    Most of us don't, we just use the level up feature in wifi. I for one finish EV training and box them up.

    Would it be smart to have instead of quick feet ursaring then to have an agility passed to guts Jolly ursaring with 252 atk/252 spe? Would it outrun the quick feet version?

    They'd have the same speed. Although Quick Feet is superior without an Agility.

    Not a good initial start at all. What you SHOULD do is switch out, because there is not way Donphan is beating Sceptile one on one.

    Since Arcanine's physical movepool is lacking severely, you're limited to, for D/P:

    Flare Blitz
    Extremespeed
    Thunder Fang
    Iron Tail/Overheat

    Overheat is to hit some things like Hippowdon harder than what Flare Blitz would. Iron Tail smacks sturdy rock types that completely wall you though.

    Alakazam @ leftovers
    timid nature (+ speed - attack )
    EV: 252 sp.atk 252 spe

    calm mind
    psychic
    energy ball
    focus blast
    Click to expand...

    Calm mind on alakazam does not work, its too frail so you need choice specs and perhaps replace calm mind with trick for the traditional alakazam set. or just replace it with some random attack but you wont get time to set up if your oppoment is any good. :)

    HP Electric, first of all, would be as good as garbage, Power Trick does not boost SpA at all.

    "This move swaps the user's Attack and Defense stats. Attack and Defense boosts are still applied to their stat."

    Shuckle always needs Max HP and Defense....Or else his walling abilities go way down.

    Yeah get rid of HP electric. It does nothing at all...add Gyro Ball. Impish nature, and make sure you're using him in a sandstorm.

    Sand Attack is banned, I think. Lowers acc.
    Night Slash is sort of garbage on Ken. This set works better for physical Blaziken:

    Blaziken @ Life Orb/Choice Band/Choice Scarf
    Adamant Nature
    252 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 6 HP

    Flare Blitz
    Stone Edge
    Sky Uppercut
    EQ/T-Punch

    Salac only works with reversal.

    For mixed ken,

    Blaziken @ Choice Scarf
    Rash Nature
    30HP/30Def IVs
    76 Atk/ 216 Spa/ 216 Spe

    Sky Uppercut
    Thunder Punch
    HP Ice
    Fire Blast/Overheat.

    Feraligatr @ Life Orb / Leftovers / Salac Berry
    Adamant
    EV's: 28 HP, 252 Attack, 228 Speed
    -Dragon Dance / Swords Dance
    -Ice Punch
    -Waterfall
    -Earthquake

    DDGatr is probably its best bet. If you can't breed Horsea to get Gatr Dragon Dance, then you can opt for Swords Dance instead, but make sure to max out Speed at 252 EV's, taking out the spare HP EV's. The EV spread is so that you outrun what you're able to outrun and putting the rest in HP. (229+ Speed gets you nowhere, as it doesn't let you outspeed anything 228 can't)

    Also, if you're using Swords Dance, go for Salac Berry.

    Keckleon @ Choice Band
    Adamant
    EV's: 220 HP, 252 Attack, 36 Defense
    -Trick
    -Return / Body Slam
    -Sucker Punch
    -Focus Punch

    Keckleon's got a great move in Trick, and functions well as a lead. Trick an SR user and Focus Punch on the switch, because Steels and Rocks wall Keckleon with their "Let's just STAB then Earthquake him" mentality. Return vs. Body Slam is power vs. paralysis. Sucker Punch is for priority, but don't fling this around as you become setup fodder doing so.

    Houndoom @ Life Orb
    Flash Fire
    Timid
    EV's: 40 HP, 252 Special Attack, 216 Speed
    -Nasty Plot
    -Flamethrower / Fire Blast
    -Dark Pulse
    -Hidden Power Fighting / Will-O-Wisp

    Houndoom is a personal favorite of mine, because it's so fun :p Anyway, it's no Infernape, but it's definitely better than Ninetales. Two useful immunities help it switch in easily and scare out a lot of things. You then NP on the switch and proceed to rock & roll. HP Fighting better be the Hidden Power your Houndoom has, just saying. If you don't posess HP Fighting, then switch to Will-O-Wisp.

    Hope I helped. :)

    Gyarados does the Dragon Dancing thing a lot better than Feraligatr. If you're going to use it, go with Swords Dance.
