I just got Actan but I really don't think he is a good poke, so Im looking for a good level Metalynx (70-80)

My Actan is level 81

Empirilla

Typing: Fighting

Ability: Infuriate/Weak Armor

Bases:
HP - 80
Attack - 115
Defense - 70
Sp. Atk - 80
Sp. Def - 80
Speed - 95

Overview

Fighting types definitely got the short end of the stick in Uranium.  With powerful Fairies like Syrentide, Kiricorn, Winotinger, and Luxelong running around, Fighting-types have had difficulty making their presence known in Uranium’s competitive environment.  When viable Fighting types are mentioned, generally Baariette and the double agent Winotinger are the first to be mentioned, alongside Navighast.  The rest of the Fighting type has gone largely unnoticed, even the king of the type: Empirilla.  It’s easy to see why this is, at first glance Empirilla looks very ordinary and uninteresting.  Base 115 Attack is nice, but it’s other bases are mediocre at best.  It’s typing, pure Fighting isn’t anything to write home over either.  However, if you can look past this, then you will realize that Empirilla is blessed with possibly one of the strongest abilities in the game: Infuriate.  Infuriate essentially turns that base 115 attack into base ~200 Attack for free if the Empirilla player plays their cards right.  Unfortunately, while Infuriate has potential to be a devastatingly powerful ability if used correctly, unlocking that potential can be a challenge, and often requires specific teambuilding in order to supplement Empirilla’s weaknesses.  

Choice

Empirilla @ Choice Scarf/Choice Band
Ability: Infuriate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly/Adamant Nature

- Close Combat/Cross Chop
- Earthquake
- U-turn
- Stone Edge

Empirilla’s main gambit when choiced is to switch into a physical attack, proc Infuriate, and go to town.  Close Combat is your main move of choice, STAB plus 120 BP mean that this move will hurt whatever is on the receiving end of it.  Cross Chop is another option for those wary about reducing their defenses, possibly in hope of picking up another Infuriate boost, but I can’t say I would recommend it.  Cross Chop lacks the stopping power of Close Combat and has shaky accuracy to boot.  Earthquake is always a good option, allowing Empirilla to deal with Poison types who resist it’s Close Combat.  U-turn hits bulky Grass types and allows Empirilla to get out of bad situations with ease, and Stone Edge allows Empirilla to hit Bugs and Flying types that Chose Combat and Earthquake fail to cover.  

The difference between Band and Scarf is that Scarf Empirilla seeks to function more as a sweeper or wallbreaker, whereas Band Empirilla seeks to function more as a pivoting wall breaker.  With an Infuriate boost under it’s belt, Scarf Empirilla can potentially run through entire teams with ease with Close Combat, provided they lack Fighting resists.  Banded Empirilla is better at forcing switches and dealing massive damage to whatever is sent in.  Choice Band plus Infuriate boosts multiply Empirilla’s attack to astronomical levels (812 with Adamant), making Empirilla very effective at wallbreaking.  Since Banded Empirilla generally forces switches and tends to be switching into attacks, moving the EVs from speed into HP is a viable option, but only for the banded set.

SubPunch

Empirilla @ Leftovers/Black Belt
Ability: Infuriate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly/Adamant Nature

- Substitute
- Focus Punch
- U-turn
- Earthquake/Ice Punch/Stone Edge

An interesting property of the Infuriate ability is that it will activate even if the user is behind a sub.  This makes Empirilla very good at SubPunching.  The gambit of this set is simple: gain as many boosts as possible through Substitute and Infuriate, then annihilate your opponent with a 150 BP STAB Focus Punch.  Substitute and Focus Punch form the core components of the combo, U-turn serves a similar purpose here as it did in the previous set - allowing Empirilla to get out of sticky situations, and Earthquake and Ice Punch can be used as your coverage moves.  Earthquake is good for dealing with Poison types and Ice Punch is good for Grass and Flying types.  Stone Edge can be used over Ice Punch if you are looking to deal with Bugs instead of Grass types.

Jolly is the preferred nature, as it allows Empirilla to outspeed more things, allowing it to set up substitute and therefore get more boosts from Infuriate.  Adamant can be used if you are confident and are looking for more stopping power, but it is a risky option.  As for items, Black Belt is preferred here as it lets you get more mileage from each Focus Punch.  Leftovers can potentially allow you to pick up some extra Infuriate boosts, but will more often than not be irrelevant most of the time, which is why Black Belt is superior most of the time.

Bulk Up

Empirilla @ Leftovers/Black Belt
Ability: Infuriate
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spe
Adamant Nature

- Bulk Up
- Drain Punch
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge

With access to STAB Drain Punch, Empirilla can also run a Bulk Up set.  Bulk Up allows Empirilla to remedy it’s sub-par base Defense of 70, letting it take more physical hits and therefore get more Attack from Infuriate.  Drain Punch is Empirilla’s attack of choice, allowing it to keep it’s health up in between Bulk Ups.  Earthquake and Stone Edge are standard coverage moves - Earthquake deals with Poison types and Stone Edge deals with Bug and Flying types.  

EV spread focuses mainly on bulk, allowing Empirilla to become even more tanky after getting off a few Bulk Ups.  248 HP is used in order to keep Empirilla’s HP value odd, giving it an extra turn against residual damage.  The HP EVs can be converted into Speed EVs for a set focused on sweeping.  However, this idea is not too optimal since there is a lot of things Empirilla will fail to outspeed even after max Speed investment, making investing in bulk a better idea.  As for the item, Leftovers is preferred to increase Empirilla’s longevity.  Leftovers paired with Drain Punch does wonders in keeping the monkey king healthy.  Black Belt can also be used to increase the damage of Drain Punch, therefore allowing Empirilla to recover more HP after each punch.  However, Leftovers allows Empirilla to recover HP even when using moves other than Drain Punch, making it more optimal.

Other Options

A Life Orb All-out attacker set is an option, but not a great one.  The other sets mentioned effectively outclass an All-out attacker set.  Life Orb is also a poor item on Empirilla, as it makes it harder for Empirilla to activate its ability and survive afterwards.  Running a Dark-type coverage move may seem like a good idea as well, since it allows Empirilla to deal with pesky ghosts who are immune to Empirilla’s Fighting STAB.  Unfortunately,  the best Dark type move Empirilla gets is Assurance, which only has a BP of 60 unless Empirilla takes damage on the same turn it uses Assurance.  While this effect may appear to synergize well with Empirilla’s ability, this is in fact not the case, since Empirilla will generally be activating it’s ability on switch in.  Poison Jab may also appear to be a tantalizing option as well in order to deal with Fairies.  However, Empirilla will most likely be switching out against Fairies anyways, making this move a waste of a moveslot more often than not.

Team Options

Empirilla is best used either to pivot and wallbreak or to clean up the game.  Because of this, Empirilla’s best teammates are ones that can switch into attacks that Empirilla cannot take and ones that can deal with Empirilla’s counters and switchins.  In general, Empirilla appreciates having special walls on the team, as Empirilla wants to be taking physical attacks in order to activate Infuriate.  Chimaconda makes a good teammate for this purpose, as it can switch into Fairy attacks directed at Empirilla and it has good Special Defense to boot.  Empirilla complements Chimaconda nicely as well, being able to take Rock-type attacks directed at Chimaconda and convert that attack into an Infuriate boost.  Baitatao is similar to Chimaconda in this regard, and makes a good partner to Empirilla as well (provided Baitatao is ever released).  

Counters

The best way to counter Empirilla is to circumvent the threat of Empirilla entirely by preventing Empirilla from activating Infuriate.  Depending on your team, this may either be an easy task or a hard one.  Fire off physical attacks sparingly, and keep the threat of an Empirilla switchin in mind.  Try to stick to physical attacks that would either OHKO Empirilla should it try to switch in, or 2HKO Empirilla if the attacker can outspeed Empirilla.  If Empirilla has managed to activate Infuriate, then Ghost types that are immune to Empirilla’s Fighting STAB are a good option.  Navighast and M-Dramsama work particularly well.  Navighast is protected from both Empirilla’s Fighting STAB and Earthquake thanks to it’s Levitate ability, and M-Dramsama can outspeed and one shot Empirilla with a STAB Psychic type attack.  Chainite is a good option, but only against the Choiced set and only if Empirilla locks itself into a Fighting-type move.  Other Empirilla sets can generally beat Chainite in a 1v1 by using Earthquake, since Chainite has very poor bulk.  Remember when dealing with an Infuriate-boosted Empirilla that even if you can’t knock it out, forcing it to switch out is still effective, as doing so will cause Empirilla to lose it’s Infuriate boosts.

What would be a good PVP moveset for a mega whimscott?

Greetings fellow trainers,

By mistake i lost my Exp share while it was being used by Magikarp. Would someone be willing to clone and share their Exp Share with me? It would be highly appreciated. My ID is 24155.

Best Regards,
WMD

So, hey there. *takes a moment to look up from desk*

Like being said, this is a place for competitve suggestions concerning Uranium. Like, how could some movesets be altered, better stat-ideas, added attacks and so on. Have fun, but don't expect to see me here that often. I've never been the competitive player in Pokemon, even if I enjoy to seek inspiration in competitive guides before training my own fosterlings.

- Phantom out.

Hi. I have a cometeor that I'd like to evolve into astronite. But since online services stopped, do anyone knows a way to have an astronite or any pokemon that evolve with trading ?

[NEW]:
- Collaboration from @Reeveelution, @Synthesis, and @Aiden!
- Updated all species I can potentially breed.

For the record, I didn't wanna do this since I want to keep my reputation as the laziest man alive. But since Selene started her giveaway thread (which a lot of us fellow breeders have been sniping from from time to time) and some people are simply too lazy to use Discord, I guess I'm writing this thread after all.

Given said that, it was always in my plan to someday start a Giveaway thread, ever since the old forum days when @Youko and @Selene were known by all and ran the biggest most notable Give Away threads back before the old Official server went down. So without further ado, Monkey's Business was officially opened for business on Oct.2nd, 2016. Since then, I've decided to include offers from other breeders from the Breeders Collective Discord as well as officially making @Reeveelution a "business partner".

Open for anything listed in Stock. Otherwise Closed due to irl stuff and Marvel Heroes.

Female of species I don't have yet.


Non-English high IVs pokes are appreciated (Though I don't actively try to get shinies, I do like a surprise from time to time, so I do try Masuda when applicable).


Higher IVs for some species.


Don't offer me 6IVs coverage, I've already gotten all egg groups covered (minus Mineral egg group, but let's be honest, they're either genderless, have another typing I've already covered, or not worth breeding).
In case you're curious, this is:

My 6IVs collection

* denotes Pokemon I've already EVs trained/am already using

6IVs I can trade (All Males): Cubbug (Bug group, Calm w Swarm OR Jolly with Natural Cure), Mankey (Field group; Quirky, Anger Point),

Modrille (Field/Monster group; Adamant, HA: Mold Breaker), Volchik (Dragon/Flying group; Timid, 4 egg moves),

Chimical (Field group; Modest, HA: Contrary, Venoshock, Toxic, Will-O-Wisp egg moves),

Magikarp (Dragon/Water2 group; Jolly, Swift Swim), Grozard (Field/Dragon group; Adamant, HA: Sand Force).

1. What about pokemon you don't offer?
Two thing you can do: One, go to @Selene's thread, she may have them. Two, ask here anyway, for one, if I don't have it, I can ask someone else on Discord, or maybe another breeders from Discord may be lurking on my thread to snipe your request. And you know, you can always hope to get lucky and get Aiden on the line

2. I want to become a breeder myself, any recommendation?
Well, check the link in Resources, from there, you can navigate to @Youko's guide and start your journey into breederhood! Other than that, follow the link in my Signature to visit the Breeders Discord where Pokemon breeders of all ages and skill levels gather to exchange info, trade and giveaway!

3. Someone else traded me their pokemon, what now?
Well, that happens sometimes. If the pokemon has good IVs, keep it, another breeders probably snipe it. If you're not happy with it, put up another listing.

4. I don't know what happened but I got my pokemon back, what now?
Yeah, the GTS sometimes glitches like that, nothing either one of us could do, just put up another listing and I'll see what I can do.

5. Why do you have so few options in Stock?
Well, I used to have 25+ boxes full of breedjects of all kinds, all 4-5 IVs. But then came the First and Second Wonder Trade Event and I threw most of what I had in there, only keeping the best IVs ones for parents (as you can see in the 5-6IVs parents category). There will probably be another WT event soon, so be on the look out! If you're interested in finding out the result of last WT Event, go HERE.

6. Why did you thread said "Trade, Giveaway and Advertisement"?
Well, isn't it obvious? I'm advertising the Breeders Discord and for other breeders who has not or not planning to sign up or too lazy to put up a thread here as well! Be sure to pay us a visit via the link in my Signature!

Ok, so. Its quite hard to breed a 6IV Pokemon that is genderless. And what I thought would help is to make Duplicat an event Pokemon you get from mystery gift. It will be much better than trying to hunt for one.

I'm looking for any spare archilles/orchynyx, stats doesn't matter... Just need to fill the Pokedex TT_TT

I don't have much to give (I'm just a filthy casual) but if you have something you want and I can provide it, I'll do my best.

I've been dying to have a Xenoqueen since I saw it in the Pokedex, and I finally got far enough to get a Xenogen.  Would somebody mind trading with me and then trading it back so I can evolve it?

Thanks!
