Hullo out there.
So, I'm no where near new to the competitive scene (long time lurker here) and I had my first official VGC experience last spring at my local Regionals (4-4, not awful for my first experience, and an imperfect team as far as IVs go). So, onward to the question!
So, I ready have a decent team that I've been testing in Showdown that I really like, so I am beginning to breed in game. And, seeing as how much easier it is to get perfect IVs, I'm actually trying his time around. And I have gotten to Rotom, and I'm sure you guys know how annoying he is to breed... Moving on.
So, I am using a 4 IV Rotom and a 3 IV Ditto as the parents. And i have ben checking the IVs of each 4IV Rotom that this pair produces. The most recent of these has 31 in Hp/Satk/Sdef/Spd. Most of the important ones. The only perfect stat it is missing is Defense, and when I checked it was 28-29. Not bad at all. Finally, to the actual question.
Is this okay? I mean, obviously it is pretty good, but the one area that I'm not the greatest at is figuring out which specific Pokemon are threats that I should be fully prepared for. So, is there any reason that I should I keep going for a perfect one, or should I be fine where it is? Here is the spread I had in mind for it:
Rotom-W @ Sitrus Berry
Modest
252 HP/ 252 Satk/ 4 SDef
Discharge
Will-O-Wisp
Hydro Pump
protect
His purpose is to be a bulky, late-game tank ideally paired with Garchomp for a nice DisQuake combo. This pair has won me many games on Showdown. Ideally, the opponents physical things should be burned at this point, and yeah. Any help advice would be appreciated. I'm not really looking for team advice, just specifically on the Rotom. And I will most likely look for a better EV spread later on (this I just a basic one for right now, again, I'm not very good at looking for specific threats and specific spreads to counter them yet; but practice makes perfect and I have been doing a bunch of research on the topic. So, I'm coming along).
Another slightly off-topic question: where should I post if I am looking for Friend Safaris (specifically Ditto)? I imagine one of the Wi-Fi threads, bit I'm not very well acquainted with these forms and it is fairly intimidating... Help, please?
Lastly, I'm sorry for such a long post, but I wanted to give as much background as possible in order to possibly get a better response. If there is a better place and/or better way for me to ask these things in the future, suggestions for that would be helpful, too.
Thanks ahead of time for the help!
