Been playing OU with this setup for a while.

Kinda.
You shouldn't rely on an attack with such an error margin even with 20%+ accuracy.

I know I'm risking a lot. Kinda like running Focus Blast. What do you suggest, Anon?

>>30841639
>It has the same accuracy as Thunder with Zoom Lens
oh honey

>>30841951
Personally I'm running:

Vikavolt with Choice Specs
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature

Thunderbolt
Bug Buzz
Hidden Power [Ice]
Volt Switch

Considering how hard is to get an specific HP you might as well use Roost in its place or another coverage move.

>>30842022
???

>>30841639
It just need Compound Eyes and he's ready to go.

>>30842253
Its 0.5*1.2 not 0.5+0.2 you stupid idiot

>>30842437
>If the holder moves last, its accuracy is increased by 20%

>Zap Cannon Accuracy is 50%

Do your math again before you call someone a stupid idiot.

>>30842536
20% of 50% is just 10%, so it ends up being 60% accurate, not 70%

>>30842589
Understandable. Thank you for having a respectable response and answer, Anon.

>>30842536
Zoom lens is multiplicative, not additive.

Zap Cannon is 50 accuracy.
So you take 20% of 50 which is: 10%

Then you add 10% + 50 = 60% accuracy for Zap Cannon.

You don't add 20% and 50% together.
That's like a 15% tip for a $50 dollar meal. You don't pay $65.

>>30842053
Flash Cannon is nice on it, I've been shutting down Rock types in the battle tree with it

>>30842712
And how well does it survive?

>>30842053
Timid on a mon this slow? please explain. I'm genuinely curious

>>30842742
Decently, but mine has 31 IVs in everything, not sure how much of a difference that makes

>>30842784
>Timid
It's better to outspeed whatever you can than outspeed nothing.

>>30842855
Vikavolt user here.
Bold Nature

252 HP
252 Defense
4 Sp Attack

Some times bulk is better than speed.

>>30844515
How well does your Vikavolt do? I like bulky builds on Pokemon, and I was really excited when I saw Vikavolt's design. Due to the stupidity of the evolution condition, I hadn't gone for one in the main game, and I haven't experimented with it yet.

>>30845210
Vikavolt already hits hard with a base special attack of 145. With all of my investments in HP and +Defense, Vikavolt is surprisingly bulk as hell for me.

> It has taken multiple non STAB Stone Edges/Rock Slides without fainting.

>Bug Buzz hits non type resistant opponents hard. 2HKO'd Garchomp once.

>Flash Cannon completely destroys Rock types.

The only thing that stops Vikavolt are
> Rock Types with a Base Stat of 130 with Stone Edge
> Rock Wrecker, Head Smash, and Stealth Rock
> Fire Types with high Sp. Attack
> Any Fire Moves with a Base Power of +120

>>30845419
What item do you use? Assault Vest?

>>30845210
Eviolite charjabug is a beast.

>>30845431
For a while I was using a Zoom Lens for Zap Cannon like >>30841639

Life Orb or Leftovers if I'm running Roost.
Assault Vest if I don't have Roost.

I like the agility set, because it lets me outrun base 130s with a timid nature.

>>30845419
Why use Flash Cannon over Energy Ball for rock types? It also lets you hit ground for SE, lets you murder water/ground types and the only thing you lose out on hitting are pure fairy types.

>>30845575
I completely forgot about Energy Ball. Thanks, Anon!
