Basically those are fine.

Hmmm...I'll leave EV's to those more experienced with them.

But the Thunderdancing Castform should have Ice Beam over Water Pulse, since Weather Ball becomes Water-type, and you don't want redundancy. Likewise, the Sunnybeaming Castform should have Thunderbolt/Ice Beam over Weather Ball, since pseudo-STAB Flamethrower does more than it. And Thunderbolt on the Hail Castform, for the ever-famous BoltBeam combo.

I think you should know that there are better Pokemon than Castform though.

EDIT: Darn it...aragornbird beat me to it...and he said the exact same things... -_-

 

[TogeticTheRuler]

Thankx for the Help!
I already know there are better pokemon than Castform,but i wuv him and hes so much fun to use ^.^
BTW-I heard boltbeam combo lotsa times but what makes it so famous?What about flambeam combo?

Ice and Electric hits every single Pokémon for at least neutral damage, except Lanturn, Magneton, and Shedinja. Fire and Ice is resisted by Fire and Water, so it’s not as effective.

Ooooh someone using a Castform, awesome! I'd love to see a superiorly trained Castform in battle.

 

[TogeticTheRuler]

Thx ^.^ BTW, is physica Castform okay to use?I hatched one with flawless attack ivs and don`t want it to go to waste, I was thinking of:
Castform
-Return
-Sandstorm
-Weather Ball
-?
I was thinking of rock type castform or normal type castform,which one do you think would be more effective for me?
EDIT:Aw,I just calculated the IVS of Special Attack Castform and they have Hidden Power Ground, should i put the hidden powers on the castform in D/P?

 

[aragornbird]

No, don’t use physical Castform. It’s just lol. And don't use Hidden Powers in-game unless you're sure the type is good and the power is over 60.

 

[TogeticTheRuler]

Aw, ok,Ill just use that to try and make a flawless atk iv ralts then ^.^,and the hidden power ground is a power of 70, I was thinking, maybe i should put defense evs so it can set up its weather move 1st, should I?

 

[aragornbird]

Oooh, a full power Hidden Power. I guess it’s okay as a novelty set so go ahead. Just don’t use it in any sort of serious battle.

 

[TogeticTheRuler]

Okay, thx, for the Help! Should I pair it up with Sandstorm?

 

[aragornbird]

Sure, since Weather Ball turns into a Rock-type in the Sandstorm.

 

[Ludicodaniel]

For a physical Castform, that's normal type, I'd go with this:

Return
Weather ball
Shadow ball
Thunder wave?

 

[TogeticTheRuler]

THx for the Help Guys!
Should I put defense effort values so i can set up weather moves?

 

[aragornbird]

You can sacrifice Speed EVs for Defense/HP, but it won’t make much of a difference in the long run.

 

[Pokemonger49777]

Good, just make sure they are modest natured.
