aggron help

[KingBattlus]

i have two baby aggron, bred with tyranitar for earthquake, but i'm not sure which one to go with. i have either a jolly, or a naughty, both with relatively good IVs where they count. final moveset will be something like:

focus punch
earthquake
double-edge
counter/thunder wave/rock slide

i planned on using him for double battles on XD so i won't really be using rock slide due to the power split, but i'm not sure what else could go there. potw (though not always the best) recommended jolly nature for a choice banded variety--where rock slide might come into play--but i dont know if i should go with that, or the naughty one with leftovers and thunder wave/counter. switching isn't quite as common in double battles as single, so i'm also contemplating whether or not focus punch will see much use. protect is always an option (especially with aggron's quadruple weakness to earthquake), as is iron tail for raw power (albeit 70% accuracy). suggestions appreciated.
also if anyone has sites besides smogon (seems to be down today) that give reliable EV spreads for most other pokemon those are welcome as well.

jolly doesnt help u seeing aggron is already slow anyway try

aggron@lefties
adamant
-EQ
-double-edge
-t wave
-focus punch/metal claw/brick break

if u cant predict focus punch right use brick break metal claw is for stab and raising the attack mainly stab though

It's ingame; it's not like you can actually predict. It's more complete guessing.

 

[howdodo]

then replace focus punch with something

actually in the orre colosseum in XD they do switch, so prediction is something i would need, though for anything else, switching is unlikely.

i'll probably just throw iron tail on there for now and if i have the focus punch TM still i'll use it. but for the nature, should i raise the adamant one with lower IVs in attack, defense and speed, or the naughty one with better attack, defense, speed and special defense (though it will be lower overall due to the nature)??

I think it might depend on how different the IVs are. One thing you could try if you have a good idea of what the IVs are is use the IV calc. on the main site to see which one will end up with better stats. It might take some guess and check work due to the layout of the IV calc (you have to input stats not IVs), but that should give you a good answer. Otherwise, if you are of the mathematical type/know some simple programming, you could do the reverse IV calcs (using the IV eqns on the site and some simple algebra) and see what stats you'll end up with that way.

I hope that made sense...haha
