I'm trying to put together a team that lets M-Mawile dominate in singles. I'm breeding a Timid Magic Bounce Espeon with a Focus Sash as a suicide lead to set up Trick Room. The Focus Sash is just to ensure it can survive getting hit by a speedier Pokemon long enough to seve its purpose, but it also means that against a slower opponent with no priority, it can get in an extra move. Should I load it up with Reflect and Light Screen to use that turn for buffing, to give M-Mawile an extra advantage, or Psyshock/Shadow Ball/Dazzling Gleam to try and get in some damage before setting up? Or a mix of both?

You gotta think about what is going to come out against Mawile to counter it, and plan for that so Reflect will help mitigate some of the damage from the more common Ground types and Light Screen will give you a chance against the fairly common Fire type moves. Also I don't really know the composition of the rest of your team but you should consider a second Trick Room setter because Mawile is going to need more support than just Espeon.

Is it really useful to use TR in the first turns? You could always send off a better setter later in the game when your opponent couldn't stop you to use TR, if Taunters / Sporers were your problem.

For a second trick room setter, I would suggest Slowbro. He's able to switch in on most fire attacks, and then either heal off damage with slack off or hit hard with scald. Ice-beam/Psyshock/flamethrower do well to cover Mawile's weaknesses. Dusclopes (or however you spell it) can do it pretty well too, but it gets absolutely ruined by knock off, while slowbro can still function without leftovers. Also, slowbro is a fat bipedal pink hippo, so you really can't get better than that. STANKBALLS TASTYLEGS fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Mar 2, 2014 |

avlein posted:Ice is an amazing offensive type that has the distinction of being one of the few types being able to hit Dragons for SE until Gen VI. It's designed around being a super offensive typing that takes severe damage in return, an ice glass cannon if you will. Yeah, Ice types just seem to have too many weaknesses. When I tried to use a Swinub, that plus the fact that it didn't have many good moves to start with kind of put me off on the idea. For HeartGold, will having Ice Fang on Feraligatr be enough Ice coverage to get me through the Dragon gym/Elite Four? Also, what would be a good replacement for Mamoswine? Currently using Feraligatr, Ampharos, Heracross, Crobat, and Haunter/Gengar. My original sixth member was a Graveller/Golem, but I'm not sure if there's a better Ground type around. I'm thinking that Steelix, Rhydon/Rhyperior or Tyranitar might be good choices(even if Tyranitar isn't technically a Ground type, it's still beefy enough to use Earthquake effectively). Any suggestions?

I'd run Shadow Claw since Ghost is resisted by less types. Normal being immune would only be an issue on switch in's (someone calling Shadow Claw) and then you can just club them with Toxic Boosted Facade next turn.

Have you had any luck with getting legendaries through GTS? I've gotten a Xerneas for a female Cyndaquil, but nothing's been biting when I was asking for an Arcticuno. I'm thinking of asking for one of the Regis next, though I'm skeptical about the results.

Stalgren posted:Do the trophies do anything? Were there ribbons? The trophies don't do anything but sit there and look pretty. Every Pokémon that defeats a Battle Chatelaine in the Super Battles gets the Expert Battler Ribbon. The only other rewards are the Lansat and Starf berries, at 100 and 200 wins in a row, respectively. They can be mixed to produce Rare Soda, a better version of Rare Candies. But you can get the berries in a trade instead of grinding out the win streaks, if you prefer. Plus there's the massive amount of BP you get along the way.

What's a good Avalugg build (ability/nature/egg moves)? I've gotten lucky and bred/chained four shinies (Skiddo, Binacle, Noibat, Pancham) from this generation, am currently chaining for a Swirlix (I keep losing 33 battles in ), and figured might as well breed for a shiny Bergmite to complete the set for when I reset.

Yeah, Mirror Coat is the only Egg Move worth getting. For his other moves, I've been using Avalanche as his main attack because he's so slow. He has access to EQ, Stone Edge and Gyro Ball, but also some weird ones like Rapid Spin, Curse and Recover by level up. Sturdy + Mirror Coat is hilarious but you have to watch for hazards because if his sturdy is broken and he gets hit with any special attack he is going down really fast. Against physical attacks though, he can take hits all day. Fairly certain I managed to survive a +2 Flare Blitz from Talonflame even taking super effective damage. I could be wrong though. My recommendation is to run Avalanche, Mirror Coat, and then decide if you want move attack coverage (his attack stat is pretty great) or utility with Rapid Spin or Recover. Curse could be fun and I tried it for a while but it can be tough to set up without being broken through. Curse runs well with Gyro Ball though.

Hmm, alright I think I'll go with: Dragonite @ Lum Berry 252 Atk, 4 Def, 252 Speed Adamant, Multiscale -Dragon Dance -Dragon Claw -Extreme Speed -Fire Punch I've got Garchomp for Dragon Claw/Earthquake, and I really want some priority. I've been having fun with DD-Megatar as a sweeper, but a non-sandstorm on would probably work better with Dragonite. I'll also want to get rid of Stealth Rock, so I'll bite the Bullet and try Defog Mega-Scizor.I know I've got two X4 Ice weaknesses now, but I run a slightly non-typical Garchomp that is pretty good at negating that: Garchomp@ Focus Sash 4 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Speed Jolly -Swords Dance -Dragon Claw -Rock Slide -Earthquake Come in, Swords Dance up, eat the expected Ice or Dragon attack, respond with Dragon Claw/Earthquake for a OHKO and continue sweeping. It's amazing how well it works.

Speaking of Ice, it's not absolutely terrible in the case of Thick Fat Mamoswine (Ice/Ground): weak to Grass, Steel, Water, and Fighting. The first two aren't too too common. It resists Ice and Poison and isn't affected by Electric.

Leveling posted:Trick Room has a priority of -7, so Espeon will go last regardless of the opponent's speed.  I knew there was something wrong with this plan. I've been thinking about it for so long that I forgot basic logic. I was building this for wifi 3v3, so ideally, I would want to set it up at the beginning of the battle and finish sweeping before it ends, even though it never seems to work out that way.Screw it, I'm going back to doubles. Trying to plan for singles fries my brain.

I got an extremespeed dratini on wonder trade. There's a similar situation with Slugma/Magcargo and Litwick. Slugma has been able to have Heat Wave as an egg move since Gen 3, but the only way to breed Heat Wave onto it in Gen 3 is from the snagged Gale for Darkness Magcargo that has Heat Wave, and only you snagged a male. In gens 4,5, and 6, Slugma/Litwick need to have Heat Wave tutored, and then be bred from that; you can also use the Gale of Darkness Magcargo, of course. Luckily, both are in the same egg group, so you only need one to get the chain started. fade5 fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Mar 3, 2014 |
