Yanmega question

I have a yanma with almost perfect IV's(perfect spd IV too) but a poor sp. atk IV. Its sp atk IV is only 9 so its max sp. atk can be 309. i was wondering if 309 is a decent sp. atk stat. If it helps, its moveset is going to be hypnosis, bug buzz, air slash, ancientpower.
 
ya i was thinking about that but i wondered if it was really worth it so i decided to ask anyway to get more input. thanks a lot though =]
 
This should have been asked in the help thread. Also, use a modest yanma with speed boost, it's much better. If a pokemon has great IV's but one of the important stats has a bad IV, always rebreed.
Protect over ancientpower on your set.
 
thanks but no thanks. modest isnt as good as timid only because it starts out really slow and as the first member of my team i need it to be fast from the get go. Also, protect is almost useless with yanma. Ancient power os great with it. I've used this on shoddy battle and it works wonders. But i do appreciate the help. Sorry for not putting this in the help thread also.
 
How is protect useless? Modest is much better, and I'll tell you why.
With timid, you're a lot weaker. Yanmega should always be using the ability speed boost, so timid is pretty much a waste of a nature. Protect will ensure that you always get in at least on speed boost. Even if you run timid, alakazam, azelf, weavile, sceptile, starmie, raikou, infernape, mismagius, garchomp, charizard, zapdos, and salamence all outspeed you on turn one, or for the entire battle if you're running tinted lens. If you go modest with speed boost, you're going to be faster.
Protect also helps scout choice users. Without the speed boost from protect, stuff like nasty plot azelf is quite likely to run all over your team.

Need I say more? Because I will.
 
Are you using speed boost? Because honstly, there's nothing important you're outspeeding by using timid over modest. If you're using tinted lens, timid is fine, but you shouldn't, as speed boosts are always better. With that speed boost, you're able to outspeed stuff like azelf and alakazam that your team might not be able to outspeed that could also sweep your entire team.

Also, have you ever even tried the standard yanmega? If you haven't, you shouldn't be so quick to shoot it down.
 
i have tried it. it failed poorly many times. putting mine in front of my team with a focus sash has only failed me a few times, buts its always gotten a decent hit in. i didnt make this thread to argue with you about whats best for yanma, i made this thread to ask if i should stick with my current yanma or breed it for some more.

How were you using the speed boost yanmega? If used properly, it's extremely good...
