Vice-versa, flying-types are Ice-weak. And since when is Pidgeot (let alone Pidgeotto!) a common Pokemon in OU?

I had to realise Psychic doesn't give Gengar much of coverage, either use Shadow Ball/Focus Blast/Hypnosis/TB or go SubPunch.
 
HP Fire, but take in considiration you'll have to use 30Spe IVs.
If your'e considering Alakazam and Gengar, try out these sets:

@Leftovers
252SpA/6SpD/252Spe
Timid nature, Synchronize trait
~Taunt
~Calm Mind
~Psychic
~Focus Blast

Spr_4h_094.png
@Life Orb
252SpA/6SpD/252Spe
Timid nature
~Shadow Ball
~Focus Blast
~Hypnosis
~Thunderbolt

Psychic works on SpecsGar, but Hypnosis is better on the LO set to trigger more switches.
 
Hey people. I just have a simple question. How does shoddy battle work? do you have to calculate the damage or does it do that for you? just wondering. thanks

can gangar use fire blast?

No, but Gengar can opt for HP Fire with trade-off of having 349 speed. And that works best if Gengar has Protect/Substitute to go along with it.

does alakazam have a way to deal with bugs?

Only HP Fire/HP Rock. Things like Scizor/Forretress gets dealt with HP Fire, but Scizor will absolutely butcher Alakazam with Bullet Punch. HP Rock could work on Yanmega and Scyther, but the former has speed boost and the latter has quick attack.

Alakazam is pretty damn frail :/

Shoddy Battle does all the calculation for you.

Once again, must Abomasnow itself lead my Hail team, and if so, who could set-up Rocks insted of an "ordinary" suicide lead?

Abomasnow doesn't always have to lead a Hail team. He is often at a disadvantage as a lead with all those top leads that can do super effective on your Abomasnow, which leaves you having to always switch him out.

As for the Stealth Rock user, I would suggest Bronzong, Forretress, Gliscor, Jirachi, Mamoswine, Skarmory or Swampert. Choosing them depends on what kind of structure your Hail team has.
 
When a choiced pokemon attacks and there is no target are they still locked into the move? I thought theyt were but it just happened on shoddy and they weren't

That's a Shoddy bug.


No, alternate forms won't be usable in wi-fi until the next gen.
