Since my question got ignored the first time, hopefully I can get a response this time. Could someone please recommend me a good bulky EV spread for a Choice Band Scizor in OU? There are no alternate EV spreads listed in Scizor's analysis page for OU.

An alternate one (one with more Special Defense) is 160 HP / 176 Atk / 168 SpD / 4 Spe. I forget what they exactly achieve, but it had something to do with Draco Meteor and Surf probably.
 
I was wondering about pokemon who evolve by trade. Do they evolve when they get to the recipient, or when they get back to the original owner? And where can I find a good person to trade with, because I don't want to trade with some random strange and have them steal my poke?
 
They evolve as soon as you recieve them, or, you can just go onto wifi, deposit them, and just pick them up again and they will evolve iirc. Otherise, just go to simple requests thread in Wifi
 
Pick a Milotic for me!
386 HP/282 Defense/263 Special Attack/286 Special Defense/198 Speed

394 HP/195 Defense/236 Special Attack/383 Special Defense/198 Speed (Utilizes Rest to get a 292 Defense)
 
Noted, okay--the second one is one I've been testing... it can take a SpecsJolteon's thunderbolt and 2HKO with Surf (if Jolteon switched in).

Also, does Mirror Coat Milotic want Bold or Calm nature?
 
hummm....well i dont know for sure, with calm you can take even more powerful special moves and counter back, but the enemy will try to use physical moves once he find out you got mirror coat....hard choice, i would pick bold myself though. i guess its up to personal preference on this one.

Just for calculation's sake I used a 252 SpA 4 Sp Def Timid Specs Jolteon vs a 252 SpA 252 Sp Def Calm Milotic.

Jolteon does 51.4% - 61.6% to Milotic with Specs boosted STAB Thunderbolt (not even guaranteed 2HKO with leftovers).

Milotic does 49.8% - 59% to Jolteon with unboosted STAB Surf(very high chance to 2HKO).

So it's definitely possible. You will need to adjust the EVs accordingly for what you want it to do otherwise though.

Also, I would use Calm for Mirror Coat. It deals less damage, but can also survive stronger hits.
 
humm....why not? i was never good with damage calculations anyway, can this take a specs latias t-bolt? if it can then it should work fine, if not then you put put some more evs into special defense or just change calm nature and keep the evs i think. with max defense a calm nature should work better i guess, you get more points out of a calm nature too, and in OU you need all the...bulkness you can get.
 
What kind of damage can a Salamence with 276 special attack inflict when it uses a base 120 attack like Fire Blast or a base 140 attack like Draco Meteor?

Is that really enough power to 2HKO most pokemon that would be hit by said special attacks? 405 Attack obviously is very good to hit a lot of things hard but that special attack seems awfully low.

If I change my EVs around and lower attack to 359 and increase special attack to 319 would that be better on both offenses?

Draco Meteor will probably 2HKO everything not named Blissey or resists it. Even with that low Sp.Atk. Stab +140 base is devastating.
Mixed attacking Salamence are generally preferred, I'd probably go that route as well, though, I'm not a Salamence expert D:
 
Here's a simple quick question(its about PBR Wi-fi battles/3 Pokemon only battles):

Is Stealth Rock even worth considering in 3 Pokemon only battles?

I do most of my battling through PBR Wi-fi and I have Heatran with SR but I rarely even get to set up.Its usually just a BOOM-BOOM-GONE battle.I built my team for a long battle(w/ 6 Pokemon) but now I'm wondering if its good for Wi-fi.

So,is SR any good for these quick battles?
 
SR is mostly only useful for switches, the larger the party the more likely your opponent will switch their pokemon around in order to counter an attack of yours.

3 party battles have very little switches however, SR and other entry hazards aren't very effective in such matches.
 
That's what I noticed and most Pokemon I face anyway have something to screw up Heatran with.Just a waste of a moveslot then.

Thanks for the input.:D I'm gonna have to build a normal and a Wi-fi team now but I've been meaning to build a new one anyways.
 
According to my PBR experience, stealth rock is useful in 3vs3 battles only to break focus sashes. Lots of people use teams with 2-3 focus sash users on PBR and SR completely ruins those, especially if you use a set up sweeper.
 
What are the minimum number of EVs necessary for Tyranitar's Atk stat to gaurentee a OHKO Blissey with Superpower, assuming that Tyranitar is unboosted, and running a neutral Atk nature, and Blissey is running 252 HP/252 Def, and a Bold nature, and without ST/Sandstorm damage.
 
are you COMPLETELY sure about that? not only max max bold bliss is rare, but i am pretty sure that a neutral nature no atack evs life orb boosted superpower from t-tar can kill the standard bliss in 1 shot after SR.
 
you can check it by yourself. A neutral, 0 Atk EVs TTar, holding a LO, using superpower against a max HP\Def bold Blissey does 73.1% - 86.3%. You need the life orb boost and at least 248 Atk EVs, with a neutral nature, to ensure the KO after SR (88% - 103.6%). Sandstream may finish her off in most cases but if she manages to status you you might have a permanently crippled TTar.
 
damn, that fat bitch never die! also since it look like my question got ignored i am going to ask again:

is shoddy battle 2 still being worked on it or they gave up the idea?
 
oh cool, thanks, i was starting to think he just gave up the idea, i dont care a lot about the release date, has long he continue to make make the 2.0 version of the best battle simulator out there then i am happy.
