Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I know that salazzle can poison steel types with corrosion but is it better with oblivious or corrosion? I just hatched a 6 iv modest female salandit with oblivious. However I don't know if Salazzle is better with modest or timid.
Is bulletproof useful over overgrow for chesnaught? I just hatched a 6 iv adamant chespin that unfortunately has overgrow. I know that chesnaught's sets are smogon are defensive sets but is bulletproof worth it for chesnaught?
Someone sent me a 6 iv shiny bold natured multi scale lugia on wonder trade which was ev trained in hp and special attack. While lugia is more of a defensive pokemon and runs defensive sets usually, is multiscale the better ability on lugia
Is swift swim a reasonable ability over battle armor for armaldo? I am trying to get cross poison and aqua jet as egg moves for it since I have a 5 iv female anorith that does not have any egg moves, a 5 iv male drapion with cross poison, and a 5 iv male shiny tirtouga with aqua jet. Are cross...
Is it okay to have a choice band set? I know that jolly is the preferred nature and I just hatched a 6 iv male jolly rough skin gible and am unsure of what set to use because my adamant rough skin one is the scarf set and my jolly sand veil one is the swords dance sweeper. I am trying to think...
Thanks. I dont know if sand veil was banned in ou for 7th gen but I always thought though that adamant was the preferred garchomp nature on the scarf set and jolly for everything else, and sand veil for the ability if it was going to be on a sandstorm team/paired with tyranitar or hippowdon...
I still cannot decide on what nature/ability to run on garchomp, whether to use adamant or jolly with sand veil or rough skin. I am currently using a 6 iv adamant choice scarf rough skin garchomp for competitive play but I also have a 6 iv jolly sand veil gible which is meant to be a swords...
What is Tangrowth's best ability and nature? I just received a 5 iv regenerator tangela off the GTS but unfortunately it has serious nature. I am trying to use it on a trick room team with a 5 iv modest regenerator slowbro and a 6 iv modest regenerator slowking.
Why is Kingdra nu in sun and moon when there are ou movesets? Regarding using it competitively, I had just hatched a 6 iv modest horsea with swift swim, but is there any reason to use timid instead? I know swift swim is the better ability for it but is there any good reason to use swift swim as...
For gothita, I don't know if shadow tag or competitive works better, because I hatched a 5 iv modest shadow tag gothita and a 5 iv modest competitive gothita. I know that shadow tag is banned but is it just shadow tag or gothitelle that is banned
Is modest or timid the better nature for hydreigon? I had just hatched a 6 iv deino but it is running modest instead of timid. Is there any use for a modest hydreigon in UU over timid
I also got water spout, dragon pulse, and aura sphere as egg moves for it because I bred with a clawitzer in pokemon x and the blastoise I bred with had those same moves. I understand why rain dish might be useless but is there a good reason to use torrent on a modest blastoise in uu?
Is torrent blastoise any good over rain dish? In pokemon moon I received a 6 perfect iv modest squirtle that unfortunately has torrent (bred with a 5 perfect iv modest rain dish lv 100 blastoise that I transferred over from pokemon alpha sapphire).
