What would be a good nature for Piplup?
Modest, Jolly, Bold are the popular ones… What movers are you using/what role will it play on your team?
Depends on the set
Hey guys I’m pretty new to Pokemon here. The last one I payed before x and y was red version, but I started to get back into it. Ive been messing around with a team for double battle bi understand ev training but have no idea what ivs are our even how to get food ivs on your pokes. Can someone help me out
just a run through of ivs and evs
Can I get one of those shiny 6iv jap Dittos? I don’t really have anything too significant, but if you want, I can breed you a larvesta, gible, or luvdisc
how does focus blast/punch work in a trick room situation does it charge and go immediately or trick room doesn’t apply to it?
Can someone help me improve my team its
Gavantula, Klefki, Conkeldurr, Mega Gardevoir, Bisharp, Greninja
that team feels so…random, what is it trying to do?
Thats the problem im still very new
you don’t need galvantula on the team, only gardevoir benefits from it truly, maybe bisharp but he’s too slow to make it be really effective and greninja doesn’t really care
conk actually wants the opponent to be faster and klefki is klefki, i’d suggest replacing galvantula with mamoswine if you want a suicide hazard lead, you team wants the SR (especially greninja) to nab those KOs way easier while also making dragonite much, much easier
i’m going to assume you’re using dual screens klefki as that would have much more synergy with your team than the terrible swagplay klefki
sableye also works wonderfully in this spot and also has great synergy with the team
the rest of the team should be fine, you got your bulky offensive duo and your late game sweeper duo
it would also be much more helpful if you posted your movesets and EV spreads, you can use www.pokemonshowdown.com to make it easier to show it (it’s real simple to use and great for testing out teams)
Thanks for the input. So something like this would be good

Don’t give Bisharp a Dread Plate, give him Blackglasses. Bitches love the Blackglasses.
use knock off over night slash, knock off is ridiculously good this gen, if not, use anything over night slash (like a fighting move) and use a life orb if possible
don’t use earthquake on conkeldurr, it don’t provide much coverage compared to what you already have with your fighting moves and is a wasted slot, if possible, use thunder/ice punch but since that doesn’t seem like an option use stone edge
don’t use scald on greninja, he’s not bulky enough to make good use of it, use hydro pump or surf, he wants to dish out as much damage as possible, it seems fine otherwise, you can also use u-turn over grass knot but that’s up to you
on gardevoir, if you can get hyper voice on it do so and i’d suggest this spread (i gave this one to saitsu and he loved it):
Gardevoir @ Gardevoirite
Pixelate / Bold
252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SpD
Calm Mind
Hyper Voice
Psyshock
Will-O-Wisp
not much likes taking hyper voice, even if resisted, wisp is there so you can screw over physical attackers, spread is for max physical bulk, and you still keep your calm mind set
on mamoswine, use icicle crash over avalanche
Alright, Im not liking klefki i might just go back and reuse my sableye
you can also use klefki to set up spikes if you want but i do think sableye will have much more use on the team
priority taunt is too good
Thanks for all the advice i wish i could get hyper voice on gardevoir but i dont think it can have it on the copy with out bank
fuck you pokebank…seriously
and fuck tutor moves as well, too much hassle
moonblast will work but hyper voice just makes the set sooooooooo much better, god damnit trollfreak
I know it makes me sad as hell, i wish they would just patch some tutors in or something
wow i didnt know that Knock off was a tutor only move for bisharp
