31/31/29/22/31/12 Adamant Technician Scizor (I like this guy but how important is speed?)

Any of those worth stopping for or keep going?

21/31/28/30/21/31 Adamant Technician Scizor

14/31/31/8/31/31 - Adamant Technician Scizor
31/31/22/8/18/31 Adamant Technician Scizor
27/31/21/21/28/31 Adamant Technician Scizor
31/31/29/22/31/12 Adamant Technician Scizor

I'd use the one in bold if I were you. I bred one with those IVs. Granted, I think the defenses were better. Here are the IVs it had:

Scyther - #123 (Adamant): 31 / 31 / 24 - 25 / 30 - 31 / 18 - 19 / 31
Scyther - #123 (Careful): 27 - 29 / 31 / 31 / 20 - 23 / 30 / 7 - 8

Yeah, they are the two I bred. The first was what I was going for, the second happened by accident. I kept them both as they were both amazing.

So 31 Speed is important for a Scizor?

[Laprabi]

It really depends on what set. If you're investing in a stat, you always want to have 31 IV in that stat. If you're running a Choice Scarf or Swords Dance, you'll need 31 Speed. It's nice to have with the Choice Band set too, as without it, you'll have to invest more EVs in Speed to hit that benchmark, which means you'll have to take EVs out of Attack or HP.

31/31/22/5/31/31 Adamant Technician Scizor

Finally, paid off!

Also got a:
31/31/31/22/19/31 Adamant Technician Scizor

Decided to go with the first, more special resists to work off of, like Grass.

31/31/20/31/20/31 Timid Natural Cure Staryu

Starmie @ Life Orb
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk)
- Blizzard
- Hydro Pump
- Thunderbolt
- Rapid Spin

How's this look? It's for a Hail team. Are the IVs good?

These have any purpose?

21/31/31/20/29/31 Jolly Sand Veil Gligar
31/12/30/21/31/20 Calm Own Tempo Slowpoke
31/31/31/22/26/31 Jolly Gible. Within 20 eggs, too...

[f3raligatr]

Overgrow
Timd Nature [+Spd / -Atk]
IVs; 31 / 10 / 30 / 31 / 31 / 28
UT @ Lv 1
Tackle | Leaf Storm | Curse


It's either that, or one with 31/13/31/31/26/29

Can either work or does that Speed need to be flawless more than the defences?

[Lord Raven]

what are you planning on using it as?

[f3raligatr]

The first one has HP Electric 64. The second has Steel, which is pointless.

Using it as a Life Orb user with Synthesis / Sleep Powder / Sludge Bomb / Leaf Storm.

31/31/18/21/19/31 Jolly Poison Heal Shroomish (Female)
31/31/22/15/15/31 Jolly Poison Heal Shroomish (Male)

It's for a Facade set that'll be BPed to. Defenses make me depressed.

[saillith]

I have literally just started with this breeding lark...and I got this =>


Intimidate
Modest Nature [+Sp.Atk -Atk]
IVs: 30/7/25/15/31/30
Untrained (Lv1)
Wrap, Sludge Bomb, Leer

Not too bad for my first try I guess ^-^

[Enigma]

^that's awesome, especially for your first proper IV Pokemon =P

Got an idea of what set you're going for?

[Sino Morior]

IVs: 30/7/25/15/31/30

Um... this isn't hoping to attack anything is it?

[saillith]

^that's awesome, especially for your first proper IV Pokemon =P

Got an idea of what set you're going for?

I was hoping to go with my own little set =P

Putting Toxic on...cos it's Toxic xD and Glare perhaps should I come across anything faster than myself...then of course Sludge Bomb as its STAB attack considering it's poor attack IVs and attack hindering nature...this ones more suited to Special Attacking methinks => Then perhaps Stockpile to boost my own defenses considering Arbok's are pretty poor overall.

Thats what I've thought of from the top of my head anyway xD No idea if it'll actually work in practice. Only time will tell =>

EDIT:
Time DID tell...and that Ekans who is now an Arbok was a bit of a flop xDD Its highest stat at LV100 was its Speed which only came in at 245 =S

Soo...I tried breeding again...and I have been blessed with this little beauty <3


Shed Skin
Adamant [+Atk -Sp.Atk]
IV's: 31/20/23/31/31/31
Untrained (Lv1)
Wrap, Leer

[Sino Morior]

31/20/23/31/31/31 is pretty good, the attack is meh, but defensively he's amazing. What set are you planning?

[saillith]

I...I honestly don't know ^^;;

I'm actually a bit afraid to touch him in case I completely ruin him like I did the last time xDD

Any suggestions?
