New steelix battle strategy

[shinymamoswine]

brave nature (+attack, -speed) learn curse at lv. 38 (HG SS only) teach gyro ball by TM. EVs- 4 HP 252 attack 252 defense. Curse it up. Your speed will be so low, that gyro ball will do a LOT of damage. If you think of a problem, seen this before, or just think it will be horrible, or even like, post in this thread.

shoulda posted in the UU thread. This wont work because steelix has a bad special defense and curse doesn't help. It will need all special attackers out of the way for it to work.

Good point. If you switch the Defense EVs to sp. defense and have a 31 IV in sp. Defense it becomes 229. Maybe a better nature would be a sassy which would bring sp. defense up to 251 which is still pathetic, but its better than 229

EDIT- I just looked and this set is already on smogon. NEVER MIND

You NEVER max def on Steelix. Its defense is WAY too high. You put 252 EVs in SpD.

Either way, this'll never work in standard. He's a defensive beast, but other than that...

Uh guys next time report the thread.
Also it wouldn't hurt for the OP to look around, just because you're new doesn't exempt you from reading sticky threads and the rules.

Never mind OP isn't new...still dude please read.
