got adamant with x/31/31/31/x/31

So... 1/12 chance for pseudo perfect IV. Id rather have had that spatk 31 in spdef, but Im not one to spit on 4 perfect and the nature I want.

It's not perfect, but I'll take being 13 spdef points at 100 away from perfection.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRANDI

Alright added everyone in the first post that I hadn't already. I'll try to stay online alot tomorrow if you haven't seen me yet on.

EDIT-I want to breed a starmie, should I go for a bulky build, or a tanky rapid spinner? I also heard defog is good now (and will beat out rapid spin for entry hazard clear), but I'm not sure who can use it.
This is the first pokemon I've tried getting into the competitive meta. I did a little last gen but I didn't really do that much besides ev train and breed on the train.

EDIT X2- My first e4 team was
Krookodile
Floatzel
Chesnaught
Charizard
Espeon
Pikachu

On the first pikachu I caught I got a lightball, sooo...

Spoiler:

For anyone who doesn't know, a lightball is what made the yellow pikachu so op. It doubles pikachus attack and special attack.

[animorpherv1]

IH, I think i'd go for a fast rapid spinner myself. I don't think Starmie's a very good tank in competitive...

[Klazam]

So breeding is this big of a deal in x and y?

If you plan on playing competitive, yes. Otherwise, not at all.

[IH]

well, the plan was to go for natural cure ability and recover, along with hydropump and prolly psyshock to deal with spinblockers. Not a pure wall, just more of a bulky build instead of a sweeperish build

[Marquis]

My elite four team (surprisingly similar to a lot of others):

Marquis [Delphox]
Pagliacci [Vivillon]
Sebastian [Venusaur]
Glinda [Florges]
Elphaba [Hawlucha]
Yzma [Cloyster] (caught Adamant with 31 Atk IVs and Skill Link - not too bad for ingame, despite the judged "horrible" Def IVs)

I usually go with good/OU pokemon for ingame, but I just picked pokemon I liked for once. I'm breeding some Speed Boost Venipedes with at least 4 perfect IVs, though, so there's my first genetically-engineered monster.

[Marquis]

Definitely a resemblance though.

From my experience, the more bulky spinblocker (maxing out speed and HP) works quite well, with a moveset similar to what you've given here. Surf or Scald can be better than hydro pump on this version, just going for reliability and PP over pure power.

The other main way to use Starmie is Recover+3 attacks, with a life orb and maxed speed and special attack. It's a dangerous sweeper but won't stick around as long. I haven't played any competitive gen 6 yet but I expect Starmie to still be solid OU despite Defog.

Oh, hi, I got Pokemon Y. I'm at, like, 90% completion with the Pokedex. Anybody want to fight? I've been training for Triple Battles and I've never played competitively. If you want to do Single Battles then I can do that do. I'm just not prepared.

[Tragedy]

Does anyone have a Skrelp?

ew vivillion

[Marquis]

um it's CUTE

[Jal]

No one diss the Vivillion.

I have one.

[Brandi]

Its more of a big deal because its so much easier than it ever used to be. They pretty much "casualised" it. (Meaning: It doesn't take 10+ hours to get ONE perfect pokemon anymore)

[Brandi]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRANDI

Also thank you ani ;w;

[Tragedy]

I have one.

Trade? Though I'm unsure what to trade you with, but I have Pokemon X~

[Jal]

I'll trade. Not looking for anything, so you can just give me whatever for it, really.

Edit: I believe you have not bff added me.

[PJ.]

Is vivillon gonna be better or worse than venomoth?
