Never seen a mixed reuniclus, seems cool
Would be good for punching out dark types trying to swap in

>>24960822
You should try for 8/16 HP instead of 12 so your HP number is odd.

>>24960823
Yeah seems like a nice ruse for opponents. As long as you run other slowpokes, Trick Room should be okay.

>>24960823
Yeah, i was going for a surprise factor. Thinking about replacing reflect for safeguard. Im building a team around mega steelix

>>24960692
I don't know what you're using Drain Punch for, it's not going to do enough damage to anything to make it worthwhile.

>>24960850
I am using it as a recovery move and so this is not complete taunt bait, if there are better suggestions i'm open to it.

mixed reuniclus sounds nice but when put into practice, is overshadowed by most other sets. if this isn't working out for you as well as you'd expect, try the following:

Reuniclus @ Life Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA
Quiet Nature
- Psyshock
- Focus Blast
- Shadow Ball
- Trick Room

at the cost of dropping reflect, recovery, and any specific defensive investment, this hits a hell of a lot harder. magic guard also allows it to avoid life orb/hazard damage.

>>24960850
shhhh they gotta learn the hard way

>>24960862
if you hate recover so much there's always regenerator

>>24960862
Reuniculus' Attack stat is barely half of what it's Special Attack Stat is, you should not be using physical moves with it. If you want recovery, use Leftovers.
Change it to Quiet nature, move the Attack EV's into Special Attack, and replace Drain Punch with Focus Blast.

>>24960832
What is the benefit of an odd hp stat?

That Drain Punch will be very weak, especially with a Big Root. It can't even 2HKO Blissey with it. A neutral Psyshock will always do more than a super effective +nature Drain Punch.

Better options for mixed Reuniclus are Explosion and Knock Off.

I appreciate the suggestions, i am using overcoat as its ability so it doesn't take sandstorm damage. The team i'm trying to make is a sand room type team to buff mega steelix,

>>24960862
>Recovery
That's what Regenerator is for, you massive tard.

Using a non-STAB move for recovery off of base 65 attack isn't innovative, it's idiotic.

>>24960897
magic guard negates weather damage too. it really isn't that hard to research these things on your own.

>>24960900
>Bisharp used taunt.
You were saying?

>>24960916
>bisharp used any stab move ever
you were saying?

>>24960904
Ok thanks. I thought it only stopped life orb recoil and status damage,

>>24960925
The point is it stops it from being taunt bait.

>>24960916
Drain Pinch will do at most 35% to Bisharp, although that's irrelevant because Bisharp will just kill Reuniculus with Sucker Punch or Knock Off anyway.

>>24960940
So does Focus Blast, which also has the benefit of actually being able to kill Bish.

>>24960940
do you really think taunt is so wildly prevalent in the metagame? because it isn't. typical leads (ignoring the fact that reuniclus is much better suited for a CM sweeper in sand as opposed to a trick room lead) consist of pokemon like garchomp/landorus whose purpose is to either set hazards or pivot out - not taunt. this isn't dpp ou.

>>24960916
>implying taunt stops Regenerator from working
I can't tell who's more retarded, OP for coming up with this ridiculous set, or you for defending it.

>>24960975
at this point i'm sure it's bait

Well alright then. I'll see what works on this mon. What about teammates?

>>24961001
Anything slow and strong. Examples include Crawdaunt, Machamp, Snorlax, and Magnezone.

>>24961019
So far its Reuniclus, steelix, druddigon ,dragalge, i'm thinking hippowdon for sandstorm. I might try snorlax sounds pretty good.

Reflect is pretty meh if you don't use light clay. I suggest changing it to recover and changing drain punch to focus blast. Also

>overcoat
Why? It's just a much much much worse magic guard.

>>24961041
Try getting your hands on an overcoat Escalvier.

>>24961074
I chose overcoat because i wanted it to be immune to sandstorm damage. I didn't realize magic gaurd protected against that.

>>24961081
Alright i'll look into it.

>her

>>24961226
Look at the gender tard.

>>24960889
Dying less quickly to hazards, since his Reuniclus has Overcoat.
