cleverguitar-29 OP

happykitten-50

If you want a dragonite counter, you already have sylveon

cleverguitar-29 OP

I want a more speed

cleverguitar-29 OP

If I don't eat as well as I'm good enough, she usually dies before attacking

happykitten-50

Then Garchomp outspends dragonite, frosslass is also very good

No worries!

happykitten-50

You could also build sylveon more defensively

@happykitten-50 Then Garchomp outspends dragonite, frosslass is also very good
cleverguitar-29 OP

@happykitten-50 You could also build sylveon more defensively
cleverguitar-29 OP

@cleverguitar-29 I use mega on them?
happykitten-50

Not garchomp, but frosslass yes

cleverguitar-29 OP

She*

@cleverguitar-29 He have hp and sp atack
happykitten-50

Take some special attack out and put it in defense

cleverguitar-29 OP

She helps in protecting the king by providing effective ground support, right?

happykitten-50

Also don’t play the scarf, play fairy feather

@happykitten-50 Also don’t play the scarf, play fairy feather
cleverguitar-29 OP

Because of Pixilate, I didn't know if it was showing up as a fairy or a normal

happykitten-50

Yeah silk scarf won’t work

happykitten-50

Fairy feather is better

cleverguitar-29 OP

Froslass and Scovillain would need a tank to function well in doubles, wouldn't they?

happykitten-50

Frosslass kind of yes
Scovillain IS the tank in doubles generally

@happykitten-50 Frosslass kind of yes Scovillain IS the tank in doubles generally
cleverguitar-29 OP

He is a Very good tank, only poses to Garchomp and dragonite in my elo

@cleverguitar-29 He is a Very good tank, only poses to Garchomp and dragonite in my elo
cleverguitar-29 OP

This i I write without translator

happykitten-50

Yeah ok
If you want beat those two with someone next to Scovillain, Sylveon should work fine

@happykitten-50 Yeah ok If you want beat those two with someone next to Scovillain, Sylveon should work fine
cleverguitar-29 OP

Pls build

cleverguitar-29 OP

Of sylveon

happykitten-50

Sylveon should be Hyper Voice, Hyper Beam, Protect, and your choice of quick attack or yawn

The item should be fairy feather

The stats should be 10 special attack, 32 defense, 24 hp. Modest nature

cleverguitar-29 OP

I'm just starting out in battles now; before, I played on a Minecraft server that only had singles.

@happykitten-50 Sylveon should be Hyper Voice, Hyper Beam, Protect, and your choice of quick attack or yawn The ite…
cleverguitar-29 OP

My have: hyper Voice, hyper Beam, protect and moonblast

@happykitten-50 Sylveon should be Hyper Voice, Hyper Beam, Protect, and your choice of quick attack or yawn The ite…
cleverguitar-29 OP

Okkk

happykitten-50

No need for moon last

@happykitten-50 No need for moon last
cleverguitar-29 OP

I put Quick atack?

@cleverguitar-29 I put Quick atack?
happykitten-50

Quick attack works! It is good priority and gets a power boost wihh to pixilate

cleverguitar-29 OP

Finally a priority atack that causes damage

happykitten-50

Yes

happykitten-50

You should only use it if you need to something quickly and they are very low go

happykitten-50

Cause it still isn’t that strong, sylveon has a very weak attack stat

cleverguitar-29 OP

Can we go to battle??

cleverguitar-29 OP

Going

cleverguitar-29 OP

Gonna

cleverguitar-29 OP

I don't know
