Following interest in the Wind Lugia, I’ve been able to get my hands on a set of codes for the Scrap Manaphy, Meloetta and Hoopa. Unfortunately, they expire today.
I’ve pretty much managed to get a 31/0/31/30/31/30 Timid Manaphy, and I don’t have a Timid Hoopa yet so I’m pretty happy with those choices.
I’m stuck with what to do with Meloetta. I’ve got a Timid one, and a straight Modest Nautire seems a little uninventive. I’ve seen that Naive is high in the OU stats but I feel it’s lack of viability hurts it. Any recommendations for a Nature/HP combination?
Timid + HP Ice would be the obvious, boring choice, since it learns T-bolt (or Charge Beam for the lulz), but IMO Hidden Power is a waste of Serene Grace.
A Naive nature would be the way to go for a Pirouette set (Relic Song + Close Combat + Return/Secret Power + Knock Off or an Elemental Punch or
Zen Butt Zen Headbutt for the 40% flinch), but that's even less viable because
GF refuses to play test their gimmick pokemon it's basically Mega Lopunny but worse ~80% of the time
Heh, with regular Meloetta being more or less a poor man's Mega Gardevoir and Piroetta a poor man's Mega Lopunny, plus the Secret Power + Zen Headbutt Piroetta set I just pulled out of my Zen Butt that is a poor man's Paraflincher; instead of events Meloetta should be distributed together with government Welfare checks.
