varanus_komodoensis
they call me Varanus
Okay, I have a few questions:
1. Which is better, hyper offense, bulky offense or stall?
2. How common is Sticky Web
3. What is a good bulky offense core?
4. What is a good stall core?
Thanks in advance
1. It depends on how you like to play. Although I will say that I think that a hyper-offense set isn't a great idea in today's metagame because setup is so common. Hyper-offense sets also usually don't work very well against stall teams or very bulky Pokemon (at least in my experience), which is why status, like burn and poison, are almost necessary sometimes. My Toxic Spikes/Scald Tentacruel paired with Sand Stream Tyranitar can take down a hyper offense team almost every time by stalling and spamming Protect while Toxic Spikes does all of the work for me. However, there are teams that beat them very easily. But whichever one you choose is up to your personal preference.
2. I don't run into Sticky Web a whole lot, but it can make the difference between winning and losing if your opponent has lots of fast Pokemon, like Scizor or Garchomp. Galvantula is a great Pokemon, and I should consider using it
3. I can't answer this very well because I don't use bulky offense much, but I would say Venusaur is probably a good choice here.
4. My stall core is Toxic Spikes/Scald/Protect/Rapid Spin Tentacruel OR Taunt/Will-O-Wisp/Recover/Foul Play Prankster Sableye (depending on what the opponent has) with Sand Stream Tyranitar. I have a SubSeed Harvest Trevenant that I use with them sometimes, but that set is very gimmicky and only works in specific situations. Most of the time I put a sweeper with Tentacruel/Sableye and Tyranitar, and that works well for teams that can only have 3 Pokemon on them. My team needs work though. I REALLY need Ice Beam. I'm sure there are better stall cores out there.
I was breeding eevee's and hatched a shiny 5iv modest, run away, eevee a few weeks ago. It has the moveset yawn, charm, curse, and wish. It's been sitting in my PC box because I don't know what to do with it. I've done some research and this is a summary of what I found: Sylveon, umbreon, and vaporeon seem to work better as defensive pokemon, Jolteon is more reliant on speed, Flareon and leafeon are better suited as physical attackers or you could add some bulk on them, and espeon is useless without its hidden ability. That leaves me with glaceon.
But isn't glaceon also better with its hidden ability snow cloak?
I already have many other 5iv eevees that could fulfill the role of any of the eeveelutions. The point of using this shiny is to use my first competitively bred, shiny pokemon in battle. I don't want it to stay in my box of useless shinies.
If you have any suggestions please tell me. Also, if this is the wrong thread for this question, please direct me to the correct one.
Thank you!
I ran into a similar problem a few weeks ago, too. I hatched a shiny Hardy Eevee with Yawn/Curse/Wish, and I had to decide what to evolve it into. I chose Umbreon because of its nature, IVs, and moves, but since yours is Modest, I personally think I'd go with Sylveon and teach it Moonblast/Yawn/Wish/something else.
