The Hoenn Triangle

OK, the main problem with Mega Audino is that it doesn't beat much - Conkeldurr, some Dragons and Mega Sableye at best perhaps. It would explain why no-one's using it. So ignore my Mega Audino thing, and throw some suggestions at me - Mega Slowbro, Mega Altaria or Mega Diancie?

@ LynxForte, I think Iron Defense was for Bisharp/Tyranitar, so Slowbro could take a hit and whatnot. I still don't think Slowbro should be in on those Pokemon and would probably prefer something like RestTalk, some coverage or even Slack Off. But I suppose it is an option, although I don't like it (so I wouldn't use it).

@ Romeo32 thank you! Both are excellent options and I like both a lot, but I think Diancie has the edge on offensive presence as well as decent bulk (50/110/110 is better than Mega Mawile's, a Pokemon I like to compare my base to since it was such an amazing base to build around). So I'll roll with that. I'd like a more bulky spread though with some Speed... I'll run some calcs later.

Does anyone have a good singles moveset for Mega Pidgeot? It has several semi-decent moves that it could use effectively but there aren't 4 that stand out. I'm thinking SubRoost with Hurricane, but I'm not sure of a 4th move.

I'd go for Heat Wave to beat Steel-types. U-turn is worth a mention as well

I completely forgot about Heat Wave. Thank you!! I think I'll put the 4 EVs into HP for Stealth Rocks. And I think I'll replace Substitute with a Hidden Power. Thanks!

Don't put 4 EVs into HP! If you do that you will have an even HP number, making you take 25% on each switch, if you have an odd HP number the game rounds the damage down to 24%, giving you one extra switch in.

Oh no I'm talking about battling at Level 50, when it has an even number without investment, so the 4 gives another switch in

Oh, ok. I always assume level 100 because I mostly play in Showdown, I didn't know that 4 actually gave you an odd number at level 50. The more you know!

Anyone have a Storm Drain Lileep/Cradily I can use to breed?

Megas Will be allowed to use also please remember to look at the banned list, but other than that we are on track to open jan 11, just need more to really abuse the playoff scenario, and i am starting on the Christmas delibird for all who asks.

I'm really interested in this League thing, but it's WiFi and I don't know if I'll have the time to beat the game, breed a team with the correct IVs and EVs and train them for WiFi battles. You know? Anyway, I'll start building my ORAS OU team soon.

Got my Undead Warlock to Level 18, they've changed Soulstone to only work on people in your group, not on yourself anymore. Which is fair enough, but I liked being able to resurrect myself when I needed to. I did a dungeon that took ages since the tank screwed up, which meant we had to kick him and get a new one. Then the healer left and we needed a new one of those. I didn't get any good gear from it either really, was looking for good enchantments and got nothing except a wand. Sucks, but I'll keep trying.

Great, finally bred a 5 IV froakie but it has the wrong nature. Earlier I got a female 5 iv froakie on gts and used that with the one I borrowed here, but neither have the right nature. Now I have to put in my original hasty froakie with 2ivs with an everstone so I can get the right nature, but the chance of getting 5 ivs is lower

 

[Ninja Eevee]

If you have 2 5IV froakies, just breed with the destiny knot until you get 2 6IV froakies. Then with the destiny knot still on, you can just keep going until you get the nature you want. There only 6 stats and 17 natures so its not too much effort.

 

[Mega Typhlosion]

Since the new posts aren't ready yet, I can now announce that the donation and breeding shops were transferred to the OP under these names:

The Last Jedi is still running the breeding one and I'm still running the donations. This way we make it clear that it is for the whole clan.

I am breeding with the destiny knot, and believe me, breeding for natures is a pain when none of the parents have the right nature with an everstone to pass it on. Took me two weeks to get an azumarill with the same nature before, and I wasn't even breeding for ivs! A 5 iv can show up at any time with these two, and if its a female with the wrong ability I can switch it with the original, if it's a male with the wrong ability that sucks, but i'll just have to keep trying.

Both, as long as you use VGC 2015 rules (which is basically Battle Spot Doubles now).

So i just did some calcs with speed, and, if i did this right, heres what i got

Pokemon with Base 60 Speed, 252 Speed EVs, neutral nature, and a choice scarf, out speeds a Pokemon with Base 100 Speed, 252 EVs, and a positive nature. This is probably obvious to some people, but this means a choice scarf spinda can out speed a max speed salamence.

Now i can fulfill my plan of skill swapping contrary onto salamence and blasting my opponent with Draco Meteors that +2 my SpA each turn
