Screens are better on fast pokemon

yes my xatu is fast

Are you setting up for shell smash sweep on crustle

no

metagross is probably my best candidate for sweeping

but crustle could work too

the reason why I prefer the metagross is because he's already rather bulky on his own

What does metagross do in gen 5

31 HP IV

eq smart strike zen headbutt swords dance

that's my set

Oh, I didn't know blazeblack fucked with movesets that much

bro

it do

it really do

Those are all legal moves, dude

oh I'm retarded

nothing has changed

but yeah

it does fuck with movesets

You could do SD + bullet punch on metagross, or SD + agility

well

I don't actually have SD yet but I am using agility

Metagross is one of those mons that's dangerous on paper, but in practice it has no consistent boosting moves so it does a more utility role

yeah I can see that

if I can find something that does baton pass maybe I can pull some shenanigans with billy

If xatu is screens will the entire team just be physical

that's what I'm deciding on

It shouldn't matter for in-game really

I feel like setting dual screens and tailwind takes too long

dual screens tailwind u-turn lol

You only have like 1 screens abuser

if I make it reflect I can use the xatu as the screens abuser

What do you think of sigilyph

I've never used one before but is it just better xatu

Xatu has magic bounce, great for competitive but idk how often it matters in this

magic bounce

literally carried me through clay

and continues to be useful

Psycho shift + flame orb (so that orb you bought won't be wasted now), then you use roost, stored power, and either cosmic power or calm mind

well if stored power then you do cosmic power

that's just kind of a given

It's if you want immediate power or not

Even at max power a lack of spA boosts can be underwhelming

understandable

You're walled by darks, so you have to burn stall with psycho shift

what does psycho shift do again

Transfers your status onto the target

ah

And since you have magic guard burn won't hurt you

oh interesting

where do I find a sigilyph

this is the first time I've ever played gen 5

Desert

I think it's in the temple

relic castle?

or desert area

Yeah

Castle

gotcha

It's supposed to be an animated vase or something

it looks like a drum to me

like the bad guys from donkey kong country returns

gent

help me solve this riddle

Man, skyla looks easier than clay

alomomola

resists steel

but takes neutral from ground fighting

what the fuck type is it

Water

water resists steel?

Yes

oh

I did not know that

Something about rust is the reasoning, probably

I love rust

also each screen in the nymbasa pokemon center costs 30k

guess I really am just getting one of them
