what kind
sorry I meant to write Icicle crash, I just didn't remember the move name :xConfirming that Ranger Mike runs Icicle Crash MMX.
My 6 Ray-M team was devastated and I had to switch to Physically Defensive Fur Coat from Specially defensive, so it can definitely take down 1 if it can sweep my entire team.
Edit: As for fur coat yvel, I believe Bolt Strike is the superior option. If you run Icicle Crash you barely get the 2hko with rocks (head-calc, correct if wrong)
Indeed it is weak to several common types, but take a hint. If one attack does around 70% and it's super effective, you're bound to switch if you can't outspeed and KO. The main point of my first post was to show that it could take many common attacks (it's not invincible after all ) and not a +6 boomburst.I wasn't really defending the set, just correcting the calculations, hence why I didn't argue beyond that. Looking at it again, it seems like one of those "nice on paper" sets, but it's weak to a lot of physical attacking types, namely Electric, Rock, Fairy, and Ice, and only neutral to the others, Fire, Fighting, Normal, 1k Arrows, Bug, Steel, occasionally Dragon, and Gyrados. Resists Dark, but even Giratina, Cress, and Lugia can take repeated Knock Offs after they've lost their item. So yeah, not really a set I'd defend beyond incorrect calcs.
I agree with Adrian, there are flaws, but the main point of this set is to predict an attack that would KO one of your Pokemon, switch into Yveltal, and absorb the attack. I should've specified, but this set isn't meant to stay in battle for extended periods of time.Oops yeah forgot Fur Coat. But yeah, I did talk with someone who did use that set, i.e. Adrian Marin, and he said it was flawed. That is saying a lot. Just let that sink in.
Also due to Fur Coat it would hate to be against a certain ability called "Mold Breaker." This means that almost anything with Mold Breaker and the appropriate attack stops it cold.
Also, about that set, I also feel uncomfortable seeing it without HP investment. I can't stand seeing a wall without HP investment. Also, as Adrian said, you don't have physical or special walls in BH, you have dedicated counters. That last point doesn't matter that much, but hey, it is always nice to know that. I forget that at times, and I am a real stall boner.
A legitimate question, what would be a good amount of HP EVs for it to run? And should I even have an attack investment at all?
