This thread keeps getting worse.
This thread keeps getting worse.
Right, how do you plan on getting this into an Infernape when it has a -Def Nature and has to set up an attack before it can be of any significant threat?
Well, when i wrote it I kinda figured that coming in on damn near anything Infernape has will be fine mainly because of her resistances and only weakness which is to Dragon. Nottomention that STAB Draco Meteor does 84.69% - 99.32%, if Ape has no Sdef EV's. I also understood that Infernape would take more than 6% from Waterfall following this (un dragon danced)?
However, I only just found out that Kingdra takes only a little less from Close Combat.....
Hmmm...It would work as a Special Ape counter, but I was aiming for an allroundape one.
Perhaps, by chancing the nature to +satk -spd (ie. Quiet) and swapping the EV's to apply much more defence?

A Mixape counter.
Hello I've got this Azelf:
Azelf@Life Orb
Timid, 16 HP / 252 Atk / 240 Spe( Because of 26 Spe IV's)
- Nasty Plot
- Flamethrower
- Psychic
- Grass Knot / Explosion
I need help with the last slot. Cannot change nature or EV's, It's at lv. 100
I'm using an Exploding Heatran on my team if it has any influence on what to choose for my Azelf.

Is that 252 atk or sp. atk? I would choose grass knot or else tyranitar could have fun with this set. Other than that this set seems good.
Ment SAtk of course
Thanks for the tip anyway, I was thinking mainly of Blissey when I concidered Explosion, but Grass Knot gives me more coverage, though.Jinglenuts

Bellyzard @ salac
Jolly
Blaze
EV: 252 spd 252 att 4hp ( I made sure at lvl 100 its hp is divisible by 4)
-Bellydrum
-dragon claw
-substitute
ifire fang
This set hits everything except heatran,
which i am less worried about than hitting gyara, aero, ect...
( dont have emerald for fire punch)
I really need to know, how make stages belly drum rises att, and how to calculate it. I like bellyzard, and i am currantly ev training mine, but does its attack OHKO walls?

How do you all like this Torterra?
Torterra @ Choice Scarf
Overgrow
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Nature: Jolly
- Earthquake
- Wood Hammer
- Stone Edge
- Superpower
Just outspeeds all Max Speed Base 110 Speed Pokémon that don't have a Choice Scarf. Seems to have a good surprise factor seeing as virtually nobody will expect a fast Torterra.

No one expects Torterra in general, as it is crap.
Why is that?
How's this Hypno
Hypno @ Chesto Berry
Serious Nature
Hypnosis
Dream Eater
Rest
Brick Break / Focus Punch (in case they get the bright idea to switch. Also covers weakness against dark. I love the first 3 moves I picked but only if there was a better anti-dark move to give him for his last move)
EVs
255 Def
130 Sp. Att
70 Sp. Def
50 Att
5 Speed
I don't remember the exact IVs offhand but most were down the middle of around 17, with speed being its worst with only 2. Its Def and Sp Def IVs were in the high 20's.
Ideally, I'd like him to be a tank of sorta that could use his signature moves (Hypno has been my main pokemon since I started playing competitively in Blue) as well as be able to hold his own against darks if pushed into a corner. I poured his EVs primarily into physical defense cause the biggest threat to a psychic type is the move Crunch, which on average he seems to be able to sustain about 2 - 3 hits of.

Reasoning, please.
True but it has its uses if there's only one pokemon left. The status clause kinda kills it but I see your point. As for the wasted EVs, between the 1 from the pokemon you battle and the 4 from the power train items, I never bothered rounding them out. So everything's multiples of 5.
More importantly, I've been thinking about putting more EVs into physical Attack but I have no idea what to sacrifice. I don't want to give up physical defense though or I'll be a sitting duck for Crunch. I'd been considering giving up some Special Defense since Hypno naturally has a high base special defense but I'm not sure if I should risk that.

< Guess who's back?
Ice Beam being horrible popular due too Garchomp/Gliscor.
Stab Grass/Ground being resisted by many pokes.
Subseeding better done by many other Grass Pokemon (Breloom/Sceptile/Venusaur/ect.).
Defense wise outdone by Swampert in about everything.
Missing the key stat to be really good in something while something else isn't better in it.
