Sorry.. there you go

ironpanther-10

Do you need the 4atk points+charme for something calculated?

ironpanther-10

If so, I'd remove 2hp points, instead of speed points

ironpanther-10

mega raptor usually wants all the speed it can get

gentlecopper-81 OP

Needed something for attack in case I am not able to put charm up

gentlecopper-81 OP

Hmmm ok. Thanks for that

gentlecopper-81 OP

Is it ok if I just have 2 attack IVs.

ironpanther-10

What about the gambit? black glasses 198 atk, does suckerpunch ohkos bascu here?

@gentlecopper-81 Is it ok if I just have 2 attack IVs.
ironpanther-10

gentlecopper-81 OP

Should KO scarf bascu, but not bulky ones

If I were u, I prefer more def investment in whims holding occa berry

briskbadger-60

If you want whims to deal dmg, I would rather use 2HP 32 SPA 32 SPE with sash

ironpanther-10

sash is okay here since we dont already have a sash user

ironpanther-10

oh but im not so sure about safeguard

ironpanther-10

usually i see light screen on occa whims

ironpanther-10

and ofc bulk investment

@briskbadger-60 If you want whims to deal dmg, I would rather use 2HP 32 SPA 32 SPE with sash
gentlecopper-81 OP

Thanks. Will try that change

@ironpanther-10 oh but im not so sure about safeguard
gentlecopper-81 OP

As many are attackers. Wanted to avoid burn on them

briskbadger-60

Btw, does you put 8hp chomp to survive some matchup?

@briskbadger-60 Btw, does you put 8hp chomp to survive some matchup?
gentlecopper-81 OP

I didn't run calc on that. Wanted some bit bulk on that.

briskbadger-60

I don't think 8hp help much, I would rather go max atk max speed hehe

@briskbadger-60 I don't think 8hp help much, I would rather go max atk max speed hehe
gentlecopper-81 OP

I was running that. Thought bit bulk would help

gentlecopper-81 OP

Seems like that isn't necessary if you can outspeed and kill the opponent 😂
