It'll need a bit of Special Defense EVs, but surely prediction helps here. If it uses HP Ground, and it's Moltres, it's fucked. So it becomes much smarter to use Air Slash, but Air Slash doesn't...

Yanmega is living proof that speed isn't everything. It's still beat by Crobat and Electrode leads, as well as Stealth Rock, which means it'll have to find its own niche with STAB bug/flying special...

Sorry - keep forgetting that nobody runs Iron Ball Steelix but me. =/
1 + floor(25 * 212 / 29) = 183 Base Power against Min Speed, negative nature Staraptor, but it peaks at 150. Also, LonelyNess.
