ev training my future chandelure (replacing jellicent on my subway singles team)
modest & flash fire // 26/29/31/12/31/31
evs: 0/0/252/0/254/4
moveset:
overheat
protect*
will-o-wisp
haze
his position is support for ferrothorn -- immunities to ferrothorns weaknesses for easy stalling of pokemon ferrothorn cant straight up maul the pomegranate out of
i havent decided whether i want protect or not, his purpose is to be immune to the multitude of fire/fighting moves thrown at ferrothorn, phase resters who tend to give ferrothorn problems with defense stacking, and land burns on fighting types. his secondary purpose is hit and run nuking on fire weaks (read: other grass / [steel/poison] who cant be hit by either leech seed or toxic), he isnt really meant to stay in battle for extended time like ferrothorn (hence the lack of special attack evs and bad iv... overheat should destroy anything its used on anyways)
my lead is choice scarfed haxorus, just to speed some battles up (outrage, earthquake, rockslide, brick break) (only 2 pokemon are faster -- scarf manectric, scarf entei). he 1hkos anything not bulky OR 4x weak to a move OR almost all dragons (haban berry
), and can take care of pesky fire leads.
my current team is haxorus, ferrothorn, jellicent
jellicent serves the same purposes as the new chandelure does, but i think the fire typing will do it better. i often find myself just scalding enemies trying to land a burn, and switching every turn just to abuse immunities / extreme resistances. but jellicents water immunity is practically useless, because ferrothorn doesnt pull water moves often and i dont need to switch to avoid them anyways.
sooooo... anyone got item suggestions for chandelure? scarf and leftovers are out. red card is crap, i tried it out on jellicent for a while and its terrible. brightpowder (which is what jellicent has now) is better. jellicent gets some pretty good hax going on with it. options... choice specs or life orb could be ok, brightpowder hax, focus sash, focus band (idk...), rocky helmet (idk...), absorb bulb (dislike), .... i can get pretty much anything, even any 48bp item (hell, 5 of those), and i dont mind buying them if i dont have them.
does focus sash live through sheer cold/fissure/guillotine?
