Okay the priority users I have are scizor Breloom weavile, and dragonite. The only reason why I didn't put theses pokes on before was because this is not the rmt forum. If I needed help on one of my teams, without making a big shiny rmt for it what is the best thread for me?
Go here if you're want general information about team building. Some of it is overly basic, but over times it can be helpful in what you should use and not use. Don't post asking for help with your team, read the thread, it should give you a better understanding of fixing up minor problems.
There really isn't one. Rather, all of these things should be spread over the entire team. Stall doesn't run defensive "cores"; rather, the entire team (with the possible exception of a cleanup / revenge killer Pokemon) needs to function as a huge defensive core.
You'd be far too hardpressed to find that in 3 pokemon, that's more of a structure for an entire team. There may be some combination of 3 mons out there that fit that criteria, but you'd likely end up compromising on other key things, such as pokemon viability. A better plan would be to build your entire team with the goal of good team synergy, checking and countering a majority of threats in the metagame, spinning, hazards, phazing, etc.
I believe that the chance of a critical hit on any given turn is 6.25% with a normal move. I know for a fact that the chance of getting a critical hit does not increase after time. HOWEVER because of how probability works, over time, you have more of a chance of getting a critical hit, hence the term "begging the crit." What I mean is, on any given turn you have a 6.25% chance, but the probability of going five turns with no critical hit is 72.42% because EVERY turn you have 93.75% chance of not getting a crit. So that's probably what people meant when they said it increases with time.
It copies the dual typing so if you copy ferrothorn you will be steel/grass.
You take more damage from rocks if your HP is divisible by 8 (or 4 or 2, depending on how weak to rock they are), you take more damage from Sandstorm if your HP is divisible by 16, etc. So, although it's not always the best idea to go far out of your way to get Life Orb numbers, they're still beneficial, and there are no cons about them.
Well... none of these seem particularly able to deal with Volcarona, except for Dragonite if Volcarona lacks HP Rock. Volcarona is a pretty big threat, which may require a scarfer to beat if it gets the chance to set up. Perhaps scarf Terrakion could work?
Serene Grace + Iron Head + King's Rock gives you a 64% flinch chance, that's only 4% higher than Serene Grace + Iron head. So you should never use King's Rock unless it's on a pokemon with Skill Link and a multi-hit move, eg. Cloyster's Icicle Spear has a 41% flinch chance. I'm not a big fan of SmashPass, but I know that Jirachi is one of the best recipients out there :)
It's either a glitch or Game Freak is on to us Haxers O.o
Jirachi is an excellent smash pass receiver due to it resisting E-Speed and Ice Shard and being neutral to Vacuum Wave, Mach Punch, and Sucker Punch.MR.EON said:
Thanks for the replies. However, on the physical set posted here, how can I get past Heatran? On the special set, I can see Thunder doing something. Also, what purpose does Body Slam serve on recipient Jirachi since its getting a +2 speed boost anyway?
By using Drain Punch instead of Body Slam and you should use Thunderbolt instead of Fire/Ice Punch with a mixed EV spread, to deal with Jellicent, Skarmory easier.
Don't even bother with metal coat, the boost is just not worth it. If anything go with expert belt or even life orb.
Smash pass Jirachi shouldn't be primarily physical or special, but mixed. Here's an rmt that uses smash pass and it has a good jirachi set.http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3467482
Shit went down.
So a lot has happened. You can check you this article. As for bans: Genesect, Tornadus-T, and just recently Deoxys-Defense and Kyurem-Black fell to OU. I would look in the OU Viability thread and see the top threats and just to battle and get a feel for the metagame now.
