Newsletter; Pokemon of the Week!

Okay, first of all the giveaway week wasn't quite a success..... As you might have seen. I only have two giveaways when there should be 7. I missed five whole days, and I'm making up for it this week! Every weekday, I wil have a giveaway! So sorry to disappoint you guys! Thanks for subscribing! And here's the Pokemon of the Week:

DARMANITAN: The Blazing Pokemon
Okay guys, this Pokemon is completely beast. Seriously. With two very strong but different variations, Darmanitan is a sweeper in some ways. It has two different forms, and it can alternate depending on two things: Its HP and ability. If you want it to be a powerful Pokemom that is likely to crush a different team, you want the ability Sheer Force, which raises all attacks that have secondary effects by 33%, but loses the effect. This ability is actually quite useful if you know that Darmanitan's monster attack (base 140) will knockout your enemy. Normal mode Darmanitan also has a pretty high speed stat. The second ability is Zen Mode. When your Pokemon's HP is below 50%, Darmanitan will automatically switch into Zen Mode Darmanitan. Zen Mode Darmanitan is useful due to its nice defenses (base 105 and 105) and its monster base special attack. So out of these two abilities, which is more useful?

Darmanitan (Normal Mode):
Ability: Sheer Force
Held Item: Life Orb
Moveset:
-Earthquake
-Flare Blitz
-Stone Edge
-Superpower
EV: All out attack and speed
Nature: Up attack, down special attack
Okay here is why you could use this to your advantage. For some strange reason, if you have the ability Sheer Force and you're holding the Life Orb, any move that has recoil will lose its Life Orb recoil. Strange huh? So your Flare Blitz has an increased power for the same recoil. Earthquake needs no explanation having a super high attack power, Stone Edge is one of those risky attacks that have a 80% of hiting but can cause some serious damage, and Superpower is there to finish your opponent off with a hubalooza of strength. If you raise your attack power and speed, this moveset is one of those, "HIT UNTIL YOU DIE" movesets.


Zen Mode Darmanitan
Ability: Zen Mode
Held Item: Wise Glasses
EV: HP, Special Attack
Nature: Up special attack, down attack
Moveset:
-Flamethrower
-Substitute
-Psychic
-Focus Blast
Alright. For this Darmanitan, you want a high HP, and a super high special attack power. That's why you EV train in those two stats, have that nature, and hold Wiseglasses. Why you want HP is simple, beacause you are going to use Substitute to lower your HP down to 50%. Flamethrower is your STAB along with Psychic. You have high defenses so you should take a few tough attacks. Focus Blast is for knocking out those scary dark types. You won't be using any physical attacking moves in this set.
Thanks for subscribing everyone!
