[Finished] Swinub

Proposed Sets

Set 1 : Master of Pokeball's
Ability: Thick Fat
Nature: Jolly
Item: Life Orb
IV spread: 31/31/31/x/31/31
Hidden Power: Not Relevant
Egg Moves:
-Freeze-Dry
-Icicle Spear
-Stealth Rock
-Icicle Crash

Naive, and freeze dry over double edge. It 2HKO's Rotom-W, one of its main checks, with only sixteen special attack investment. Adamant is just a little too slow either way.

Bleh, I wouldn't use a special move on Mamoswine honestly. I would go with Jolly, and also Body Slam instead of Double-Edge. Or Freeze-Dry if you want cause I doubt I'll really use Body Slam, but I really prefer jolly over naive cause I think Mamoswine needs its bulk.

Also, please take a minute to picture a jolly mammoth in your head.

There you go. You are convinced.

I kind of agree about the nature here, maybe put freeze-dry on in case anyone wants to re-breed for a naive? (with 60 base special defense it looks really frail if it had to come to special attackers already). About the egg moves though i will let everyone else decide since i really do not know


Also after picturing a Jolly Mammoth i agree even further.

Bunsel suggests you go mixed. If mixed would win, this means you might probably end up breeding another 6IV only shortly after the Doom Cake. Lol.

I think I run Jolly on my Mamoswine, I'm not so sure. I don't really see Mamoswine as a mixed attacker but it could work. Regardless, Freeze-Dry though is still a good egg move.

Please don't subject me to such torture again *Time to pray*

Notre Père, qui es aux cieux

I can help!   joking lol

I'm with Ms. C. A jolly jolly mamoswine running unstoppable towards you on slippery ice

You wouldn't really need to go full 6 IV. But in OU, probably the biggest stop (and one of a handful of pokes that resist ice and ground, maybe the only in OU) to a sweep is Rotom, and it's on every team. Being able to knock it out with some prediction will almost assuredly let you run rampant through everything else, and what other coverage move do you really need? Ice and ground are darn near perfect. Plus, defensive swampert, gyarados (which runs adamant and intimidate btw), gastrodon, among others can now not switch in hoping to tank a hit.

sure sounds like 6IV suggestion to me...

But seriously you probably shouldn't be leaving a pokemon with 60 base special defense (with the special defense being lowered)out against its best counter

Just because something can go mixed doesn't mean it should. If its special defense is lowered it can basically be taken out by anything that can hit specially :/

I think jolly with Freeze-Dry is a good idea, so like you said, if someone wants a mixed set they can breed it easily just by breeding with a Ditto of the nature they want.

fair

Yeah i think it's a good idea too


I can't believe it but this time it's totally not about me being lazy and not wanting to 6IV breed but actually about thinking it's better.

but... curse your logic... (hides my Jolly Mamoswine...)

That's fine, it's whatever you guys want. I have three different Mamoswine sets anyway, so my bases are covered.

I also think you should include freeze dry for its egg moves so people who want to breed a mixed set can just pass on the egg move.

Yeah, I agree with freeze dry instead of double edge, someone said that earlier.

Oh, I also vote for a jolly nature

Yeah, that's probably what most people agreed on so far

Totally ruined the point of my post and made you seem worse for it


Back to Neutrailty!

Oh no! the Poll is gone

where's the premier ball option

I deleted the poll because Dragon is the only one who has a right to choose the ball he's using. It's been clear since the beginning of the project that no pressuring about balls is to be done.

(And poke ball was winning so far, so no, I didn't delete it because I didn't want premier to win.)

But Potato, and ugotmybeef wouldve voted Premier so it wouldve ended up wining

But then I'd have voted for poke ball. O.o

lol MC said you would.


Maybe what i should do is breed the normal Swinub in a Pokeball and breed the Naive One that was suggested in a Premier Ball? I'd be willing to do the second one, but it would just mean that i may not get to do a second pokemon.

No Input means i take the lazy way out

I finished Swinub now

Make sure you update the first post before this is archieved.

Thanks for reminding me, it's updated.
