What natures should I be going for on UBs in Sun for VGC/doubles?
>>30408846
Nihilego can go Modest, Timid or a +sdef nature
Buzzwole can go Adamant, Brave or Careful for Bulk Up + Recovery
Kartana must be Jolly
Either Modest or Timid Xurkitree
I genuinely don't know about Guzzlord
>>30408994
Thanks mate
Time to go hunt some synchronize Abra
which intimidiate user is good in the current VGC meta?
>>30410123
You can never go wrong with Gyarados, specially since people are realizing TapuChu was a meme.
Arcanine will likely also see use, but probably not as much.
>>30410267
So should i go for tank set gyarados or jolly nature gyarados with max hp and speed?
>>30410295
It'd depend on your team I suppose. I personally hate Celesteela so I've been running bulkydos with Taunt.
>>30410377
Gyarados @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 180 Atk / 52 Def / 24 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Waterfall
- Ice Fang / Eartquake
- Protect
- Taunt
I'm actually planning to build a gyarados that can act as a tank overall and checks on Celesteela like yours too. Is my Gyarados' stats good?
>>30410424
Make sure your EVs are divisible by 8, otherwise you waste a couple of points (because of level 50). Other than that, looks mostly fine. Why that particular spread?

here are the list of calculations which i'm looking out on. It took me quite a while to figure on how i should ev train my bulky gyarados. Do you think I should add the move Dragon dance? Your recommendation is kindly appreciated.
>>30408846
Who is this semen demen?
>>30410892
Anabel
>>30410620
Looks pretty good desu
I enjoy having DD, even with Bulu and Chomp running around, I usually have other ways to deal with them. Ice Fang just usually doesn't see that much use from my end.
>>30412028
Can you give your suggestions on my movesets? Because I do plan on using DD but not sure which to swap out.
>>30412142
I like going
-Waterfall
-Protect
-DD
-I used to run TWave here since I ran Liepard as well, but the nerf to TWave and Liepard being unavailable this year means I'll probably use Taunt
>>30412965
thanks bro! So is wise for me to use my bulky spread along with the following moveset you had posted here>>30412965?
