Ok lol. Oh yeah does anyone this this is the best iv spread a bold blissey can have, or should I aim for higher: 31/4/31/24/31/27

 

[Harpuia]

turn 1:

They switch in something while you lay down toxispikes

They aren't poisoned right away, and they're not going to blindly sit there and let you stall them to death, they're going to switch out.

exactly when they switch out they will get poisoned

that is really good max defense, SDef and HP is really all it needs unles your running ice beam.

 

[Justin T]

I was thinking about that, but I heard that counter bliss is really effective. So I wouldn't know if counter should replace ice beam.

 

[evilcheese]

why put counter on a pokemon with a base attack of 30?

 

[luke]

Please learn how an attack works evilcheese before commenting. Counter takes the amount of damage done to the user and send it back with twice the power. So if Blissey loses 400 HP, the opponent will lose 800 HP.

 

[Justin T]

Yes. So I'm wondering if counter is a choice move to use with a blissey.

 

[evilcheese]

sorry loqacity i thought it just double the power you took and then sent it back with twice the power not hp. i guess its ok then but if thats your only attack idk. theyll switch or use a special move and blissey is attackless.

 

[Justin T]

No It would have seismic toss. I'm just wondering if it should be that opposed to ice beam because it would have this iv spread: 31/4/31/24/31/27

I have a really important question...

I'm making another team, mostly for fun, but I need help with something...I do have sandstorm support, and two pokemon that would fit well into what I want to do with the team are Regirock and Registeel.

While Regirock is just a more sturdy Registeel in a sandstorm and has higher Atk, Registeel has superior defensive typing and I have support to back them both up.

It needs to have both Toxic and Explosion for sure, and something to beat up Porygon-Z with.

Also, I do have a hippowdon, and I somewhat fear piling on weaks with Regirock.

So, knowing what you do, would you pick Regirock or Registeel for my team?

Registeel is the best switch into porygon -Z

Registeel@Leftovers
252 HP / 252 SP.DEF / 6 DEF
Sassy Nature
~ Hammer Arm
~ Ice Punch
~ Toxic
~ Explosion

I like this, its a Nazi lol

Hammer Arm goes *Booooosh* and pimp smacks Porygon-z around XD, You got toxic and explosion, Ice Punch deals with Garchomp and stuff but can be replaced with Zap Cannon so you can pull off a double status.

Registeel@leftovers
252 HP / 252 Def / 6 Spe
Sassy / Calm / Careful nature
~ Rest
~ Iron Defense
~ Amnesia
~ Toxic

This is just for fun, or " 1 h34rd joo leik s74ll1ng ?"

 

[Dark Destiny]

to be honest it's really up to you

I'm think of having a good togikiss in my team
what would/should it's movesets/ev's be?

Regirock takes Pory Z better with Sandstorm support with its normal resist and higher SDef. that's not a deciding factor really :P

Sadly Sandstorm really isnt enough for Regirock, it still gets wasted by sp.attacks in sandstorm =(

Registeel resists Dark Pulse, Tri Attack, Ice Beam and is neutral to Thunderbolt.

Actually i may use the Registeel i posted in my previous post as a Porygon-z counter, a shame it has mediocre attack.

Think again!

Regirock has 100 base special defense, meaning it takes special hits like Articuno will take a physical hit. Now add sand stream.

Its max SDef is 328, which in sandstorm is 492. That's Regice-good. Actually, it's even better if Regice has no SDef EVs like usual.

Or, you can run my spread:

Regirock @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 56 Atk / 56 Def / 144 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Toxic
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Explosion

That allows for 450 Def, 250 Atk, and 299 Special Defense, which gets higher in a sandstorm (448).

As you can see, stat-wise it totally out-walls Registeel and can attack better...but its typing really puts me off since I have a Hippowdon on my team. That's where the evil decision comes in >:0

Hey is sassy a good nature for dusclops?

 

[Dark Azelf]

Hey is sassy a good nature for dusclops?

Yep, Sassy is a great nature for it

Careful is better, but it doesn't really matter since it's slower than George Bush saying a word longer than 10 letters :0

So, yes, sassy is good.

With surf (Most Bulky Stars ive seen on shoddy now run Hydro pump which is a 2hko)

You said Regirock still dies to special attacks, taking a supereffective STAB attack from an OU special sweeper isn't really fair.

See how Regirock takes Dark pulse from a choice specs Pory Z. That should about prove that Regirock doesn't die to special attacks.

Besides, what kind of idiot would leave Regirock in on Starmie? I have other stuff to take those hits.
