Ah, thank you for keeping track, and for everything.

Don't think I've got anything too spectacular but let's see, All female. Pumpkaboo, Luxury Ball, Careful, Pickup, 31/31/x/x/31/31, Bestow. It's Normal sized and the setup is from me working out a deoxys catching strategy for someone. Bred on my omega ruby (OT: 8 female symbols, lol) Marill, Heal...

Yep, though now I think about it, if you could do one more Froakie copy on top of that, so I can keep one sitting around when this one evolves that'd be stellar. Is there anything off that list you do want though, because they're kinda sitting around doing nothing and I've got to send you five...

I don't know what is/isn't fair tbh but that sounds good, I'd need you to clone the Snivy, yeah. I assume you'd prefer the vain one right (seems to fit better)? Now I think about it, I also have a shiny timid protean froakie (nothing that special, 31 HP/SpDef and probably some 30's as I was...

Hey, I'm interested in a couple of Diancies (one for me, one for my little sister). I've got some stuff I bred pre-pokebank (having caught a 31/31/31/31/x/31 timid ditto) and some more recent things from ORAS. May be able to breed some other things if they don't cut it, but these are what I've...

That makes sense, perhaps the analysis should state that, though I still think something not weak to one of the other major attacks greninja has (i.e. stuff on set + Grass Knot/Extrasensory) would be a better example to use than starmie - one of the more popular ghosts that Dark Pulse handles...

This mentions Dark Pulse as a "reliable secondary stab" and says it's for starmie. The first part strikes me as odd given Protean, whereas for the second part, Grass Knot hits starmie for the same base power (both being OHKO's on standard offensive spin starmie) as well as providing SE coverage...

Oh right, my bad. Thanks for letting me know. Why I didn't just use the burn option, I don't know. I'll get to fixing the calcs in my post now. EDIT: Done. Still, if you're running 252/252+ you're at best going to speed tie unless they haven't stuck the spare 4 EV's or more into speed (plus...

I'd suggest finding another way to deal with ferro, as superpowers drops are rather costly especially to cover just two pokemon - ferrothorn and empoleon being the only two fully evolved pokemon that resist Water and Fairy (unless I've missed an ability on something else), as a neutral +6...

+6 252+ Atk Huge Power Azumarill Waterfall vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Vileplume: 254-299 (71.75 - 84.46%) -- guaranteed 2HKO Aqua Jet: 35.87 - 42.37% - This is a guaranteed 2HKO even with Black Sludge/Lefties You'd only check it, and even then if they have 252HP + Sitrus (prevents a OHKO from Sludge...

If you're holding off for the BD opportunity Superpower really only hurts Ferrothorn more than Waterfall which is still a 2HKO or thereabouts if I recall the calcs people did correctly. Water/Fairy has great coverage and that coverage isn't significantly improved by fighting (Empoleon and...

I'm really torn on what ability to run (and breed for in-game) on Noivern. I really like the idea of Frisk with Switcheroo and Choice Specs, for scouting and general utility/mostly safe crippling of stuff, but on the other hand Infiltrator Flamethrower/Draco Meteor could be very useful against a...

RE: Including it in the OP: There's no point leaving it out of the OP, given how often people are running into it and complaining about it. Obviously the whole "luck based/unreliable" thing is just a matter of objectivity, but might I suggest compiling a list (or whatever) of viable counters to...

If Sticky Web is only really useful lategame, is there any real need to set it up with a lead rather than perhaps setting it up midgame? That gives you the opportunity to deal with any spinners/defoggers if you use an SR lead or whatever to bring them out and whatever the norm is for dispatching...

I just want to see calcs on whether gyara and various other sweepers can take a hit from foul play's alternatives (crunch, rough play, sucker punch - though sucker punch has its usual downsides). Basically, I'm just questioning, as others have, whether foul play is actually necessary - as while...

... And promptly get wrecked by the Gale Wings Talonflame everyone seems to be carrying at the moment. Anyway, personally I am finding Mega Mawile a lot more useful in a similar role to Aegislash, it's slightly less bulky, sure, but as both have such poor HP stats I guess I'm not really...

You have to keep in mind that there's a pretty even chance of you being sticky webbed too, plus with defog now clearing entry hazards I would not rely on having it up (especially given its distribution).

I'm not sure exactly how 80 ATK, even with Priority, is less dependent on boosting than 135SpA and 100 Spe, myself. As for roost as recovery, I would question exactly how many opportunities you're going to have to have a 70/70/70 Fire type recover 50% of its health and not immediately lose 70%...
