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.

Both can take dark pulse so i dont need to calculate.

Hidden power Fighting is standard on shoddy and people run it

Porygon z Modest after a download boost.252 sp.att

Download? Who uses that?

And how is that possible is Regirock has HIGHER special defense than Registeel? O_O There's obviously something wrong with that calc.

Regirock gets 448 SDef with that spread.

Registeel only get 409 SDef. Even with max SDef it's only 438, so it's impossible for it to do more damage to Regirock. It would actually do MORE to Registeel.

I think you're leaving sandstorm out of these >.>

I used metal kids calc and i put sandstorm on, unless metal kids doesnt actually take it into account.

Well there was some flaw, since that calc was mathematically impossible.

Please no Hidden Power Dragon. Ice gives you more coverage and 4x hits on most dragons.

Gardevoiror gallade?

That's too broad of a question. Probably gallade since it has slightly better typing and a more powerful STAB, but it's pretty even...

 

[Dark Destiny]

gallade has 125 base attack
wheres gardoir have 125 spc att
everyhing else is same

wow, so i guess it depends on what type of team youu'd use

Hidden Power ice is really awkward >.< It's impossible for you to get 31 IVs in speed AND hidden power ice :( That's a shame.

I have a really big problem at the moment with my stall team.

It's been doing great in any battle...except ones that include Skarmory and Bronzong, who stall the crap out of me. I put Thunderbolt on Uxie to scare away Skarmory, and Fire punch on Dusknoir and Regirock help a boatload. What I really need help with is Bronzong...

I do have Fire punch on Dusknoir and Regirock, but this hasn't been enough. How can you effectively defeat a bronzong with the given pokemon? (Hippowdon, Uxie, Regirock, Blissey, Dusknoir, forretress)?

Id put Curse on Regirock along with Fire Punch, if its a Heatproof one (You can tell by the damage usually) , send hippo after it.

Good idea, hahaha

CM Grass Knot is annoying though :( But yeah, I'll go with a cursing set and see how it goes.

Hey I'm still curious to know if counter blissey is effective.

 

[Cloud_85]

A question, I need a good Fire wall, What Is the best option.
I have a Brozong with Levitate and Regice, My other Idea was Weezing. He's really good but It's not the best counter of Fire....

All three of those wouldn't wall a fire type. Instead I'd choose Hippowdon. He's got ground and can learn Stone Edge. Perfect candidate for what you're trying to do. If you don't want the Sandstorm, choose Milotic I guess. Has water. xD

Ok Both are good choices, I tink I will take Milotic, cause I alredy have A ground Pokemon(Garchomp and the Storm I have it with T-Tar.

Thanks anyways

So if I have a 24 iv in attack, should I consider counter over ice beam or thunderwave for blissey?
