Well that's why I mentioned he used 2 different moves. Because the scarf that ups speed only allows use of 1 move. I thought hacked pokemon aren't able to be used. That pisses me off since it was my only loss

So I just battled an Exeggutor via wifi. It was faster then both my Scizor and Breloom and I've EV trained both in speed to their max. I don't understand. It used hidden power and leaf storm so neither were strike first moves. How can it be faster?
What're your Pokemon's natures, and speed IVs? A Max-Speed Timid Exeggutor can speed tie with an Adamant Scizor. If you've got crappy speed IVs, or a counter-productive nature, it becomes much more plausible that an Exeggutor could outspeed your Scizor or Breloom.
And were there any other factors in play, such as Sunny Day (activating its Chlorophyll), or Trick Room?
Blissy is extremely slow and relatively weak, so you're going to want more then one Calm Mind set up anyway. Being as slow as it is, it's main focus will be surviving, you'll probably want maximum HP and defense.Can someone advise me on a good EV Spread for my Blissey? I want to get some offensive use out of her, and I have a Modest natured gal with Natural Cure and what appears to have 31 IVs in Attack (irrelevant, but there you are), Defense, and Special Attack.
This is what I have in mind for her moves:
--Calm Mind
--Softboiled
--Ice Beam
--Thunderbolt (Possibly Flamethrower, I haven't decided yet)
I'm torn on where to place her EVs -- I'm definitely thinking 252 in Special Attack, but I'm not sure whether to focus on HP or Defense, or divvy up the EVs between the two. Thoughts?

However, Blissy still will not take physical hits very well, so it might be better to use Eviolite Chansy and focus on removing enemy fighting types before using it. Also, if possible, Serene Grace is a better ability, since you'll be using BoltBeam.
Any wat to make my haaxorus work (in terms of teams)

Hello all,
I recently EV trained a Larvesta (obviously to become a volcarona) with 252evs in Sp.A, 152evs in Spe., and 100evs in Sp.D. I'm not big on IVs so I didn't pay much attention there, however it does have a careful nature (I wanted to add some bulk.
My issue is that it's Sp.A is only 199 at level 65 now and doesn't seem to be on any pace to be as high as it should be. In wondering where I could have gone wrong in the training process or if it will eventually catch up to where it should be
Careful is really bad for this pokemon as it drops it's s.atk. Calm or bold is what you want for bulk I personally prefer modest for attacking but its you choice and don't forget the IVs either they need to be decent if you using it competitively.
More Bold than Calm in the case of Volcarona, as its Defense is abysmally low compared to its Special Defense, and you typically want to boost the one that is lower.
Depends on whether you want to try to reduce heavy damage or try to force more stuff out if you boost Volcarona's s.def then you might wall a special attacker that lacks a proper coverage move otherwise boosting the def is the better option.
Hi guys, I have a rhyperior on my VGC team and I was wondering what a good item would be for it. It has earthquake, rock slide, megahorn, and protect with 252 attack evs and 252 Hp evs. Also this is a trick room team. Thank you for all suggestions. Also I have a chandelure that needs and item. It knows heat wave, shadow ball, pain split, and energy ball with 252 Hp evs and 252 sp attack evs.
