Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I feel so sorry dude :[ I'm gonna finish it, already started writing it, the problem is that I can write small parts per day because I got an Extended Essay to do, but I'll do an extra effort.
hmm. it's an interesting dilemma. personally i prefer the extra speed for garuntees and if i'm going to run that then i may as well run enough to outrun 8 speed heatran. the usage stats suggest i'd outrun at least 40% of heatran on the ladder. losing 44 hp evs from the given choice specs set means 5% more chance of being 2hkod (before rocks) besides.
i can't find a calculator that considers rocks, annoyingly!
genuine question: how much difference would the loss of 44 evs, or 11 hp, make? honestly i can't see it being significant but you are a much high standard of battler than me.
yeah, i was just going through the speed tiers and i thought it'd be an interesting way to circumvent something that previously could be considered a counter. could be useful!
anyway i was just wondering if you had considered it because i'm about to rng and train a magnezone ingame and didn't want to waste my time with something inefficient. i think i will go with it though. i imagine that on the whole it'll be more useful than the extra bulk.
hey, can i ask why you use 108 speed evs with specs magnezone and not 162 to outspeed neutral 8 ev heatran? specs tbolt does min 45% to the specially defensive set, which polishes off any weakened heatran.
