Whoaaaa ,totally meant heracross. Sorry.

I editied it. I dont know why i wrote pinser. I put "pass to heracross" after the moveset, so i know i must have just gotten them confused (im making an all bug team)
 
Anything with good attacking stats and some SD action like Heracross with Speed passed is obviously going to be really good. So yes it'll work.
 
In all honesty, Pinsir is very good. Close Combat, Stone Edge, hell, Quick Attack for priority kills.

Mold Breaker is an awesome ability, as is Hyper Cutter. They really treated Pinsir good this time around.
 
I need some help with my Ludicolo, I was training it until I was told that my Ludicolo basicly sucked because of its nature. Kinda Unmotivated but what nature should my Ludicolo have. Here is some info on him to help you a little.

Ability - Rain Dish
Items: Leftovers or Damp Rock
Attacks
Zen Head Butt
Leech Seed
Mega Drain
Rain Dance

The idea is, is that Ludicolo is always getting HP back in battle. I hope someone can help.
 
I'd rather get a Swift Swim Ludicolo as it is more useful. Rain Dish works fine if you want to Drain. Leftovers + Rain Dish + Leech Seed = A lot of Damage. But get rid of Zen Headbutt and MegaDrain for something useful like Surf or Hydropump.
 
Hydro Pump sucks on Leech Seed Ludi though.

The best set on Ludi I've used for not sweeping is Leech Seed/Grass Knot/Ice Beam/Toxic. It's total Heracross bait, but it causes a lot of switches with Leech Seed and lets you Toxic up the entire team, and can seed Blissey trying to clear up the team and lets you bring in some powerful sweeping action.

You can change the set a lot though with Rain Dance and Surf being really common.

EDIT: Calm or Modest

Thank you very much for your help.
 
I'd like to add on to that...you should really try out all variations since it's kind of one of those personal preference deals, and also ones with Rain Dance really need to fit in with the rest of your team.

Try out all kinds of Ludicolo sets and find out what one you like the best and what one fits the best with your team.

It has a few options I didn't mention so I suggest exploring them. Surf and Rain Dance are very common so that would be a good place to start.
 
Miya, here's the Ludicolo I plan on using in my Rain Dance team in the future, maybe it'll give you some ideas as to how to make yours:

Item Held: Leftovers
Nature: Calm (-atk +s.def)
Ability: Swift Swim
Moves: Rain Dance, Grass Knot, Ice Beam, Leech Seed
120 S.DEF / 104 SPD / 204 HP / 80 S.ATK
 
Hi all, i need a moveset for a mixed deoxysA please (Just moveset/itm please, its already EVed)
 
i got this swellow

it has an impish nature
ablity:guts
item: toxic orb

facade
refresh
airial ace
endevor

is it decent? or could it be better?
 
It doesnt really need the speed, base 125 is high for UU
Toxic Orb over flame orb, since burn's 1/2 doesnt count with guts.
Scrap endevour, odds are if you're at a low health then the orb will finish you off before you can use it. Facade is generally better.
EV set also helps.
I'll just suggest what I've found to work, its easier lol
Swellow@Flame Orb
Adamant
252Att/252Spd/6HP
Facade
Ariel Ace
U-Turn
Pursuit
Facade is self-explainatory. AA is for STAB, Pursit for revenge kills. U-Turn allows you to hit then get out on the switch, useful for conserving HP. Flame orb over toxic orb cuz bad-poisin can sap your health really quick

Well, it could be better. Impish isn't the best nature. It does nothing to support Swellow's capabilities. A nature like Adamant or Jolly is preferred.

Use Flame Orb over Toxic Orb. Flame Orb negates the halving of the Attack stat.

There is no need for Refresh, its supposed to utilize Flame Orb to the best of its ability, which is with Guts. So take that out for Pursuit.

U-Turn is an option over Endeavor.
 
Yanmega is probably best with:

Yanmega @ Life Orb / Leftovers
Trait: Speed Boost
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hypnosis
- Bug Buzz
- Air Slash
- Hidden Power [Ice / Ground]

Meh, I don't know much about the mega-bug.
 
Yanmega
Speed boost
Timid
4 HP / 252 Sp Atk / 252 Speed
Wide lens
Hypnosis
Airslash
Bug buzz
Protect

Protect is for scouting but could probably be replaced with something more useful.

Could someone throw me a good Gyara-counter without it being solely a Gyara-counter? Thanks.
 
Rest/Sleep Talk/Charge Beam/filler Cresselia works well in hampering Gyara's sweep and with Ice Beam or Psychic in the filler slot it isn't too bad hehe.

Celebi and Tangrowth are both awesome Gyarados counters, especially Tangrowth.
