Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

DDmence, only thing in this team I can really switch against Heracross.. Should I use 252/252/6 spread?

Dugtrio (M) @ Choice Band

EVs: 252 Atk / 228 Spd / 28 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

Dugtrio, I don't know how many SPdef EV's to put on this.

Now everybody knows my team for the tournament, but oh well.. I need to improve it a bit.

 

[SHUCKLE MAN]

For Zapdos you could try a Substitute instead of Roar if you want (it is useful for draining PP somewhat). And I prefer HP Ice although most people to use HP Grass on Zapdos.

Skarmory is interesting. Some people have an Admant Skarmory with Attack EVs and HP Ground to 1HKO a Magneton on the switch. You need prediction for this obviosly. I prefer Roar over Whirlwind too. Exploud, Electrode and Mr.Mime rarely appear. If you want a flying move, have Drill peck, unless you are a fan of shocking opponents with unexpected HP types.

 

[Deathskully]

HP Grass is because Swampert proves to be annoying to me.

I don't mind between Drill Peck and Whirlwind really, I barely use the attacking move anyways so I use WW just incase some Exploud or Mr.Mime appear.

I put sub on zapdos.

 

[SHUCKLE MAN]

I rarely see Swampert anymore, but when I do see him, I do find it annoying, so I guess HP Grass would actually prove very useful in that situation.

 

[Deathskully]

I tend to see Swampert alot, and only having Suicune to switch in against mixperts I like to have one pokemon with a grass move to get rid of it.

 

[aipomkong]

set EVs to snap, as you are wasting evs on suicune and zapdos

 

[Deathskully]

Snap just leaves me with the same stats and 2 leftover EVs =/

 

[dynamo]

max hp on skarm plox

 

[Hoenir]

44 or 48 special defense evs on duggy

 

[DragonDance]

Snap just leaves me with the same stats and 2 leftover EVs =/

2 leftover EV's are better than 4+

 

[Deathskully]

Why? Does it really make a difference, as the stats are the same.

Wtf, I thought I had max HP put on skarmory in the first place.

 

[Tazzler]

61 Def / 241 Spd
241 HP / 212 Def / 57 SAtk


2 or 3 more evs won't make a difference as it won't make the stat go up at all even one. Snap is there so you always go by four not wasting evs.

 

[Pax Deorum]

IIRC 2/4 is not a whole number, so you won't gain any stat point

 

[dynamo]

Deathskull, it makes the format more readable when it's a multiple of 4, and when people see its not they tend to automatically assume that you're wasting EV's. Just set EV's to snap.

 

[Deathskully]

K, will do. I'll fix
