I'd say Mega Manectric and Krookodile are good bets if you're looking for intimidate support - the former does take up a mega slot (by extension require mega evolving in order to be effective + zero recovery) and is rather frail uninvested w/o intimidate, but it does have great offense + speed coupled with overheat which gets boosted by the sun and volt switch to keep up the momentum. Krookodile on the other hand also makes a great intimidate pivot/support that has a deceptively good physical bulk with intimidate & investment and can be used to fulfill a more diverse niches (toxic, taunt, rocks, knock off, etc) than Mega Manectric - only downside is that it lacks U-turn/Volt switch. I left out Gyarados since you are using a sun team, and Mawile isn't ideal since it's pretty frail and loses intimidate once it mega evolves.so hopefully this makes sense: I run landorus- T on my sun team for showdown. I'm trying to create the team in game but obviously i dont have access to Landorus. My question can anyone think of a poke thats a solid defensive pivot or has intimidate support? Now that I think about it Gliscor is a nice option but if theres anything similar with intimidate let me know

I must admit, Manectric is pretty shaky as a true defnesive pivot given how offensively baed it is... and I completely forgot that knock off was move tutor only for Krook, such a shame :( Other than those two + Gyara, I don't believe there's anything that is actually bulky enough to be viable as dedicated pivots...Manectric can't act as a pivot because he can barely take any hit. Krookodile would be a nice option with the bonus that water moves are weakened by the sun, unfortunatelly you can't get Knock-Off or SR on him until bank is available :^(

I would be interested in one, CMT for oneHello, I have a spare 31/x/31/31/31/31 calm natural cure chansey (heal ball) for trade with the egg moves seismic toss and aromatherapy. Looking to trade for other 5iv pokemon.
If PhoenixClaw has traded away his Chansey already, I can breed you one (in heal ball w/ egg moves)I would be interested in one, CMT for one
I would be willing to trade for that. PM me.i got some flawless adamant tyrunt when doing a breeding project for a friend, if anyone wants please pm
egg moves: dragon dance, poison fang, fire fang, ice fang
looking for 4 and 5 iv dittos, flawless pokemon, and bp items
cant trade right now because the project isnt finished yet, but i will make contact later
Definitely training up their best stats. Sometimes training up their weaker stats is viable but not most of the time.whats better for super training, making the stats that are good for that pokemon better or bringing up the weaker areas of the pokemon?
if the guy that rates the pokemon IVs say the pokemon is "outstanding" and ends with "they simply cant be beat", is that how you know if they are perfect?
Simply can't be beat means the IVs mentioned are perfect 31s - outstanding refers to the total sum of the IVs - a pokemon can be outstanding without having 5-6*31 IVs.
please pm me, cant pm anyone with my phone, only aswer to pmsI would be willing to trade for that. PM me.
Thanks for the input! I think im actually going to do Hitmontop because it provides intimidate and rapid spin and then use Gliscor as a u-turn pivotManectric can't act as a pivot because he can barely take any hit. Krookodile would be a nice option with the bonus that water moves are weakened by the sun, unfortunatelly you can't get Knock-Off or SR on him until bank is available :^(
Rotom-W is my favourite defensive pivot in OU, but he's a nono in the sun. Maybe you could try physically defensive Rotom-H with a similar set? idk... he can pack volt switch/thunderbolt for water types.
actually it means between 30-31 which is good to remember if youre shooting for a Hidden powerThank you, thats what i thought just wanted to makre sure
Hello everyone,
I have a box of Jolly Ekans to give away. They are mostly Intimidate but there are a few Shed Skin, and they are all 5IV, but they are all imperfect. They also have the following egg moves: Iron Tail, Poison Fang, Switcheroo, and Sucker Punch. I have, I think, every combination of gender and 'missing' IV, so just ask away. I will say, however, there is only one male missing Atk, if you are thinking of that for breeding purposes.
This is the very last chance as well to get my 4IV Scatterbugs, Vullaby, Tirtouga, or Phanpy before they go on Wonder Trade over the weekend.
As ever, all of the above are free to good homes, and even though today is my birthday, don't let that influence you when it comes to deciding what to trade me. : )
I also have a few 'perfect' 5IV Pokemon for trade, including Ekans. I will happily trade them for your random IV, random nature, HA 'fossil Pokemon' (in particular Lileep), a random IV, random nature, random ability Frillish, or HA Arcanine.
Not be greedy or anything but could I get both a shed skin ekans and a Phanpy? I have Phanpy in my safari but ive been able to get oneHello everyone,
