"Ask a Question" Thread and Team Building Links

Hopefully this will stop the mounds of threads asking a single question from being posted.

"Ask a Question" Thread Rules:
Ask a simple question about 4th Generation Competitive Play ONLY.
That means:
- No asking where to find sprites.
- No asking what level a Pokemon learns a move.

Things TO ask:
- What Pokemon would be best to complete my team?
- What EVs should I use on this Pokemon?
- What is the best set to use for this Pokemon?

Useful Team Building Links:

Since Wish Blissey is going to be banned, I'm at a loss for a Special Wall/Wish-Passer.

Could I use Clefable?

It's what I've been using. Uh, let me get the set.

Clefable (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 212 HP/252 Def/4 Spd/40 SDef
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Wish
- Ice Beam
- Protect
- Stealth Rock

Is what I have been using lately. You can of course swap around the defenses to your liking.

That always survives +2 Garchomp Earthquake and 1HKOs with Ice Beam. General support. Best used with Toxic Spikes support. You could use Thunder or TWave over Stealth Rock if you wish.

Does not really matter. It only really needs two moves it learns from levelling, Rapid Spin and Recover. The other moves are TMs.
