Driftblim. And the best set for it would be most likely a similar idea to Jumpman Espeon.

Driftblim @ Petaya Berry
EVs: 252 HP / 172 Spd / 80 SDef
Nature: Timid (Spd+/Atk-)
- Shadow Ball
- Calm Mind
- Baton Pass
- Substitute
 
Starting a new team, Rain Dance to be specific, and I need some help with the following:

1) Good set for a Gyarados lead (DD set seems tempting, but Rest-Talk could work)
2) Set for a mixed walling Registeel

I wanted to use Ludicolo as my Special Wall, and Registeel as my physical wall, but Registeel is a mixed wall, right? So, could Gyara be a physical wall? Need help plz.

- Shadow Ball
- Calm Mind / Stockpile
- Baton Pass
- Substitute

Stockpile may seem not as good as Calm Mind, but raising both defense stats in one turn is quite a feat! You can boost the defenses sky high then switch so you have a near indestructible wall.. =P
 
I need a recommendation on the moveset for my Glaceon:
Nature: Modest
EVs: 252 HP/252 SAtk/4 Spd
-Ice Beam
-Water Pulse/Substitute
-Wish
-Yawn

Ice Beam as an offensive move, Water Pulse to take care of other weaknesses or Substitute as a more defensive set, Wish to heal, and Yawn to either make opponents switch or fall asleep (their choice).

My only problem is between Water Pulse and Substitute (and maybe Yawn). I'd prefer Ice Beam to not be it's only attack but a Sub/Wish set seems really strong.

So I could really use some help with this one.
 
Well. I recently got a Deoxys of a mate and transformed it to a Deoxys-S in Veilstone. Checked some sets for Deoxys-S on Smogon but I didn't really like 'em. Anyways, I made a completely different set to the Mixed Attacker and changed the EV's. Funny because I only did it after replacing Superpower. Here's what I was thinking:
Deoxys-S @ Life Orb/Leftovers
Jolly <252Speed/252SpAtk/4HP>
Psychic
Grass Knot
Ice Beam
Shadow Ball/Thunderbolt/Flamethrower

I can't decide on the item and the last slot. It's quiet orginal with Shadow Ball but Flamethrower would be something they wouldn't expect. I've been testing the set out and it's helped in a few battles. I'm just not sure about that last slot because I've got a Blissey which looks a little like this:
Blissey @ Leftovers
Calm <252SpDef/216Def/42SpAtk>
Softboiled
Toxic
Aromatherapy/Ice Beam
Flamethrower

Yeah. Flamethrower on this set because of the Ghost coverage + it helps against Steel types when Toxic doesn't effect them. Just asking what your opinions are on my original Blissey and Deoxys-S sets.

EDIT:The Blissey can take on and defeat a Standard Palkia which would use the following moveset:
Palkia @ Lustrous Orb/Life Orb/Coice Specs
Hasty <6Atk/252SpAtk/252Speed>
Draco Meteor/Spacial Rend
Focus Punch/Aura Sphere/Aqua Tail
Thunder/Substitute
Surf
Results are based on Shoddy Battles against "not-so-bad" opponents.

God damn.

Flamethrower? Surprising? That's probably because Deoxys doesn't learn it in the first place. It would be awesome if he did, though. Outside of that, Superpower-less Deoxys is retarded. The real threat of Deoxys is that he can hit hard on both sides of the spectrum- no matter who an opponent sends in, Deoxys can hit that Poke fast, and hard (and super-effective). Otherwise, Blissey just laughs in your face. Grass Knot is stupid, as it only hit Swampert and bulky grounds (who are already hit pretty hard by Ice Beam). Shadow Ball is only for Cresselia- which is kinda stupid, as a D-E Shadow Ball can't even OHKO Azelf. Leftovers is stupid, as Deoxys needs to hit as hard as possible- besides, he's not going to survive long enough for Lefties to really be useful. And last, I love how you put Jolly on an all-Special set.

Blissey and Seismic Toss go together like a Heavy and Medic- perfectly. I can understand if you want to hit Ghosts, but without Seismic Toss, there's just so many other things that you don't hit- enjoy being walled and outstalled. If you're really worried about Ghosts, run Seismic Toss + Flamethrower. That way, you can hit the Steels that Toxic doesn't. By the way, Calm Blissey runs 252 Def/ 216 SDef, not the other way around.

Blissey: Yeah, I know that Calm Blissey has higher Defence EV's than Special Defence EV's but with that much Special Defence, it's almost God-essly. Besides, 10 Base Defence isn't what i really want. I'd rather use Snorlax. Sadly I can't teach it Seismic Toss (haven't got my Leaf Green, gave to my friend and now I don't know where he is). Thinking of WishBliss or a Cleric. Lol. Cleric w/o ST, that's really funny but it might work.

Deoxys-S: I was gonna use Life Orb on this guy but Lefties seemed better. Ok, that's gotta change. Also, fine, I'll use Super Power and I guess I should use T-Bolt >> Shadow Ball. What about the EV Spread. It's one I made up but I was doubting how good it would be. I'll split some more Attack EV's as I have none so far. So This is what it's looking like ATM:
Deoxys-S @ Life Orb
Lonely (+Atk/-Def) <168Atk/168SpAtk/168Speed>
Super Power
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt
Psychic
Wow, already looking better. Thunderbolt looks better than Shadow Ball. Pity you can't use Flamethrower. That's why I hate hackers, especially when it's my friend. As for Shadow Ball, I'll just add in a Gengar for support. Besides, he'd use S-B better.

Just a note on that base 10 def, if you max it, Blissey takes hits on the physical side just about as good as a max hp Scizor, just thought you'd like to know.


As for Deoxys

160 ATT / 252 SP.ATT / 96 SPEED @Hasty/Naive Plox

I didn't know that it could take hits as well as a standard Scizor with Base 10 DEFENCE.
As for the Deoxys, I'd love to have a Naive/Hasty nature but I only have 3 Deoxys which I got from trades and Lonely is the closest to Naive/Hasty I have. I don't have WiFi and I doubt anyone would have a Naive/Hasty UT Deoxys of some sort for trade. My nearest Macca's probs is Hotspot but meh, I've never bothered checking. Yeah, anyways, thanks for the EV's. I'll check my Macca's, if not my friends got WiFi.
 
Can anyone help me out? I need a good move-set for a Rapidash, I'm focusing on Speed and Attack, and the last 6 'evs on Attack.
 
Rapidash@Leftovers/Wide Lens
Jolly Nature
Flash Fire
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spd/6 HP
-Megahorn
-Flare Blitz
-Hypnosis
-Will o Wisp

Double status because Rapidash doesn't have much else to deem a Choice item worth it, (Poison Jab and Return maybe)
 
Thanks, I'll try that. Do you know where I can get the lens from? I think its the BT, but I just wanted to double check.
 
Yeah, I was looking at Flareon, and it isn't a total phailure at all. I wanna try it

Flareon@Leftovers? Life Orb? Certainly not Expert Belt
Nature:Bold?
Overheat
Return/Double Edge
WoW
Wish
EV:???

I could use some help.

I didn't know that it could take hits as well as a standard Scizor with Base 10 DEFENCE.

Yeah, true. Scizor can't take EQs much, and it is still taken out by the same moves as Blissey, with the same amount of hits. A Gyarados Waterfall will remove nearly the same chunk off of blissey as it will Scizor.

No ur pogeymanz before you argue.

Just go CM or Curse with Flareon, and probably Baton Pass. With its shallow movepool even with base 130 attack it would not be hurting much, so if you want an offensive verson go with CM/Curse, or just use a tanky build and WoW/Wish.
 
For offensive options (I didn't know it could learn CM), should I go with Double Edge &/or Overheat?

How's this for a Wish set:

Flareon@Lefties
Nature:Calm
Wish
WoW
Protect/CM
Overheat

???
 
Flareon cannot learn Calm Mind. The only Eeveelution that gets it is Espeon. It does, however, get Curse. The only problem is that Flareon has 95 base SAtk instead of 95 base HP, otherwise it could run Curse/Fire Fang/Bite/Rest as a set.

Probably the best thing to do with Flareon is to Choice it.

Flareon @ Choice Scarf
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 6 HP
Nature: Adamant (Atk+/SAtk-)
- Fire Fang (really needed Flare Blitz)
- Bite
- WoW
- Iron Tail/Double-Edge/Return

Outspeeds most CBers with Scarf and burns them before they can do anything. Adamant Flareon OHKOs CBCross (the one CBer you don't want to burn) 99% of the time with Fire Fang, and it's definite if there's SR or Spikes out. Other moves are really for coverage or power, you might force an Alakazam or Azelf out with SE Bite.
 
Hey guys! I just bred forth a really nice Lickitung (well, I dunno if it's nice for you uber breeders out there, but for me, it's quite outstanding), and I was wondering what moves/EV spread you guys would recommend for it?
(I named it MikePatton BTW)

Lickitung - Adamant
HP: 31
Att: 24 - 29
Def: 30 - 31
SpA: 20 - 29
SpD: 0 - 9
Speed: 7 - 14

I also bred over some eggmoves from a Snorlax I've got, so it's got Body Slam and Earthquake. I dunno if I should use those, what I do know though is that I want explosion on little Mike. (stab, adamant, + high IV explosion is gonna slaughter pretty much anything)

So, it's got really nice HP, attack and defense, he's adamant, which boosts his attack even more. He's got good Special Attack aswell, but I probably won't be using that anyway, he's got really bad Special Defense and quite bad speed though.

I'm gonna evolve it to Lickilicki of course. (My team is far from finished, but I've also got a Gengar, a Tentacruel, a Typhlosion, an Infernape and some other Pokémon to pick from when I'm selecting my final 6)

So, thanks in advance guys!
 
Not trying to outstage you, Jonny.

Can Tickle work out on Flareon?
 
so wait a second, no shadowball on Deoxys? because my deoxys looks like this:

Deoxys-A
Hasty Nature
Expert Belt
Hp: 217
Attack: 397 Ice Beam
Defense: 58 Thunder
Sp. Atk: 429 Shadow Ball
Sp. Def: 51 Superpower
Speed: 424

I know Life Orb would work better on him, but my life orb is on my infernape, and Deoxys is more likely to get a super effective hit anyway. This set was recommended on smogon, though they has possibly hidden power (something) over shadowball. I couldn't exactly get that, so I went with shadowball instead.
