Thank you i see your logic in roost over recover, ive just migrated him so i suppose i can do that now. I dont think aeroblast should be ruled out as sucky though it is a very powerfull move and high crit makes it all the better, i might replace psychic though on the basis that youre right.
 
Aeroblast has low PP which, when surrounded by a whole bunch of Pokemon that have Pressure ability, amounts to nothing. It's not really Super Effective on anything either. Thunder + Ice Beam give the legendary Bolt-Beam combo which is resisted by almost nothing.
 
I would do hp ice, as you already have brick break. Umm... I think that raichu could be a pretty effective revenge killer, but for a standard special sweeper I think there are much better options like electivire. I think maybe a special attack revenge killer would be nice for raichu. (Change your EV spread to 252 s.atk/speed 4/def and then change brick break to focus blast, volt tackle to thunderbolt, and use hp ice as the fourth slot. IDK just my opinion. I haven't officially started wifi battling (still building my team) so take this with a grain of salt. I've watched a TON of youtube battle videos though.



ANYWAYS I HAVE A QUESTION AS WELL.

Is chansey just as useable in OU as blissey? It seems that people look down on blissey users, and I've seen Uutton use chansey very very well against OU pokes. I was thinking of adding chansey to my team.

So.. chansey or blissey?
 
I'm planning on making a Wobbuffet with EVs for HP, DEF and SPD, but I have two wynauts to do it with, and I don't know which one will be better by Lvl 100.

Here they are: (They are both Level 1)

Wynaut 1
Serious Nature
Capable of taking hits
HP: 13
ATK: 5
DEF: 6
SP.ATK: 5
SP.DEF: 6
SPD: 5

Wynaut 2
Bold Nature
Proud of its power
HP: 13
ATK: 4
DEF: 6
SP.ATK: 5
SP.DEF: 6
SPD: 5

Yeah, so one has a better nature, and one has better stats... Can you guys help me decide which one to use? I also have another Wynaut, but its stats and nature are pretty horrible....

Thanks in advance

Edit: The Bold one may seem like the obvious one, but the other Wynaut might have alot better IVs.... I dunno. But then again... the other crappy Wynaut I have might have awesome IVs...

Bold one is already better with the nature. Still though, IVs need to be found, so have an IV battle. If the Bold one doesn't have good IVs, rebreed
 
Okay, here are the stats after the IV Battle:

Wynaut 1
HP: 314
ATK: 63
DEF: 132
SP.ATK: 57
SP.DEF: 114
SPD: 69

Wynaut 2
HP: 311
ATK: 59
DEF: 125
SP.ATK: 62
SP.DEF: 114
SPD: 57

I'm no expert on IVs (or anything else for that matter....), and I have no idea if Wynaut 2 is decent or not. So... Do you think it's good enough to be worth training to 100?
 
Hey I'm working on making a solid team with shinies. I want to start with my shiny Huntail (Male, Careful, Swift Swim). It was hatched with the moves Clamp, Water Gun, Whirlpool, and Iron Defense. What's the recommendation on an eventual move set and the direction I should try to EV?

HP/Atk/Def/SpA/SpD/Spe
1: 14/12/31/6/13/18
2: 11/15/13/11/13/6

Really, the Serious one is better IV wise. To be honest though, I wouldn't say they are worth using.

Careful is one of the worst natures on Huntail, it lowers his his second offensive stat (Special Attack), and boosts a useless stat that he never uses (Special Defense). That means you can't go mixed with it. Nevertheless, look here (click).
 
Okay then, I guess I'll keep rebreeding until I get a Bold Wynaut with good EVs... Dam that's going to take ages... Any way to speed things up?

I'm not an expert on breeding, but you can try the Female holding an Everstone Nature trick. That would help a bit with Nature picking. Then, you can try RNG abuse, but that takes a lot of time.

Does Gengar absorb Toxic Spikes?
Click to expand...

Im not sure since it levitates , but maybe it absorbs Toxic Spikes thanks to its poison typing

I got a question about Scizor using Pursuit , its base power is 40 and with technician is 60 , so when it hits the running pokemon , does that 60 doubles to 120 ? or it will return to 40 and hit with 80 ?

I'm pretty sure it doesn't, it states grounded Poison Pokemon absorb it and Gengar has Levitate.

@Chaostorm : I'm pretty sure it's 80 power since Technician won't activate because it doubles first then it's 80 power and doesn't get the boost but I may be wrong =x
 
Ok, so i'm looking for a set for Medicham.
I don't know whether to go physical or special. I haven't caught it yet, so nature is whatever's best
 
Thanks for the advice on Huntail. How does a relaxed nature work on the shiny Magnemite, and bold on Krabby?

A choice set is pretty much the only practical set for Medicham:

Medicham @ Choice Band / Choice Scarf
Jolly / Adamant
4 HP / 252 Attack / 252 Speed
Hi Jump Kick / Brick Break
Psycho Cut
Ice Punch
Thunder Punch

You need great prediction to use Medicham effectively, and that's partially why it's been dropped to the NU tier. But this is your basic Band/Scarf set.

A Relaxed nature on any pokemon raises its defense by 10% and lowers its speed by 10%. Bold would raise defense by 10% and lower attack by 10%. There's a list of all the natures and their effects in the compiled guides sticky.
 
i have two questions

1. should i use grass knot or ice beam on a sub petaya empoleon
2. what is a good counter for a zapdos running hp grass?
