    What is the deal with people and 31s

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    breeding for particular ivs (31s)  is more expensive than breeding for compromises, what's why stuff such as a...31 15 31 x 31 31 swampert will be worth as much as a 28 29 30 x 31 30 swampert, even though the first one is way worse. You're basically investing for a 5x31 in this case.

    Other than that, i don't think things are like you said, everyone i met could easily "see through" 31's.

    You need Silk Scarf to beat Forre/Skarm with flail set iirc.

     

    I don't think it hits hard enough anyway, does about 80% with no silk boost.

    Lemme run some calcs...

     

    +6 252+ Atk Silk Scarf Linoone Flail (200 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Forretress: 171-202 (93.9 - 110.9%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO

     

    And you guys were right, didn't expect it to be that significant.

    No guaranteed 1hko, but it might be worth a try

    Zard needs at least 2 more sets.

     

    Sunnybeam
    Ability: Blaze
    Item: Petaya Berry
    Nature: Timid/ Modest
    EVs: 252S ATK + 252 Speed
    Moveset:

    • Sunny Day
    • Solarbeam
    • Fire Blast
    • Sub/ HP Ice

     

    Gladiator
    Ability: Blaze
    Item: Sitrus Berry
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 252 ATK + 252 Speed
    Moveset:

    • Belly Drum
    • Fire Punch
    • Thunder Punch/ Crunch
    • Earthquake

     

    Hariyama also has at least 2 more usable sets:

     

    Drum n' break walls
    Item: Sitrus Berry
    Nature: Jolly
    Ivs and Evs: Max speed, HP enough to get Sitrus' HP boost after Belly Drum. If we're using perfect IVs, then spread 156 atk, 252 speed, 100 def will work.
    Moveset

     

    • Belly Drum
    • Earthquake 
    • Thunderpunch
    • Return

    Simple thing. Belly drum, punch a hole in enemy's defensive core, use rest of your sweepers to bring him to his knees.

     

    There is also a bulkup set with Careful thick fat set that is capable of working wonders but it's basically the same set as Machamp.

     

    About Lino's set with Sub- it doesn't need it. Return is much better on it with it's ability to OHKO weezing and deal actual damage to Skarm/ Forret.

     

    One more Lino set:

     

    DIS IS GONNA HURT
    Item: Silk Scarf
    Nature: Adamant
    Ivs and Evs: 252 Attack, enough speed to reach 123 stat, rest into HP to make it dividible by 4(+1). Rest of EVs can be put into def/ sdef.

    Moveset:

    • Belly Drum
    • Subsitute 
    • Extremespeed
    • Flail

    +6 Silk scarfed Flail has a big chance of OHKOing Skarm and Forret. Only thing you need to look out for is Dusclops so pair it with a pursuit trapper.

     

    Would be also cool if we'd add UUs that are viable in OU (Kingler, Lanturn, Scizor, Houndoom) :v)

     

    I'd personally drop the silk scarf for a lum berry, gives you plenty more chances of setting up.

     

    Edit: Also another really nice zard set.

     

    Ability: 420blaze
    Item: Leftovers/Lum Berry
    Nature: Naughty/Lonely
    Ivs and Evs: 252 att and speed
    Moveset:

    • Swords Dance
    • Overheat
    • Earthquake
    • Thunderpunch

    The idea is to setup on things that can't harm it too much, like arcanine, chansey and umbreon (especially arcanine which is very likely to come in to prevent a bdrum/sunny day sweep).

    Thunderpunch is nice against gyarados, but it won't be too much of use against things such as slowbro at +2/4.

    Overheat is still better compared to any other ph move, since it 1hkos anything it hits for supereffective damage anyway without the need of any setup whatsoever

    Wouldn't this be resolved with an auction house?

     

    I thought about that, but they're not really related when you think about it.

    Also the day auction houses are implemented we'll be both dead

     

    Edit cuz greck: Exactly. someone else might end up buying when you were keeping the deal for only one person
