GG @Ninjanuity. I still have work to do… At least I was able to take Excella out, though :rofl:. I need something for my 6th slot. Noivern is filler, but I just might re-roll for a max Spe/SpA one.

Yeah, sorry I can’t fight more, but I’m breeding right now.

I shamefully threw away Gengar and Garchomp like an idiot. I had Azumarill for Blaziken, there was no reason for me to sac Gengar. And I didn’t think you’d go for the obvious Draco with Noivern since Aegislash ate it up last time and set up on it. Only thing I feared from that Noivern was the burn from Flamethrower and you got it, but I was still at +4, no point in switching. Might as well deal as much damage as possible and have Greninja clean up.

apparently, you gain EVs from catching pokemon as well

so watch out for that

That’s why you Super Train the pokes you use immediately.

Or turn off EXP Share until you’re ready to train them… It’s kind of annoying in that regard.

Yea, I had absolutely no answer for that Greninja… Maybe Scizor, had I not let it fall asleep, but I wasn’t confident that I could OHKO Venusaur with Greninja’s Ice Beam. Aegislash takes a lot of effort to bring down. I was really depending on that Burn, as it would sweep otherwise. Great Pokemon lol.

What’s better for Noivern… Infiltrator; that’ll let me ignore moves like Reflect, Light Screen, Safeguard, and Substitute and attack, or Frisk; that’ll reveal the opponent’s held item?

Either or is fine. Frisk makes it a good scout while Infiltrator makes it a good revenger/stall breaker.

But yeah, I do recommend getting one with Max Speed and a +Speed nature if you can (I have Perfect Speed Ditto you can borrow if you need it). Noivern actually outspeeds Greninja by one point (base 123 Speed vs 122 Speed), which was pretty crucial in our previous battles since once I found out my Greninja was faster, I could keep your Noivern in check with Ice Beam every time and not fear the Draco Meteor.

Apparently Boomburst also goes through sub.

So Frisk + Boomburst might be cool.

If I recall correctly, the Shell Smash Skill Link set was stolen from white shadow and then later on became OU, correct me if I’m wrong though lol…

252 HP EVs and EVs divided among speed and special attack modest nature.

I’m sure that would give it the bulk for mega evo if needed.

Bulky Sweeper set, if its outsped, it can switch to superior defenses and tank a hit, and counter with a +2 boosted Giga Drain.

Nasty…

Also can someone test a 252 Def, 252 HP Assault Vest Haxarachi for me?

Idk how it would do, the idea sounds alright, but it might not work in practice

A stupid thought, imagine if Mega Kanga had access to Boomburst.

Just a heads up, anyone interested in a tournament should start getting prepared… Hint hint.

I can honestly say I wasn’t, or I didn’t remember. But I definitely had my Metagross sets discredited… then used after more “elite” members “recreated” it. :bluu:

But I digress, how are people getting multiple items that there are only of in the game like Leftovers? From trades with naive little kids or something?

Battle Mansion I think.

It’s not there. It’s like the only competitive item that place doesn’t sell.

It wouldn’t help much. Kangaskhan’s Sp. Attack still sucks ass even in Mega.

Really? Do any wild Pokemon hold them? Maybe Garbadors?

Misty Terrain is confirmed to half dragon damage.

All sound moves go through sub now. Not just Boomburst.

You can thief leftovers from a poke if I remember correctly.
