Dark Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 People do that all the time. I've done that before, as well, although I rarely play on WiFi so I really just take a team and dick around with the movesets and some EV spreads. If you see a good team, it's not morally wrong to take that team for yourself, as long as you don't claim you made it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engetsu Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I got a Deino with 21 Sp.Atk IV's (It has Timid nature w/Alert to Sounds). Even though I would prefer not to start over again, should I? Or can it work with only 21 Sp.Atk IV's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or can it work with only 21 Sp.Atk IV's? If it has a 31 Speed IV, don't bother starting over. 21 SpA IVs are more than enough to run with, and it won't mean huge differences in damage. There are very few scenarios where the extra 10 stat points will come in handy, and those scenarios are situational are best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleOnceCalledGod Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Ok, I finished my team, except my Dragonite lacks multiscale *the dream world wasn't up ;-;*Also, I decided to base some of them off of Touhou Characters *don't judge me* and other various stuff.

Tentacruel Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Okay, for almost the first time in my history of lurking near the Pokemon metagame, I'm going to train a Salamence. That being said, what would be best? DDance set? Choice? Mix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleOnceCalledGod Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 It depends on what your team needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 It depends on what your team needs. jabroni stole mah post ChoiceMence is really only used if... no, it really is never used. CB Mence is just lulzy in General because of all the things that sit above 100 (101, 108, all this random crap), and ScarfMence is just... weird. I've never used a ScarfMence, so I don't know how useful it is. If you want a mid-game to late-game sweeper, use DD Mence, otherwise stick with MixMence. Those were the two defining sets of Mence in Gen IV, and I assume much hasn't changed in the transition to Gen V. That being said, however, use SpecsMence. It shows you have balls.

Engetsu Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I got a Gyarados with max attack IV's and 25 speed IV's (It has Adamant nature w/Likes to Thrash About), but horrible defense IV's, which is 5. ._. I plan on running a Dragon Dance set, so should I try again and aim for better defense IV's, or can Intimidate compensate for the lack of defense?

Daft Punk Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Is my Chandelure any good? AbilityShadow Tag - Shadow Tag prevents the foe from switching out. (Baton Pass still works I think) ItemUndecided, maybe Focus Slash - If the holder has full HP and is hit by an attack that would otherwise cause fainting, it can survive with 1 HP. Attacks - Will-o-Wisp - Will-O-Wisp inflicts a burn on the target. It has no effect on Fire-type Pokémon. - Memento? - Memento causes the user to faint but lowers the Attack and Special Attack stat of the target by two stages each. - Night Shade? - Night Shade inflicts damage equal to the user's level. (Will play level 100) Hits Psychics but not Normals (I think), - Heat Wave - Heat Wave inflicts damage and has a 10% chance of burning the target. Heat Wave hits all other opposing Pokémon in double and triple battles. The reason why I have Memento in their is to weaken sweepers before Chandelure dies, although most sweepers are faster than Chandelure so I'm not sure about this move. Question marks mean I'm slightly doubting these moves and thinking of a replacement. EDIT: Almost forgot EV distribution. EVs 248 Spd 252 SAtk 8 HPTimid Nature BTW, if you could tell, I am new to Competitive Pokemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~British Soul~ Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 i was in wellspring cave and a dust cloud came up with an oval stone, is that normal, because i was expecting Drillbur (BTW this is pre-nat. dex) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Unless I read Night Shade wrong, doesn't it do more damage? Wait, when it means damage, is it referring to Base Damage, or Actual Damage?No. It's damage is your level. So LV 100 does 100 damage. Shadow Balls damage changes based on stats and effectiveness. Over all, Chandelure set is bad. Aside from the already mentioned Shadow Ball, your Chan is a sweeper, so Memento is horrible to use (it's a bad move in general) your only focus should be killing, not lowering stats.Not only that, but they can just switch out to get rid of the drop. Overheat is better then Heat Wave since it's a hit and run pokemon anyway. Wisp is best on defensive pokemon, something Chan is not. The standard set for him is thisItem: Choice ScarfEVs: SPE 252 SpATK 252Moves: Energy Ball, Overheat, Shadow Ball, Hidden Power/Trick +Choice ScarfModestIce BeamToxicFlash CannonMirror Coat +Razor Claw(?)Adamant.MegahornIron HeadPoison Jab(?)Swords Dance +LeftoversCalmHydro Pump ThunderBoltWill-O-WispReflect/Light Screen +Sitrus BerryAdamantStone EdgeEarthquakeDragon ClawIron Head +Lum BerryImpishLeaf BladeX-ScissorSwords DanceReturn +Expert BeltQuietNight DazeShadow BallFocus BlastFlamethrowerAll I need to figure out the EV spreads, any advice?Depending on what the pokemon is doing EVs can be really simple. For sweepers max SPE and main attack stat, Walls max HP and main defensive stat, for tanks max HP and main attacking. Side from Rotom your team should be able to follow this general rule. i was in wellspring cave and a dust cloud came up with an oval stone, is that normal, because i was expecting Drillbur (BTW this is pre-nat. dex)Yea. While Drillbur is common you can find various stones in them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's pure sweeper you should be able to get away with that. Up to you really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good EV spreads? Terrible EV spreads? Still open to advice.From my understanding of pokemon stats the priority for defensive pokemon is always HP. The defensive stats come next. IMO you'll want to focus on Buggy's DEF and Wash's SpDEF. It's a waste to do anthing with Leafon's HP. It's defensives are crappy at best so you'll still die just as fast.

TheTurtleOnceCalledGod Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 It would also be good to note that is a pokemon is to be a wall, it is often better to focus one one defense over another, and switch to the other with the opposite defense bonuses as necessary. This maximizes ones ability to take hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Fascist Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Thinking of playing Competitive Pokemonz. A few questions: - What pokemon currently has the highest base stats all around?- What pokemon that isn't banned/Uber that has the highest SPEED stat?- What is a decent Special defence and defence wall?- Decent attackers?

burnpsy Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 - What pokemon currently has the highest base stats all around?- What pokemon that isn't banned/Uber that has the highest SPEED stat? Arceus. Deoxys-S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Fascist Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Arceus. Deoxys-S. The highest speed stat non-legendary is Ninjask according to Bulbapedia. It can learn X-Scissor, Solarbeam, Baton Pass and some other moves I might like. Other than that It's movepool is awful. Is it worth putting in my team as the first pokemon(Raise evade, then baton pass to my attacker? Is that viable?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleOnceCalledGod Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Deoxys - S is non-uber, in fact, I think it might even be BL or something. Its speed is ridiculous, it can put up layers, and other such. Overall, the only thing that keeps it from being broken is its hitpoints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
