Why on earth are you trying to use Ivysaur in the Battle Subway? Couldn't you just use Venusaur instead? I know you want the Evolite boost, but I doubt it's a acceptable tradeoff for Venusaur's higher speed and offensive stats.

I jusust put that because I have an ivysuar right now im going to evolve it

Forgive me I thought for some reason Naive lowers SpA. >_<

You should invest more in Attack, so perhaps a spread like 172/80/252 would work. Not sure what threats you outrun with max Speed, so you could run a little less in exchange for more bulk or something.

hmmm, so do the 172 in atk mean something or do they just even the offensive stats? Lol kinda incompetent but at least I'm getting closer :) It seems better than what I had :p
Thanks a lot! Anyone care to contribute?
 
i know that u should NOT invest in anything then on Hp on a imposter ditto what about the other EVs speed? what about natures?
 
HP and Speed are unaffected by transforming, so you want to max those and run a +Speed nature. Also keep in mind that Hidden Power will match your IVs, so if you want to copy something with it and get a specific Hidden Power you need to adjust your IVs accordingly.

With Eccentric, your Speed stat changes to that of the opponent's.

So, should I use Heatproof or Levitate on Bronzong? Nya~ silly question, but since everyone is used to and expects Levitate Bronzong, I decided I'd see someone get surprised at seeing a Bronzong take less damage from Fire-type attacks.
 
Levitate because even though it is the most expected ability, levitate allows you to be a hard counter to pokemon like excadrill and landlos who otherwise destro you. Also, heatproof doesn't stop you from taking fire damage and fire type moves themselves aren't very common compared to the vast amount of earthquakes flying around. Also you don't take spikes damage

Great point. Even though I'm using this in GBU and Spikes aren't likely in 3v3.

P.S. I'm using a gimmick set, well, not exactly a gimmick:
Bronzong @ Normal Gem
Adamant | Levitate
252 HP/252 Atk/6 Def
Explosion
Earthquake
Gyro Ball
Zen Headbutt

In addition, there's not too many Landorus (haven't seen one in over two months) or Excadrill (seen about two this past month), but a large amount of Arcanine/Blaziken/Heatran, and other (gimmicky) Fire-types, in Random Matchup Singles, Unrated mode. Although Earthquake is common, I doubt anyone will try to attack you with it, so Heatproof might have merit (considering their Heatran doesn't realize it can murder your 'Zong with Earth Power)
 
Thanks Virizion, so now I think I'll use a Heatproof Bronzong. Like I said, it was a gimmick, so some things may be "out of place from the standards".

I have ALWAYS wanted to use a Dwebble competitively, and of course, I mean in GBU, so I made this:
Dwebble @ Dark Gem
Adamant
252 Atk/252 Spd/6 HP
Shell Smash
Night Slash
X-Scissor
Rock Blast

Recently I've discovered, yes, a DAMAGE CALCULATOR!!! And I've used it to my benefits. According to it, and hopefully I'm not wrong with this, Rock Blast without any boosts, each rock, will decimate over a half of Accelgor's HP (A 6 HP set), and is used first against said Accelgor, since even after Shell Smash, Dwebble cannot outrun Accelgor, and it's the only one he cannot outrun after a Shell Smash, other than some other Scarfed Pokemon. After a Shell Smash, Dark Gem Night Slash will OHKO 252 HP/252 Atk Golurk, since he resists both Rock Blast and X-Scissor. Rock Blast is to break Substitutes, and X-Scissor is for STAB and coverage.

EDIT: I feel soooo much better knowing damage calculators exist.
 
oh ok thanks ill just EV in Speed and HP and throw a choice sacarf with it


MY 100 POST yaaay i thank Virizion Zacchhaeus Haunter EDP Shadow Zoroark Dragonite8 dead man´s oddysey dragonboy52 julios Aura Sphere PLC Moo (lol first shoutouts and this isn´t a 1K i needed an opportunity like that lol)
 
Nyaah, I still don't know which to use: Heatproof or Levitate. Either way, Mold Breaker Haxorus screws this guy, so...any suggestions?

Well, sometimes in random matchup you will REALLY need to be able to switch bronzong into Earthquake so you don't lose an important pokemon. Besides, heatproof doesn't make you immune to fire, you just take half damage, whereas levitate gives you a full immunity. Besides, +2 blaziken with life orb will still have a 53% chance to OHKO you even with max/max and a +defense nature.

1. Yes, I'm using Dwebble, not Crustle.
2. Ah, I see. Thanks for the extra insight.

We need Evs and natures. This is so its easier to judge your pokemon.. Also, how are you going to annoy? Drapion has whirlwind to not be blocked by sound proof by the way.
In addition, Confuse ray and roar is not a good combo since switching negates confusion. I suggest coverage moves such a F-Fang to kill steels, Aquatail to kill heatran, or night slash to kill Latias, depending on your team.
With proper support, that set should do fine. I use a similar set, except without Confuse ray.
I screamed "Back Flip" BTW. lol
 
262 sp.atk is needed to have a chance to OHKO 4hp/0spD Starmie (224 EVs with neutral nature, 132 Evs with positive nature) (minimum 85.1%)
Gengar has lower Sp.def
