I'm assuming Xatu is Impish and 31 Atk IV on accident? If you're going to run Giga Drain on him, you probably shouldn't cut into his already meager special attack stat. And obviously, the 0 IV attack is just for the off-chance you run into a Foul Play. With 0- IV and 248/252+ physical defense...

As far as RU is turning out, there's a lot of surprises in store. Raikou making it down and not Jolteon being a welcome surprise. AV Tangrowth will certainly be a fun wall to run, and I can finally use Banette-Mega where he's viable! Considering that Reuniclus also made it down here as well, I'd...

Whoops. The data in the RU beta thread said it had usage. I guess it was left over from when it was still UU. My mistake, then. Good. Good... That seriously screwed with my head.

How has Keldeo made it all the way down to RU? I know its been bullied away from the top 10 this gen, but its not *that* unplayable, is it?

There must have been some mistake. I was looking at pre-Bank. If Serebii is to be believed, its not available yet.

How is Custap Berry being used on Skarmory when it isn't available yet?

That's very different, though. The only major change is the addition of a Fairy type. Why would I use Clefable if I could use Togekiss or Gardevoir? I don't see any major benefit to using Clefable in the tiers that Scizor will appear in.

I don't understand the requirement of being able to OHKO Clefable. Is that really an important threat that needs to be taken care of? I know its the only Fairy with Magic Guard, but I used Clefable a lot in previous gens with very little success.

Is a Mixed set no longer viable? Hydreigon @ Choice Scarf/Life Orb Ability: Levitate EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spe Rash/Mild Nature - Dark Pulse - Draco Meteor - Fire Blast/Flash Cannon/Focus Blast - U-Turn Other than Nasty Plot Togekiss (and maybe SD Mawile-M), I don't think any of the Fairy...

I am Rapid Spin Greninja.

The calculations are for a Virizion using the 31 Speed IVs. If it runs max speed and 31 Speed IVs, it ties with the threats I mentioned. The post was mainly to say that you might not need a full 252 speed EVs, since matching their speed doesn't seem important. I guess what I should've said is...

Sorry for the bump, but I believe I have an important point to bring up. If this thread is accurate, the speed EVs need to be changed. On the Calm Mind set, with Hidden Power Ice, if you opt to use the 30 Spd IV over the 30 Atk / 30 Def IVs, then he won't be able to match any of the fellow...
