Anybody?
TBH this is a pretty good team. Reasons? Ive seen this team a thousand freaking times and it has good synergy and does not really have any dedicated counters. If you want people to talk about your team, use the RMT forum even after you test it. This is the best way to improve your team. Dont worry too much about letting other people know all the parts about your team or about it being leaked.
What is the best (or least sucky) moveset for a Moxie Mightyena? I've tried to come up with one but I don't have to much experience in competative battling and next to none in gen V. I came up with this though:
Adamant/Jolly @Life Orb
4 Hp/252 Atk/252 Spe
Sucker Punch
Taunt
Substitute
Thunder/Fire/Ice Fang
Switch in after a death to revenge kill and get the moxie boost and then spam STAB Sucker Punch. Taunt to stop set ups trying to ruin Sucker Punch or Substitute for status and what not. Fangs as a filler/coverage but idk if its worth it. Is this viable or is there something "better"? Thanks
Virizion gave me some help. I just wanted another opinion/more options. Thanks
No, but there is an ability introduced in BW that makes a Pokémon heavier, Heavy Metal
I think Absol can do the same thing better with access to Swords Dance and Superpower and much better base Attack
Not to mention Honchkrow outspeeds by 1 point, and has better overall defenses. I guess he has...Super Fang? Not SR weak? W/e...
As for my question: What would be a good set for a lead Mienshao? I've been using Fake Out/HJK/Stone Edge/U-Turn with a Silk Scarf, but I'm not sure it's really working for me...
No, just moves like Thunder Wave, Will-O-Wisp, and Toxic
Y'all tested it? I figure you did, because if it did work like that Skill Swapping it would be neat.
These three threads might have one:

...though the last one is listed as a placeholder I believe (it does have two sets in it).
if a pokemon is badly poisoned and has poison heal, does the healing stack like the poison damage?
I made a manual rain dance team with the core of KingColoKops. The problem I most suffer with is paralysis. I was looking for something that could rain dance and is immune, benefits, or doesn't mind thunder wave. Actually, I was looking for two of these because Bronzong and Crobat just aren't working out.
swampert is also an option
Every time I go to sync up my game with my GL account I keep getting the "Wait one day" message. What am I doing wrong??
Cress was OU in Gen IV for a long time FYI.
Anyways, crappy typing, non reliable-recover for a wall and tyranitar (and if you consider Gen V the existance of reuniclus) are the main reasons.

Theres always Celebii. Heal bell + natural cure are sure to keep your team status free.
I know...Gamefreak hates Mightyena. Totally outclassed by Honchkrow. So then lets say I HAVE to use Moxie Mightyena. What's a good set for it?
Mightyena has a pretty bad
Mightyena @ Life Orb
Jolly
Moxie
- Taunt
- Sucker Punch
- Fire Fang
- Return
Also, asking again about the best set for a lead Mienshao.
Mienshao@LO
252 Atk/252 Spe /4 HP
Jolly/Naive
Ability: Regenerator
-Fake Out
-HJK
-U-Turn
-Taunt/HP Ice
If you use HP Ice go with Naive and 4 SpA EVs. Its important to always use U-Turn and Fake Out with Mienshao otherwise its a worse Terrakion.
Burn/Paralyze and buffs/debufs
I've been playing pokemon lately and was wondering how OP debuffs and the like would be with burn/paralyze. So I came up with a few questions I figured you guys would know the answers to.
Thanks,

- Does Burn's/Paralyze's status effect change stack with buffs/debuffs?
- If so, which affects the base stat first Burn's/Paralyze's status effect or buffs/debuffs?
- Is there an absolute minimum a stat can be reduced to no matter the scenario?
Thanks,
