Not bad. Just need to work on the defense to make it perfect 31 IVs. Then your ralts will be perfect. But timid is a bad nature since Gardevoir is not really meant to capitalize on speed. Give it modest for the full sp attack then it'll be a beast. For EVs give it 252 sp attack and 252 speed(so it still has a decent speed stat) and 6 hp. Gardevoir is like a huge "good" pokemon in reborn and gets you through the game apparently so I would suggest you use Gardevoir. FYI for getting a Gardevoir your ralts has to be female.

We need black/white elite four remix(or original) for elite four and Blue's theme for champion please. Those are probably the most epic soundtracks not used yet. But something original could be cool too.

If someone ever figures out how to actually beat these sets then please let me know. I have only one solution. Focus sash Rosarade with Grassy Terrain and Sturdy Magnezone with Electric Terrain. Down goes the strategy.

@Lord Drakyle AI or human will hold very little importance when the AI gets a Pokémon so powerful that it just needs to use one move to kill one Pokémon. That's the kind of battles this kind of mechanics indicates.

The field effects make the game hard anyways. On top of that 252 EVs in every stat(which is what most of the community understood from Eve's information) is a feat unachievable by us the player for a simple reason that we are only allowed 510 EVs total. 252×6 stats = 1512 EVs which the player can never get. If the opponent has a dragon dance Tyranitar with this setting that means the Tyranitar can easily take a hit and outspeed your Pokémon to do a lot of damage because of 62 extra stats in every single stat. Add to that the fact that there's a PULSE Arceus which we'll have to at some point battle just makes it even more ridiculous. And according to Eve every single Pokémon of the top admins have such stats. In comparison to such a broken skill do you honestly think withholding megas would even be fair? This mechanic is something that doesn't incorporate normal Pokémon logic and is equivalent to battling a legendary Pokemon. Any and every strategy should be available to the player to use because it's literally like an ultimate test. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if all the top Meteor admins form the elite four and Lin was the champion or something. This really sounds like a set up for that and of course restricting anything at that point in the game is simply unfair.

Why in the world do smogon sets recommend max speed and timid nature for Magnezone?! It has like base 60 speed. They're saying to scarf it so it outspeeds a Kartana lol. It may outspeed but that's so ridiculous. Even an elecktrike is faster.

The kartana excuse really only works this Gen., while magnezone's been running high-Speed Choice sets from it's introduction. My guess is that it's due to the fact that magnezone has no means of active recovery, and is thusly prone to being worn down throughout the fight simply by switching in to do its actual job (hunting down, entrapping, and ultimately elimination opposing Steel Types). It doesn't want to take any more blows than it already has to, and the best way to make sure that doesn't happen is to blast your target to smithereens before they can even move!
I'm personally a little annoyed that Smogon only has Magnet Pull sets for it (and probopass), but that may have something to do that I play in-game rather than comp.- the need to off Steels isn't quite so significant in the majority of fights, no?
-
magnezone is limited by its stats, other than special attack and to a lesser extent defense, being rather bad. id argue magnet pull is the only reason its still in ou, even. sturdy had a fall from grace with stealth rock appearing on pretty much every team.
ingame trapping isnt even as important, as ai trainers often dont even switch out to begin with. so ingame id 100% go with sturdy magnezone.

Hmm check again in Route 1 if it's respawned. Or some mod might help you get it back.
-
255 EVs is a mechanic in the regular games as well? I play on showdown so didn't know this was there in gamefreak games. Just thought it was a programming mechanic or something lol. And yeah I guess I didn't mention it but power items let you gain EVs of the specific stat along with any other EVs you would normally gain from killing a Pokémon.
-
IV Max possible is 31. At level 100, 1 IV= 1 stat point. Every stat can have 31 IVs. IVs are randomly generated. You have to get lucky to have 31 ivs in a stat. You constantly breed Pokémon to get 31 ivs in all stats. EV Max possible is 252 for one stat. Among all stats total max possible is 510. At level 100, 4 EVs= 1 stat point. You have to kill specific Pokémon to get EVs in a stat. Or you use a power item for a stat(power anklet makes you gain speed EVs only etc). Nature Raises one stat and drops another stat. Some may not affect your stats at all. A Pokémon that has 31 IVs in every stat, has a good distribution of 510 EVs among all stats and has the nature that boosts the correct stat is considered a good Pokémon for competitive battling.
-
The 0 speed is for imposter I think. If you're going to send in your ditto right when the opponent(that say gets a stat boost on entering the field) also sends out their Pokemon. Then you want to be the last one to transform so you have the stats of the other Pokémon who got it's stat boost. I don't know how the hidden power thing is but my guess is that you want to copy a specific Pokemon's IVs so you can have the exact same move set. That means that if you have the IVs of a Naganedel then you want to send out your ditto against Naganedel only so that you could copy any hidden power they have as you have the same IVs.
-
Earthquake is such a bad move. The only reason an earthquake is scary is because buildings and trees can collapse on you and you can get crushed. In a Pokémon battle with pure barren land as a stadium, exactly how is shaking the ground supposed to do damage? Isn't earth power, with all kinds of eruptions straight from the ground, more harmful than simply shaking the ground?
-
I don't get it. Did you give her the weed or not? After getting the weed you have to go to her house and she'll ask you to come to seventh street. You'll have to go to seventh street only in early morning(till 7 or something I think) and talk to her. She'll accept it and give you a reward.
-
Woa you combine these with field effects and you have a basically unbeatable team.

Breeding complete! Now Ev training.
I didn't believe it when I looked it up but larvesta evolves at level 59 into Volcarona! That's almost equal to psuedo legendary Pokemon. And it has 135 special attack which is 10 points higher than Hydreigon. And it STILL gets quiver dance! We need a buff to Hydreigon with a mega and a stat boosting move. Let the Hydra rampage in OU too.

Lol or it's ability in Pokémon Insurgence, Learnen which gives it 5 heads at full and 7 in red hp. I thought it was a pretty balanced ability. Because the power of a move is calculated very nicely.
Dragon pulse= 85
85÷5= 17 per head+5 more power= 22 per head×5 heads= 110 base power.
I like this concept a lot because it basically gives Hydreigon a more harder hitting move and it's stats get boosted with mega evolution so it can really do some great damage.

-
So Magnezone is better than Electivire in Reborn right? Does electric terrain nullify all other field effects?
-
Basically
-
All characters have problems which makes their stories interesting. The game encourages breeding because it's hard and I love it.
-
Holy crap, Hawlucha learns it at level 60! I'm in luck after all.
-
After 2 hours of breeding a wild Hawlucha with a 5 iv ditto this is still the best I get. Does anyone where the swords dance tm is? I want to teach it to Hawlucha and don't have it.
-
Going to breed myself Hawlucha and Magnezone. Should be easy. And I get to test out my new team of six against 4 gym leaders too. This should be fun.
-
Earthquake at level 54 and Outrage at level 60.
-
Don't bother. Get a moxie Krookodile and teach it Crunch, Earthquake, Rock Slide and outrage for coverage. Give it a choice scarf or band. That's the best coverage you'll get for it. Power trip would mean you'll need to have like plus 5 attack or something which is ridiculous since a Krookodile will never survive long enough to have those kind of stats.
-
You have to go into route 1. In the south east side there will be a flower that always puts you to sleep and a path beyond it. Buy a floral charm from Lapis Ward. Then go to the flower and step on it. Let the charm activate. Catch or run from the Pokémon. Keep going straight. In the bush there's a hidden item called the oddish weed. Go to her house and talk to her. She'll tell you to come to seventh street indirectly. Then go to seventh street in the morning(till 8am only I think) and give it to her. You'll get a reward.
