I got a Naive one in-game without HP Ice and kept it because its IVs were great and I didn't think you get another chance to capture after the first encounter. My other Tapus have appropriate natures (Adamant, Modest, Timid), but this one's is questionable. I used the formatting from the OP...

Battle Tree had a Durant with the ability Truant and the move Dig. He digs underground turn one, then fails to follow through on the attack because of his ability. He did this at least twice, for some odd reason.

So the self damage infliction was tested?

I feel like the confusion status does more damage to self now. Yes I know it's based on the confused Pokemon's Atk and Def stats, but it still feels like the damage is higher now. Has it already been tested and confirmed that it is still an effective 40 power physical move on the user? I feel...

I'm EV training my Rotom-W at the moment, and it is Bold with 31/8/31/31/31/20 (the Attack and Speed are unconfirmed, but around there). The accepted spread is 248 Hp, 252 Def, 8 Spe. However, since I'm quite a bit below 31 in Speed IVs, there's no point for me to commit 8 EVs that would...

Can't be used in online battles or tournaments (as far as I know for the latter; I haven't played local tournaments). Which is why I was wondering about it. Things that are allowed get a little pentagon icon near where the shiny and pokevirus icons are. There's no way to get a Softboiled...

I don't believe this has been asked before. I was wondering: Since Pokemon that were bred before gen 6 can't be used in online wi-fi battles (in the actual gen 6 games), why are Pokemon like Softboiled Clefable allowed in Smogon's rules for online battle simulators? It's not broken enough for a...

A+ is getting really crowded. When is the next time you'll be moving discussion about which ones should move out of that sub-rank? I don't see any reason to discuss any changes to the following (which are all solidly A+ at the lowest), but I have a few things to say about the others. This is...

Punchshroom I noticed you listed Sludge Bomb instead of Sludge Wave (and I've also seen other people use sets involving Sludge Bomb even while Sludge Wave is available on the Pokemon in question). Is the increased extra poison chance worth giving up 5 damage?

I suggest using Timit nature on Celebi instead of Naive. Its U-Turns are weak and a loss in 10% damage won't change much, while it will appreciate the added special bulk more. Something tangentially related that piqued my curiosity from a previous comment: What's the difference between U-Turn...

This Azelf is Naive nature with one physical move, no special moves, and EVs in Special Attack. If you want to keep that moveset, move the EVs to attack or something, and use a Jolly nature. Even then, it still seems like a mess. This set commits way too much into Azelf's tankiness while also...

Why 30 Speed IVs on Landorus instead of 31? You could instead reduce the EVs by 4 or 8, and put those in another stat like Defense or Sp. Def.

There are wasted EVs and non-ideal nature on Tornadus. Putting 63 or 126 does nothing more than 60 or 124 respectively. Using 60, 64 or 68 EVs in Atk will grant you the same chance to KO Gengar with Knock Off (factoring in SR), so the Atk EVs you can aim for are 0 (not aiming for the 1HKO), 60...

So Groudon can switch into Rayquaza and be immune to Water-type moves?

If Mega Rayquaza and Origin Groudon are both on the field, can Rayquaza hit Groudon with Water moves? Air Lock always overrides Drought, but I can't find any info if Delta Stream always overrides Desolate Land.

What happens to Salamence in November?

I think the No Guard ability on this Pokemon is pretty funny (in a bad way). Moves with 80 accuracy or lower: 0 Moves with 85 accuracy: 1 (Metal Sound) Moves with 90 accuracy: 3 (Toxic, Rock Slide, Swagger) Moves with 95 accuracy: 2 (Fury Cutter, Cut) All of his notable moves have 100 accuracy...

Scolipede (M) @ Black Sludge Ability: Speed Boost EVs: 248 HP / 84 Def / 176 Spd Jolly Nature - Megahorn - Iron Defense - Swords Dance - Baton Pass This is what I run. It outspeeds all positive natured 102 and below before Speed Boost, and outspeeds the typical Deoxys-S or Scarfed base 102...

Oh I think I found one I like! Virizion does a great job resisting Blastoise / Aegislash weaknesses, has base 129 SpDef and decent HP, and learns great physical attacks. Gets Roar too. Edit: Virizion is really fun. Played a few games just now with it and went 4/4. Recorded the 2nd onward: 2...

I'll try out Leftovers Hippowdon with 3 attacks and Whirlwind. Thanks.
