Hey smogon, a few simple questions about this Yveltal I just reset:
[717] Shiny Yveltal
OT: XYZ (05206) (Lv. 100)
Nature: Modest - Ability: Dark Aura
IVs: 31/30/31/30/30/31
Moves: Foul Play, Dark Pulse, Oblivion Wing, U-turn
EVs: 32 HP / 4 Def / 248 SpA / 224 Spe
Tradeable Stock : 1
Notes: Reset this myself, on X file [59622]. I have 4 more of these left to reset.
Flawless Hidden Power Ground is wasted on Yveltal [Or is it Mega-Diancie?!], but the 30 Attack IV is amazing for U-turn and the choice skarf set; so I kept. /should have been resetting Xerneas. 32 HP and 4 Defense EVs allow Yveltal to always survive a +2 Extreme Speed from standard Extreme Killer Arceus in order to KO it with Foul Play after recoil from its own Life Orb. Trophy Case.
Questions:
1. How important is that 4 Defense ev? Does 1 point make or break it? Should I move it to Special Attack because mine is flawed by a point? Smogon recommends the EVs listed, but am I missing out on any KOs, with the 1 point lost here with the IVs?
2. Is Hidden Power Ground worth while in the slightest? If so, should I just cut foul play for HP Ground, move the point from defense to special attack, switch out of Arceus to a better check and call it a night?
Let me know smogon!
