  1. @Tazarox A set up pokemon is a pokemon that puts hazards on the field such as skarmory/klefki/donphan with stealth rock/spikes/toxic spikes so your team gets damaged every time you enter the field.

     

    (Thank me, It will help alot) :D

     

    Thank's already:P, btw should i put something to boost damage on talonflame and mew or left overs ?

  2. That would make an annoying stall team. I recommend leading with talonflame and set up swords dance if against a set up pokemon. You may lead with sableye to annoy them too.

     

    What kind of pokemon is a setup pokemon ? ( im really bad at pvp ^^ )

  3. well with this existing team

    replace shadow claw on Mew with shadow ball, and use psyshock instead of psychic (so that you dont get walled by blissey/other special walls)

    Flamethrower on blissey is good for ferrothorn/scizor, you might want to consider ice beam for arena trap Dugtrio and other common threats and/or dragons.

     

    your team is missing some damage dealers, mew is nice but something physical would be nice, talonflame, garchomp or dragonite perhaps? If you have talon or h.a dragonite then you might want to consider adding a spinner to remove stealth rocks, so tentacruel/donphan/blastoise are decent choices for the final slot.

    So i have : oMrKneM7Q7Gadff3pcfQog.png

     

    And i can use this as a spinner ? : 5YFOu0efT5evG6KTh-TRcQ.png

  4. 1 month ago I'm looking for sableye h.a ... I've been in all areas for farm and it takes at least 5-6 hours to get 1 single sableye ... I understand that the rate of pokemon is low but it is too much, I would like it Please raise the rate a little more.

    :thanks: :confused: :y:

     

    Ive got a really good one in 30 min lol, if you want i can farm you one :P what server are you on ?

  5. Congrats for getting that milestone!!!

    And a very good reward indeed, myself I prefer Timid version as you can use it more times for both sync and for bosses battle :D

    Good luck for your next legendaries :)

     

    Thank's a lot :Heart: :Smile:

  6. If you want to be safe against Hippowdon (which would otherwise 2HKO Dragalge with Earthquake), you're going to need 131 speed, uninvested Hippowdon with perfect IVs having 130 speed. Draco Meteor will almost always OHKO fully physically defensive Hippowdon, while 2HKOing mixed variants. That's why the speed matters, mostly because you only need to invest 28 EVs in speed, considering you have perfect IVs in that department, but also because there aren't many notable Pokémon worth outspeeding at the cost of sacrificing more HP EVs. The only two other exceptions I can think of are uninvested Clefable at 156 speed and uninvested Tyranitar at 158. This would allow you to hit both of them extremely hard, OHKOing Bold Clefable (and almost OHKOing the Calm variant) with Sludge Bomb and almost nailing Tyranitar with the newly-implemented Focus Blast. It only OHKOs the latter when running no HP EVs, in which case you're not faster. Also, keep in mind that the sandstorm boosts Tyranitar's special defense, so OHKOing it will almost never occur, unless you are running Life Orb or Choice Specs. Your Dragalge doesn't have the highest special attack possible, so you should try to calculate the damage you do to certain Pokémon, as some close OHKOs will not be scored, which might result in you losing your Pokémon, instead of getting ahead.

     

    Knowing Dragalge's limits is mandatory. The typing is definitely great and you should abuse it as much as possible. Dragalge can switch into many attacks, get rid of Toxic Spikes, while being able to set them himself. Dragalge also threatens enemy teams with a wide array of moves. Draco Meteor and Sudge Bomb are mandatory. I would also recommend Focus Blast, as it is nigh mandatory to nail Pokémon that resist both of Dragalge's STAB moves and try to switch into them just to be surprised by Focus Blast. The list is long: Bisharp, Ferrothorn, Magnezone and Excadrill are some of the ones you should keep in mind. Toxic Spikes is a great option for the last slot, especially when running Black Sludge for passive recovery (Dragalge can switch into a lot of attacks and bluff an attack, then proceed to set up Toxic Spikes to hurt grounded setup sweepers other than steel-type Pokémon). If the main concern is to deal as much damage as possible to anything that switches in, then you should definitely give Dragalge an item that boosts the power of Draco Meteor, as it lands a powerful, neutral hit on anything that isn't a fairy-type or a steel-type Pokémon. You deal with the latter two with the combination of Sludge Bomb and Focus Blast (which is why you can run Toxic Spikes without worrying too much about not being able to neutrally cover most of the metagame). Otherwise, Life Orb is another option. However, Dragalge is supposed to switch-in a lot and not die early on. Life Orb increases the damage significantly (and your Dragalge, with lower special attack than desired, could benefit from such a boost in power), but recoil damage on top of hits from other Pokémon will prevent Dragalge from performing the role it's supposed to as well as it should. Choice Specs has the advantage of boosting Dragalge's moves' power even further, but has the drawback of being locked into a specific move, which means that, should you predict right, you will deal more damage (e.g. Tyranitar maybe being OHKO'd). If you don't predict right, then you're in big trouble, and Dragalge or another Pokémon might die or just take significant damage. With Choice Specs, you risk losing some momentum and being set behind, which is not always an easy situation to come back from. Not to say it's impossible, though. On Life Orb sets, maybe consider running Scald over Toxic Spikes. On Choice Specs sets, it is nigh mandatory to run it (or any other move that would help your team). Do not run Choice Scarf. That would be pointless.

     

    I personally wouldn't use that Dragalge in PvP. However, considering the rarity of H.A. Skrelp, you can if you really want to. Otherwise, I'd recommend using another special wallbreaker, maybe Hydreigon (easier to farm, as Levitate is the only available ability). Hydreigon does lack Toxic Spikes, but functions better than Dragalge in the current metagame, hitting fairy-type Pokémon with Flash Cannon and steel-type Pokémon with Flamethrower or Focus Blast, while having good neutral coverage with both Draco Meteor and Dark Pulse. Earth Power is also a powerful option (which reminds me that your Dragalge does have HP Ground). The main advantage Hydreigon has over Dragalge is sitting at a much higher speed tier.

     

    I hope I have been of some help. Good luck!

     

    You've been more than a good help :') :thanks: :Heart:
