looks like I may just need to play around on the simulator till I find something that works
I personally would say Earthquake (provided you pair it with Flyer) Dragon Dance, Waterfall/Aqua Tail, and probably one of the Elemental Fangs. But that's just my prefence. I would send it out with a Noiverm or Zapdos or something similiar personally.
 
Looking for one of these , pm me if you have it

So I should take his already blistering speed and add to it further, to ensure that Manectric almost never gets outsped? I admit, it does sound appealing...the few Pokemon that are faster than Mega-Manectric (that are non-Uber) probably wouldn't be using Speed-boosting natures of their own, and the're all pretty frail regardless.
I use Mega Manectric a lot, and based on my play time I've concluded:
  • Timid > Modest. Like Valzy said, Manectric has a great speed tier which it should be taking advantage of. Timid also allows you to outspeed neutral nature base 150s. You don't have to run 252 speed Evs on Timid either--at level 50, you only need 240 EVs with a speed+ nature to outspeed the aforementioned neutral 150s.
  • Thunderbolt is definitely the most reliable option. Thunder if you're using it in the rain.
  • Volt Switch is absolutely necessary, since Mega Manectric should be utilized as a fast, hard hitting pivot.
  • HP Ice is really the only viable Hidden Power, Manectric needs it for stuff like Lando and Gliscor. HP Grass is a nice alternative in UU though.
  • I personally prefer Overheat over Flamethrower to hit things hard as hell. It's a similar debate to Dragon Pulse vs Draco meteor.

I think as Manetric is a hit and run kinda attacker, overheat fits better.
 
What would be the best item for my Dragon Dance/Drain Punch/Ice Punch/Crunch Scrafty? Life Orb, Expert Belt (gains the 1.3x power bonus without losing health), Lum Berry, or the berry that dampens damage taken from any Super Effective move?

If you're running Drain Punch, I'd go LO, if you're running High Jump Kick, run Lum. Lum is still useful, even if you are running Drain Punch, but I like the added power. LO + HJK is overkill.

I'd take Lum since you're using a setup sweeper it may get rid of a nasty paralysis or burn.
 
anyone with competitive battling experience want to rate my planned team via pm? I could also post it in the thread but im still tweakings things and ive been drinking :P
 
I just looked up what pokemon has all three of those moves, and after getting Drapion I gave up, so i might be wrong.

Also, will my Scraggy being Adamant instead of Jolly affect my play at all?
At +1, you need Jolly to outspeed up to base 111's, I believe. List of some relevant Mons that outspeed if you're Adamant and at +1:
Timid Thundurus-I
Gengar
Latios
Infernape
Galvantula
Terrakion
Keldeo
Mega Pinsir
Mienshao
Garchomp
Thundurus-T
Landorus-I
Charizard
Volcarona
Hydreigon
 
Can someone give me a legitimancy test on this please (This seems to good to be true):

Seviper Male Level 100 31/31/31/31/31/31 OT Ash ID No. 01337 Shed Skin Ability Haze/Poison Jab/Poison Tail/Bite Mild Nature.

Just got this in a random Trade. It says it came from the Unova Region. So it was a Pokebank Transfer. And it's in a Pokeball.

Does anyone know if the ID/OT rings any bells as a Hacked Mon? if Not, I just used a whole years worth of luck,

Hack. Don't trust that Ash OT with the ID No. 01337. That's pretty much a dead giveaway.
 
Thanks wanted to be sure as I got that in a random trade for a level 1 Amura that was the first hint. So what should I do with it? Breeding fodder for Legit Pokes?
And I kinda figured but wanted to give the bloke benefit of the doubt.
If you use a hacked poke for breeding, all its offspring will be considered hacks here on Smogon, just fyi

Thanks did not know that. I'll just get rid of it then. Since I can't use it at all for anything Legit. Was hoping to make some good out of a bad situation but oh well screw it.
And Pokebnak's Legitmancy Checker....is just crap incarnate. And it's gone released, end of story.
