Zen Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 You know you're definitely seeing things when... Stone Edge and Megahorn hit 100% of the time (well, maybe not Megahorn), and volcarona ignores water-types when attacking Made as a bug monotype for doubles/triples. --- Butterfree (M) @ Focus Sash Trait: Compoundeyes EVs: 220 Def / 20 SAtk / 16 SDef / 252 Spd Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Giga Drain - Skill Swap - Sleep Powder - Quiver Dance - Heracross (F) @ Custap Berry Trait: Guts EVs: 160 Atk / 96 Def / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Megahorn - Close Combat - Stone Edge - Endure - Yanmega (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Speed Boost EVs: 88 Def / 60 SAtk / 204 SDef / 156 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Bug Buzz - Air Slash - Giga Drain - Protect - Scizor (M) @ Lum Berry Trait: Technician EVs: 100 Atk / 152 SDef / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Bullet Punch - Night Slash - Brick Break - Swords Dance - Venomoth (M) @ Focus Sash Trait: Tinted Lens EVs: 176 Def / 24 SAtk / 56 SDef / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Giga Drain - Skill Swap - Sleep Powder - Quiver Dance - Volcarona (M) @ Lum Berry Trait: Flame Body EVs: 228 Def / 24 SAtk / 252 Spd Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Bug Buzz - Fiery Dance - Hidden Power [ice] - Quiver Dance --- So, what is the point of all this? Well, yanmega and scizor are mainly there as insurance... but the rest are actually two pairs of pokemon that work in tandem. Butterfree/heracross is a combination intended to Swap the ability CompoundEyes onto heracross. Hello, Stone Edge, how'd you like 100% accuracy? And why, Megahorn, 100% acuracy does suit you much better than that measly 85%! Oh, venomoth/volcarona, how lovely it is to see Tinted Lens on that fiery moth. Now I can use Fiery Dance against those an opposing water pokemon, or even Bug Buzz against a ghost/fighter/bird without losing damage! Would abuse Skill Swap further, but for the bugs there's really only so much it could do. Another alternative for the CompoundEyes swap would be crustle, but it only learns Stone Edge and not Megahorn (can't maximize the accuracy boost).

Zen Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Possible candidates for Tinted Lens include crustle, heracross (Scarfed), and also accelgor, if you think of it. Really, damage that is neutral of better can't go too far wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Shuckle can guard split with a pokemon not so bulky, and you can... win! The old Guard Split trick is just that - old. So I decided to try something possibly more destructive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
