I wouldn't really recommend it because it doesn't allow Mienshao to beat its normal counters. I have used Mienshao a lot in OU, and honestly, it has a lack of bulk that prevents it from setting up. Also, 105 base speed is just short of the 108 Speed tier, allowing it to be beat easily by the musketeers. The best set is probably the LO set with Regenerator and Hidden Power Ice because it bypasses Landorus T and Gliscor, and shrugs off passive damage easily.
Correct :)
Yes.
However, you should inform any opponent that you are using hacked Pokemon, and be warned that most tournaments, including Official Nintendo formats do not allow hacked Pokemon, no matter how legal they might be.
If you are planning to play in tournaments yes, but if you are just casually playing on Wi-Fi then PokeGen is prefectly fine (however i am pretty sure there are ways to let a hacked pokeon get past the security checks).
which ways are they??? because i do not want to breed for perfect iv's and ev train, its to time consuming??
Since i never really played a pokemon game after Gen 2 on anything but a simulator i don't really know much about hacking in Pokemon, if you don't want to IV breed you should learn to abuse the PRNG in the game click here for info and if you don't want to EV train and lvl up to 100 you can simply hack for rare candys and EV items like Protein and the feathers.
If you want info on how to hack in pokemon your best bet is propably google wich will likely give you a million tutorials that show you how to cheat, but it is not allowed to ask about things like this in this forum.
Hey guys, I just fought a dedicated assist team with Prankster Lagging Tail Liepard using Shadow Force on Showdown. It seemingly had +1 priority on the charging turn and negative priority (-1, I suppose) on the attacking turn. Therefore, it cannot be hit by attacks other than faster priority, phazing moves, or counter, I guess. I've identified the following methods of beating that thing: packing faster priority, packing a normal type (however, he would use both gothitelle and gothorita @ flame orb to take care of those), toxic spikes + bulky phaser, packing something with a solid recovery move, having a team which can survive 32 Shadow Forces and packing something with Counter. That being said, it definitely sucked playing against this guy with a regular offensive team. Are there any other ways of beating that kind of strategy?
Liepard uses Assist first because of Prankster while the opponent tries to attack (and can' hit it). The second turn the opponent goes first because of Lagging Tail (can't touch Liepard) and the attack hits. Imo this is a really bad strategy (similar to full V-Create teams) that can be easily stopped by the likes of Blissey. (even togepi can stop the team cold).
It's not just normal types. Steel types stop it cold too. Sandstorm and hail wear it down. Ferrothorn in particular is a good counter because it has iron barbs, and takes almost no damage. Skarmory is in the same boat, minus the barbs, but it can phaze liepard out. And scizor resists shadow force and has priority. So really, you should be fine if you have a steel or normal type, can set up hazards, have any priority, or can predict.
If it has lagging tail (which they always do) then yes, it will outspeed. All you need is priority, which plenty of offensive teams have.
Assist is given +1 priority, which is the same as bullet punch/mach punch/whatever, but since liepard is slower it will still use shadow force after the priority move. Venusaur was outsped because it didn't have priority.
Both are still active
