Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Maybe a bit ot but anyone have any set idea for Sinestcha?
I have the idea of
Sinestcha
Modest/Life Orb/Heat Proof
Nasty Plot/Calm Mind
Matcha Gatcha
Shadow Ball/Hex
Scald
But not sure where to put EV's maybe 252 into SpA but the rest not fully sure
So split between them? Assuming CM I guess a bit of SDef would be helpful. But still, that thing walls MegaMence? I'm no expert but MegaBro seems borderline uber. It has everything really. Insane Def, CM and reliable recovery in Slack Off (does it work like Moonlight ext?)
So what would be the best EV spread for MegaBro? Do you bother putting anything in Def? (since 180 is scary enough) or dump everything in Special Defense?
Cresselia gets Moonblast I'm pretty sure, she can easily use that instead of Psychic/Psyshock... might not get STAB but it deals with Fighting types as well as Dark and Dragons
GF seriously outdid themselves on Vivi, she's incredibly powerful for an early bug and probably could be considered the lower tear version of Volca... it's just a damn shame she doesn't get Focus Blast because Flying/Fighting is near unresisted I think
My Vivillon runs Timid mostly because she can out speed some Mons and sleep them... Modest is alright but I think Vivi's better of running Timid because SpA is boosted by Quiver Dance anyway... my problem is forgetting grass types are immune to powder moves...
To be fair the only reason Volca's used is Quiver Dance... Volca's undoubtedly better but Vivi's certainly a Solis Pokemon and probably will be a staple in lower tiers Compound Eyes+Hurricane is an amazing combo especially with super accurate Sleep Powder and Quiver Dance... but Focus Blast...
I use
Sleep Powder
Hurricane
Quiver Dance
Psychic (though gonna change back to Bug Buzz...)
And my Vivilon actually out sped a Volcarona without boosts though I gave her Max speed with a Timid nature...) the only think Venumoth really has over Vivi is Baton Pass... compound eyes is far...
Vivi's pretty amazing in the Battle Maison... after 2 or 3 boosts she wrecks shit with Hurricane... shame she doesn't get baton pass though... but Vivillon is pretty deadly despite sub par bulk... I could see her reaching possibly UU... Hurricane spam is awesome especially with the confusion chance
Vivi shouldn't be used n the Sun her biggest draw is that sexy 92% STAB Hurricane coming off of a decent 90 Base SpA... wish her bulk wasn't so terrible and had 90 Speed... GF outdid themselves with Early Mons... Diggersby has Huge Power STAB EQ plus a higher attack stat that Azumarill which is...
Togekiss can easily OHKO/2KO all Magnezone sets with Fire Blast WITHOUT a Nasty Plot boost or SR same with Aura Sphere. Yo can easily swap Nasty Plot with Roost and Air Slash for Dazzling Gleam... I think
Dazzling Gleam
Fire Blast/Flamethrower
Aura Sphere
Roost/Nasty Plot
Would be a good set...
Maybe this could work
Togekiss@Life Orb
178HP/80SpA/252Spe
Dazzling Gleam
Fire Blast/Flamethrower
Aura Sphere
Roost/Nasty Plot
Dazzling Gleam replaces Air Slash Fire Blast for Steels and Roost to heal off LO recoil
