Great thx. I can trade in about an hour.

That's cool, I just caught it in a Great Ball. Now learning some tutor moves, will make sure it is on gen 6 when you're ready to trade.

What's your IGN?

So, haven't been able to contact you earlier. I'm home now and will be for the next few hours, the Articuno is on my 6th gen game and ready to be received. FC is in my signature.

Already got it from your page cuz no sig in prof comments. Great you can trade now. I'm going on.

I've added your FC and am online. You're not showing up, have you not added me?

Oh duh. Few hours...a few hours ago. Lol. Just tell me when you're on:P

Do you think you could get me the first one insted/ as well? I wanna use Freeze-Dry, and I can't have the maximum SpA stat at level 50 with an IV of 30.

dude just use 248 SpA, it's just one point off... plus then you have flawless HP Ground incase you need that for Magneton

Hmm...ok. I guess this spread is fine. Just hope Buckert can then do it. That said...do you think 0 Atk insted of 14 is worth the 30 SpA and SpD? Yes there's also HP Ground, but I already have Rest/ Sleep Talk/ Sheer Cold/ Freeze-Dry for moves, so I can't fit it on. Also, why 248 SpA? So that just with HP Ground? I don't see the point to that much a SpA investment with just FD.

I'm home now, got that articuno on my 6th gen game so I only need to clone it. But just do some calculations for the Sp.Atk and the difference between 0 and 14

I think I want the 14 Atk one if that's ok. The difference in Foul Play damage isn't huge, and that move is very rare KC, which is probably the only place I'm gonna use this Articuno. I thinking 252 HP/ 180 Def/ 68 SpA/ 4 Spe to barely 2HKO 252/0 Slowbro, and have as much physical bulk as possible with the leftover EVs and 4 Spe to creep.

Like I said, I already caught it..

But then why'd you ask me to calc for the diff. between 14 and 0 Atk..?

Anyways, doesn't really matter. 30 SpA IV just means I'll add that extra 4 to SpA instead of speed creeping.

I can trade like right now or in 7 hrs or so.

I'll be on in a minute or 2. FC is in my signature.

Ok, I'll be on I'm a few min too. FC is in my sig as well

Thx, I should be able to Patricipate in the comp now(and I mean with a chance of actually doing good, not just entering to get the DNite.)

Nice, well best of luck dude!

Omastar; if you play around on the teambuilder you'll notice that at level 50 if you have an IV of 30, 248 and 252 will give the exact same stat, which is one point less than what an IV of 31 with 252 gives. And losing one point in SpA isn't so bad at all (especially when someone is doing you a massive favour like this)
