Articles - Read - Uber Speed List

This is the Uber Speed List, here to make it easier for you to make EVspreads in the new Uber Shoddy Ladder. With the advent of the Scarf inthe metagame, new boosting moves and the introduction of new ubers, thespeed list will certainly need a revamp.

To use this list firstsearch (ctrl+F) for the Pokemon you are training or EVing. Then decidewhich threats you wish to outspeed, going up the list. Finallycalculate your spread.

eg. Hasty (+Speed, -Def) Mewtwo with 252EVs can hit 394 speed. But the next highest is at 384 speed (+SpeedDarkrai). So Hasty Mewtwo can safely run 385 speed (216 EVs) and neverlose any extra matchups.

Boosting: you can find a target speedyou’d like to hit after one x1.5 boost (Dragon Dance or Choice Scarf),and then multiply that target speed by 2/3. Rounding up the result willgive your desired starting speed.

So if you wanted to hit 384 speed (outspeed +Speed max Darkrai) after one Dragon Dance or Choice Scarf boost, use this formula:

384 * 2 / 3

to get 256 speed

So without further ado...
