Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I stopped reading when you just left Altaria in. The burn didn't cripple it at all... she has natural cure. You could have just switched her out and she would have still been perfectly viable.
This wasn't the only misplay either, but I dunno... this one just really hurt my feelings.
I think he's just telling you to go all out one way or another with your Gyarados. Either go all out sweeper with max attack and life orb or go bulky with the appropriate EV spread and leftovers.
EDIT: this is referring to the first reply you got to which you responded so condescendingly.
I somehow REALLY liked the boxing one. I feel like it fits the spread well.
I also voted for the scarecrow and the marionette, but on second thought, they really don't fit with the spread of bulky and slow.
KoA's mummy one I also like, but not nearly as much as the boxer.
I seem to remember seeing someone using a set that was fairly effective that went something like:
Sucker Punch
Focus Punch
Substitute
Swords Dance
Or something similar, I don't really remember.
Repost from the old thread, at this point I've pretty much decided to go with Gunk Shot and Payback, but any comments would be helpful:
I was just browsing the Blisscents rankings looking for an alternative special wall and I came across Muk.

I was just browsing the Blisscents rankings looking for an alternative special wall and I came across Muk.
I never realized that he had such high stats, so I decided to try and make a special walling set for him. The main problem I ran into is that he doesn't have much in the way of support...
Thanks, but if I do that I lose Subseeding since well.. I don't have sub anymore. So I was also thinking of just not using Leech Seed at all and having Encore instead? That way I can force more switches and paralyse more people?
Damn you 4 moveslot syndrome!
What would a double status Jumpluff's moveset look like?
Knowing that what it does best is Subseed, I'd prefer not to lose that, so would Stun Spore/Sleep Powder/Substitute/Leech Seed be viable? Or is it highly suggested that I have an attacking move? In which case I guess I'd drop Subseed and...
On Wifi I only had my Bulky Ninetales left (I think the moveset was something like Rest/Hypnosis/Energy Ball/Fire Blast) and my opponent only had SkarmBliss. Because he knew that Blissey would run out of PP before my Ninetales, he had to keep swithing Skarm in and out and trying to avoid the...
What I meant about the Weavile comment is that 'Zone is THE Skarm counter, so even next time you shouldn't leave Weavile out at all. Switch to 'Zone immediately. You'll trap Skarm (if it isn't holding shed shell) and you'll OHKO with Thunderbolt. No need to weaken it with Weavile.
Anyway, sorry...
I plan on using a purely support Hariyama with a moveset that will look something like Knock Off/Whirlwind/Force Palm (for the Paralysis chance)/Fake Out or Bullet Punch
And the EVs suggested in the Analysis for the Knock Off Hariyama are the following: 76 HP/180 Atk/252 Def. (the set listed...
