really isn't that good.
