I have this question about this pokemon I trained. I ev trained a beldum with max evs in defense and special defense, and 4 in hp. I run an unusual setup with it. It knows rest, sleep talk, substitute and earthquake. What do you guys think of it?

i would say if you want to tank hit to the max you may be better off running max hp max def 4 s. def, and for rest talk i would run a coverage move such as meteor mash or ice punch so that birds and things that float dont completely shut you down

I just had an awesome thought. Imagine a gengar trained for speed, that knew mean look and destiny bond, and held a focus sash. It would be such a kamikaze attack

Taunt can wreck that. And the Focus Sash would prevent Destiny Bond from being useful, especially if the opponent sees it coming. Maybe adding Taunt on Gengar would work, but Gengar's too useful to sacrifice like that. Given the right support, it can take multiple Pokemon down, so using a gimmick that only takes one down isn't worth it, if you ask me.

Oh, and don't double post. You can edit your posts if you need to add anything.

Assuming it has Gale Wings (which it should, or it's useless), I'd run Adamant with 252 Attack and 252 Speed or HP. GW's priority makes speed less important, so you can run HP for the added bulk. I suggest against Jolly, since you need as much power as you can get with that paltry base 80 Atk. You may also want to use a Life Orb or Choice Band as your item. If you run a Band, definitely go for Speed. If you run Life Orb, Roost+Max HP is VERY useful.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas to you too, Dark! And a Merry Christmas to everyone here. If you don't celebrate Christmas, take my Merry Christmas as a "have a great day". I'll be sobbing over the Doctor Who special tonight.

And also, it would seem that we couldn't get the stuff to do the Christmas Drive. Maybe next year? *shrugs*

Guys I have an issue. I'm utterly and completely bored out of my freaking mind right now. It's times like this when you just want something to break the monotony of your life. So what do you guys do when this happens?

Edit your posts. Double posting is against the forum rules. The mods will infract you, no exceptions. It's not my call, otherwise I wouldn't care as much.

And the mods specifically forbid non-gaming-related discussions, so hush on the off-topic-ness.

We're still waiting for sign-ups for the Doubles tourney. Our tournament thread is somewhere in the guild tournaments board, go find it and sign up. Someone, ANYONE.

Ok sorry i forgot. Is docile a good nature? I'm pretty sure it does nothing, so would that be good or bad?

Dang, I haven't posted on here for a while... I'm still alive! And waiting for the much delayed pokemon bank, lol. I already got a snivy and chimchar from wondertrade due to the japanese having it for a short amount of time before it went away(was iv breeding growlithes and trading the leftovers away :] ) I'm iv breeding zoroarks right now. Should take a few hours since I just started, but I'll likely have a few 5 iv zoruas left over when I'm done, so anyone can ask for one before I wondertrade them away!

So you're having a doubles tournament now? To be honest, I'd be a bit more keen on it if it was actually in-game instead of on po/ps, just because I find in game fights to be much more satisfying and rewarding. If you're really desperate, I will consider joining though. I wouldn't expect the best from me, because I'm very hit-or-miss when it comes to team building.

Hope everyone's having great holidays!

Never run a neutral nature. If you're running a mixed attacker, it's better to sacrifice a defense stat, so at least one of your offensive stats gets a boost. But neutral natures are useless. What Pokemon is it anyway, and what are you intending to do with it?

EDIT: Reb, I'd love to do in-game, actually. The problem is that we can't get enough people in on it :/ I might consider doing an in-game tourney at some point, though. Maybe Battle Spot Doubles or VGC?
