    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

  • Yeah it's definitely Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
    And frankly it better be, the wholve video first time was pretty much just "OMG IT'S JUST SHIT".
    'Kay, just lemme finish this Battle Factory streak. I'm at battle 6 right now, so it should be over quick.
    Hey~ Finally got back on the computer OTL;; Sorry for the delay, but I was sick and then the internet randomly died... yeah.

    Anyway, I can trade practically anytime today~ Breeding will take at least a week, though, because my mom's all NO VIDEO GAMES ON WEEKDAYS. So yeah, if you wouldn't mind the wait...?
    I would watch that but my headphones are in a box packed for uni and I'm meant to be asleep
    I will agree or disagree with you tomorrow
    Alright~ I guess I'll trade you a random something for the Gabite, then. Also, I forgot to tell you, but Garchomp only gets Swords Dance, and not Dragon Dance. :x Also, if you feel the need to replace something with Swellow, then tell me, and I can get it trained up in a hurry~

    Ehh... I'm a bit busier tomorrow. After 5 should be fine with me.
    Crap, sorry. :| Stuff came up yesterday so I couldn't get online.

    Well, Swellow might be UU, but it still hits like a truck. A Brave Bird (assuming max attack with Jolly) while Swellow is poisoned will be a guaranteed OHKO on Froslass if it doesn't have any EVs in defense. Actually, thanks to its ability, it effectively has 127.5 base attack. 125 base speed is enough to outspeed every single non-Uber Pokemon except Ninjask (who can't really do much, as the two Ninjasks' strongest move, Aerial Ace, will do 57.5% damage at most), Electrode and Jolteon, who are both OHKO'd by Facade or completely walled by Garchomp (even the Exploding Electrode will do a maximum of 71% damage), Crobat, only one of which poses a problem (the one with the Razor Claw and Brave Bird, as that will have a chance of OHKOing Swellow. The Hypnosis one doesn't pose a problem because you'll already be statused), and Aerodactyl. Aerodactyl will likely be the only Pokemon that'll give you trouble, since Swellow can't do much and it can outspeed and OHKO Starmie. Garchomp can come in, take any hit, and revenge kill, though. There's only one Aerodactyl set that can OHKO Garchomp (Ice Fang), and that only has a chance to.

    Conveniently, no Pokemon (in terms of speed) between Swellow and Starmie are Rock-typed, and Swellow can OHKO them all with Facade. You don't have to risk a speed tie with Weavile, because none are maxed out in speed. The reason why Swellow is in UU is because of its lack of coverage - it has no way to scratch Steel or Rock types, but that's what you have Starmie and Garchomp for. ...oh, and conveniently, none of the Jolteon have maxed speed, so Swellow can outspeed those, too, apparently. Of course, some of the EV spreads may be wrong, but...!

    ... phew. Wasn't planning for this to become that long. xD
    I have an orientation meeting tomorrow, so I can only trade after... 2? 3pm? Something like that.

    I could give you one of my other perfect attack-speed Jolly Taillow, though, in case you want it. :P They're pretty beast if you give them Facade and a Toxic Orb.
