"There was a little girl who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead;
When she was good, she was very, very good,
And when she was bad she was horrid."
... such may be the case for Meloetta.
Meloetta: (UU)
Ability: Serene Grace
Nature: Gentle (+ SpD, - Def)
IV's: 15/27/31/3/25/31
Possible Mixed Moveset:
Relic Song
Close Combat/Stone Edge
Psychic
Thunder
EVs: 56 Atk / 252 SpA / 200 Spe
Keep in mind ... the Pirouette Forme changes her base stats, boosting
her Attack to 128, her Defense to 90, and her Speed to 128. The
downside: her SpA and SpD fall to 77.
I think this Meloetta is strongest in Pirouette Forme. Smogon mentions a
viable mixed set, though I don't know if it's doable with her having a
measly 3 IV's in SpA, and no boost via nature. Though, it has been said
that she still packs a punch even without investment in SpA. EVs could
possibly be tweaked to compensate? Possibly used on a rain team.
Serene Grace increases secondary effects. Of her physically offensive
possibilities (worth mentioning) ...
Brick Break (STAB) - 75 base pwr, Breaks/ignores screens - 100% chance
(sans Ghosts).
Close Combat (STAB) - 120 base pwr, lowers user's Def/SpD.
Low Sweep (STAB) - 60 base pwr, Reduces Spd 1 stage - 100% chance.
Shadow Claw - 70 base pwr, Critcal Hit - 40% chance.
Stone Edge - 100 Base pwr, already High Critical Hit ratio doubled.
Zen Headbutt - 80 base pwr, Flinch rate - 40%
Worth keeping? If so, any recommendations/alterations for her moveset/EV's? Your input is greatly appreciated ...
