Pretty sure that Mega Ampharos runs an Agility set with only 2 more points in base speed. This could work just fine.
But sweeper set of mega-amphy isn't that effective, it's best set is bulky one; which vikavolt can't pull off due to obvious reasons.Pretty sure that Mega Ampharos runs an Agility set with only 2 more points in base speed. This could work just fine.
scarf vikavolt has the equivalent of base 89 speed, so noIs it worth trying Choice Scarf or is Specs just the better Choice item no matter what?
"Better speed stat"? What does that mean? This is the stat that it has.I'm crossing my fingers that Vikavolt has a better speed stat. Base 43 is beyond pathetic for a Pokemon that looks to be fast.
Specs might work in trick room. Idk how many months it will take ill accept that speed stat. I still think Im living a nightmare I cant wake up from.Holy moly, that really sux.
So yeah, we're gonna need Life Orb. I would probably try Specs because off 145 spatk sounds funny.
Kind of sux that it needs agility though. Need to spend two turns setting up just to not get revenge killed at best. That hurts.
I feel your pain T_T, but as evidenced time and again, flavour text is hardly reliable. And since its ability doesn't do that, it'd have to be hardcoded for that to happan. Even then, sacrificing its best stat for more speed would hardly make it any better."Vikavolt clasps Charjabug with its legs and uses it as an extra battery. Even if a battle drags on, it can use the electric power from Charjabug to continue firing off powerful moves. When Vikavolt is engaged in a fierce aerial fight, it releases Charjabug to make itself lighter and increase its mobility."
Maybe this implies some type of mechanic where it will lose SpA and gain Spe as it takes hits? This may be reaching, but I'm praying that there is something about Vikavolt that will prevent it from being as bad as it seems.
Just in case GF intentionally gave many Pokes garbage speed as an anti piracy measure. Pretty unlikely though. But, it's not like GF was naive to have not expected hackers to delve into the games."Better speed stat"? What does that mean? This is the stat that it has.

Pretty sure that isn't how Anti-Piracy would work. It's usually checking for a number on boot-up and running a set of instructions. Going into the code and pulling out Values wouldn't trigger it, and even then the game would have to have the normal values for legitimate copies, which could probably still be found.Just in case GF intentionally gave many Pokes garbage speed as an anti piracy measure.

Well, Vikavolt is somehow slower than Mega Ampharos who can also run an Agility set, but it just doesn't cut it against fast threats. Good endgame cleaner if the last few mons can be outsped but otherwise it strugglesIs it really so horrible that he needs to run agility? Everyone is acting like it's a disaster. You need 1 turn to set up then he's a beast. Doesn't seem like a huge deal to me but maybe idk what I'm talking about.
The most disappointing part of this gen. In trying to make a more balanced meta they screwed over most of the new pokemon. Now the older will get used even more and these will get ignored.Well, Vikavolt is somehow slower than Mega Ampharos who can also run an Agility set, but it just doesn't cut it against fast threats.

It really makes no sense as to why they made so many of the new Pokemon so SLOW. It's not like they made an auto Trick Room setting ability or even an item that extends its duration like the Terrains got. A bit frustrating, honestly.The most disappointing part of this gen.
