tak_29, I have one in my thread with a spread I came up with and a single damage calc.

Scizor is a steel type so make it a good tanker like give it 200 in Def and SpD and give it 56 or 112 in atk or SpA depending of the moveset and have out Synthesis and have a taunt in handy to stop most Toxic or Spikers and nail them with your Offensive moves!

Or you can make it a Full Physical sweeper with X sizcors, Hidden power Water, swords dance and slash. Put your Evs into 200 Sp, 200 atk and 112 or 56 in def and 112 or 56 in SpD depending on which you choose this makes it a great Physical attacker with it's cunning speed that can out run most things and using Swords dance in the first turn and then OKOing everything that cannot resist bug types and hidden power water is for all the Fire types due to it's 4x fire weakness types tho not much of an effect but still helpful!

What!? Special Attack? Synthesis?

Edit: Hidden Power Water? Slash? What the fuck?
 
Yea but I'm asking as in general.. are there any team-building guides to help me out? I'm fairly new to DP team-buildings and I'm just going to go by the "standard?" til I get familiar.

Only a dumb person would be stupid enough to give absulutly no Evs into Atk or SpA unless they have good base stats for those then sure but a Scizor is meant to be a Tanker with some Offense because of it's high base Atk power

How the fuck does a guide to DP ubers battling relate to something like UU?
Granted the roles are similar, but everything else is totally different. (Counters, movesets, Pokemon used)

btw, walls and tankers are almost the same thing:/

klock said:
Wow..what a nice guide.. I assume everything's pretty much the same in UU except with different pokes?=/
Click to expand...
Yes for the most part. UU however has more of a gimmicky factor, but the primary battle roles are the same, albeit with different Pokemon to fill them.

Dont insult people when you dont know what your talking about. Scizor special attack is horrible and you posted a set with a hidden power water. Hidden power is a special attack.

Nor did false ever say anything about putting no evs in either attack. He said
What!? Special Attack? Synthesis?

Edit: Hidden Power Water? Slash? What the fuck?
Click to expand...
Meaning why use special attack when its only a base 55 and its attack is 130. So I dont get what your point was.

Also scizor has better attacks then slash.
 
you can also note that i said either SpA or Atk most people would pick Atk but i was only giving him the other choice i didn't say squat saying he should stick with SpA i gave him a choice obviously he's going for Atk but SpA is also an option so stop Shoving this common sense thing down my throat!

Every poke has a choice of what to use. Why though would you use such horrible special attack instead of attack. So your suggestion was basically pointless. I also never said you did you obviously dont understand what im saying.

Theres the set you suggested which is horrible. Also how is it a full physcial sweeper when it has a special attack.
 
okay then what is your defense against his 4x fire weakness? i guess it's betetr then nothing since he can't learn no water or rock moves and infernape is OU because of it's overal base stats almost 80% of the world at least have one infernape the other may as well have other starters or a complete Uber legendary team

Its called switching out and actually its not better then nothing, since a hidden power water from scizor is going to do less damage to anything then pretty much any physical attack from scizor, even agaisnt fires. Infernape is weak to flying anyways so you could use aerial ace instead.

... wha?
well against a Fire-Type... Scizor would normally have to run... I mean having basically just that one weakness... there has to be a downside to it... or Scizor can stay in and Quick Attack it and hope it can take down the Fire-Type before it gets hit...
and... what? I don't use Infernape or any starter at that nor do I use Ubers...
 
Watever i just posted my opinion you guys can critisize all you want because it's not what you would do or it's not what most people would do but i have theories that you guys keep choking my breath over!

can someone give me a table for catching shiny pokemon because after 10 chains it ends up breaking...

Well maybe you should test your theories first.

I dont know what you mean by table but heres a guide that is bound to make you a good chainer. http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36185
 
Scope lens are banned that is for sure cuz they make pokemon more luck based like a qucik claw no matter how fast the other pokemon is quick claw has a chance of being faster meaning it dramacticly increases speed luck which people say is unfair
 
Mr.Lopunny said:
Simple question
Is Scope Lens considered a Hax item/ Is it banned with the Hax item clause in effect
Click to expand...
actually to my knowledge.. hax items aren't banned... although Brightpowered Substituting Sand Veiling Garchomp might be... luck is just... another part of the game...

thats a mouth-ful but i think people are getting too worked up about players increasing their luck i mean during battle to change the odds of winning tyou must increase your luck but hey i don't write the standerd ruleplay
 
What kind of chain would I need to do to breed both Sand Tomb and Tickle onto a Torterra? I'm guessing it's going to involve smeargle, is it even possible?

If the Original Spread for an Impish Mawile was 252 HP/80 ATK/176 DEF, assuming its ivs were perfect, then

how would I EV my own version?
27/28/28/X/27/25
Click to expand...

Unless the 80ATK or 176DEF hits a number with special significance (IE OHKO certain threats / turn OHKO into 2HKO), you should be fine running the same spread. You obviously won't be able to reach maximum HP with the 27HP IV, but again, unless it has a special significance, it shouldn't be a problem.

If the attack or defense EVs do something important, you'll have to decide which is more important and take EVs from the other (or from HP).

Hope that helps. I'm not very familiar with Mawile or what that spread is supposed to do, but those are some basic guidelines to consider.
