Any viable Impish M-Sableye spreads? Main dex only mentions Careful and Bold.
who the fuck let this thread go on so long without making a new one
Your mum
since ghosts can't be trapped in XY, can they be roared out after being baton passed ingrain?
I think it's in the way that Ghost-types only avoid getting trapped from Shadow Tag, they can be trapped from stuff like Ingrain I'm quite sure. Similarly Pokemon not affected by Ground-type moves don't get trapped from Arena Trap, but get trapped from other things.
Edit: Looks like I thought wrong then

Yeah I know ghost types can't be trapped. I read ghost types can voluntarily switch out when trapped by ingrain, so I was wondering if that means they can be forced out as well.
I thought Levitate and Flying types escaping was on Arena Traps end. To my knowledge, Ghost types are immune to trapping period, because I remember people discussing Aegislash being untrappable not just by Gothitelle, but by Magnezone during the tests when discussing his pivoting abilities.
What are some decent lures for Azumarill?
Weavile and M-Sharpedo with Poison Jab do a fine job at luring in Fairies in general (they both 2HKO Azumarill). There's also the rare but cool to use Banded Infernape with Gunk Shot that I've personally use with some success which lures in many Fairies (OHKO on Azumarill).
I'm sure there's many more of them, but those are the ones that come to my mind. I'm sure there are other people that might answer you better than me.
HP Electric Keldeo, Solar Beam Heatran, Poison Jab Weavile
It's always great to have another wincon and you could possibly even throw hazard control and a stallbreaker on there as well like Taunt Gengar or something like that
For LO pokemon, is 29 HP IV always better than 31 (the same way 0 atk > 31/30 atk iv for purely special attackers), or is it more of a situational thing?
It's largely dependent on each Mon's Base HP stat. LO Gengar runs an IV of 29 because it makes the last HP digit a 9, maximizing the amount of HP it gets (factoring in LO recoil) and gives an extra attack. Other Mons would have to run different HP IVs depending on their stat to make the last digit a 9.
Mega Garchomp does not run any bulk investment as far as I know. Normal Garchomp is a better tank since Rough Skin + Rocky Helmet lets it wear down/punish contact attackers like Bisharp and Mega Metagross.
ohh I see do you know its wall breaking set then
I suggest checking out the strategy dex, which you can access from the site's front page (I'd link you the analysis directly but I'm on my phone).
Garchomp @ Garchompite
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly / Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance
- Dragon Claw
- Fire Fang / Stone Edge
This is Mega Chomp's best set atm. I personally prefer an Adamant Nature over Jolly but Jolly gets the jump on things like neutral-natured Kyubes and everything slower.
thanks a lot bro could you perhaps slash dragon claw for draco meteor as a way to defeat its physical switch ins
Why makes Mega Garchomp's SD set so good compared to regular LO + SD Garchomp?
Regular Chomp has more Speed (allows it to outspeed base 100s like Zards and Mega Gard) and hits harder with a Life Orb. Is the increase in bulk that much more important?
