WrightOfWay posted:Just replace Baton Pass. The only thing Sylveon can pass is Calm Mind and there are much better Baton Pass pokemon with Calm Mind like Espeon. For EVs, assuming you want a Cleric for Singles 252 HP/252 Def/4 SpD is good. Maybe 252 Hp/168 Def/90 SpD if you want a more optimized spread. This avoids the 2HKO from Life Orb Latios Psyshock 100% of the time and dumps the rest in Special Defense. If you have an imperfect HP you'll need more defense EVs, though. or you could MAN UP and use both! My main team has a sylveon and an espeon, and they both kick rear end. Sylveon is a great calm mind passer because of its considerable special bulk, and if you've got hyper voice on there he is also excellent against pokes who want to sub up and start boosting themselves. Espeon I use to receive and pass along boosts, mostly, because it's fragile enough that it can't afford to spend all day boosting. He grabs a couple +1s, sweeps with stored power/dazzling gleam/shadow ball, and then if something seriously threatens him he can baton pass the boosts over to something else. Personally, I run my sylveon with hyper voice, calm mind, wish and baton pass, because I use a Lum berry on him, and the Scrafty in my party is also extremely status-resistant. Heal bell wasn't pulling its weight.

Bluff Buster posted:Could this not be an opportunity to use, say Sword Dance or another stat-boosting move when your opponent expects a protect, or is this a case of over-predicting that usually doesn't work? Depends on the set you're using. It works okay if you stand and fight, since Scolipede's fast enough that it'll probably hit the enemy before the enemy can hit them, but if you just sit there and try and Baton Pass that Swords Dance then the opponent will just use their boosts to kill whatever you pass to. Baton Passing is a pretty advanced strategy, because it's so easy for the opponent to take advantage of if you do something wrong or mispredict.

Messed around on Showdown for a while. It's fun playing 1v1 with a Shedinja, there's a surprising amount of people that forget to bring anything that hits it and forfeit immediately. That said I do lose more often than I win, and there's not that many people playing 1v1, so eventually everyone wishes up and packs HP Fire or Toxic.

nippon nifties posted:Are you sure you finished X/Y and not Red/Blue I bred that Gen 1 themed team and started fresh from eggs after the 5th or 6th Gym. The team I had up until that point were pretty much all "newer" Pokemon, but they had got way too strong. The same thing happened with this team obviously but there was a bit of time while they were leveling up that things were challenging. I could have bred another gimmick team from scratch again to take on the elite four and stuff but I just wanted to finish at that point and move on to whatever is in the post-game. I liked doing that actually, breeding and training a themed team. I would probably enjoy doing it a bunch more but I'm not sure what I would do with the resulting team?

I sent a bunch of Dwebbles to Wonder Trade a while back because they're cute and I ran into so many of them while looking for fossils. Whatever you send, give it a nickname - it makes a difference. I got a Panpour of all things from Wonder Trade the other day, but I still smiled when I saw it was called Faucet.

Does that really work? drat, the new dowsing machine is horrible.  You can't skate or bike with it and it's far to inaccurate compared to previous things.

I'm only posting this so we can all mock the guy who ragequits WITH a "gently caress you" because he doesn't think his Slurpuff will survive the Flash Cannon from Sniper Kingdra. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-100604628 Florges survives and kills it, so it's not like it's unstoppable Also, hilariously enough, despite Donphan, Victini and Galvantula being staples on OU teams until they got dropped to UU, Liligant, Ursaring, and Kingdra do WAY more for my team.

For getting items that can only really gotten from wild Pokemon, like Heart Scales and Light Balls, Compoundeyes is essential, Frisk helps you avoid wasting time on Pokemon that don't have the item, and Thief is a nice alternative to having to catch them.

I used a TM to teach my Vileplume Venoshock and it one hit kills all npc opponents even without the massive damage boost from poison. Is there a good newbie's guide to setting up a team composition that revolves around it?

How Rude posted:I used a TM to teach my Vileplume Venoshock and it one hit kills all npc opponents even without the massive damage boost from poison. Is there a good newbie's guide to setting up a team composition that revolves around it? I would say you'd definitely need Toxic Spikes, since auto-spreading poison obviously helps. Rapid Spin isn't as hugely popular as it used to be, but running a ghost type to spin block isn't a bad idea either. You could even give them Hex, which gets a similar boost to Venoshock when the opponent has a status. So I'd say your first decision is to find a Toxic Spikes user, a ghost type, and a Venoshock user you particularly like. From there see what your team is missing in terms of offense and defense, and try to find Pokemon that cover those deficiencies.

It's the only way I item farm now. Bulbapedia entry. I usually run a KO'd lvl. 1 Joltik, a Frisk Pumpkaboo with Thief, then four Pickup Pumpkaboo's so I get extra items as well, plus Pickup is the only way to get extra Leftovers (once the Pickup Pokemon is level 91-100, and then it's a 1% of 10% or something stupid). Synchronize works the same way too if I remember correctly, however you can't stack Synchronize with Cute Charm to always get the nature/gender you want, which is a drat shame.

The White Dragon posted:To be fair to the guy, I would've used all earlier-gen stuff if I didn't make a personal rule of "half my team has to be Gen 6 Pokemon." My final team ended up being Chesnaught, Aegislash, Charizard, Gardevoir, Haxorus, and Linoone. All of them were new to me in some way: Chesnaught and Aegislash were Gen 6, Charizard had a Mega-evo, Gardevoir was part Fairy, I never touched Haxorus in B/W, so it counted as a new Pokemon for me, and Linoone acted as my Pickup/HM slave who could actually fight for himself with Return/Shadow Claw and his new move Play Rough. I can't wait for Z/X2/Y2, I want to try a team made solely from Wonder Trade.

Since venoshock relies on poison I need to get some pokemon that wreck Flying, Steel, and Poison types since toxic spikes doesn't work on them. Thanks for the advice! Are there any useless status effects I should not bother using? Sleep seems really powerful but I could be wrong for whatever reason.

Txn posted:gently caress! Why I did I forgot that? Fly with Lagging Tail should make it pretty much invinsible outside of Hurricane/Thunder and No Guard. The 2nd turn attack will still get the +1 priority (it's still flying type and you still have Gale Wings), so they'll just hit you afterwards.
