[Dark Azelf]

Pokémon
Ninetales

Item
Wise Lense / Life Orb

Nature
Timid

Moveset
Flamethrower / Fire Blast
Energy Ball
Nasty Plot
Hypnosis

Changes in red.

Extrasensory offers no additional coverage and neither does dark pulse. Neutral Fire Blast hits things harder than a super effective Dark Pulse btw.

If you want to make Ninetails not inferior to things like Magmortar and even Houndoom, abuse its only advantages over them, aka being able to sleep your counter with Hypnosis and then Nasty Plot.

Wide lense is probably better to boost the accuracty of both Hypnosis and F-Blast. Although Life Orb mak help guarantee key ko's on bulkier things.


Yuo NEED Timid as speed is one of Ninetales biggest assets.

hmm another question: what would be the best replacement for a latias ?

What type of set? Since Latias can fill different roles, there are multiple replacements for it.

life orb one with surf draco recover etc.

life orb one with surf draco recover etc.

MixMence is probably your best bet. It has Draco Meteor and recovery as well, and isn't walled as easily. Dragonite can do the same thing, although not quite as well imo. There are also a ton of other options for other life orb sweepers.

How does one use a Dual Screen-Memento Latios correctly? I am confused as to how it works.

 

[thatoneguy]

Platinum Tyranitar??

Tyranitar:

EVs: Speed-180 HP-76 Attack- 254

-Dragon Dance
-Crunch (thinking of replacing)
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake

Being that I have Platinum, I know that there are new moves to Tyranitar. What would be a good replacement for crunch, possibly?

Set up both screens and then memento them..lol

It works better if you have a strategy to support it.

Dual Screen Latios ---> Baton pass/Rock Polish/Swords Dance/Taunt Gliscor--->Physical Sweeper (usually Metagross).

Basically by using Memento you guarantee Gliscor can set up as you force them to switch and when ev'd correctly all non stab Ice Beams are a 3hko under light screen on glis.

Kay, now another question lol, for you see I cannot keep up with Smogon. Is Deoxys-Speed Forme still on the suspect ladder?

Nope it was banned a few days after suspect ladder began.

No it isn't, I tried yesterday and it didn't let me. =(

You can still use all the other suspects though iirc.

Wow thats gay.

Okay, thanks. for the info.

 

[The Hero Without a Name]

Crunch on DDTar is one move you should NEVER replace: It's a reliable Dark STAB.

Also go Jolly 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe @ Babiri Berry so you can survive a Scizor Bullet Punch and OHKO back.

What EVs should I get on my shiny Milotic?

Pokemon:
Milotic

Item:
Leftovers

Nature:Impish (It makes me sad inside)

Moveset:
-Sleep Talk
-Rest
-Surf
-Ice Beam

If an Impish Milotic is really that horrible, may I still be recommended EVs?

Drop Flash Cannon for Grass Knot. Steel moves have awful coverage, and that STAB boost isn't really doing much. Use Trick as well.

Just letting you know, most (if not all) teams rely on resistances and immunities to be effective. So technically, every team is a "resistance" team. So when you're building a team, it should, by definition, be able to take advantage of each members unique resistances and such.

That said, make sure you're picking the pokes that will be the most effective for their roles. Skuntank, Sableye and Lanturn are, for the most part, outclassed by OU counterparts.

s ive said i'm not playing OU Pokemon if possible...

Plus by resistance it means the Pokemon sololy resisted to as many as it can be...
