  1. LOL! thats one crazy way to win a match. :=D:

     

    Just keep in mind that it's not as effective in actual 3DS battles due to matches having a time limit, unless you can secure a KO against one of your opponent's Pokemon while keeping all 6 of yours healthy, in which case it forces you to win by time over (unless the opponent forfeits before that, in which case you still win :troll: ).

     

    Simulators like Showdown are a different story though...

  2. Swords Dance set with Close Combat, physical priority move, and a coverage move, or Nasty Plot set with Vacuum Wave + 2 Attacks.

     

    Both are ridiculously overpowered, no Pokemon can counter both sets besides Zapdos, Moltres, and bulky Gyarados, where the former requires PokeBank in order to OHKO M.Lucario back, and all three are weak to Stealth Rock, which increases the chance of an OHKO on M.Lucario's side.

  3. Ah, right, completely forgot about Choice Scarf calcs.

     

    With Choice Scarf, Timid, and max Speed investment, your speed hits 376 at lv 100 (128 at lv 50), which basically lets you outspeed everything except the following:

     

    Note: Common Choice Scarfed Pokemon in red, minimum EVs required to outspeed Scarf Timid Glaceon in parenthesis. Pokemon that require a positive speed nature will be in bold. Numbers on the left assume maximum speed EV investment. Pokemon requiring a stat boost move will be in blue.

  4. Was having a little discussion with Noob in the chat about the merits of using Choice Specs on his Glaceon and/or Jolteon, and since I promised him some calcs against common defensive Pokemon:
