Odd ways that you use Pokemon.

When I use Vespiquen, she's a bulky attacker. Quiet nature, Attack Order, Acrobatics, Power Gem, and Heal Order, with EVs split between all five stats (no Speed).

My shiny gible was timid with 31 sp atk, so i raised it to be a special sweeper. it doesn't sweep shit but 100 special attack is good enough to surprise people

I'm glad it worked enough, DW Espeon is amazing

That's not really that odd of a way to use Vespiquen.
Aside from the quiet nature, which is just lowering its speed for some reason.

Unless you're using it in a trick room team or something, you're sort of just lowering its overall power from something like 200 attack and 100 special attack to 133 attack and 133 special attack.
Normally it's an odd way to use it because it's overall less effective compared to the other ways, despite trying to do the same thing.

I use sash porygon-z on random wifi. Catches people off guard a lot. Won a few rounds because of it.

I figure that both physical moves get a STAB boost, so there's no need to use a Nature for Attack. And Power Gem doesn't get STAB and is a little weaker, so Quiet gives it a nice boost (it's a really good move to deal with Fire, Ice, and Flying-types).

Vespiquen's awesome, shut up.

>so there's no need to use a Nature for Attack.
That's sort of flawed thinking though, since it's in percentages.

For the sake of things, STAB is 50% boost, Nature is 10% boost.
Your attack is going to do 1000 damage with a regularly effective physical move and 750 damage with a regularly effective special move.

Sure, with STAB it's 1500 physical damage and 825 special damage.
But it could just always be 1,650 damage, a 150 boost with an attack raising nature and STAB, compared to that 75 power boost in the mixed special attacking setup.
