How would you guys advice me to EV my Nidoran couple? They're both hasty.. I figured I could possibly use them as mixed attackers with such a move pool! I know they're not the best and all, but they're so cute! ^^ 31 all IV's on both..
Nidoran-M, from my experience, is best used as a Choice Scarf user. I would recommend to following spread and moveset:
- 220 Atk / 36 SpA / 36 SpD / 196 Spe
- Poison Jab / Ice Beam / Sucker Punch / Thunderbolt
The spread allows you to reach 22 Speed with Choice Scarf, and in turn outspeed 14 Speed Scarfers who only reach 21 Speed. Poison Jab are the Nido's strongest physical STAB. Ice Beam is for Ground-types and Gligar and Sucker Punch for priority. The last moveslot is filler, I put in Thunderbolt for Mantyke and Kabuto, but you can use whatever you want. You can also use Life Orb on this set, since Sucker Punch somewhat helps with Speed.
Nidoran-F would probably function better as a tank, especially considering defensive Poison-types are pretty good in the current metagame. (Grimer, Koffing, etc.) But since it is Hasty, a Mixed Attacker is probably your best option. Here's what I recommend:
- 220 Atk / 36 SpA / 36 SpD / 188 Spe
- Poison Jab / Shadow Claw / Ice Beam / Thunderbolt
Very similar to Nidoran-m. The only difference is I'm unsure if Nidoran-f gets Sucker Punch, so Shadow Claw is an option over that to hit Ghosts. Also, Nidoran-f only hits 21 Speed with Choice Scarf :[ If you bred Crunch onto Nidoran-f, use that over Shadow Claw.
Hope I helped.
