im trying to decide on a nature for my lucario. i was thinking either timid or modest. if i go modest i have great sp.Attack power but lower speed. vis-versa if i go timid. plz help.
lucario@ focus Sash
modest/timid
evs-252sp.attack/speed, 6hp
inner focus
dark pulse
dragon pulse
aura sphere
vacuum wave
lucario is my special sweeper. dark pulse for Azelf, Uxie, and other annoying psychics. dragon pulse for dragons. aura sphere for STAB. vacuum wave for weavile and revenge kills. Also should i go with focus sash or focus band on lucario? sash holds the risk of being nullified by stealth rock and spikes, but band doesn't always work. speaking of which how often does focus band activate?
Metagross@lum berry
Adamant
evs-252hp, 240attack, 18 def
clear body
meteor mash
earthquake
brick break???
bullet punch
Metagross is my tank. he can take an earthquake from garchomp and then, if his luck holds out, meteor mash and bullet punch on the next turn for a K.O. brick break is questionable. i may go with Zen headbut for better coverage but idk. earthquake is for other steel types.
togekiss@lefties or lum berry
Modest
evs-252 hp, 100 spd, 152 sp.def
serene grace
air slash
nasty plot
flamethrower
aura sphere
another special sweeper. air slash is very annoying to others because of the 60% flinch rate. aura sphere for rhyperiors and other rock types. flamethrower for skarmory. Nasty plot for the welcome stat boost.
Umbreon@leftovers
Calm/careful
evs- 252 hp, 159sp.def ,89 def
toxic
meanlook
protect
wish
my fantastic toxistaller. wish and protect for immediate healing. i elected not to use baton pass because most of my pokes are sturdy enough to take a hit.
Aerodactyl@choice band/scarf
adamant
evs-252 attack, speed
ice fang
earthquake
rockslide
aerial ace
aerial ace for heracross. ice fang for dragons. earthquake for other rock types. rockslide for flyers. phenomenal speed with choice band could ko many many pokes. However, a choice scarfed garchomp can outrun me so i was thinking of switching to the scarf for extra speed.
Breloom@toxic orb
Jolly
evs-252 attack/speed 6 hp
mach punch
spore
seed bomb
focus punch
breloom is beastly and i love it. mach punch is for speedy ice types(weavile) spore is for 100% sleep accuracy. seed bomb for bulky waters and focus punch after spore for major damage. i went with jolly because my goal is to put the foe to sleep and go from there, but i will usually have to hit first because breloom is so fragile. mach punch and focus punch is redundant i know but it seems neccesary for revenge kills.
Thank you for your time. please help. i know about my ice type weakness but all of the pokes on my team with ice type weakness can trump ice types (i.e. aerodactyl-rockslide, breloom-mach punch, togekiss- aura sphere)
It has also come to my attention that i should maybe switch my umbreon for a swampert so i can stop ice sharders such as mamoswine. i was thinking of just using a smogon set.
