Is it just me, or is it silly to bolster you defenses with no way to recover? There isn't even a mention of Roost in what you've got there, even though that's what every Sigilyph I've ever seen has Roost. In addition, isn't Toxic slightly counter-productive if you're Psycho Shifting burns? Also, I think it may be a good idea, if you aren't for outrunning/tying with AxeFace, to at least outrun base 90's like Lucario, or even base-92's like Krookodile, as those threats burned helps the rest of your team.[Set]

Just thoughts. Speed is good - that's what makes this guy different from Reuniclus.
Thank you. As for the toxic/flame orb, it's to prevent the foe from giving you another status condition. You could use Leftovers but that makes you reliant on your foe for the burn or poison.thaaaat.....is actually a great idea. and good sets. thanks :3
and why the toxic/flame orb? there is no psycho shift on this set.
Xatu can do it all.Is your first set legal? Assist Power, Roost, and Psycho Shift are all breeding moves, and Sigilyph has two moves at level one. Or is it possible by breeding a female Sigilyph with Roost with a Male Xatu with Roost, Assist Power and Phycho Shift?
Gravity, I can see. Trick Room, a minimum speed of 179 isn't going to get you far but if Gallade can do it, so can you.EDIT: Oh, and just like Sigilyph has a niche in gravity teams, he also has a unique niche in Trick Room teams as well, so that's worth a mention probably in the team options set?
Magic Guard doesn't prevent status, it makes you immune to damage from it. Therefore Parachomp meant that having a status would prevent it from things like freeze and sleep.lol. i want askin for QC rsults already, but thats fine with me :D
and parachomp, you said that you would use the toxic/flame orb as protection as other status conditions. sigilyph with magic gaurd cant get a status condition.
and PK gaming, thanks :D ill use (possibly make small changes) to those EVs
haha Eos, thanks for the compliments :)
On top of that, everyone recommended you to get rid of the Calm Mind set. Maybe include the possibility of one in the Optional Changes section.Magic Guard doesn't prevent status, it makes you immune to damage from it.

that could be a very good idea. and i could also inculde sets like gravity and trick room in it. thanks for the idea :)On top of that, everyone recommended you to get rid of the Calm Mind set. Maybe include the possibility of one in the Optional Changes section.
Regarding the usual Cosmic Power/Assist Power/Roost/Psycho Shift Burn orb set:I'm not too crazy about Sigilyph competitively, even though it's one of my favorite Pokemon, but here's a question to ask during the EV spread dispute: what opponent does Sigilyph need to outspeed badly to do its strategy safely and viable? Jolly Tyranitar as of now is uncommon due to an abundance of Specially Defensive sets / Choice sets, and while Breloom doesn't sound too bad, Sigilyph needs to deal with faster threats.
There's no rule about this. Plenty of Pokemon are effective in OU for only one role, such as Cloyster. Those Pokemon tend not to make OU, but that doesn't stop them from having an OU analysis.okayt, the Dual Screen set shall be gone. but then i have an issue that i only have one set, and i thought i was supposed to have minimum two sets?

[Set Comments]
- This set utilizes the full potential of Cosmic Power. With already above average bulk, Cosmic Power makes this pokemon almost untouchable, and Assist Power just adds to that in a great way. Since it becomes more poweful the more stat boosts you have, the more higher your stats are boosted, the more power Assist Power will deal to the opponent. This set needs the move Roost alot, because any time your low on health, you can easily heal up and ts as if you just sent Sigilyph in, except it aleady has the boosted stats. Psycho Shift is easily one of the most important move to this set, as it also allows status inducing on the opponents pokemon. Since the majority of attackers in Gen 5 is Physical, burn is definitely the right choice as it halves the attack of the opponents pokemon and i also nibbles away the opponents health little by little. 252 Hp is just there for increasing the bulk of this pokemon by alot, since Hp is like Defense and Special Defense mixed. Those 200 Def EVs help you wall the majority of physical attackers, which will help you when your setting up those Cosmic Powers.
