One of the fossils learns ingrain and is a wall, and togekiss is a great wall with baton pass.

My favorite wall is Ferrothorn in all honesty. The only problem with Ferrothorn is that any fire move that touches him will incinerate him to a crisp due to his 4x weakness against it. Other than that it can learn ingrain, it can hurt any physical attackers via iron barbs (even more if you decide to go with rocky helmet), you could also give it leech seed for extra healing as well as giving it spikes and/or stealth rock to setup entry hazards. Although I would for sure give it Power Whip.

@Stormie: Aw, poo.
@Intimacy: I've been hearing a lot of good things about Togekiss, that's for sure. But I'm 100% certain I could find a better usage of Togekiss's talents than what I'm currently brainstorming.
Edit: Yep, definitely can find a much better use for Togekiss, although I'm starting to get a rather good idea of how my team will look.
@King: I've definitely been impressed with what I've known about Ferrothorn for some time now.

Togekiss can be a decent staller/annoyance using Air Slash, combined with the Ability Serene Grace, Air Slash has a 60% chance of causing your opponent to flinch. Battles could be a bit of a gamble that way but it can prove to be useful in quite a few situations.
In case that Togekiss has a decent base speed, you can use Silver Wind/Ominous Wind/Ancientpower and hope that stat increase triggers. (20% chance with Serene Grace)

I know, which was why I said I could definitely find a better use for Togekiss. I've always been a fan of secondary effects, and Serene Grace is just delightfully nasty in all the right ways.

Togekiss fell before my Mega Blastoise cause I got lucky and outsped it and landed an ice beam that froze it making it slim pickings for me. Not sure if that's worth mentioning or not. Then again that did rely on luck and there's no telling what that Togekiss would have done to me had I not gotten lucky there.

Togekiss is notorious for using paraflinch

So, after beeding a 5 iv tyrunt, and then breeding 5 iv larvitar both having hp attack defense sp defense and speed, and then breeding them together to get my stealthrock Ttar i achieved a 6 iv Stealthrock ttar within 15 eggs, i'm so happy right now, and my friend helped me trade my scyther back and forth so i could get my 5 scizor.
Today has been a good day.

Can you get larger/smaller Pumpkaboos when breeding?

The hatchling Pumpkaboo will always take on the size of its
mother.
Unless it's a male with a ditto, in which case I don't know.

Yes it can, but smogon is a large reason a huge chunk of the online community isn't running around using nothing but ubers, invisible wall of ethics and what not, not sure about you but facing mewtwo yveltal and blaziken gets boring every fight, and when pokebank comes up, speed deoxys all all those other happy horse fuckers with op stats LOL
Yeah but what about playing rated battles so you can avoid ubers?
Quote from Syr;1177086:
Along with Double Team spam and Moody Bidoof.
I recall there being the VGC format which is actually made by Nintendo; but as far as my research goes it just restricts certain pokemon (mostly Ubers), doesn't allow more than one of the same kind of pokemon on a team, and doesn't allow more than one of the same item on the team.
They didn't say much about sleep clause though.
There is no sleep clause in VGC.

My team wasn't done till like today, so I've been doing 3v3 unrankeds and and well, ranked 3v3 seems pointless i don't take things seriously unless it's 6v6
