Just got a modest one while breeding, should I keep it or

I like timid myself but you have yourself a fine taste overall, OP.

>>31558934
just make sure to speed creep things like lando and fini and you'll be ok

>>31558934
Don't listen to smogon. Go jolly. Poison jab, sucker punch, ice punch and earthquake. Much better and unexpected

You know there's a reason physical isn't used. Because it's shit. Has nothing to do with smogon, it's basic common sense. And to OP, definitely go timid.

What exactly makes Nidoking good?

>>31559198
Oh shit, I forgot it gets Sheer Force. Nevermind.

>X used Will o Wisp!
Go special

>It's bad because it's not conventional!

>>31559120
sounds feasible, but I'd stick with special since it gets more moves boosted by Sheer Force

>>31559596
also slap an ass vest on it, just realized gen 6 made sheer force nidoking even more hardcore with the addition of ass vest

Life orb is better since sheer force removes its recoil if you use a move that sheer force affects.

>>31559659
odd, I don't remember sheer force affecting LO recoil in Gen 5, that was the last time I used sheer force nidoking online, been too busy with college for most of gen 6 and wifi was very unstable the first few years

>>31558934
The best nature/set i've used is

Rash nature @ life orb: 252 sp.attack 252 speed 4 atrack

Earth power
Sludge wave
Ice beam
Sucker punch

>>31559671
it definitely feels like something that wasn't intended but they can't go back on it now so they're just leaving it

>>31559592
It's bad because burn exists and is saturated on every level of the meta.

>>31559592

If you want to use a physical Sheer Force mon, use Darmanitan or Feraligatr instead. They have better physical moves to do so.

I like it modest because it's meant to be a wall breaker. Also you might decide to scarf it and modest is better for that too.
