What's a better nature to sync on regice that I might want to use in the future? Calm or Modest?
A Modest nature is preferred as the most optimal set for Regice is an offensive Rock Polish set.What's a better nature to sync on regice that I might want to use in the future? Calm or Modest?
You say that but I checked last month's 1630 and 1760 usage stats and quiet nature is the most used. Similarly the regirock analysis on-site says to use careful but the top players use adamant...A Modest nature is preferred as the most optimal set for Regice is an offensive Rock Polish set.
I'll be honest with you, Regice really isn't that great in NU, and neither is Regirock. Top players don't use either because there are so many pokemon that do the same exact thing, just better. I was just saying modest because the analysis for Regice that's being worked on has that as the only nature.You say that but I checked last month's 1630 and 1760 usage stats and quiet nature is the most used.

If you're gonna use regice it's best to go modest on rock polish and tank sets. Usually Cryogonal is used over Regice because it's faster, has freeze dry, spins, and has recovery. If you're gonna use regirock, don't. Rhydon is superior in almost every way to Regirock. Usage does not always mean that pokemon/set is good.You say that but I checked last month's 1630 and 1760 usage stats and quiet nature is the most used.

Quiet on Rock Polish LOL that is actually depressing.You say that but I checked last month's 1630 and 1760 usage stats and quiet nature is the most used. Similarly the regirock analysis on-site says to use careful but the top players use adamant...

Max HP / Max Special Defense, Careful natureI've been seeing Soulgazer hype Vibrava for a while now and I've really been meaning to try it out but can't fathom an effective set/EV set to put on it.
What is the "common" Vibrava set?
Probably not, it doesn't have the great speed serperior has, has pretty bad offenses and much less bulk. If you're going eviolite you are giving up LO power, just wont be worth it.After serperior is banned later on..What do you guys think servine viability would be in NU? (Asked here cause I don't see an NU discussion forum)
In general, Magmortar is a better wallbreaker, but Electivire has its uses. Generally, the best set is T-Bolt or Wild Charge/Flamethrower/HP Grass/Earthquake with a Life Orb, and you can be either physically or specially based depending on your STAB of choice.What´s Electivire best moveset?. Also when should i use fully Defensive Sanslash instead of the Bulky max attack Adamant?, that is with what teamates or vs an enemy.
1. Contrary will be released next month (I believe) through a distribution event in Japan.I have two questions:
- Has Serperior's hidden ability been released? Because it is still crossed on Showdown
- What does HO mean?
You take less damage initially from Toxic Orb than you do from Flame Orb. So Swellow is ment to only stay in for a turn or two and revenge kill something so the less damage possible from an orb the better.Why is it that most guys sets recommended by smogon for Swellow use toxic orb and not flame orb?
Swellow is often a hit and run sort of Pokemon and Toxic Orb has less recoil over the first 2 turns than flame orb (6% + 12% < 12% + 12%) and equal recoil over the course of the first 3 turns (6% + 12% + 18% = 12% + 12% + 12%), it is rare that Swellow will stay on the field for more than 3 turns given its frailty so Toxic Orb is usually better.Why is it that most guys sets recommended by smogon for Swellow use toxic orb and not flame orb?
