Remember when we played Pokemon without EV's and IV Training? I do, because I never did Ev train. I dare one of you competitive battlers to just play X or Y for fun, pure fun...like you did when you were young. NOOOOOOO. I'll be getting mine release day. I'll ship ya one. I'll get you Z version. |

I never got into the EV training and stuff, I just don't really get into the competitive stuff. Then again, I burn out with Pokemon either right before the Elite 4, or right after. At that point I don't really feel like doing the necessary grinds anymore. I think in Platinum my save is after the Elite 4, I was grinding to level up some Pokemon I liked, but got bored of it.

Again, Mach Punch priority destroys Aerodactyl since its Rock typing offsets its Flying type, as well as the fact that Aerodactyl has no access to priority Flying type moves worth using. No other Grass/Fighting type has the utility Breloom does. Let's take a look at the damage calculator. Here is the calculation for Breloom's mixed attack set versus Aerodactyl's best defensive set: a lead with 252 Defense. Low Sweep: 75.74 - 89.03% Focus Punch: 125.91 - 148.5% Bullet Seed: 93.68 - 111.62% Stone Edge: 112.29 - 132.22% 252 Atk Choice Band Breloom Focus Punch vs. 0 HP / 252 Def Aerodactyl: 379-447 (125.91 - 148.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO Now, that damage calculation was against Aerodactyl's best defensive set. Here's what the damage calculation looks like for the two 'meta' sets. Focus Punch: 190.36 - 224.25% Seed Bomb: 101.66 - 119.93% Mach Punch: 76.07 - 90.03% 252+ Atk Choice Band Breloom Focus Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Aerodactyl: 573-675 (190.36 - 224.25%) -- guaranteed OHKO The only real absolute check to Breloom is Celebi; Gengar, Amoonguss, and even Latias can be taken down by different variants of Breloom's many possible sets. So there you have it. |
