Can Vaporeon be a special tank? As in, being able to take special hits, and give fairly good ones back? I'm thinking of this set for a special tank Vaporeon. Vaporeon@Lum Berry Water Absorb Calm 80 HP, 176 Sp.Atk, 252 Sp.Def Water Absorb -Scald -Ice Beam -Wish -Protect I know it might be a...

It's still the best special attacking ghost, with much needed moves like thunder bolt, energy ball, and focus blast.

I know this is a sketchy idea, perhaps. But, perhaps lickilicky can take advantage of its bulk, and invest some EV's into sp.def and defense, but also have curse? Then be a physical attacker with great defenses. With the elemental punches from Gen 4, Earthquake, Rock Slide, and Power Whip in its...

Ferrothorn@Occa Berry Ability: Iron Barbs Nature: Sassy IV's: 31/x/31/x/31/x EV's: 252 HP, 128 Def, 128 Sp.Def -Power Whip -Payback -Stealth Rock -Leech Seed The obvious lead. Ferrothorn's defense stats of 252 HP, 330 Defense, and 330 Sp.Def accompanied by it's steel type make it the perfect...

I've edited my OP. And I'll consider Darmanitan. The thing's got insane power... but it adds another rock weakness to my team, and Ferrothorn is the only Pokemon on this team that resists rock. And I don't want another Pokemon that suffers from choice-item syndrome. Having to switch out into...

Ferrothorn@Rocky Helmet Ability: Iron Barbs Nature: Sassy IV's: 31/x/31/x/31/x EV's: 252 HP, 128 Def, 128 Sp.Def - Power Whip - Gyro Ball - Leech Seed - Spikes Ferrothorn is my official lead. Inheriting Spikes and Leech Seed via breeding, Plus two weaknesses that I can easily cover with other...

How could I forget Salamence... yeah, Dragon Dance would take care of any speed issues, too.

Speed boosts from Choice Scarf can be a seriously threatening issue, so Bullet Punch with Scizor is better than relying on Garchomp's 102 speed stat, even if it's great, Garchomp can still have a broken sub from Aerodactyl, Starmie, Froslass, and the like. Scizor has 9 resistances too, so he...

Strong Pokemon that can take on strong bug moves, eh? Yeah, that would be wise, Garchomp is great as a backup, but he'd never take a STAB megahorn from Heracross. Should I use a tank, something that can take and deliver strong attacks, or a sweeper who can just come in for a quick KO? Maybe I...

Yeah...thanks, Peterko. With defenses like that, Latias is sure to excel. And it turns out I have an Uxie with a calm nature (I found it laying around in my PC) so I EV'd it, and it's got 169 in both defenses, and 179 in HP, while on level 50. With the usual setup, but this time, I've got...

A speed stat of 204 would be excellent, but the only major threats that have base speed higher than Latias would be Weavile and Aerodactyl, and I've already found I'll outspeed a jolly, max IV'd aerodactyl's speed stat of 200 when at level 50. So maybe I could give Latias a few less EV's to make...

As a trick lead, would a Latias with these IV's and a careful nature be okay? HP: 3 Attack: 16 Defense: 6 Sp.Atk: 11 Sp.Def: 18 Speed: 18 With max Speed EV's, It's speed will be 155 at level 50. It's Sp.Def would be 158 without any EV's at all, and maybe charm could cover up it's poor...

Okay, so I should just set my timer for 6 minutes and .013 seconds (that has the frame I want) and interact with the legendary I want (in my case Registeel) when that time has been reached? and that'll give me the spread I want?

For the different spreads already shown in the Emerald RNG guide, that show their frames, could I just pick up the pokemon I want by that spread when the frame hits that number, no SID or anything required? (for method 1)
