Don't let this shrimp fool you.
I'm finally getting around to EV training my Pokemon in Pokemon X. Today I EV trained a stereotypical Mewtwo... and next up is the following Pokemon:
Moves:
-
Scald: Special Attack Water move with 80 Power.
-
Dark Pulse: Special Attack Dark move with 80 Power.
-
Aura Sphere: Special Attack Fighting move with 80 Power.
-
Dragon Pulse: Special Attack Dragon move with 85 Power.
Stats:
-
HP: 272
-
Attack: 157
-
Defense: 196
-
Special Attack: 299
-
Special Defense: 214
-
Speed: 153
I choose Scald over Water Pulse because that move may also leave my opponents with a burn 30% of the time, which can come in handy in tight situations.
Since Clawitzer has a Mega Launcher, I figured that I would be better off adding 63 points (252 EV points) to its Special Defense stat, 32 points (128 EV points) to its HP stat, and 32 points (128 EV points) to its Special Attack stat. My final stats will be as follows:
- HP: 304
- Attack: 157
- Defense: 196
- Special Attack: 331
- Special Defense: 277
- Speed: 153
Finally, I suggest equipping Clawitzer with an Assault Vest that boosts its Special Defense by 50%. With those stats, you can survive 1-2 super effective Special Attacks!
While it might seem like I'm gambling by not boosting Clawitzer's Defense, keep in mind that most of the popular moves that's super effective against that Pokemon are Special Attack moves.
