    I can get you one. Only on the condition you tell me what EV spread you plan for it. Because I sure as hell can't figure it out.

    You'd think after playing Pokemon since R/B/Y, I'd be better at this. Nope.

    It depends on how fucking broken you want it to be. Excadrill is one of the dumber Pokemon in the game.

    What you usually want to have for Excadrill is Sand Rush. And for good reason.

    Well, I'm not planning to run a sandstorm team, so I was going for mold breaker and use him as a rapid spinner/bulky physical attacker.

    Yeah, mold breaker is more useful if you use it as a bulky spinner as it can check Rotom and kill any Gengar attempting to block your spin.

    I'd have to carefully look at the speed tiers, but I think you should max HP, enough speed to outspeed neutral/positive nature base 80, 85 and/or neutral 90, depending on what might threaten your team, and the rest in attack/defense.

    EDIT: Just noticed hes not available in Safari's yet, my friend will be disappointed.

    I want to start making a competitive Singles team but I could use some suggestions. So far im sold on Hawlucha, Kangaskhan (Mega) and Sylveon.

    @Anzekay @Kay
    My Riolu breeding project has finished, and I have a giant pile of 4 IV Riolu with a variety of abilities (Steadfast, Inner Focus, and Prankster). Most of them are Jolly, with a few exceptions from near the start of the project.

    If anyone would like to trade a 4 IV pokemon for a 4 IV Riolu (or a 5 IV pokemon for one of my few 5 IV Riolu), let me know what your request is and I'll see I can accommodate it.

    @ragnarok7331 @kay

    Hey I am around if you guys are here and up for trading!

    Picking this back up in a mad dash attempt to beat the E4 before Zelda comes out. I haven't "finished" a Pokemon game since Leaf Green, even though I've played Diamond, Platinum, SS and Black. I just got the 7th badge this morning; I don't have all the time in the world to play, but I imagine I should be able to beat it by Friday, right?

    Sorry to ask, but I am also thinking about getting into the breeding thing. I've played every Gen except D/P/P, but have never really tried to breed for stats. Does anyone have a good resource for helping one get started?

    Also, I added @Knight_, @Quical, @UncleSporky, @sgt rob, @Wyvern, @Varg, @RockinX, @Gutock, @PirateLuigi, and @credeiki to my Friend List and more will be added during the week!

    Anzekay wanted a Gooey Goomy (I think I have some 3-4 IV ones, haven't hit a 5 IV one yet) and Ragnarok was going to trade a Skrelp for a Riolu, right?

    There is no weird pokemon I am prouder of right now than Klefki. He spent a lot of time getting mocked and ridiculed but has now gone on to terrorize wi-fi.

    He jingles his keys to scare away predators

    hahah. Mega Gengar thinks he's so smart, but he can't even take an Outrage.

    edit: That battle was really weird. After I smoked his Gengar with an Outrage, he didn't respond with his Klefki? I don't get it. Megagar goes down, and he replies with Blaziken, who walks into sticky web, protects to absorb the Outrage. But it's still slower and dies to a single Earthquake. Then he puts in Klefki, who is faster and uses Thunderwave and Swagger on Charizard X and bites it to a flamethrower. Why not finish me off with Dazzling Gleam? Is this a particular build of Klefki that doesn't have attacking moves?

    Galvantula's sticky web is a nice check speed-boost Blazikens, btw. Sticky web sets it back a turn, so it gives you time to pummel it or switch in to a hard counter.
