Well at least you would be guaranteed that 5 stats get all 31. I sometimes get crappy 3 max IVs even when breeding 2 5 max parents. 1/32 is a chance I'm willing to gamble with.

There are cases that you do want 6 max. Wall-breaking mix attackers such like Mixmence or most Hydreigon variants.

For most pokemon though, you would just want 5 max.

In terms of current competitive teams, is there a reasonably good place to watch competitive X and Y battles? Atm am thinking about what to make my first team, and thinking of doing something along the lines of aegislash, ferrothorn, togekiss, garchomp (mega chomp?), gengar (mega?), and maybe scizor or azumarill? Not really sure what a standard team with good coverage and good defensive mons is now, and what good openers currently are.......

also just need 3 more mons to finish the dex. Articuno, weavile, gliscor. Let me know if you have any of those to trade me, even just for the caught entry (so I'd trade it back straight away)

Are you planning on playing 6v6 or just the battle spot?

this would be me wanting to play 6v6 again at some stage. From what I have seen rotom W is apparently also really good.

The problem with 6v6 in game (from what I gather) is it's all 'private' battles. There is unforunately no automated system/ladder for it. If I am wrong people tell me because I'd love to play that.

Otherwise for 6v6, you can play on simulators online, i think it's called Showdown (google Pokemon Showdown I guess).

As for your team, you might want to consider someone that set Stealth Rocks, and depending on your playstyle, a spinner.

Depends on if you are running 3v3 or 6v6 tbh but just generalizing -

Galv got a nice buff with sticky web and can be a pretty reasonable suicide lead.

Sleep openers got nerfed with spore not working on grass types and the sleep count no longer reseting upon switch out.

weather openers got nerfed and I reckon they'll be used later in the fight rather than the first pokemon out the gate.

Honestly I think most leads will either be setting up hazards or baton pass right now tbh and of course taunt will still be awesome (WHY DID KLEFKI NOT GET TAUNT!)

yea rotom-w is pretty much a must on any team atm unless you have other plans to counter talonflame, azumarrill, etc all with one person. excellent utility in trick/WoW/volt switch and a strong stab move in hydro pump. He's anti metagame right now

can someone help me out? just a few pokemon away from completing the "seeing" portion of my kalos pokedex.

I got 2 clamperls with items I need to evolve, a politoad with kings rock, and I need to see Articuno/Moltres.

Problem with kinglers always been its speed is atrocious and that pretty much makes it UU, despite its pretty massive attack stat

Kingler has better stats on everything except for sp.atk, which is pretty pointless since both of them are meant to be physical attackers, Crawdaunts speed is abysmal in comparison also.

Really depends on if you want the dark type STAB to trade off for lower stats(not to mention more weaknesses aswell) + adaptability, or if you want pure water + sheer force(33% increase in moves with secondary effects)
that being said im a pretty big fan of using bad pokemon regardless, hell i use Nidoking anytime i can and he's a pretty bad pokemon, just cause he's one of my favorites haha.

Crawdaunt also gets Dragon Dance and a useable Special Attack stat, while Kingler has no chance of a mixed set with its terrible SpA. It does get Agility, though, and both its Attack and Speed trump Crawdaunt's. Still, Adaptability and a great STAB combination make Crawdaunt the better crustacean to use.

Also, Kingler doesn't even get access to Superpower until Pokebank rolls out, which cripples its coverage pretty badly.

Nidoking has never been a bad Pokemon. He has an absolutely insane movepool, solid typing, and a great ability in Sheer Force. What usually lets him down is his middling Speed, and the fact that his stats in general are a little too well-rounded. Pokemon with balanced stats are often eschewed in favor of more specialized Pokemon who can run a more potent version of the same set.

If only Nidoking still had Lovely Kiss, he'd be a monster.

I feel he suffers from what a majority of the old pokemon do just like you said, his stats are well rounded(and kinda low) that even his incredible movepool(seriously has access to like, everything) cant really make him OU material

also, assault vest solid rock rhyperior, viable?
