Simple Q&A Thread

[Dark Azelf]

I have a question.
Do you think that a team of BL Pokemon could survive well in an OU battle?

Well, yeah, Bl pokes ARE technically OU, they are Ou pokes that arnt popular at the moment.

Those IVs are fantastic. Stick with them, for sure. I believe the standard Jask goes:

Ninjask @ Leftovers
Jolly
176 HP / 252 Atk / 80 Spe
-Substitute
-Baton Pass
-Swords Dance
-X-Scissor / Aerial Ace

Mostly BPs Speed Boosts, and the occasional SD.

alright, i just found out my glaceon has HP fire. anything i can do with this, or breed for hp fighting?

 

[Glacier]

Is Drifblim a good baton passer?

 

[El Gofre]

It's mainly good for sub passing, due to it's huge HP.

 

[Pinocchio]

You could also pass Stockpile which raises both defenses.

i have tried posting threads in this forum but they never appear
im not sure if the mods just dont like me, but there all rate my pokemon threads, and those are allowed, so im posting it here:

here i need these 2 pokemon rated
if i can improve on them please tell me what i can improve

Ninjask @ leftovers LVL 100
Adamant Nature (if its a bad nature please tell me, ill just iv breed with this and a different natured ditto)
Speed Boost
Stats : Hp:320/320 / Atk:237 / Def:156 / SpAtk:118 / SpDef:170 / Speed:359
Ivs : Hp:31 / Atk:31 / Def:30 / SpAtk:27 / SpDef:29 / Speed:31
Evs : Hp:288 / Def:124 / SpDef:144 / Speed:12
Moves (all moves maximum pp):
Baton Pass
X-Scissor
Swords Dance
Substitute

Ninjask will use Subsitute, which we all know cuts down his life. Now while subsitute is taking damage for Ninjask, Speed Boost will be making his speed amazing, leftovers will be recovering the lost HP, and ninjask wont be lifting a finger, so to make him busy, hell be using Swords Dance to up Metagross' Attack when he Baton Passes.

Metagross @ leftovers/life orb (not sure which one, someone please tell me!!) LVL 100
Adamant Nature
Clear Body
Stats : Hp:336 / Atk:405 / Def:301 / SpAtk:199 / SpDef:215 / Speed:198
Ivs : Hp:31 / Atk:31 / Def:29 / Sp.Atk:27 / Sp.Def:30 / Speed:31 (iv bred like crazy!)
Evs: Hp:140 / Atk:252 / Def:28 / Speed:88
Moves (all moves maximum pp):
Metor Mash
Earthquake
Zen Headbutt (for STAB)
Thunderpunch

I put Zen Headbutt in there instead of agility, because he wont be using it on acount that ninjask gives him loads of speed, and he has excepsional speed for a metagross, which is a slow pokemon. zen headbutt gives it stab so thats always good. When ninjask uses Swords Dance Metagross will be vitualy indestructable!!

IF ANYONE HAS ANY ADVICE, ID LOVE SOME. PLEASE POST OR PM ME!!

im also having difficulty with choosing more pokemon for my team.. i need help with that!!

 

[Lalapizzame]

alright, i just found out my glaceon has HP fire. anything i can do with this, or breed for hp fighting?

You can hit Skarmory and OHKO Forretress with that HP Fire you have.You can keep that or breed for HP Fighting which still gets outdamaged by neutral STAB Ice Beam from Glaceon.

 

[tylerowicz]

man your a life saver
thanks!!

but now my ninjask has really low defenses

 

[tylerowicz]

but now my ninjask has really low defenses

hey wered that dudes post go?

 

[airconditioning]

I'm editing out your gay colors.

Ninjask @ leftovers
Jolly Nature
Speed Boost
Evs : 252 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 4 HP
Moves (all moves maximum pp):
Baton Pass
X-Scissor
Swords Dance
Substitute

Ninjask will use Subsitute, which we all know cuts down his life. Now while subsitute is taking damage for Ninjask, Speed Boost will be making his speed amazing, leftovers will be recovering the lost HP, and ninjask wont be lifting a finger, so to make him busy, hell be using Swords Dance to up Metagross' Attack when he Baton Passes.

I don't care about your Ninjask's IVs. Just post the EVs, Nature, moves, and the item. We don't care about your IVs or stats- the EVs are good enough.

As for the EVs, what the hell. No. First, you can't have over 255 EVs in a stat, so I find it dubious that you have 288 HP. Anyway, Ninjask can't take hits, so don't bother investing EVs into that. Just go full Speed and Attack. Jolly so you can outspeed more.

Metagross @ leftovers/life orb
Adamant Nature
Clear Body
Evs: Hp:140 / Atk:252 / Def:28 / Speed:88
Moves (all moves maximum pp):
Metor Mash
Earthquake
Explosion/ Pursuit
Thunderpunch

I put Zen Headbutt in there instead of agility, because he wont be using it on acount that ninjask gives him loads of speed, and he has excepsional speed for a metagross, which is a slow pokemon. zen headbutt gives it stab so thats always good. When ninjask uses Swords Dance Metagross will be vitualy indestructable!!

Metagross has Meteor Mash for STAB, he doesn't need Zen Headbutt (which is weak, in addition to having Psychic's poor coverage). Go with Pursuit to kill anything that switches out, or Explosion as a last ditch effort. Go Life Orb for the Atk boost, without being locked into a move (even though you didn't consider Choice Band)

Two Pokemon don't make a team.

im also having difficulty with choosing more pokemon for my team.. i need help with that!!

This is probably why your thread was never approved. We're not here to make a team for you. Come back with six Pokemon, and then we'll rate.

 

[tylerowicz]

alright first
gay? wtf man i was just trying to make it attract attention cuz no one listened to me anyway
next
um.. ya i made a TYPO on the evs.. so dont go flaming me for a simple TYPO
I put the IVS because i thought that would help people see if its a good pokemon or not
i appreciate the info
just stop with the flamming man

 

[airconditioning]

They're ugly, and they're a pain to edit out.

um.. ya i made a TYPO on the evs.. so dont go flaming me for a simple TYPO

Well, EVs are kinda IMPORTANT. How am I supposed to know it was a typo?

I put the IVS because i thought that would help people see if its a good pokemon or not

When people look at the set, it's automatically assumed to be a good Pokemon, so it's unnecessary to post the IVs to point that out.

just stop with the flamming man

No. >:(

 

[tylerowicz]

aight
were cool?
this ninjask has like no defense and sp.defense
if will die in a second
subsitute will last like what, one attack?
i find these evs ae somewhat flawed!!
like thats my opinion
cuz i need ninjask to last a few turns then baton pass

 

[airconditioning]

See, Ninjask has... what were they? Base 61 HP, base 45 Defense, and base 50 Defense. Like it or not, no matter how many EVs you pump into that, Ninjask still won't be able to take a hit. It's better to focus on Jask's strong points, like his attack and speed. If you want a Pokemon that can take hits, Ninjask is not for you.

That said, it's still possible. If you sub while they happen to switch, you'll be able to get in an SD while their switch in destroys your Sub. From there, you can BP all the boosts to Metagross, and pray that their Poke doesn't know Earthquake.

 

[tylerowicz]

ya
thats true
thanks man
im gonna keep him the way he is with the evs and stuff you gave me

 

[ABYAY]

Ninjask would love Substitute. It slips past his weak defenses by only taking 25% damage. Also, if your opponent gets an unlucky miss, just SD, then sub will break, and then you can pass that Swords Dance and speed boosts to some other pokemon.

 

[Pinocchio]

What is a good Special Wall besides Blissey or maybe Snorlax?
I am opting for something a bit more versatile and perhaps more useful for a stall team.

 

[El Gofre]

Regice makes a good one, as does articuno. Cresselia is more of a dual wall but works nicely as either.
