My Avalugg is going to be a Curse set as well.

Avalanche
Curse
Recover (loving amazing that it can learn that)
Earthquake

this is what i see happening.

switch in avalugg on some physical guy
>curse
they try to hit you
doesn't do stuff
>curse
swap into special guy
you're dead
welp i did literal ZERO

the reason lapras works is because lapras has high special defense and ice shard. setting up with a slow guy works sometimes, but with pitiful special def he can't take that hit.

It's possible but I feel like pumping everything I have into SpD might give it a chance to live that kind of attack.

Blissey @ Focus Band
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature
- Aromatherapy
- Healing Wish
- Shock Wave
- Light Screen

Personally I would swap Focus Band Blissey out for an Eviolite Chansey anyday. You may also want to rethink your moves. Use Seismic Toss instead of Shock Wave, as Blissey has terrible Attack/Sp.Attack stats, and Seismic Toss only has ghost-type immunity.

hmmm. 107 special def + 202 HP would be livable. And with ~208 def and ~148 attack, i think it could work. I just feel like 107 isn't cool enough (and he's a really lame type)

4 weaknesses and one resistance. ech.

it was really there for psychic and fire coverage, along with will-o-wisping
you also saw it had solar beam, so there's that

okay well magmortar does all those things 3x better. It's just not as fast.

It can learn psychic, flamethrower, thunderbolt, will o wisp, solarbeam etc etc

solarbeam is only really good with a sun team, i mean keeping a fire type in on a water type is a really risky move, especially if said water type can withstand your low special attack hit. Notice how ninetales' solar beam did not even bring my froslass to its sash.

i guess you're right. i have a magmar i'll probably breed for egg moves if there's any good ones, but it has horrible defense.

I have a fire safari with magmar
I can catch one with a good nature/IVs

don't switch it in on a physical dude then. just leave him in to do his thing and then pull him out when need be.

also if you get its hidden ability, it won't be able to be spored

I actually have a Magmortar if you want you have have it if you give me something for it. (EV trained and everything) it was on my team originally until I removed it for Mismagius.

[WaffleCake]

if you want you have have it if you give me something for it.

fail
but no thanks, i'll ev train a magby/magmar myself if zanaran can catch me one
zanaran, you don't mind giving that magmar a magmarizer do you?

[naturemon]

Whoops, and alright.
