252 HP 252 Attack 4 Sp.Def Adamant
Hold Item: Assault Vest
Stone Edge
Crunch
Pursuit
Earthquake
Due to self induced Sandstorm, and the Assault Vest Item that boosts sp.def, Tyranitar effectively has doubled his already impressive defenses, and cannot be 2OHKO’d by anything except for a super effective focus blast.
Beats every special attacker in the current metagame hands down, including any ghost Pokemon, Latias and Latios.
For reference, a critical hit hydro pump from Starmie only does 50% damage. Basically he’s Chansey 2.0 because he can fight back.
EVs may need tweaking for Aegislashes that have invested some EVs in speed.
Also Mega Venusaur is the best Mega imo, he’s an excellent lead because not only does he lack weaknesses but he can put something to sleep after tanking a hit.
252 HP 252 Sp. Attack 4 Def Modest Nature
Hidden Power Fire
Sleep Powder
Sludge Bomb
Giga Drain
His functionality ranges from water Pokemon and Rotom-W to fairy killer, to Aegislash Killer. Also directly counters most steel pokemon due to his defenses and hidden power fire. Loses to Talonflame unless he puts him to sleep.
Sleep Powder goes through King’s Shield and Aegislash immediately goes to sword mode if he attacks even while still asleep.
King’s Shield only protects you from attacking moves as far as I know.
That happened to a guy I was facing a while back. He went for Sleep Powder and misses 5 times with his Venusaur while I set up Quiver Dances, forgetting he already put one of my other Pokes to sleep. Sleep Powder failed once it finally hit, I was at +6, I killed the Venusaur, and he forfeit.
My team is almost complete, but I’ll have it done in a couple days, I contact before then.
I know status moves bypass King’s Shield, I didn’t know that Aegislash could go into attack mode while Sleeping. So if someone thinks they can attack with a wakeup (lol) Shadowsneak and stays asleep on that turn while their offensive and defensive stats have switched, you can KO them easily on that turn.
Dometopia, I’ve added your FC. I’m free all day tomorrow, whenever you wanna play our match, just PM here or send a battle invite in-game, as I’ll probably be on my 3DS all day anyway, lol.
Remember how I said I was sure Nintendo thought of something for hacked Pre 6th Gem mons and some were hoping they would screw up on that? You may want to start kissing those mons goodbye.
I concur. If you have to got to the lengths that the engineer who built the Shiny Catching Device has to, not many people are going to go that far, and for the few that do I’m doubt they’re going to flood Wonder Trade with millions of hackmons for us to enjoy.
I honestly am not too concerned. I’ve been an avid breeder ever since G/S/C, and GameFreak has made breeding infinitely easier now-- I can breed nearly flawless mons in a fraction of the time it used to take me to get just three flawless IVs and totally flawless only takes a little bit more time.
I know there are some folks who obsess over having perfect mons and that’s fine, but they really overstate how much of an influence IVs have over your final stats outside of HP and Speed*(the only really important ones, imo)*
