Robinigo Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Curious. Any particular reason for Alakazite instead of Life Orb + Magic Guard + Timid Nature (and put Garchompite on Garchomp instead)? I originally had the Garchompite on Garchomp, but then I looked at Mega Alakazam's Special Attack and Speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon of Sin Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Alakazam may benefit more from Life Orb or Focus Sash + Magic Guard rather than an Alakazite and then stuck with Trace. That and it lets Alakazam not take sandstorm damage while Mega Garchomp has stronger Ground, Rock and Steel moves.

Comet Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Magic guard also avoids life orb damage btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinigo Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 What? No way XD Welp, time to train a new Alakazam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Megazam can check Greninja and outspeed Jolteon, and not outsped by Scarf Ttar Thats pretty much the only clear advantages though. Alakazam hits harder, and has more versatile Item selection. Tracing shenanigans is fun tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) So I'm gonna be building a team per tier (including Little Cup) after I beat the game with my current in game team of Greninja, Charizard, Lucario, Roselia, Lapras and Mawile. I would have picked Bulbasaur usually but I haven't picked Charizard of the original 3 before despite liking it plus X Forme Edited January 21, 2014 by Jedisupersorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinigo Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I appreciate the offer, but I should be alright, thanks again for all the help :) Now to focus all my attention on doing something about the bottom three, I'm thinking Ferrothorn, Mandibuzz, and a new offensive pokemon whose name is not Talonflame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comet Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Maga Houndoom? If it gets a Nasty Plot (or sunny day) up, something's going to die. I use Fire Blast, Dark Pulse, Nasty Plot, and Destiny Bond. EVs are max special attack and enough speed to beat timid Lati@s, with the rest going into special defense.

Jedi Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Out of curiosity where did Mawiles mega form push it to in terms of competitive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon of Sin Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 It's used in OU but it's not seen as much as others. It's a bit dated but here's an idea of what's popular on simulators right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuxSpes Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 In terms of usage in single battles, Mawile is in 42nd position on Smogon's simulator. source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I've seen that. It was posted on the Pokemon subreddit. Sadly it's kinda accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Mawile is commonly thought to be the best Mega after the big names that is not banned yet(Venusaur, Lucario, Pinsir to an extent, maybe some that I forgot) Also those summary is kinda innacurate. Aegislash is fairly versatile, that is after people stopped running terrible Swords Dance set, and Landorus I is mostly a Special Attacker Honestly once you look at it closely, Pokemon metagame actually got much more diverse with every generation, and this gen is much more diverse than the last. The scale where we have "lol Rotom-W everywhere" is not even close to the scale that we have "lol Azel, Rotom-H, Scizor everywhere" Edited January 22, 2014 by JSND Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuuda Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I've believe I've just hatched a 6 perfect IV Poliwag with Swift Swim and Encore. Not that it needs all of them, but getting lucky is nice. I am happiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anacybele Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) So, I'm going to need two to three people to help me with something. I need someone who has Articuno, someone who has Moltres, and someone with Y and Yveltal so I can dex these guys and finally see every Pokemon in the Kalos dexes. They're all that remain for me. :P Edited January 22, 2014 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Devil Trigger Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I could help with Yveltal an maybe Articuno (I still didn't get mine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Okay, let's just do Yveltal for now. My FC: 1091-7971-9087 Trainer name is Kerena. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interest Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Why sadly? I don't see anything sad there. I dunno. I guess it makes me cri everitiem. Nice name btw. Also, I think ima try the "time machine" method that's going around. Apparently...it retains shininess.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booton Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 What is this method? It's something that can speed up the first few generations of breeding if you've already got a ditto or some pokemon with good IVs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interest Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) What is this method? Here's an in-depth discussion on the topic In a nutshell, you do this: It is worth noting you HAVE to IV check (use Battle Institute), though I'm going to try to check for ONLY 31s since I have a ton of 5 IV Pokes sitting around.
