Tapu Koko Shiny has just been announced as a mystery gift.
The Ability it has is Nature's Madness. My main question is what Nature should I go for to match up with this ability?

The shiny Tapu Koko is locked into only having a Timid Nature.
His profile on smogon says timid
Nature's Madness is a move, not an ability.
If I recall correctly the event Koko is also locked into Timid nature.
Just about to make a copule of comments on that. If im not mistaken, its always a timid nature, so that doenst really matter. If you are to go for something, make it hidden powers. They usually run hp ice, but ive seen hp fire on life orb variants.
EDIT: And Divine Retribution beats me to it. oh well.
I would try asking in this thread http://www.smogon.com/forums/thread...op-before-posting.3587245/page-7#post-7397849
as Marshadow has been banned to ubers. Unless this is for use in wifi battles or custom games with friends, in which case i dont know where you'd ask.

Yeah a big group of my friends play and im terrible but i joined smogon hoping to get better. I meant to say with my brother and big group of friends and the occasional free battle not sure how i put that in 2 posts
Ok cool thanks for the advice
One think i would like to mention is that since your running naive, hp ice can be used over ice punch in order to not struggle as much with things such as intimidate and rocky helmet ( so basically lando-t). Back when it was allowed, it was used with life orb over z move, but i imagine z move could work alright with it.
Thats a good idea , yeah ill do that and ill also change poison jab to bulk up like gmars said, that shoulf be good if you think someones going to switch out
Ok cool think im going to make 2 clones and experiment with him and do you want a copy? I can send you a cline if youd like he can be traded now
I understand, my brother does that too the soft resets
Ill give you one you dont have to give me anything, theres nothing i really need right now. ill probably be home in a few hours i could trade you then

From my experience, the offensive Trick Room set is actually pretty decent, and it's a good emergency check for things like Mega Medicham, Mega Lopunny and Mega Pinsir, notably because Mummy removes their abilities which makes them much less threatening. Of course it shouldn't be your main check to these Pokémon as it's an offensive mon and it won't take repeated hits that well, but it is still a nice backup check to those Pokémon while also having the potential to sweep in the right conditions because of Nasty Plot + Trick Room.
Also I don't get why the fact that it's in NU matters; usage =/= viability. Even if it isn't used as much, doesn't mean it's not viable.
Anyways here is the offensive Trick Room set if you need it:
Cofagrigus @ Ghostium Z
Ability: Mummy
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Quiet Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Nasty Plot
- Will-O-Wisp/ Hidden Power Fighting
- Trick Room
After a few month break ive decided to get back into OU. What are some good Mega-Sharpedo cores at the moment? I know there are a couple on the cores thread, but what other ones are there?
