Max HP/Def with a Bold Nature would work, I guess.

[Richard and Blaziken]

The standard EV spread for Bold is 248 HP/ 216 Defense/ 44 Speed, as it allows Jellicent to outspeed Scizor.

84 Speed EVs can be used to outspeed Skarmory and Taunt it, rendering it completely useless.

i think nigfht shade is jellicents best attack scald barely does anything without evs and you alraady have toxic. there isnt normal types in ou apart from bliss who h8s taunt

[Spriter]

^Scald has a chance to burn, and prevents you from being Taunt bait.

[diplodocus]

but he said he didnt want conflicting status and night shade isn'ttaunt bate

[Liam]

For night shade to be any use at all I have to be lv100; which I am probably not going to do. Scald is overall the better choice. P:

Thanks for your ideas

[diplodocus]

i still disagreecoz if ur playing battle subway ull be lvl 50 and so will ur opponetn so itll be the same %. scald is probly better for evt raing but after that n ight shade wil be more consitent

[Liam]

Scald has STAB and the chance to be SE while nightshade doesn't. Scald's ability to completely shut down physical sweepers outweighs Night shade's use. Thanks anyway.

[diplodocus]

if u wana shut down phyiscal sweepers then just use wil-wisp, taunt, recover, night shade. sclad isnt good for jelli cuz ur using it for the burn when u can just use wil-owisp.

[Liam]

Scald does damage while WoW does not. That means I have to rely on night shade which takes up an extra moveslot when I can put Toxic there. Night shade means I'm walled by normal types if I have to rely on burning them rather than burning them AND doing damage. Your claim that Scald isn't good on Jellicent is absoolutely ridiculous.

[diplodocus]

u said b4 that u didnt want toxic and scald coz of the conflictinig status and now ur using it justbecause i sujest something diferent. it does work ive been using night shade on jelli ages since i reelised it scald just gave free switches to stuf like gyarados, dragonite, hydragon, tyranitar when wil o wisp would stop them all. u say normals cant get hurt but there are realy no good normal types xcept for blssey and chansey who jelli outspeeds and taunts! night shade, taunt, wow, recover, at least try it b4 geting all agro

[Liam]

I'm not getting all aggro. =P

I'm not using Toxic and Scald on the same set just because you suggested something else. I gladly accepted your guidance but I preferred to go down the route of a double status. I didn't say I didn't want Toxic and Scald on the same set, I just said that I was concerned about it, which I no longer am. Please read what I say. I'm sure that your set works fine but my set also works fine, and I believe that Scald is a better move in this situation seeing that Night Shade won't be dealing out much damage when I'm only lv50. =P

Also, Scald does not give free switches to physical sweepers like Gyarados and Tyranitar who are both afraid of a burn. Hydreigon can be dealt with by my synergy with Ferrothorn.

Also I think I speak for everyone when I say that we'd appreciate if you talked normally. =s

[Normandy]

I was wondering what a good moveset for an Adamant/Impish Cloud Nine Lickilicky.

[f3raligatr]

Several thoughts (seeing I've been bitten by the Pokébug again);

~ Does Taunt hit through Subsitutes?

~ Does Cofagrigus' Mummy ability pass on if it's him himself attacking the opponet? So if I was to use a physical contact move on my opponent, would that pass on, or do I need to be attacked the target?

[Spriter]

Here are the answers:

1.Taunt does hit through Substitute.

2.No, only the foe can attack and recieve the ability.
