What's the recommended EV distribution for Magnezone as a purely Special-user?

Moveset like:
Thunderbolt
HP Ice/Grass
Substitute
Thunder Wave/Flash Cannon

With that sort of moveset, I would feel inclined just to go Special Attack and Speed all the way. Look for notable Speed milestones. If there is one you feel you should reach that doesn't involve max, then put the rest into HP.
 
I'm currently breeding a Tangela with 31 IV in HP and Ditto with 31 IV in SP DEF. Should I continue [since my chances are 1/40] so I'll be able to try to get: 31/x/x/x/31/x + x/x/31/x/x/x = 0.295% = 1:340

Or simply forget about the SP DEF and go for the DEF.
 
Klutz is the only reason people use Lopunny, since it can Switcheroo stuff like Lagging Tail or Iron Ball onto the opponent. Switcheroo is an Egg move, so make sure your Bunearys have it.
no what i ment is i restarted my game and im in eterna forest catching bunneary's(im not breeding them) i need to know a good ability for it.

I'd forget about Sp Def, but that's because I'm lazy, and Tangrowth won't be staying in on many special attacks anyway. He's just a physical wall, so focus on the Def.
 
what's better for my arcanine, flash fire or intimidate? i got a forretress on my team who's really good at baiting fire attacks but i dont have any other pokes on my team that can intimidate.
 
What is the formula for choice scarf? How much speed does it add? I am assuming it is some percentage of original speed.
 
Sing is used to sleep the opponent, and is considered by some to be better than Thunder Wave, due to Electivire's ability to speed up when hit by Electric attacks. It also is able to affect things like Garchomp, disabling them when Thunder Wave could not. No Pokémon bar STalkers like to be asleep, while some Pokémon are fine with Paralysis. There are some disadvantages to this, such as the aformentioned poor accuracy, Sleep Clause, and STalkers, but there are also disadvantages to Paralysis, and it seems to come down to personal choice. Don't quote me on that though.

Intimidate is generally better on Arcanine, though if you want to bait Fire moves with Forretress, that's fine, though you might want to run Sunny Day as well for massive Fire damage.

I believe Choice Scarf multiplies Speed by 50%, equal to one stat boost. I'm not certain however.
 
@adman2
Right, just checking.

So why does Blissey have Sing? 55% is some nasty accuracy.

SePhBliss has Sing since Thunder Wave is Electivire's best friend (as well as a free switch in for Ground types, which are common in D/P)

KLUTZ IS A GOOD ABILITY WITH SNEAK. It has been answered.

Thank you, Sanjay. You've been extremely helpful lately. So - by their defenses being a bit off, can that be rectified through changing the EVs or do I need a particular Pokemon to cover them?

sanjay >> Sanjay kthx. Caps look weird. I'd use Giratina or Lugia for defenses. Keep the EVs for Lucario/Mewtwo on the offensive.
 
Emerald tutor most likely. Serebii is being stupid and not listing those in the DP dex.

Haku: Klutz makes Lopunny not use any items. You can stick a Lagging Tail/CB/CS on it, Switcheroo it (sorry put it as sneak) which switches items to the opponent. Lopunny isn't hindered by the item, but the opponent is.
