Nope! Reset :/ The special attack is too low and besides speed, is Darkrai's most important stat :)
I just wanted to say that if you don't need 252 Speed then you can move EVs from HP to Speed to make it like the Speed is flawless at the expense of HP. That would make this like it has an HP of 14 - 17. Also, checking what its Hidden Power is or using a Rare Candy can make it easier to find out what the IVs are. On the bright side, you don't seem to care about this one.
Toss. Sp. Atk is too low.
Much better! And well, Darkrai is frail by Ubers standards no matter what you do with it, unless you run some weird bulky slow set, but I don't see why you would. :)
As long as I can manage the EVs so that I outspeed Scarfed base 95s-99s after a Geomancy, I think this is golden. Worse comes to worse, I have two more opportunities with the Shiny event to get it right.
Not really. The HP and defense are too low and the attack is irrelevant of course. Go for another! :)
Personally I'd say that's good enough, I'd probably run some VGC calcs just in case it matters for a couple freak circumstances and you might want to compete with Xern someday, but 30/29 is plenty good in my opinion, 31 vs 30 for HP is literally just 1 HP difference so you'll almost never see it matter. Main thing is that it's Timid instead of Modest, which is better for GeoXern especially, since it's already more than fast enough at +2 with a neutral nature and having more SpA is better.
Yeah I kept it :)
Yeah! If you're going with that spread, then keep! You only sacrifice a few EVs elsewhere to make up for the 3 hard points in speed. But about speed ties, it's not that you should rely on them, but when one can possibly be in your favor, it's useful. Like of course you would want to rely on a speed tie with something when either one of you can KO the other, since that puts you or your opponent at a severe disadvantage just due to a coin flip. But usually a full health Manaphy is hard to one-shot with something that normally speed ties it, so a speed tie can sometimes be okay I think!
Yeah that's a valid point. I can see your reasoning regarding the benefits to maxing speed and understand why people would want to go for it on reflection, but I don't think it suits my style of play. The team I have in mind is pretty bulky, and I think the semi-bulky spread compliments it best after mulling it over. Thanks a lot for your input!
HP: 30-31
At level 50, what's the difference in SDef from 31 to 18?
You lose 6 points of SDef at level 50.
Thanks. I think I don't demand that much. If speed is 31, I'll get it.
