Quick question. For a lead smeargle does it really matter where the rest of the ev's go after speed investment? From what I've seen he never seems to spong any hits. I have one last move to sketch as well(currently spore/rocks/sticky), and I'm not sure what to choose.

Secondly, just made an SB Sharpedo. Adamant w/full invest in atk/speed. Running crunch/waterfall but uncertain about the last two slots. Contemplating Destiny Bond + Poison Jab, yet I'm also thinking about bumping D-bond for Ice Fang just to have nice coverage.
What do you think?
 
Hi, I'm looking for these shiny pokemon with 5 ivs:
Bulbasaur (Modest) chlorophyll
Honedge (Modest/Timid)
Tornadus (Naive) must know Superpower
Landorus (Adamant) needs Stealth Rock
Hawlucha (Jolly) unburden
skrelp (modest/calm)
clauncher (modest)
noibat (timid)

Please VM/PM me if you have them. I have a plethora of pokebank mons that are 5 iv shinies. Here's some that are useful:

ralts timid 31/x/31/30/31/31 great ball, hyper voice
azelf timid 31/x/31/31/31/31 dive ball
heatran timid 31/x/31/31/31/31 premier ball with stealth rock
cresselia bold 31/x/31/31/31/31 dive ball, knows icy wind and helping hand (great for vgc and doubles!)
porygon timid 31/x/31/31/31/31 dive ball
rotom timid 31/x/31/31/31/31 premier ball
more gen4/5 mons just ask, I have almost all of them

needs cloned:
Litleo timid 31/x/31/31/31/31 repeat ball
Greninja timid 31/x/31/31/31/31 repeat ball
skiddo adamant x/31/31/x/31/31 nest ball

Also, I'd like a timid female cottonee with beat up, switcheroo, and encore. In nest ball or premier would be preferable. Doesn't have to be shiny.

This is why whimicott, klefki, and sableye are so popular. Every smeargle is running that exact set. gonna be a sad day when you get taunted. But focus sash works the best as it will allow you to get one hazard up unless they are running fake-out and taunt which is common now

Destiny Bond is a must on Sharpedo imo. It ensures that if his good but not great power isn't going to get the job done then he can at least take one poke out with him.
 

I rather like Sableye myself. Just made one a couple of weeks ago. I've just been running a suicide-mamo lead for the longest time, and I wanted to use something else even though it's a little outplayed. Was also thinking of making Smeargle's last move Taunt to put a damper on slower hazard leads.

taunt isnt a bad idea but the problem is Smeargle will be taunted by prankster users Thundurus, sableye, and klefki and the minute team preview shows up and there's a smeargle on your team. they are going to counter your lead

I agree with this thought process, but most would say Bond is kind of gimmicky. Once I reveal it I feel like it could be easily worked around unless I save him for clean up. Should I run protect on him?

A definitely probability. Got any suggestions for other leads? Mamoswine has never let me down, but I could go for a change up.

Definitely. Gotta get that speed boost going. And yeah it is kinda gimmicky but just try and not reveal it until you know you're going down

I"m dealing with the same prob you are. ive been running a whimsy lead and now im dealing with charizard and other pokes who can kill him so im trying to find a new lead
 
Looking for Totodile/Cyndaquil/Chikorita and a Pokemon with Pokerus. I can offer legitimate Mewtwo/Palkia/Azelf/Uxie/Mesprit/2 Masterballs/Suicune/Articuno/Moltres/Zapdos and more. I need them for Pokemon Pearl

I run magic coat on smeargle it has priority of +6 or something so its a nice way to beat saybleye :)
 
I was given a large number of Pokemon back when hg/ss first came out that to the best of my knowledge were mostly all 5 or 6IVs, he was fairly regular here. I am unsure on the redistribution rights of these Pokemon how would I found that out. Would it be ill advised to blindly offer them up for some pokes that I want. I was looking for a Meloetta and Shaymin just for personal enjoyment, not competitive purposes, and was wondering if anyone could oblige.
 
Can someone help me trade evo my Machoke real quick?

Can repay you with an (Great Ball)Adamant No-Guard Spitback w/BP, Ice Punch, Knock Off, and Close Combat or a Bold Yamask spitback w/Disable + Nasty Plot.

EDIT: Still LF Toxic Spikes Koffing Spitback(Bold)
