Thanks
AllFourtyOne for pointing out my mistake, and as it turns out, I cannot live a crit hyper beam 100%, even with the bulkiest set possible:
12 SpA Pixilate Gardevoir-Mega Hyper Beam vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Clefable on a critical hit: 351-414 (89 - 105%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO
So we're changing the set, to better fight against the new threat that is:
Pixilate
The set:
Clefable @ Fairium Z
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 252 HP / 16 Def / 240 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Moonblast
- Cosmic Power
- Soft-Boiled
Sableye:
So my mistake the first time, was that I put a bunch of EV's into Special attack to one shot sableye with z-moonblast.
And, I literally don't need to, because I can just boost once with Calm mind, and destroy it the next:
+1 0 SpA Clefable Twinkle Tackle (175 BP) vs. 248 HP / 212 SpD Sableye-Mega: 402-474 (132.6 - 156.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
And this is essentially Sableye's best option:
0- Atk Sableye-Mega Foul Play vs. 252 HP / 16 Def Clefable: 36-42 (9.1 - 10.6%) -- possibly the worst move ever
yep, not happening
Garchomp:
So I thought I needed Bold, and I didn't, all I needed was 16 defense:
252 Atk Choice Band Garchomp Poison Jab vs. 252 HP / 16 Def Clefable: 332-392 (84.2 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
And of course, it gets blown back even without SpA investment:
0 SpA Clefable Twinkle Tackle (175 BP) vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp: 414-488 (115.6 - 136.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Gardevoir:
So... Hyper Beam doesn't beat me 100 of the time, it only has a 37.5% chance to OHKO.
But still, I can't make it live crit hyper beam's.
But the spDef is to live a hyper beam better and it lives psyshocks pretty well after the cosmic powers.
Pre boosts:
12 SpA Pixilate Gardevoir-Mega Hyper Beam vs. 252 HP / 240+ SpD Clefable: 237-279 (60.1 - 70.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
12 SpA Gardevoir-Mega Psyshock vs. 252 HP / 16 Def Clefable: 171-202 (43.4 - 51.2%) -- 6.6% chance to 2HKO
Post boosts:
12 SpA Pixilate Gardevoir-Mega Hyper Beam vs. +1 252 HP / 240+ SpD Clefable: 157-186 (39.8 - 47.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
12 SpA Gardevoir-Mega Psyshock vs. +1 252 HP / 16 Def Clefable: 114-135 (28.9 - 34.2%) -- 2.8% chance to 3HKO
Hyper beam is still a risky move to go for because of these reasons:
1. It can miss
2. If it doesn't crit, there is a recharge turn, which I can heal for free.
3. It doesn't really have any utility other than hoping for the crit once I get my boosts.
And that is my case, thanks for making me notice Pixilate.
