bulky scizor
i was curious about scizor- Why is it that we focus on speed? as a phys sweeper it is slow (only better than walls) It has DECENT hp and defense for the power it packs. focusing on speed only wastes points bettere spent on HP, as you will never catch up to the sweepers that actualy threaten you. One weakness with the MAJORITY of the remainder being a resitance makes scyther a good candidate for HP and attack ev training. Speed's base is 65. HP's base is 70. DOes this not make scizor about more than just a speedster, when obviously it is not? Just because its graceful / thin and insectlike doesnt mean you have to go for speed... am i missing something? thanks for the help

Where Scizor can care for all it's other stats

what would a leading Yanmega and Berloom do to a lead bronzong woulda they spore/ hypnosis or protect 1st
also i feel a little better if you use Yanmega or berloom as a lead and explain what you would do

Hypnosis/Spore.....
Bronzong gets Stealth Rock, they would try to stop it from setting it up.
Breloom would Spore 100% of the time, pretty much.
The average Yanmega would Hypnosis, but since many lead Bronzongs carry Lum Berries, a smarter user might pack up and run for fear of Gyro Ball nearly OHKOing the frail bug. Breloom doesn't take that much from it, so it has less of a risk.

What works better in Standard Wi-fi? Vileplume or Altaria?
Somebody on the interwebs must know this...
If your talking about the LO set, it's...
216 Atk / 96 SpA / 196 Spe
~ Crunch
~ Earthquake / Stone Edge
~ Fire Blast
~ Ice Beam
Photo-copied from the analysis
The game still thinks you resetted for the Shaymin legitimately, and so it doesn't affect its legitimacy.
does soft-reseting effect your game at all? I heard it does.
Ok, On my Shoddy team I run a TR Ursaring (Thus why I bred it for my thread), However I am unsure what move to give it for better coverage.
Ursaring
Hammer Arm
Crunch
Facade
(Which Move)
Options I'd prefer to use is one of the Elemental Punches, So which one is best in this set?

Ah, thank you. I was unaware of it being in the analyse, I thought it was something that was just came up with.
@rayquaza69, soft resetting does not have any effects on your game. You could mess up your DS's power switch by soft resetting manually.
@ultimatefreshness, Haze does go through Clear Body. From the abilities page, Clear Body prevents stats from being lowered. With Haze, you are eliminating any boosts your opponent has accumulated.
@Ghandi1988, here is a list for this Gen's TMs and HMs

@Lawman, according to the following page, you can't have a base 70 Hidden Power Fighting with a max speed IV
