Omg thank you.

That set's fine with me. The only really important move is Stealth Rock. Maybe I'd do Rock Blast instead of either Wide Guard, Curse or Counter, but really it's up to you, just pick the moves that are easiest for you to get so that we can finally get this thing done XD

What about Guard Split for doubles/triples?

I like those 4 honestly. Curse could at least be used to boost defense,actually, if it learns metal burst, I think counter could be replaced.

I think Wide Guard sees more usage in doubles/triples than Guard Split to avoid common multi-hit moves like Rock Slide, Earthquake, or Dazzling Gleam. Bastiodon also learns Metal Burst naturally but I could probably replace Counter for Rock Blast.

Stealth Rock is indeed the most important egg move there though.

Stealth Rocks, Wide Guard, Rock Blast and Curse would work. But like I said, if 2 moves are almost equally useful, just pick the one that's easier for you to get.

Yes, I will.

By the way, I just noticed the «Thank You» banner. Lol. Thanks!

And in case there's any confusion, you can start anytime. Careful is best, not much debate with egg moves. If MC agrees, go ahead.

Yeah, screw the 48 hour delay XD

Alright. That's cool.

I'll start collecting egg moves later so that I can get started by tomorrow and hopefully have this finished by Saturday.

Its so weak that even Rock Blast might not help you get past Subs unless you set up alot.

I'd argue Guard Split or Body Slam over Rock Blast and possibly Sassy nature since its so slow.

Nah, definitely Careful.

And I'd rather trust Smogon on this one and go with Rock Blast, but if everyone prefers Guard Split that's fine.

I also think Guard Split is better...

Alright. Let's put up a poll for the last egg move.

I'd go for Careful too for the nature.

Guard split, though, only averages out defense. You'll probably get less of a boost than just baton passing a stockpile. Curse with rock blast could work well enough. There are some low tier things that run sub to beat stuff, and ice types are pretty common too. This thing is so slow, guard split counts on the frail thing you want to boost living two hits, and that's not gonna happen.

Alright. I got lucky. Got a 6IV.
