I have a Modest Sniper soon-to-be Kingdra. I'm maxing out its SpA right now. Should I go SpD or HP for the rest?

Also movesets if you want

I was going to go full offense:

>Focus Energy
>Ice Beam
>Scald
>Dragon Pulse

Is Kingdra bulky enough to invest in Hp?
Also, your set should be
>FE
>Hydro Pump
>Draco Meteor
>Flash Cannon

I never got the difference between investing in HP vs. defenses. Does it truly matter?

Base stats say HP is 75
Why flash cannon, fairies?

>>16534115

Investing in HP helps you against both physical and special damage.

It's really not much different than using any set-up move, kingdra also has speed trouble so it's mostly a disrupter than a sweeper

it's not bad but it's not broken.

>>16534159
fairies, particularly azumarill who walls you hard as fuck otherwise.

@HP: The in-game meta is physical as fuck so it might be worth it to invest in defense, but that's just theorizing and HP will let you be more consistent. HP and spa, and put that shit behind some screens/tailwind and watch things die

light clay klefki is a good partner

surely there's a counter. There's always a counter. Don't cry at ME

>>16534195
Oh, of course. I just always figured you'd need them both otherwise what's cushioning the HP? But overall hat makes sense

Most do that, I'm not sure I'd recommend it because the common fairy types are steel/fairy and water/fair pokemon. I'd heard of people going for HP electric on kingdra because of this.

Also, focus energy with scope lense give you the 100%. Sniper just makes crits more powerful.

Quoted By:

I'm a bit sketchy on the details of crits, the way I originally understood it, the ignore is towards whatever's most favorable to you. So say if the enemy greeded up to 4x def and you've used DM once, you'd still suffer the DM penalty but ignore their def boost.
Then people started saying it ignores every stat drop period. Doesn't matter to me either way, I just don't want to be an uninformed little shit

Keep in mind that most fairies have enormous SDef, non-invested Iron Head hits Gardevoir harder than full-investment Flash Cannon.
