Hmmm... Could there be some merit in considering Expert Belt? Or even Life Orb?

That is actually a valid consideration. People won't know how many EVs, if any, to invest in Spe for a BelllyJet Azu until the metagame settles a bit. I've been running 132 HP/ 252 Atk/ 124 Spe with great success so far, but that might change in the near future.

Prediction, prediction, prediction. You don't want to set up on Scizor, and if it comes when you're at +6, it'll be toast unless you somehow are at less than 50%. The 124 Spe is to outspeed minimum investment Scizor, namely, its listed Choice Band set, which, IMHO, was the best one in BW2. This...

Again, rejecting the egg is NOT necessary. The RN is ALWAYS locked. You only have to reject/get an egg if you want to randomize the offspring (I.e: you don't like the one you're getting).

This is just a shot in the dark here, but I'm guessing that Ability inheritance probably works like IV inheritance: a chance for inheriting from both parents. If the baby inherited from, say, the female and you reset the game, it will inherit from any female from then on. If there isn't a HA to...

Nothing will reset the spread, it seems. Meaning: yes, you can.

True, but the regular Qwilfish doesn't run any Speed EVs, does it? I think Azumarill can prepare for that, though a specific counter can certainly be engineered (and seeing Azu's usage numbers, it's a given). But it's as I said before: BellyJet Azumarill is all about timing. It is a risky...

Only if it moves faster than Azu.

I have reason to believe that this reject-hatch-reset nonsense is just that: nonsense. For the past couple of days, I've been casually trying to get a Protean Froakie through breeding, but I didn't want the Froakie I was using to go up too much in levels, since my Protean is borrowed. I put the...

Totally forgot about Intimidate. Still, at +5 Play Rough still has a 56.25% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock, and Azu can Aqua Jet after that. Haze will destroy its momentum, though. Gale Wings Acrobatics + Flying Gem might work. I'm considering a scenario where Azu will be at 75% here, and...

People might be using the wrong move against it, then: +6 252+ Atk Huge Power Azumarill (Move 4) vs. 252 HP / 204+ Def Qwilfish: 97 - 114.07% (Move 4) is Play Rough, modeled as Poison for Qwilfish's resistances. Azumarill was also modeled as Water/Poison for STAB purposes. After SR, that's a...

I'm still looking for a Dratini/Dragonair/Dragonite with Marvel Scale/Multiscale. I can offer a Protean Froakie, a Magic Guard Abra or a spitback of my flawless Azumarill, Adamant and with Aqua Jet and Belly Drum bred in, in return. I can also infect the 'mon with Pokérus, if you want. Please...

I'm looking for a Dratini/Dragonair/Dragonite with Multiscale. I can offer a Protean Froakie, a Magic Guard Abra or a spitback of my flawless Azumarill in return. Please, PM me if you're interested!

To be honest, all of them are at risk of a 2HKO against a +6 Waterfall plus a +6 Aqua Jet. I guess that BellyJet Azumarill is all about timing.

I'm playing with the following set: Azumarill @ Sitrus Berry Nature: Adamant Ability: Huge Power EV spread: 132 HP / 252 Atk / 124 Spe Moveset: - Aqua Jet - Belly Drum - Waterfall - Play Rough This has just enough EVs to outspeed a Choice Band Scizor and achieve even HP for Sitrus Berry to...
