Sassy's ok, its not exactly the fastest poke anyway. Still, its better to reduce a stat you never use rather than a potentially valuable one. Still, its a wall and high HP/Def IVs are the most important.
 
Is there a reason why Slaking uses Return instead of Giga Impact?

Probably for better Accuracy. When you only attack once every other turn, you want that move to count. That's all I can think of. Slaking probably does enough damage with a STAB Return to take out lots of non-resistant Pkmn. At Max happiness it's better than Chomp's EQ.
 
This has probably been asked before, but what would be a good set for using Golduck as a Special sweeper on a SS team?

How 'bout we help him????
 
That's an ingame team, so it doesn't really matter what he uses.

Special Sweeper, I wouldn't say so.
But I used it as a Mixed Sweeper on a Hail Team and it worked fine. Not WOAHOMG, but fine enough stay in the team.
 
So probably something like Surf/Ice Beam/Cross Chop/Substitute would be good? No idea on natures and such.
 
I used it just like that, except Hypnosis in place of Sub.
You could just go with Smogon's mix standard in 104 Atk / 252 SpA / 152 Spe and Mild nature. It worked for me.
 
Hey. I just hatched this Magnemite and I was wondering what I should do with it.
*pokemonelite2000 image removed*
Magnemite
Modest
Magnet Pull

Metal Sound, Tackle, Thunder Wave

31 HP/ 18 Atk/ 31 Def/ 24 SpA/ 31 SpD/ 16 Spd
Hidden Power Fire 54

Should I use this as a parent to aim for a higher IV Magnemite, or is a defensive Magnezone good? The lack of a Hidden Power Ice/Ground/Grass aches, so I was wondering what I should do with it. I'm not so good at IV breeding, so.. If this could be used as a defensive or support Magenzone, though, I would appreciate a moveset and EV spread. ​
 
Aim for Hidden Power Ice, Ground, or Grass for Magnemite. I say it could be used as a parent though because of the 31s on the board.

Just keep on trying til you get something better is all I can say.
 
What's the set for a Special Sweeping Starmie? I mainly need it so Gyarados will stop raping me.

Hiya! does anyone have a moveset for a timid Jirachi please? (got a legit shiny one YAY! :) )
 
According to smogon only the specs set uses timid:

Jirachi@Choice Specs
Timid
80HP/252SpAtt/176Spd
Thunderbolt
Psychic
HP Fire/Fight/Bug
Shadow Ball/Grass Knot

HP choice is dependant on what you fear- Darks or steels. Since you have already saved i guess you dont have the luxury of resetting for any of them, so I'd check because otherwise steel's are gonna screw you over. If you dont have any water pulse could be an alternative, albeit a bad one. I guess 20% onfuse rate isnt bad.
