Thanks for that info. Looks like Serene Grace cant double Secret Power's side effect. At least in Gen 5. I'm not 100% sure thats the case in Gen 6, but it probably is. If SP's paralysis rate is only 30% even with Toge then Body Slam is the best option. For Gen 6, all WiFi battles are...

With AV, the only reason to use SP is that you have no access to BS. In the sim you'll prefer BS always, no doubt. I like Tri-Attack a lot. 80 BP is sexy. Sadly, 20% rate of inducing a status (40% with Serene Grace) its low compared to BS/SP but you could get someone frozen with that so it...

Secret Power is more easy to get on Toge than Body Slam. So yes, is an excellent alternative to WiFi battling. The only reason you'll use SP over BS (if you have access to both moves) is if you want to run Nasty Plot on the set. Because BS is a 3 Gen tutor move and Nasty Plot was introduced as...

Flash Cannon in a Specs set I dont think is a good idea. FC only beats Ice Beam in that scenario (againts a "speedy" Xerneas) and is not enough of a reason to run the move. Overall Ice Beam is a better move to use and spam. No doubt. On a scarf set FC can hit any Xerneas/Arceus-Fairy on the...

Flash Cannon is a bad option for Kyurem-W in general. I'm well aware of that xD. FC can potentially OHKO 4HP Xerneas (100% with SRock), Ice Beam can do that but not as well (7% with SR). Thats the only scenario FC is better than Ice Beam for Specs Kyurem-W. A scarf Kyurem set can 2HKO with...

252HP Xerneas can take a Flash Cannon from Specs Kyurem-W and proceed to KO or Geomancy. 252Speed Xerneas can OHKO him with Moonblast if Kyurem-W is Modest or Xerneas is Timid, etc. Those Arc-formes cant be OHKO with FC even by Specs Modest Kyurem and they can OHKO back with no investment in...

Non-Specs Kyurem-W fails to OHKO Xerneas (0 HP/0 SDEF), Arceus-Fairy (252 HP/0 SDEF) and Arceus-Rock (252 HP/0 SDEF) and they can answer back with Geomancy/Judgment. EDIT: Fails to OHKO With Flash Cannon...

The only thing Delphox could do over Victini (IMO) is take down Landorus-I with HP-Ice (and possibly non-scarfed Garchomp). Magician adds Thief to every attacking move and thats cool. Playing with Switcheroo could mess the opponent's team big time. Delphox cant use Wish as well as other...

Sadly, it seems M-Banette cant get Focus Punch. So we'll have to stick to Shadow Claw (or Knock Off could work if one predicts the switch out if DB "fails").

It looks like you want to double switch in front of M-Gengar (correct me if I missunderstood what you said) and that can't be done. You have to wait until M-Gengar switch out before you can do it. But if you scare M-Gengar back to his pokeball, you can take the oportunity to hit hard the...

Of course you're not going to use Togekiss to deal with those guys. You'll switch out if possible, but many times you have no way around it or simply you need to remove that threat to your team. IMO "Might not even be able to beat" sometimes is better than "not be able to beat". In this Gen I've...

Yeah, I'm aware that giving up Leftovers and Roost is a big deal (used to play Paraflich on 4th Gen). The set is focused in eating up damage from physical AND special attacks, paralyze and then/or punish (something the leftovers set cant accomplish at the same time). AV gives Togekiss the bulk...

Secret Power in Buildings have 30% paralysis chance. Togekiss can make it 60% with Serene Grace. Just an option to point out. SP and Body Slam got the same chance to paralyze, but BS is unavailable at the moment and hard to obtain.

I think Secret Power is a good option to run in a paraflich set. In Buildings it have a 30% paralysis rate (60% with Serene Grace). It's a good replacement for Body Slam that is currently unavailable and for a lot of people is imposible to obtain. I posted a set I'm testing in the...

Togekiss@Assault Vest Ability: Serene Grace EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SpA Bold/Modest Nature - Air Slash - Fire Blast - Dazzling Gleam/Shadow Ball - Secret Power The idea of this set is keeping the paraflinch strategy while having an Assault Vest. Secret Power on Buildings have 30% paralyze rate...
