    Scizor still needs to be Adamant; also, if you wanted speed and attack, Scyther works too with Swords Dance. He may be a lil more fragile, but Choice Band Scyther works for me just fine. With Scizor... I don't know to be honest.

    All of those pokes are already made except for torkoal and pory z. Yeah i made scizor when i was a noob competetive battler....and it is my favourite poke...so i guess it deserves to be remade and with a REAL ev spread..(IT has 252 speed and att plus 6 hp right now)(+ i didnt know bout IVs and it has good ones except for a 3 in speed!!!.

    Editing now....EV spread and moveset remain until resuggested.

    • You're in good need of a Heracross counter, which I can see will really mess you up. I saw someone with a nice set for it.

    Staraptor @ Choice Scarf
    Adamant
    252 atk/176spd/80 HP

    Brave Bird
    U-Turn
    Close Combat
    Return

    This set can work a good way to not only deal with ScarfCross, but Scarf'd Heatran. U-Turn for a quick switch if against something effective against you and Return for STAB. HP for Brave Bird.

    Also, if you want to help take down Cross with another pokemon of yours, Scizor can do that with Technician Aerial Ace. Surely Scizor takes a Close Combat without dying if it's not Banded. It's also more suited for Baton Passing, but the sweeper set I suppose could work.

    Can i have a Slaking moveset and EVs? The moveset and EVs are meant to counter the likes of herracross (normal mono) and hit anything else hard. Something like a little speed to outspeed non scarfed crosses, some hp to survive a non cb CC or somehting like that.

    kk.......guess im using syther(or is my scizor just as good for sweeping?).......can someone give me an updated sweeping set for him?
    +can you think of another poke that does the same thing as that staraptor to the same effect, if not illl use it....
    Click to expand...

    The problem with Scizor is that he lost a lot of speed, and most sweepers need speed in order to function properly, so despite the fact he is stronger (+20 Base Attack) the speed loss (-50 Base Speed) isn't worth it

    Scyther@Focus Sash
    Jolly Nature
    EVs: 252 Spd, 252 Atk, 6 HP
    -X Scissor
    -Aerial Ace
    -Reversal
    -Swords Dance

    Aerial Ace is outputing at 135 Base Power (thanks to STAB and Technician) so it puts a dent in most things, especially after an SD, Reversal is just fun to use after SD and Focus Sash has kicked in.

    ====================================================================

    I need help with the EVs for a Mixpert, anyone?

    Swampert@Leftovers
    Relaxed Nature
    -Hydro Pump/Surf
    -Earthquake
    -Ice Beam/Avalanche
    -Rain Dance

    Rain Dance as it's for a Rain Dance team, other moves speak for themselves (well they should =P)

    First Post and Need help

    Hello I am looking for a team to battle my friend with.

    If anyone is willing to help I only have access to Diamond, Fire Red, and Sapphire versions. I am not very far into Fire Red of Sapphire though.

    Anyway I would like a good team that uses Electivire. Also my friends number one go to Pokemon is gonna be his Dragonite. Any help in a team would be greatly appreciated.

    • well, we need a little more information on what you want, but most Vires use this set.

    Electivire @ Expert Belt
    Lonely
    252 atk/178spd/80sp.atk (I think that's the spread; correct me if I'm wrong.)
    Cross Chop
    Ice Punch
    Thunderbolt
    Earthquake

    You'll need to attract electric users to get your Motor Drive boost. Gyarados is the best known partner of Electivire.

    Gyarados@Focus Sash/Leftovers
    Adamant nature
    Unsure of EVs; someone can fill those in for me?

    Waterfall/Ice Fang
    Stone Edge/Earthquake
    Dragon Dance
    Taunt

    Taunt to prevent you from being Roar'd out of the area after Dragon Dancing. If you fear a OHKO, go Focus Sash. If you go bulk, then go Leftovers. Use the above moves with one another (Waterfall and Stone Edge, Ice Fang and Earthquake) for best coverage.

    To TBD_Leader: Rhyperior is best as a physical wall... Never expose to special attacks. Contents may melt.

    Rhyperior@Leftovers
    Impish nature
    Solid Rock (IMPORTANT!)
    252HP/252Def/6Atk

    Swords Dance
    Earthquake
    Stone Edge
    Avalanche/Hammer Arm/Megahorn

    Unsure of last move; designed to fit where needed.

    • [Tentacruel] @ Black Sludge/Leftovers
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 68 HP / 252 Atk / 188 Spd <-- That's what I used when I was training a Tentacruel. Dunno how accurate it is however..
    Ability: Clear Body
    -Poison Jab
    -Waterfall
    -Swords Dance
    -Knock Off/Substitute

    Swords Dance and sweep. OR Sub, Swords Dance and sweep.

    Scizor gained a lot more than 20 base Attk. He got a lot better defenses and infinately better typing. Scizor can actually make use of a SD/Roost set.

    • Scyther -> Scizor stat changes.

    +20 base attack
    +20 base defense
    -40 base speed.

    As you can see, the evolution doesn't change its stats at all. It just alters it to a more defensive pokemon with a better typing. If you're wanting to go all out fury, Scyther's more suited for that. If you're looking for a Baton Passer/stat builder, Scizor's your pick.

    ABYAY thanks for the info. With the Gyrados I was wondering could I replace him maybe with Empoleon because that's what I started the game with and it won't let me switch him out will it?

    Also if I have an Electivire then use the Empoleon to draw out his electric could I possibly use a Weavile with Ice Punch as a lead then fill in the other three slots with something else? Maybe use Dialga for one of the last three slots.
