    I was fighting my freind on shoddy today and the rules were Anything goes exept for OU and Uber

    I used a Pidgeot and came up with a good set but im afraid that it goes against Evasion Clause

    Pidgeot@ Figy/Wiki/Mago/Agauv/Iapapa Berry
    Nature:Bold
    Trait: Tangled Feet
    EVs: 252 Defence/252 HP/4 Speed
    -Feather Dance
    -Roost
    -Tailwind
    -U-Turn
    A Def.Tank.With the berry it restores health + confuses which boosts evasion.Roost to regain HP.Tailwind for Support.Last FeatherDance is for weakening Psyical Attackers.

    I was wondering is this set Legal

    This is actually a very interesting question. First off though, I'd say it wouldn't go against the clause. It's the pokemon's ability that is being put to use, therefore I don't think it's that big of a deal. Usually the evasion clause has to do with moves that raise evasion or reduce accuracy. I think you're safe with it. It's kind of hard to find an official definition on the clauses, therefore you can't really make an exact conclusion.

    It's just most explanations of the rule state no moves that lower hit rate. They do mention items as well (such as Bright Powder) but in this case, it technically isn't the item causing the evasion boost, is it? I look at it as somewhat of a Snow Cloak type thing.

    Hey I know it's not required but where's a good place to get graphics of Pokemon to stick in an RMT thread?

    Manaphy @ Damp Rock
    EVs: 4 HP/252 SpA/252 Spe
    Moves:
    -Rain Dance
    -Surf
    -Grass Knot
    -Rest

    This is for Suspect not Ubers so there is no Kyogre support.
    What you think?

    It's nature is Rash btw but I can't do anything to change it since I don't feel like playing Pokemon Ranger all over again.

    "Good luck"

    And the sub set or LO attacker are by far its most menacing sets in suspect.

    Manaphy@Leftovers
    252 HP / 80 SP.ATT / 176 SPEED
    Timid Nature
    - Substitute
    - Surf
    - Tail Glow / Calm Mind
    - Ice Beam

    101 hp subs to beat bliss.

    or

    Manaphy@Life Orb
    80 HP / 252 SP.ATT / 176 SPEED
    Timid Nature
    - Tail Glow / Calm Mind
    - Surf
    - Ice Beam
    - Energy Ball

    A simple yet powerful set. Energy Ball >> Grass Knot to beat other Manaphy.

    So Manaphy's Hydration can't really be played on in Suspect?

    Also torn between Tail Glow and Calm Mind? Guess Calm Mind helps with the SpD boost since my Manaphy in-game is Rash and I can't do the Ranger event again. Then I again I love Tail Glow sweeps.

    Brave on Heracross = major no-no. You want Adamant or Jolly depending on the set. But for Swords Dance, you want a Jolly Nature, 252 Attack / 6 Special Defense / 252 Speed.

    252 HP / 64 Attack / 176 Defense / 16 Speed on Skarmory is the standard spread.

  • I have breed a Mudkip to train again to a Swampert.
    His Nature is Adament and im trying to EV him (My first proper time to EV train so I hope im doing it right)
    I have been raising his attack at mo but cos he is such a low level I have been going against Gyarados by making him go first then switch to another Pkmn to defeat it, I know by doing this his attack doesnt go bigger and bigger like +4 +8 etc... it just sticks on +2
    So im trying to raise his Attack then Def/Speed and HP
    and the moves will be
    Earthquake/Waterfall..

    then I dont if I should teach him Avalanche (like my last Swampert knew) or Ice Punch..any ideas

    and what other move can I teach him?
    Thanks

    just so you know, you can use the EXP share on the pokemon that ur evin, it will
    give 2 evs to both pokes, the battler and the mudkip that you are trainig when you battle gyarados
    on a choice band set give it icepunch as it does more damage to incoming pokes but on a curse set avalanch does more due to the speed drop

    @above:if your goin to give swampert hidden power it needs electric to hurt gyrados but stone edge does the job pretty well aswell

  • get rid of stone edge for ice punch or avalanch

    Ok I think about these thanks for both of your help..

    But one ting why Surf over Waterfall? Doesnt Waterfall do more damage as its Physical attack and Swamperts Att is Higher than Sp.Att?
    And with Hidden Power how would I make it to Electirc or Ice As I never tried that before..


    At mo my Marshtop is

    Lv.25

    HP 47
    Att 62
    Def 41
    Sp Att 34
    Sp Def 46
    Speed 37

    So I think (Hope) Its working..I have used 120EV out of 510 so far and I still need to raise its HP/DEF/SPEED

    This what I was going to do 104HP/204ATT/100DEF/100SPEED
    Unless you think I should change that.

    Thanks

    Adamant requires an all-physical moveset, which rules out Surf and Hidden Power.

    Use Earthquake/Waterfall/Stone Edge/Ice Punch.
