I can give you Staryu, Beldum and Inkay, as soon as I can finish breeding them.

No Problem!

Could you send again? It still says "Waiting..." EDIT: Nvm.

It was a problem with my wifi. I'm online now. My username is Damian.

Hmm, give me a sec. I'm having trouble logging in. I'll let you know as soon as I'm ready. EDIT: Looks like this isn't happening.

Do you want to wait for Rising Emperor? If not, I have the 4 mons you need.

So, I realize that you can't get a Ninjask with Hone Claws after gen 7 content was introduced into the game, but it was possible to do so through TM before that point. Let me know if you have one that you're willing to trade, and if there's any specific mon you want in return.

Well, it doesn't mention the Underwater Grass in the Tanzan Cove where, aside from the rare Basculin, everything yields HP EVs. As for Speed, the only reliable place I know is the southern-most cave in the Rhodochrine Jungle. There's a spot where Swoobat will swoop down on you, and it resets when you leave the cave. There's also an un-mentioned spot for Defense EVs inside Tanzan mountain, but that location also has Diglet and Dugtrio, who may have Arena Trap and yield Speed EVs. It's the cave system right next to the closed off Meteor Base entrance. If you plan to spend a lot of time there you might want to venture deeper and find the busted-looking-but-still-functional healing machine.

I'd suggest Serebii instead, since there they mention if the Parents themselves learn it by level-up or by breeding. Anyhow, if you do plan to breed Lucario for Meteor Mash and/or Bullet Punch, you might want to stock up on friendship berries (Assuming you want good IVs too). Riolu can't breed, so it'll save you some time in evolving it to Lucario.

I'd say switch out Delphox for a Silvally-Fairy and give it Rock Slide; gets rid of your triple Ground weakness, and covers your triple Fighting, Dragon and Ice weaknesses.

If you're looking to make Legendary battles more difficult, why not make them like the Totem Pokemon battles? Boost one or more of their stats and also have them summon another mon for help. For example, have Kyogre summon an Alomomola and (like with the Wishiwashi Totem) have it spam Heal Pulse and Soak. Or, like, I dunno, summon an Araquanid/Clawitzer/Dewgong/Luvdisc with Entrainment and give Kyogre any of their useful abilities.

You can teach power-up punch through the TM you find in Teknite Cave.

No, not really, just in-game for now. I'm mostly just asking now so I can finish up breeding, EV training and leveling up before E19.

Before E16, I'd settled on a team that I thought would be adequate for an in-game run, but found that it fared very poorly in double battles during later episodes. So, I'm looking to make a new team from scratch that's bulky but still has some offensive power behind it. I've come up with two teams, but I'm not entirely satisfied with either, and I'd like some help fixing either one or both of them. Team 1: Alolan-Ninetales @ Light Clay Snow Warning Timid, 252 Sp. Atk., 252 Spd -Aurora Veil -Blizzard -Freeze Dry -Moonblast Alomomola @ Leftovers Regenerator Calm, 40 HP, 216 Def, 252 Sp. Def. -Toxic -Wish -Scald -Wide Guard Hydreigon @ Life Orb Levitate Modest, 252 Sp. Atk., 252 Spd -Draco Meteor -Fire Blast -Dark Pulse -Flash Cannon Mamoswine @ Choice Band Thick Fat Adamant, 252 Atk, 252 Spd -Ice Shard -Icicle Crash -Earthquake -Rock Slide Volcarona @ Grassium-Z Flame Body Timid, 252 Sp. Atk., 252 Spd -Quiver Dance -Fire Blast -Bug Buzz -Giga Drain Mawile @ Mawilite Intimidate Brave, 252 HP, 252 Spd -Play Rough -Iron Head -Sucker Punch -Thunder Punch Pretty straight-forward strategy: set up Aurora Veil, switch in to either one the four attackers to deal damage or to Alomomola to Wish pass. I've put Wide Guard on Alomomola for Double Battles and Grassium-Z on Volcarona for bulky waters. I'm not particularly fond of Mega-Mawile due to its low speed, but I needed a Rock resist and a Fairy killer, and I went with this bulkier EV spread. I plan to switch it out for a strictly offensive Mega-Metagross when I get the stone, but even then I'm not sure if relying on Volcarona to be the only speed-boosting sweeper is a good idea. Team 2: Tangrowth @ Assault Vest Regenerator Sassy, 248 HP, 68 Atk, 192 Sp. Def -Giga Drain -Knock Off -Hidden Power Ice -Earthquake (eventually, but Bulldoze for now) Toxapex @ Black Sludge Regenerator Calm, 252 HP, 252 Sp. Def -Toxic -Recover -Haze -Scald Tyranitar @ Life Orb (eventually Tyranitarite) Sand Stream Jolly, 252 Atk, 252 Spd -Dragon Dance -Stone Edge -Earthquake -Ice Punch Excadrill @ Choice Band (eventually Life Orb) Sand Rush Jolly, 252 Atk, 252 Spd -X-Scissor (eventually Swords Dance) -Iron Head -Rock Slide -Earthquake Volcarona @ Grassium-Z Flame Body Timid, 252 Sp. Atk., 252 Spd -Quiver Dance -Fire Blast -Bug Buzz -Giga Drain Clefable @ Leftovers Magic Guard Bold, 252 HP, 252 Def -Calm Mind -Wish -Moonblast -Thunder Wave I like this more in theory, at least when fully realized: two naturally bulky set-up mons, double Regenerator mons and a Wish passer that can also set-up in a pinch, along with Excadrill as a speedy hitter in Sand if I don't get the opportunity for set-up. Unfortunately, Tyranitar and Excadrill share too many weaknesses, so I'll definitely be wasting Sand turns switching from TTar to one of the Regenerator mons and then to Excadrill. I also have three mons weak to Water and three weak to Ground, which is bad for Doubles, and I don't have a ground immunity, which pretty much prevents me from spamming Earthquake. I considered getting rid of Volcarona and Clefable and getting a Togekiss, but I have no ideas for the last slot. So, yeah, what changes do you suggest to make either of these teams better for both single and double battles? EDIT: Switched out Knock Off on Mamoswine for Rock Slide because I realized I had nothing for Volcarona.

No problem!

I have an azurill, give me your username.

Are you online right now?

Are you online? I just caught one.

I'm ready when you are.

You're welcome, glad you liked it.

Request sent.

Are you online right now? I just finished breeding one.

Yeah, that was weird. Anyhow, enjoy the Gible.

I've sent a request. The name is Damian.

Cool! Are you online right now?
