I have a quick question, for a special sweeper Jolteon, what would be the best nature?

Jolteon isn't really the best pokémon for that job, as there aren't many Special moves to choose from. It's commonly used as a Batton Passer, and an effective one at that. However, if you really wish for it to be solely used for sweeping, Timid / Modest is what's recommended.

 

[Kaphei]

Thanks for the suggestion dude ;D

 

[Azonic]

Its Timid always, it can outrun Weavile that way.

 

[ABYAY]

Thanks for that Azelf; I guess I have someone new to train ^^

Hidden Power varies in power from 30-70, as well as type, on a pokemon's IVs.

Always Timid on Jolteon, although its top isn't special sweeping.

where is a good place to ev train a special wall?

 

[evilcheese]

for HP gastrodons and bidoofs for SP. defense tentacruels and dewgongs

 

[Harpuia]

yeah i've already established that but i'm asking where?

 

[evilcheese]

dewgongs and tentacruels next to the fight area. bidoofs at the start of the journey above twinleaf. and gastrodons next to canalve

Is it possible for a modest shiny alakazam with 31 IVs in sp.atk to have 409 EVs in sp.atk?

It's impossible; the highest is 405 sp. atk for Modest Alakazam with max sp. atk EVs as well, and the max EVs for ANY stat is 255, preferred 252 because anything above 252 is just waste.

 

[evilcheese]

having 409 evs in one stat is impossible for any pokemon unless you hack

EDIT:
you beat me ABYAY

Guys, I need a Sp Sweeper that is strong, but has EXCELLENT Speed. Well, I came up with this:

Sceptile @ Choice Specs
Timid
252 SATK/SPD, 6HP
Focus Blast
Energy Ball
Dragon Pulse
HP Rock

Suggestions?

Eh, starmie isn't very powerful (100 base SAtk) and isn't bulky with its horribly low HP and average defenses. It is quite fast though.

I've found that a fast and powerful sweeper is choice specs Gengar. the thing is a MONSTER.

lol i thought you used a baton pass from ambiopm

Something tells me darkknight doesn't if power is the concern. My team doesn't worry about power, Ambipom takes care of that. But you can't say the same for people who don't have NP passers.

Choice Scarf anything with 120+ base SAtk and wtach the suffering. Ever Scarfed an alakazam? Think of it as a faster Scarfed Porygon Z, though it lacks double STAB. Speaking of which, Pory Z works wonders as well.

what iv's are nessscary to get a base power of 70 fighting?

 

[ABYAY]

My team doesn't run a Baton Passer; usually each of my pokemon can help themselves in situations such as those. Curse Passers would hurt me though... that's about it.

And for HP fighting at 70 power... my god that's very technical and hard to answer. lol the only way I know how to do it is by jotting in random IVs into a calculator.

If I rare candy trained a pokemon, then fed it all the vitamin things like Calcium, Zinc, etc

how much weaker would it be than a normal poke?
