[schivo-123]

Have you ever wanted to try competetive pokemon and dont know where to start, little cup is a format where the pokemon is in level 5 which means less abilities to check up, less f u situations, and tons of experiance for beginners! This leauge is starting fully now this summer so i really recomend checking it out!!

Playing against my best-friend with our favorite Pokemon teams = How many OU’s can we claim to be our favorite Pokemon.

Here to help you.

I want to hear more about what my followers need help with.  I think I finally turned on my inbox-thingy-mabob.  So just send me messages and if I didn't just re-blog and tell me I’m an idiot.  But ask any question related to competitive play or just general mechanics of the game.

What's an IV?   Simply put, it's a max of 31 points per stat that can increase any stat by a 1:1 ratio.   Example: Mew has 310 HP without any IV's.  With max IV's it would have 341.  (310 + 31 = 341)  With 15 IV's it would have 325.  (310 + 15 = 325)

Working on a spreadsheet for the E4 so you can understand what to do.  Should be done tomorrow.  I can confirm that only Mew or Arceus can do it effectively movepool-wise.  (ORAS)

Set of the day

Well today I wanted to broadcast a very standardised set but also discuss its strengths a little: Landorus@Life Orb Trait: Sheer Force Timid Nature 4/0/0/252/0/252 - Earth Power - Sludge Bomb - Psychic - Focus Blast This is one of the most straightforward additions to an OU team. If you've got a spare slot for a Pokemon, you lack speed other than a token Scarf user, and you really need more offensive presence, Landorus-Incarnate is perfect. Coming off a respectable base 115 Special Attack with base 101 speed just to piss off anything that hits the base 100 benchmark or lower, Landorus manages to then get stupid damage on his Earth Power, with Sheer Force combining with the Life Orb to 2HKO most of the non-Flying metagame.

Pokemon you never see!

Ok not Pokemon you never see competetively, but rather Pokemon that you don't see used very well, or often. One of these is Masquerain, which I see basically never. Last gen I decided to make an NU team around the guy, and basically it was a Double Screens/ Memento 'Voir, with a spinner in support, to aid Masquerain coming out into a severely weakened opponent behind screens and Quiver Dancing once or twice until at appropriate speed to sweep Masquerain@Lum Berry Trait: Intimidate Modest Nature 4/0/0/252/0/252 - Quiver Dance  - Air Slash - Bug Buzz - Giga Drain I haven't really looked into how to use this set in a gen VI context, but I think I should look into it, perhaps with Vivillon, as getting Hurricane>Air Slash is a huge boost, and hopefully the little butterfly won't get banned from the NU tier any time soon.
