What's the standard EV spread for Doubles Prankster Meowstic? Do they focus on its speed at all so it can outspeed other priority users?

Red Suit posted:Hello, I'm looking for Friend Safaris. Any of them will do. Mine is Psychic with Abra, Espurr, and Girafarig. FC is 2680-9056-7682 You've been added! Mine is 4210-4015-0859, with a Water safari, featuring Krabby, Gyarados, and Frogadier. Piplup IV breeding is going swimmingly. I got a female to replace the Ditto with, so it's inbreeding all the way down from here. After that, penguin party on Wonder Trade. Also, I thought shiny fishing chains were an actual feature, not a glitch?

Wideguard is one of the most underrated moves in doubles and Aegislash is so amazing with it. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/vgc2014-74111239

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-74131850 I think I fought the same idiot from earlier. I mean it had to be. Who else would choose to swap an Aggron and a Tyrantitar against a Breloom instead of their Togekiss.

Pretty proud of this one http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/challengecup-74133659 Togekiss didn't have any attacking moves, but I still pulled out the win. A lot of farting about at the end, but Telekinesis makes the next few attacks ignore evasion! buddychrist10 fucked around with this message at 23:31 on Jan 1, 2014 |

I want to use a Swampert but it's movepool doesn't look that diverse and it's abilities are both pretty mediocre compared to similar typings that basically get another immunity (Water Absorb, Storm Drain) so this is what I came up with: Swampert 252 HP, 252 Atk, 6 Def Adamant Waterfall Earthquake Stone Edge Roar/Hammer Arm/Avalanche Unfortunately I think Gastrodon can do everything Swampert can and better.

Ratspeaker posted:What's the standard EV spread for Doubles Prankster Meowstic? Do they focus on its speed at all so it can outspeed other priority users? You either go for maximum defensive investment (252 HP/Def or SDef) or max out speed to win the Prankster wars between you and other Meowstics. However, keep in mind that Meowstic also learns Quick Guard, which can counter opposing Pranksters quite handily. Fake edit: Meowstic is the fourth fastest Prankster (behind Liepard, Thundurus/Tornadus and Whimsicott), so keep that in mind if you're going to invest in speed.

Hi pokegoons.  I'm a bit new to some of this, and old to other parts- i loved pokemon, but I stopped playing for a long, long time, and when I started up again there was all this online stuff and EVs and IVs and BBQs...I'm working it out, slowly. For now I just want some friends!I may not understand some of the poo poo that goes down in this thread yet, but I would love a few friends to maybe trade with or learn this new nonsense from, or learn the online battle system with. Friend Code: 0189-9813-3397 PM?: Yes! Also: I haven't tried the online battle system yet- I know the challenges I've gotten have said 'set all to lvl 50'. Stupid Question- does this mean everyone's pokemon will be lowered AND raised to level 50? Or does it just mean that everyone will be lowered to 50 who's above 50 and that low-levels will stay low level? I invest way too much thought in my critter's feelings  I'd hate to accept a challenge and get them all pulverized.I have managed to get some awesome poo poo from the wondertrade though! I got a Togepi and I have all the starters!  That makes me happy.

why oh WHY posted:Is Taunt just not used in Ubers? There's serious 4MSS on most ubers mons, and poor distribution among the fatlards of the tier. Mewtwo and Yveltal are the main taunt users but usually don't have the bulk to survive a switch-in and they're both fairly weak against Ho-oh and they both have 4MSS pretty badly. Skarmory is one of the better taunters in the tier although Skarmory has pretty bad 4MSS in ubers too. Zoness fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Jan 2, 2014 |

I've never played in Ubers because it never really caught my fancy, the choice of viable mons seems to be fairly low which is never really fun for me.

I invest way too much thought in my critter's feelings I'm pretty sure that 'all set to lvl 50' means that Pokemon over 50 will be lowered, but Pokemon under 50 will not be raised to 50. So if I were you, I wouldn't bring an under-leveled Pokemon into a battle like that unless they were pretty close to 50 (I've brought a level 49 Skarmory into battles like that and she did just fine.) Thankfully, online battles don't effect a Pokemon's happiness positively or negatively at all. I guess they're all just glad to be there!

The pokemon with the lowest speed gets its weather activated. Edit: For example if Tyranitar and Politoed both enter on the same turn (assuming 0 IVs in Speed on both) Drizzle would activate then Sand Stream would activate thus overriding Drizzle. why oh WHY fucked around with this message at 02:28 on Jan 2, 2014 |

So I finally face the terrible Yveltal and... caught him with a quick ball. I know his capture rate was high and all, but those things are crazy good. I missed the pretty music  Say, If I wanna do a simple 6 vs 6 battle with my sister, can I choose that "downlevel every poke to 50" someone just mentioned? Or is it restricted to specific battle formats?

People like replaying through games with Nuzlockes and stuff to make things more interesting, but for whatever reason I like breeding up weird/difficult pokemon more than battling them. Barring Masudaing up shinies, which is from what I understand is complete bullshit, what do you think are some good breeding challenges? So far I've made 6 iv pokemon, all 0-1 iv pokemon, and a Farfetch'd with a Stick and all high-crit moves. Hidden power stuff? Thinking about putting HP Fire on an Eevee.

Haha, I'm not going to raise one, I just need to know exactly how many hits it'll take to kill the little bastard and get the actual battle started. gently caress Meowstic.
