It's in game, i'm thinking Swoobat but i can't pick one.

i know its not on the list but sigilyph is proabably the best choice

The Eviolite would work on Scyther, right?

I'm thinking of using it in my 4v4 doubles rain team. While it seems like a strange item for a Scyther, it has base 80 defenses. Combined with the rain taking away its fire weakness, Scyther can help counter the weaknesses of other team members (1/4 Grass resist, Ground immunity) as well be a physical sweeper on the team.

Yay/nay?

Stunfisk

I'd got for Nay. |: I've heard about people using Eviolite Scyther, and it doesn't work out. Besides, it still has a huge x4 weakness to Rock moves + Stealth rock, Flying moves still take it down along with Electric and Ice moves. To many weaknesses.

However, Stealth Rocks aren't generally a problem with 4v4 doubles. But point taken.

Whimsicott @ Leftovers
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SpD
Bold Nature (+Def, - SAtk)
- Leech Seed
- Substitute
- Encore / Taunt
- Stun Spore / Toxic

There you go, enjoy.

Whimsicott@Leftovers
Bold Nature [+Def; -SpA]
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
- Encore
- Leech Seed
- Substitute / U-Turn
- Stun Spore / Taunt

This is Whimsicott's only viable set. With Leech Seed and Sub, you can basically stall any pokemon not named Reuniclus or Mamoswine out of their health. With taunt and encore, you can stop Reuniclus, and U-Turn has the merits of having an attacking move in the event that you get priority taunted (see Thundurus).

Edit: Got sniped, but our sets are a bit different, pick your poison I guess. xD

Can somebody help me with Hydreigon. Is this a good moveset?
Hydreigon @ Choice Scarf
Nature: Modest
EVs: HP 4 / Sp. Atk 252/ Speed 252
Moves: Surf, Focus Blast, Dragon Pulse, and Dark Pulse

BTW its for doubles

 

[.Aero]

Hydreigon@Choice Scarf
Timid Nature [+Spe; -Atk]
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
- Draco Meteor
- Focus Blast
- Fire Blast
- U-Turn

This set is preferred with Choice Scarf. U-Turn allows for scouting for switch-ins. Draco Meteor is a superior STAB move to use, as you will be switching out often with the choice item anyway, so why not hit harder? Focus Blast and Fire Blast provide nice coverage on everything else. Just we wary of Focus Blast's horrid accuracy and don't try and rely on it too terribly much. Also not many people play doubles, so finding a doubles specific set/strategy will be extremely difficult to come by. I guess Surf could work in conjunction with, say, Jellicent and his Water Absorb. Go for whatever works for you. :]

Thanks man...I was considering timid but does it really make much of a difference...As of right now it has not attacked second escept after my volcarona uses quiver dance or my gyarados uses dragon dance

 

[.Aero]

With Timid you outspeed +1 Volcarona, Adamant Salamence, Flygon, Jirachi, Haxorus (and some others), ScarfChomp (when using he uses Adamant), and Scarfed Latios. Highly important in most situations.

 

[Jolteon*]

Thanks. This moveset is really helpful

 

[Arlen]

I'm training a Flygon, forgot what nature it has but I think the stats might give you a hand (they were lying around somewhere).

HP 272 4
DEF 154
ATK 258
SP ATK 167 252
SP DEF 168
SPEED 231 252

Did I make the right choice as far as EV training goes, or should I have trained a more Special Attack orientated Flygon? Moveset and item aren't really important at the moment, but he's supposed to be one of my offensive Pokemon. (DD will be in there somewhere)

a) Flygon doesn't learn DD
b) Garchomp outclasses Flygon 100% unless you're abusing levitate or U-turn which is moveset dependant
c) Flygon wants it in Attack, not Special Attack.

 

[Jolteon*]

For doubles which attack is better, sandstorm or stealth rock? This is on Ferrothorn.

there was a thread in B/W about what's banned as far as species, moves, abilities, and items. someone said that Blaziken was among the banned pokemon, why? BTW a moderator linked all inquiries to this thread

This generation gave Blaziken speed boost which allowed it to pretty much gain "double dance" while only taking one turn of damage (protect, swords dance). Then, bulky waters lose to Hi Jump Kick which got boosted to 130 base power this generation.
