Speed in PvP [SOLVED]

[Pokemondzoto]

Hello,

how I can increase speed of my Pokemon in PvP battles? Is anyone here who could introduce me all possible ways to do it?

For example, today opponent's Ludicolo attacked before mine Salamence and then my Heracross attacked the same Ludicolo as a FIRST. Heracross was faster than this Ludicolo and Salamence was not- but my Salamence has higher speed than mine Heracross. So how did it come? Ludicolo did not use any priority move. Maybe that was effect of using one-time working berry what boosts speed? I do not know... I lost a lot of games in PvP and I'll be very happy if somebody tell me how I can increase my Pokemons speed...

Thanks a lot.

Hey there!

 

Sorry for the inconvenience that was caused. You cannot boost the speed of your Pokemon outside of EV training and the item Choice Scarf. Your opponent most likely was using a rain-based team, which means that he had a Pokemon with the ability Drizzle. The Ludicolo from your opponent most likely had the ability Swift Swim, which doubles its speed when the rain is active. The rain most likely faded away once you sent in your Heracross, which means that it was faster because Heracross has a higher base speed than Ludicolo has.

I hope this solves your issue, let me know if you can confirm this. I hope you have a nice day. Kind regards,

Yep I asked my opponent how it is possible and that was exactly that ability Swift Swim. A lot to learn ;) Thanks for advices.
