I guess I'll stick with it then. I'm trying to get a 5-6IV Shiny Adamant Scolipede with Extreme Speed. I think I should stop being picky though and just look for a normal non-shiny one or breed it myself. Someone gave me a Shiny Adamant 6IV Ditto once so I might as well make use of it for breeding.

Oh and if you want a hard counter to Mawile, Infernape can tank its Sucker Punch easily and KO back with Flare Blitz or Fire Blast. Infernape is really strong against a lot of top-usage threats, I don't know why he's not being used too much. Scolipede works really really well as a Baton Pass lead. Just set up a Sub, Swords Dance, then pass it on to someone who wrecks **** after an SD like Haxorus, Bisharp or Hawlucha. |

I'd probably use Infernape if I didn't hate fire types so much. They look really cool, but I feel like since I prefer water types that it would be weird. I tried so hard to get a really good Shiny Jollu Rapidash only to find out that it sucks for competitive battles. I'll try that and see how it goes with Scolipede (once I get him that is). |

Rapidash isn't *awful* as long as you go 252 Atk / 252 Spe and spam Flare Blitz... But Talonflame Smogonbird does that better. Bulky physical ground types like Gliscor or Landorus-T also wreck Mawile. If you're good at mind games, you can set up Swords Dance or Sub on someone like Smogonbird or Bisharp and out-priority Mawile.

*GPS voice*: Recalculating. Okay! So... Sub is for substitute right? What exactly does that move do again? |

It's basically a meat shield for 25% of HP which is good to set up when you force a switch by threatening a KO, like switching in Smogonbird against Breloom. |

CB Reckless Angry Bird and Smogonbird actually make a really powerful core together. Angry Bird has the second strongest attack in OU bar CB Kyu-B's Outrage with its Reckless-boosted Brave Bird and Double-Edge. Angry Bird's STABs alone OHKO pretty much anything that doesn't resist them except Slowbro. It's really good at destroying Smogonbird's counters like Heatran, Rotom-W and Tyranitar so Smogonbird can reign free and kill everything else. I made a team based around the Angry Bird/Smogonbird core and it got me to 1700ish when I used it, before the Life Orb Aegislash set and Lando-T gained popularity. |

On a side note, does anyone know if Mystic Water works as a hold item online? |

It should, but if it doesn't, Splash Plate is an alternative that does the same thing. also, I love hyper-offense: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-108050400 |

I know ! I'm doing free battle though so maybe that's why. Rating battles probably don't allow it, but I'm not signed up because I need practice since I'm an amateur. I feel so powerful right now though. I won 4 battles straight. The fourth guy was a Japanese guy who forfeited because my Scolipede's speed was insane and could counter his Mawile, Ninetales, and whatever that last grass Pokemon was. I feel like I'm finally getting the hang of this.EDIT: Someone disconnected on me </3 EDIT 2: Had this amazing battle with this one guy. He had this Turpuff tank and it was the most annoying ass thing, but in the end it was my sandstream from my Tyranitar that killed me. I might have had a chance if it didn't. |
