Havent lost much with this except I misspredict or theres a calm mind Jirachi thats faster than Heracross. Thats the only problem i see that troubles this team but Jirachi barely ever shows its ugly face and when it does,most of the time its a wish/reflect set and not a calm minder

Any helpful suggestions are welcome

maybe thunderbolt/firepunch/icepunch on jira over sub? gar doesnt need max attack imo i only run ~100~140 for explode. skar needs more defensive evs?

 

[gdpt]

er jirachi is your only rock resist. you might want to try claydol over starmie, either that or get another bulkly water type because Ttar and aerodacytl will destroy your team.

also sweeping jirachi's usually have around 274 speed or so try making hera jolly.

 

[Muchabi]

Methinks max Skarm's HP EVs

 

[West]

Bold Nature
252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef

is the best Blissey spread imo.

 

[goofball]

I like how you complain how Adv was stally yet used skarm blissey starmie muchless involves stalling and ur team is really spike spike spike let heracross do everything...why this team is still alive I dont know it loses to boah like every stalling team anyways for your jirachi weakness you can slow it down with metagross over your jirachi

Bold Nature
252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef

is the best Blissey spread imo.

that be ok if he wasn't running ice beam I prefer to actually hurt shit outside of dugtrio plus he needs the extra specatt incase he runs into those physical teams with magneton DDmence setup and as long as starmie is weaken he loses so using the extra specatt is helpful

With Ice Beaming Blissey you can take EVs out of HP and into Satk, the HP drop won't matter much when you still have at least 650ish.

+Atk on Gengar is a waste because it only needs 200ish for the 2HKO on Blissey, so boost its Satk or Speed instead to get higher stats.

Jirachi NEEDS another attacking move unless you want to put Dugtrio in to handle Tyranitar, otherwise it comes in every time to stop you cold. In fact, once Starmie/Heracross are in KOing range Tyranitar comes in and sets up on you. IMO replace Gengar for a something that can handle Tyranitar, because Gengar doesn't really do much to help this team.

what should the moveset be for metagross? Choice Band or something more defensive? STalk?.

These evs are ok for Skarmory? Or should I drop some spdefense and put it in attack?

Im going to try claydol over starmie and see how it does.

I think SDef EVs on Skarmory are a waste personally, why would you want to switch him in on a special move or keep him in against a special sweeper in the first place? Am I missing something here?

because he also has jirachi w/ wish.

btw, storm, blissey wants 212 hp EVs imo just a suggestion (dont take it out of def)

 

[Shichiro]

Oh, I wasn't paying attention to the first post, only his Skarmory question. Sorry about that.
