But what's your problem?

All I can say is that this Giratina is a sweeper (24 ATK, 27 SP ATK, 31 SPD) IVed and really isn't the best for tanking (12 HP, 14 DEF, 11 SP DEF).

Ack, sorry, I meant to put in should I keep going or keep it.

 

[Yonowaru in Chaos]

Well, it depends on what do you want: a sweeper or a tank (or a mixture of both). Like I said before you're probably going to have to take advantage of its offensive and speed stat, and neglect its base 150 defensive and HP stats.

I'm making a mixed Sweeper Giratina, thanks for your help.

I think Item Clause isn't standard...

Jolly ftw!
The only Pokémon with more than 102 base speed that's likely to go with a 0 Speed nature is Dugtrio.

Garchomp, Mismagius, Gengar, Starmie, Raikou, Alakazam, Jolteon, Infernape, Weavile, Espeon, etc, all go with +speed nature.

And I prefer Toxic Orb, especially if it has U-Turn the first 3 turns Swellow is on field, it'll receive the same amount of damage as 2 turns of Burn, so it gives you some advantage. But if you pretend to have it more than 3 turns (VERY unlikely) then go with Burn.

How do I change my pokemon's Hidden Power Type. Let's say I wanted to change it from HP Water to HP Fighting? Can this even be done or is it preset when the pokemon is caught/hatches from an egg?

 

[Volteon]

Hidden Power's Power and damage are all based on Pokémon IVs.

Since Pokémon's IVs are fixed, Hidden Power's power and type are fixed, so you can't change Hidden Power's power and type.

I think it might have to do with the IV's or EV's of the Pokemon...

EDIT: Beaten...

 

[Yonowaru in Chaos]

No it cannot be changed, since the Hidden Power is based off its IVs.

The IVs and nature are set ONCE YOU GET THE EGG. So its useless soft resetting right before it hatches to get different IVs, nature, gender, etc.

EDIT: Beat, TWICE.

 

[Pwnbee]

I don't know if this is the place for this but, what is a good EV spread/Nature for Glaceon?
