ok thanks for the info. Then is there any way to get a legal celebi with the desired iv's? and i realize that all celebi's now are events but i don't know how to make a legal looking event pokemon.

hi im having trouble making a perfectly legal celebi as i don't really know the correct event or date when i would have recieved it and i can't seem to find one with the correct IV's. Thanks in advance

thanks very much for the advice. i've done exactly as you said and it seems to be working very well

i've been playing shoddy for a little while and iv come to the point where im only winning about half of my battles and i don't know what to change. any advice that you guys can give is greatly appreciated so here's the latest revision of my team: Infernape (M) @ Focus Sash Ability: Blaze EVs: 64 Atk/192 Spd/252 SAtk Hasty nature (+Spd, -Def) - Fake Out - Stealth Rock - Fire Blast - Close Combat ---lead: fake out first then stealth rock. i've really gotten to like this lead because of its reliability and good type coverage against other leads. Suicune @ Leftovers Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 Spd Bold nature (+Def, -Atk) - Calm Mind - Rest - Sleep Talk - Surf ---wall/calm mind sweeper. im not so sure about suicune's synergy with this team. i previously had starmie in this spot. Gengar (M) @ Life Orb Ability: Levitate EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Energy Ball - Shadow Ball - Focus Blast - Thunderbolt ---great type coverage with this set plus immunity to ground and fighting Tyranitar (M) @ Life Orb Ability: Sand Stream EVs: 160 HP/252 Atk/96 Spd Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Stone Edge - Pursuit - Crunch - Aqua Tail ---my sweeper. tyranitar usually does a pretty good job with the heavy hitting Dusknoir (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 HP/28 Atk/228 Def Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Will-o-wisp - Pain Split - Ice Punch - Fire Punch ---my main physical/special wall Scizor (M) @ Life Orb Ability: Technician EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 Spd Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - U-turn - Bullet Punch - Superpower - Pursuit ---pretty much the standard revenge killer for OU though i am definitely considering switching him out for a weavile because i don't have much of a counter to dragon types

hey im new to this forum and to shoddy battling but i have been playing frequently to get used to it. this is my first try on an OU team and any suggestions would be great :smile: ok heres my team: Azelf @ Focus Sash Ability: Levitate EVs: 4 Atk/252 Spd/252 SAtk Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef) - Stealth Rock - Psychic - Explosion - Fire Blast my stealth rock lead. he seems to do his job pretty well though he tends to be more of a suicide lead than anything --- Heatran (M) @ Choice Scarf Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 6 Atk/252 Spd/252 SAtk Naive nature (+Spd, -SDef) - Fire Blast - Earth Power - Explosion - Dragon Pulse i usually use heatran as a counter to the ever popular scizor and i like switching him into other fire types so i can activate flash fire. --- Jolteon (M) @ Choice Specs Ability: Volt Absorb EVs: 4 Def/252 Spd/252 SAtk Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Thunderbolt - Hidden Power [ice] - Shadow Ball - Baton Pass I absolutely love jolteon with its 130 speed and thunderbolt stab it works pretty well for taking down gyrados and starmie's --- Weavile (M) @ Choice Band Ability: Pressure EVs: 40 HP/252 Atk/2 Def/216 Spd Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Ice Shard - Ice Punch - Pursuit - Brick Break Weavile is my primary revenge killer. i use ice shard for stopping salamence and other dragon rampages mostly. --- Blissey (F) @ Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SDef Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk) - Softboiled - Protect - Flamethrower - Toxic probably the most common wall in the game. i don't know if there's a wall that may work better for this team or not but its usually pretty reliable. --- Kingdra (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Swift Swim EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Dragon Dance - Waterfall - Outrage - Substitute kingdra does a great job as a mid game sweeper for me with its great type coverage. if it gets the chance to set up substitute and a couple dragon dances it almost always ko's at least 3 oppenent pokemon ---
