    Quick question. In Soul Silver, when you're looking for Latios, is his nature set when you first encounter him, or when you first hear about it from Steven? I've been thinking about getting one for the upcoming VGCs to replace Eelektross.

    Short answer: No.
    Lopng Answer: Most things in ubers have about 90ish speed or so while Mewtwo clocks in at 130. Electro Ball only causes decent damage if the target has 33% of the user's speed or less meaning anything above 65 base speed takes a 60 power attack, 43-60 take an 80 power attack, 32-43 take a 120 power attack and anything below 32 gets a 150 power Electro Ball.
    Even at maximum power a neutral Psytrike does the same damage(assuming the same defensive stats). And how many pokemon viable in Uber have less than 32 Speed. Ferrothorn and... oh wait, that's it. Even then Ferro resists Electro Ball and should be more scared of Aura Sphere or Flamethrower and...
    It's useless, don't bother. Just use Thunder or something.

    Why did they even bother giving Mewtwo Electro Ball? It doesn't make any sense. What was the point of it? Is there some link to the show or a movie or something I'm missing here?

    Probably. It's just a gimmeck move that serves no real comparative purpose so it must link to a movie. Thunderbolt is way better in competitive play as it hits consistently.

    Leftovers is superior to the Big Root in pretty much every situation.

        Spoiler:- My current team:


    I'd like to replace Garchomp with something so I can use this team in standard OU. I have just a couple of caveats.

    1. I'd like to replace her with another Choice Band user
    2. I'd like to replace her with another Ground type, or Earthquake user
    3. Preferably something over base 100 Speed, or with a STAB priority attack

    I've been thinking about a couple of different things. These are the sets I have in mind, but any suggestions on what to use would be appreciated.

        Spoiler:- Sets I'm considering:


    Any suggestions on what to replace Garchomp with would be appreciated. I just want something that can pack a wallop with Choice Band and is preferably Ground. Thanks in advance.

    Out of the choices you're considering I'd personally pick Mamoswine

    I vote scizor, but mamoswine could be a better choice if you really have a problem with dragons.

    Can I still use vulpix in UU? I heard people were considering moving it because of the amount of fire types that can abuse the sun so just curios if I can, and also can someone explain to me pokemon in limbo the darmanitan?

    I can't decide on which to use.

    Arcanine@Air balloon
    252att/252speed/adamant
    -Flame Charge
    -Flare Blitz
    -Wild Charge/Crunch
    -Close Combat

    Or...

    Magmortar@Airballoons
    252sp.att/252spe/Modest
    -Flame Charge
    -Fire Blast
    -Thunderbolt
    -Focus Blast

    Magmortar hits harder, and I only have one other specially based pokemon on my team. However, Arcanine has a more accurate fighting attack and better bulk.

    After using say a Fire Gem in a Wi-Fi battle, is it really used or just for the one battle?

    Mamoswine can't use Thick Fat with Ice Shard, as the DW Mamoswine came as a Mamoswine, not a Swinub. Only Swinub learns Ice Shard, so obviously, this is a problem.

    Which is why I'd opt for Snow Cloak. If DW Swinub was ever released normally, I'd go for that, but in the mean time I'd have to use Snow Cloak.

    I think it is between Scizor or Mamoswine, in that order. Not entirely sure which to pick, but I'm in no rush. Thanks for the suggestions.
