I am thinking about running this set for my Tyranitar

;248;
Tyranitar @ Expert Belt
Ability: Sand Stream
Nature: Brave
-Focus Punch
-Stone Edge
-Fire Blast
-Ice Beam

I was wondering how to properly allocate my EVs but I'm not 100 certain at this point. I was thinking about having this for my Pokemon.

252 Atk / 104 SpA / 26 SpD / 122 HP

I want to hear what you guys think or if you think that the EVs can be allocated better feel free to post it.

Hi, guys
I was thinking if a Clefable would be good to train
Cuz it´d have Magic Armor
(Is it this?)
:p

So, as far as I got, the Clefable wouldnt suffer from Special Damage
So, I´d train EVly Def, and any Attk, with Meteor Mash, Softboiled,Metronome and dunno, something
=D

So, whatcha think?
=)

I have a Shiny Larvitar. I was thinking of going with this moveset, but I can't teach it pursuit. What should I put in place of pursuit?

Tyranitar@Choice Band
Adamant
252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Moveset
~ Crunch
~ Stone Edge
~ Earthquake
~ Pursuit

Also do you think using Life Orb or leftovers will be better than Choice Band? I've never actually used it before and I'm not sure if I'll like having to switch out to use a different attack.

@ Dig-Kun

Wow, using Metronome is like winning ten cents in the lottery; it rarely works, but if it does, the payoff is low.

I've found Clefable to be good at using Facade, personally. Throw Toxic Orb on Clef and Facade becomes a powerful STAB without the damage

I've always said this to every person who asks this; what is the rest of your team? It would depend on what the rest of your team is

the rest of the team doesnt matter, i want to know which is better based on their own merit.

and if i didnt use baton pass on jolteon, would it still be a better choice than manectric?

Magnetric is inferior in almost every way. All it has that Jolteon doesn't is access to fire type moves. Magnetric has such a lack of other moves however, that the standard Choice Specs set actually contains Hyper Beam...

All you did was copy and paste the standard, removed the very necessary Substitute and changed it to be more physical based, which defeats its purpose of hitting it's physical counters hard.

Focus Punch without Substitute is a lot harder to use as well. and Stone Edge really has no use for this particular moveset.

Quiet Nature: 252 HP / 60 Atk / 168 S.Atk / 28 Spd

With Substitute you get 101 Subs which means Seismic Toss will not break it and you can use Focus Punch without fail now, the Nature and EVs can 2HKO some Hippowdon, a common switch in to all physical Tyranitar.

An option is Ice Beam with Life Orb, which lands a OHKO on Gliscor.

HP Electric's combo is: Odd/Odd/Odd/Even/Odd/Odd

So as long as all of your IVs are an odd number except special attack then you'll always get Hp Electric. The lowest possible Spd IV you can get is 1 in other words.

Alternatively, you can use 49 stat boosting items (protein, HP up). It'll set you back half a million Poke Dollarz tho.
