Accoording to Bulbapedia Flying Press hits Grass, Fighting, Ice, Dark and Normal for supereffective damage. And it has a base power of 80. And on this set it is safer than Acrobatics since Sash does not always break. HJK lets you hit Steel and Rock too and Poison Jab covers Fairies.

Dunno if anyone thought about this set before: Hawlucha: Ability: Unburden Nature: Adamant Item: Focus Sash Moves: Flying Press Swords Dance Poison Jab/HJK/Acrobatics Poison Jab/HJK/Acrobatics So the idea is: you get much more free with setting up a SD, because you will not be OHKOed. If...

A quick question? How come Gengar is so popular while Alakazam is faster? Is not Gengar outclassed by Alakazam then?

I see your point but what can outspeed a Modest Greninja with 252 Speed EVs? As far as I know it is scarfers or megas only, out of the things in OU. Oh, and a Timid Keldeo as someone said. But Keldeo is not a pokemon you can breed until you have the right nature, you pretty much have to stick...

What about this: Chesnaught@Leftovers EVs: 252 Def, 252 HP, 4 Atk Nature: Adamant Moves: Seed Bomb Hammer Arm Spiky Sheild Pain Split Now this Physical defensive Chesnaught can easily take a hit or two and then recover using Pain Split. Thats the thought anyways. I have used this to take...

Now I am a huge newb so I am probably wrong here but does not Greninja have pretty low Sp.Atk stat for a sweeper? But it has like base speed 120 or something(I believe)so would not Modest be better than Timid to invest in its power?

Im gonna be the best Palpitoad!
