>252+ Atk Choice Band Technician Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 0- Def Jolteon: 169-200 (62.36 - 73.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO That's 0 IVs, negative nature, no EVs, adamant scizor.
Even with 31 IVs, you wouldn't run fucking bold 252 defense or something on Jolteon.
If anything, not knowing about EVs means he probably spent more time using grass knot on Gravelers and accidentally getting a bunch of defense EVs that wouldn't be on any "normal" Jolteon.

>>15815580 I did a stint in high school before I started teaching middle school. Didn't care too much for it, but it may be because the administration was shitty. Never met any students who were into Pokemon at that age (9th and 10th grade). They all thought it was lame to like kiddy Nintendo games...
Back when I was in college, I'd take jobs tutoring at elementary schools for teaching experience. This was around the time D/P/Pt was released. I'd get challenged by the elementary students ALL the time. I became a bit of legend to some of them because I never lost (I had EV trained Pokemon). I even started teaching them about EV training and IV stats and stuff.
Man I miss those days. I do have one of my 8th grade students who I'm supposed to be battling before Thanksgiving break. Claims he's pretty good, and he's a smart kid, so it should be interesting. When I said I was IV breeding for stats, he said "yea, I heard it's easier for this game", so he may actually know what he's doing. I also have a feeling he browses 4Chan a lot because he always casually mentions memes and shit.

what's less surprising is that most people are kind of terrible at it. there's one kid who is a prototypical smogonfag but only in the sense that he uses the "recommended" mons without any regard for what they can do in any given situation. no sense of prediction whatsoever. small wonder they have such a hard time in school, lel

>>15816011 Lol good point. The kids I teach have no real prediction/inference skills either. I teach ELA, so I'm constantly trying to get them to see things from other people's POV. It's like a foreign concept to them. If they can't predict what will happen next in a damn story, there's no way they'll be able to predict what attack I'll use with a Pokemon.
Example: When I was playing the Aspergers kid, I had my Megazard X against his Venusaur. I knew he had a Probopass on his team, so I used Earthquake predicting the switch. He had no idea how I new he'd switch and claimed I cheated and was looking as his screen (despite being behind my desk).

Agility is pure filler. Nice on electro ball as I sack Galvantula anyways since I don't want anything else taking a hit it doesn't need to.
Klefki paralyze/confuse ray is wonderous
It's on jolteon instead of espeon for the extra speed

What do you do when someone sets SR, sand, Kangaskhan, or anything else that can break your sashes, then kills you while you're trying to set up? What do you do against phazers?
There are a dozen ways to break your BP cahin, and then you have absolutely nothing to fall back on. You're instantly done for if any one thing goes wrong. That is why your team sucks.
I'm trying to give you good advice here. This team cannot be saved, you need to start over. Never ever ever ever ever build an entire team around Baton Pass. Ever.

I'm having my first few games of Showdown against a friend. I'm a /tg/er, play plenty of tabletop games, play Magic, play Go. It's still insane to find out that Breloom heals from toxic, or that the Normal-type mon that you just switched against can pull out ice if it has to.
A casual player might as well just keep firing at the other mon. If they guess wrong while switching, whatever they switch into could get hit by something super-effective and they literally wouldn't know how.

They haven't played since diamond/pearl first came out (and never finished it, they didn't like the region), and I even offered to get them some pokemon you can only get from Safaris for their playthrough if they were looking for a pokemon they liked in particular. Today, they tell me "I've spent my whole life not using Pokemon I like just because they're weak, and I've had enough. I'm going to have a party of cute Pokemon. Eevee may not be strong when unevolved, but I'll still beat the elite four with it and get it to level 100. The game has always harped that weak Pokemon are important too, and it's time I listened." So much for having any semblance of a challenging battle with them in the future.
