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.
Why is Timid preferred over Modest for Zapdos? What main threats or whatever does it really out-speed with that nature? Wouldn’t I want to hit harder with Modest instead?
Right now, I use: MegaZam, Rhydon, Venusaur, Chansey, Muk-A, annnnnnd some other Pokémon (at work rn and I’m totally blanking). So, if I were to replace Mew, Melmetal, and Zapdos, which one would Dodrio replace? Zapdos?
Well, I’ve been doing competitive since 4th Gen and have been to Regionals for VGC and whatnot as well, and placed decently well and have not lost an online match yet (even when they use Mewtwo and all that junk).
Basically, I mainly will be battling my friend irl and he’s persistent on not...

I don’t know how some of these movesets work. I been doing lots of battles online in-game using recommended movesets. I’ve won every game so far with my team (not using Legendaries or starter Pokémon) but it’s like...Why is Toxic recommended on Gengar instead of a physical move? Gengar has no...
Can you start including what you changed at the bottom of the post? I actively look at this list while building in-game teams and when it gets updated, I have no idea who went where. Thank-you.
