Here's a quick guide for all of yous:

>is it below 100 base speed
Then consider Adamant/Modest but do check if it can outspeed certain threats
>is it at or above 100 base speed
Then Jolly/Timid
>is it excessively fast (e.g. Mega Aerodactyl)
Adamant can work, but again be mindful of speed tiers
>is it a speed-boosting sweepers, e.g. Dragon Dance, Swift Swim, Agility
Adamant/Modest, but again check speed tiers

And if it's mixed go Naive or Hasty or whatever else.

I wouldn't run Zen Headbutt. STAB is nice, but you need coverage, especially with how limited Psychic-type moves are in terms of what they can hit.

Hone Claws + Meteor Mash + EQ + Ice Punch rounds it off pretty good and only hits Surskit for NVE damage.

>>21421391
No problem.

I was thinking of a set for Mega Camerupt, how awful is it?

Camerupt @ Cameruptite
Ability: Solid Rock
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Heat Wave
- Earth Power
- Flash Cannon
- Solar Beam

Solarbeam is only with sun support, obviously. Any other ideas?

I'd prefer Naive over Hasty, since almost all priority is physical.

Unless its SpDef is significantly lower than its defence.

So, say we do a mixed M-Sceptile, how's this look?

Hasty
-Leaf Storm
-Earthquake
-Dragon Claw
-Swords Dance

Not sure about EV spread

That's probably where it belongs. Do you think you could run it mixed, too?

I wouldn't bother with Dragon STAB personally. I always figure the appeal of Dragon STAB is either Meteor or button, and Sceptile doesn't have the former and doesn't have the physical power to justify the latter.

I'm not sure how useful boosting moves would be on it, I think it functions better as a hit-and-run using Leaf Storm and whatever coverage you want to put on him.

As someone was talking about earlier, Groudon is probably the best doubles support, but I'm leaning towards drought users and things that can Wide Guard. So, kind of?

I'm thinking of trying out M-Swampert for Trick Room. What would be a good EV spread? Brave nature and 252 Attack EVs is a must but what about the rest? Just dump it all in HP?

I think it's better to just go full Special Attacker with Sceptile. Sucks to have to use Focus Miss, but it'll have to do.

Worth noting that if someone is running Bulky DD Charizard X, M-Sceptile will outspeed even if its +1 and OHKO with Dragon Pulse.

Even with no investment Hasty Sceptile can OHKO Charizard Y with Rock Slide if you choose to use that.

I really don't know what to say though. Sceptile's just not very good, they really screwed him by giving him almost no new moves. Since he's competing with all the other Megas for a slot I'm not sure if he's useful in doubles either.

Dragon Pulse
Rock Slide
Solar Beam / Giga Drain
Leaf Storm
