Holy shit, just fought a dude who used Sticky Web and Knock Off. My team's ok with Sticky Web because four of them usually go second anyway. However, Knock Off is so fucking annoying.
I made a few mistakes, but I was able to stall long enough for him to realise that he was going to eventually lose. He gave up despite having three Pokemon left.
His tactic would've worked better if he had poison spikes or stealth rock. Fighting Mandibuzz was annoying. Toxic, Roost, Whirlwind, and Knock Off. I fortunately had my Gliscor which it couldn't do anything about.
I haven't really fought a Mandibuzz before so I was pretty surprised by how well it could stall. If Sticky Web wasn't in the field, I would've switched in my Azumarill. But I was concerned about Knock Off and Toxic so I played it safe... especially after he had poisoned my Porygon2 and knocked off its Eviolite, lol.
Ty one_kill for the lucky egg!
np dude
Oh, I knew the IVs didn't change but I don't know why I thought the shiny value would.
What EV spread should I use on my Skarmory once I breed a perfect one? I'm thinking of having Roost, Stealth Rock, Autotomize and Steel Wing on it. Or should I replace Steel Wing with Whirlwind?
Why do you want Automize? Toxic, Roost, Stealth Rock, Whirlwind. In terms of EV spread, maybe 252 HP, 80 Def, 176 SpD?
