Yeah I was hoping for HP ice but I can't change it, it's shiny and has really good IV's for the most part. HP,Atk,SpD,Sp are all mid-late 20's SpA is perfect and Defence is really low(~6) so it's a decent poke, oh well that just means I'll have to add someone to my team whose able to deal with ground
 
I got a Pikachu with 70 HP Ice the other day, from a friend.

It's UT, but how should I ev it?

Should I go with the mixed sweeper
Volt Tackle, Brick Break, Substitute, HP Ice

Pure Sp.Sweeper
TB, HP Ice, Grass Knot, Substitute
 
If your gonna Sub, might as well Focus Punch.

I prefer my Pika/Raichu like this

Raichu@Focus Sash
Timid Nature
EVs: 252 Spd, 252 Sp Atk, 6 HP
-Thunderbolt
-Hidden Power Ice
-Grass Knot/Focus Blast/Nasty Plot/Thunderwave
-Grass Knot/Focus Blast/Nasty Plot/Thunderwave

Pikachu is the same deal, but you can go with Light Orb instead (although then Nasty Plot becomes a bit overkill)
 
No! Raichu Bad! Pikachu good!
The nature would help, but my pika set is:
Pika@Lightball (Better than a slightly faster raichu IMO)
Timid/Naiive/Hasty (It needs to be fast, its not gonna be taking many hits)
Thunderbolt
HP Ice
Grass Knot
Focus Blast

Remember, Raichu can equip a Life Orb or Wise Glasses, and then he'd be faster and more powerful than Pikachu. Just sayin'.

Also, at BigGamer, HP Rock hits most Dragons for SE damage. Why? Most of them are half-flying.
 
True I didn't think of that, I thought the dragon part would just neutralize it lol, I'm a horrible trainer
 
Hi all, i need a physical sweeper in the uber tier (Not deoxys though)
 
Rayquaza is THE sweeper for you then

Rayquaza@Life Orb
Adament Nature
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
-Dragon Dance
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Extremespeed (umm... yeah)

I'm gonna start breeding for a Swampert soon. Anyone know a good set to use?
Click to expand...

Yep, swampy is awesome


Swampert@leftovers
240 HP / 212 DEF / 56 SP.ATT
Relaxed Nature
- Hydro pump
- Earthquake
- ice Beam
- Stealth Rock / Roar / Protect / hidden power Electric / Hammer Arm


2HKO's weezing, Skarmory, Forry etc with Hydro pump.

Ice Beam outdamages Avalance and is your best friend vs Dragons etc

Earthquake gets STAB and deals with t-tar.

Last slot is mainly a filler, Stealth Rock for team support, Roar to PHaze, protect to scout attacks, Hidden power electric makes this quite a formidable Gyarados counter, and Hammer Arm is a must if you want this to take on weavile as a Swords dance life orb'd Ice Punch/Night Slash 2hkos swampy, Hammer Arm is a OHKO on Weavile, it also helps vs magnet rise Magnezone, even Blissey and Snorlax to an extent.
 
What's a good set for a Salamance and Kingdra? Also, what do you think of this Muk I'm making:

Muk@Leftovers
Nature: Brave (-spd +atk)
Moves: Curse, Explosion, Shadow Sneak, Poison Jab
252 HP / 138 DEF / 120 ATK

Pidgeot@ Choice Band
Adamant
252 Atk/ 252 Spd/ 6 HP
~ Return
~ Brave Bird
~ Steel Wing / U-Turn
~ Quick Attack / Pursuit

Pidgeot's UU, though. Are you sure you don't want a Poke that doesn't suck?

Pidgeot isn't too bad. You could say the same about Dodrio (which I'm pretty sure is also UU), but when you give it Flail it becomes really awesome. Anyway, it would be better to use a Swellow though because it w/Facade equals you win =o

Reversal/ Flail sets are unreliable, though. Sandstream and priority moves laugh at them.

In addition, CB Staraptor is a good choice as well, and is worth considering.
