Glaceon is neither fragile nor a sweeper. Mixape 2-hit KOs 252 HP Glaceon with Close Combat or Flamethrower, and Glaceon does not have the speed to pull off a sweeper set.

Granted, in the typical case you don't want Glaceon to stay in against infernape, but anything that can withstand a super-effective hit from both sides of Mixape is certainly not "fragile".

The problem with Glaceon is speed if anything. Even with a scarf, it fails to outrun necessary threats, and that its defenses are just too low for it to tank.

Aww...I really like Glaceon...Is Froslass more useful than it on a Hail team? What's a good ev spread for a Spiking Destiny Bonding Support Froslass? I saw your warstory and it looked really sweet...

What's a good UU counter to Feraligater? The analysis only lists BLs and OUs as counters.

Leafeon is being debated atm, but meganium, quagsire and apparently mantine are all valid counters. Most anything capable of soaking water hits that also phazes can counter.

Is counter and reversal possible on a raichu? If not, can i know the fastest pokemon with counter and reversal.

Trying to build a set that uses focus sash to Counter for a KO on the first hit then procede to sweep with Reversal. Would this actually work?

Counter and Reversal hmmm......

I would say Riolu/Lucario is a decent user of this combo. Base 90 in speed isn't enough to outspeed a lot but sandstream immunity is nice. Heracross can also do this but with a base 85 it's even slower the Lucario plus Hera has a lot of other things to do. Raticate can also do it but come on no stab on reversal is rather disappointing base 97 speed however makes it one of the fastest users out there. Blaziken can do it as well base 80 speed us nowhere near useable to pull this off without the salac boost(plus speed right?) Rhyperior is another user of this combo he's a lot slower with a base of just 55(iirc) but has outstanding defenses making him one of the bulkiest users available. Vigoroth/Slaking is also able to pull this off as well. But I'm leaning on Vigo over Slaking since Truant kills your chances of ever pulling this off. In the end I think you could surprise a couple of opponents with this but a lot carry priority moves which will screw you over.
 
I really don't get how GTS chaining works....who would put up a good IV'ed Pokemon on the GTS?

And what exactly is the process of GTS chaining?
 
Why can't Shedinja get any combination of Agility, Swords Dance, and Baton Pass? Ninjask learns all 3; can't a male one pass it to the baby Nincada that results?

I'm not really familiar about the term GTS chaining. Reasons however why someone would put a good iv'd pokemon on the GTS is simple to clone.
 
I don't want a cloning guide lol, I want to know exactly what GTS Spamming/chaining is.

Also, you the same Toothache from PokeCommunity? You had a fish for your avatar or something lol?
