I have two questions.

1st: What is the best Ability for Gliscor? I know Sand Veil is used to somewhat counter Tyranitar and can also be used with Tyranitar. But, Salamence, Gyarados and other Intimidate users are used a lot nowadays so I could use Hyper Cutter to stop Intimidates from hurting my team as bad as they could. I'm leaning towards Hyper Cutter, but I don't know. I'd like to hear from some people who really know wat they are talking about.

2nd: Should I use Jolly or Adamant on my Breloom. I gave it Poison Heal and Toxic Orb, along with Spore/Focus Punch/Seed Bomb/Stone Edge. Pretty simple question, I just don't know which to chose as I've seen both.

Sorry if either have been asked before.
 
Hey guise. Earlier, you told me that if I really didn't want the daycare lady to decide my fucking Pokemon's moveset, I could raise it until it stops learning moves and then breed it. But that would mean I would raise a Hippowdon I'm not gonna use to level 60. That's ridiculous. Is that reeeeeeeally reeeeeeeeeally the only way? Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaally?

Well, I wouldn't go with Sand Veil simply to go avoid sweeping Tyranitars and Hippowdons. If it creates synergy with your team, by all means, go with Sand Veil. If your Gliscor is more based on attacking power than scouting attacks and Stealth Rocking, you should probably go with Hyper Cutter. Of course, you can run a Sand Veil Gliscor that still physically sweeps and Baton Pass a Swords Dance or two to it, so that way, it will still have high attack, even after Intimidate. All in all, the best trait is the one that works for you and your team.
In the case of Breloom, I would go Adamant, since Breloom's speed is somewhat average, in my opinion.
Also, if your Toxic Orb/Poison Heal heals equal amounts of HP as Leftovers does, then I think you should give it Effect Spore. I have never seen that combo for myself, but if it heals the same amount of HP(which is about 1/16th), go with what I said.

How about taking it out once in a while and moving the most important move(s) to the bottom of the list? The first ones to get deleted are the ones on the top.

Anyway, I have my own question:

I plan on using the flinch haxing Togekiss mentioned in the Analysis, but the EV spread isn't clear. They just mention to max out his HP, but don't give many other indications. They say you can just boost his Sp Atk with Nasty Plot, so EVs aren't needed, but the one I plan on using won't have Nasty Plot, so should I invest EVs into Sp Atk? Or should I still focus on HP, Def and Sp Def, and if so, what proportions? Max HP, then split evenly, or emphasis on Sp Def, or what?

Thanks in advance

Hmm, okay thanks. My Gliscor runs Stealth Rock and Roost, so I'll go with Sand Veil like you said. And with Breloom, Toxic Orb/Poison Heal not only heals HP, but also gives it Status immunity since it is already poisoned. Plus, anyone trying to Trick or Switcheroo me gets placed with a Toxic Orb. I just prefer it over Lefties.

Seriously, you could find the answer to this yourself. Google. Use it. Anyway here it is for you anyway.

@ Stinkoman
The moves imparted by the pokemons father remain the same until the father is taken out, wheter it levels up and learns new moves or not.
 
The move Super Power is exactly like Close Combat, but it lowers Attack and Defense instead of Defense and Special Defense, right?
If this is the case, then on a Hyper Cutter Pinsir, would Super Power be preferred because it only lowers one stat? This is assuming of course that Hyper Cutter negates the Attack drop from the move.
 
If I have pokemon with a power anklet equipped and I kill a pokemon that give attack IVs, do I also get speed IVs? If so, are they affected by pokevirus?

Clear body doesn't so I suppose hyper cutter also doesn't.Has anyone tested this?
 
Clear Body and Hyper Cutter prevents stat drops from the opponent. Since Super Power is not an attack coming from an opponent then yes, it lowers the stats.
