Help with Munna?

[logonin1]

Hi, I want to make Munna a member of my team in Black and White. I caught four of them but I am not sure if they have good IV combo's. I'm not sure if I want to use one of them or try to breed a better one.

 

The first Munna has a mild nature

The next one has a jolly nature

The third one has a sassy nature

The last one has a bold nature

Sorry for asking a pretty basic question but I am new to the game and I am not sure what qualifies as good IV's.

Go with the Jolly one imo, give it Sp Atk and speed EVs to help you along, hit me up in-game if you need help with that.

The Bold one would be better, and he should focus on Spatk and HP, not Speed.

with 252 Speed might outspeed some of the stuff storyline throws at it though, can make it work.

So I should train speed and special attack EV's then? I was definitely planning on training special attack but I'm not sure what else I should train.

 

Edit- I looked up Musharna's stats and his speed seems really low. I think EV training Special Attack and HP or Defense might be better but I'm not sure.

Go for HP, the speed investment would probably only let you outspeed Snorlax at best.

Yeah I'd recommend go for speed. With full investment in it along with Sp Atk, you can outspeed a bunch of stuff and take em out... Else you're gonna get outsped every single time and be hit before you can attack for sure.

 

Musha's speed base stat might be low, but most stuff in storyline isn't built with maxed out speed EVs, +  speed nature, etc unlike the way your Musharna would be. But sure, you can go for HP or Def too and make it a slow tank the way it's supposed to be, though it gets irritating when everything out speeds you... Just upto you how you wanna go through storyline, should be fine either way if properly trained.

Even if "just to outspeed for storyline" was a priority here, Musharna only reaches 89 speed at lv 50. Everything over base 70 speed will outspeed Musharna. And how many Pokemon are over base 70 speed? About 60-70% of all Pokemon. So all that hard work to outspeed 30% of the Pokemon you face late game, yeah, not worth it.

 

If you want to make a Musharna - might as well do it competitively properly right away. Either Bold 252 HP 252 Defense w/ Calm Mind or Modest 252 HP 252 Sp. Atk. This way after the storyline it can at least be a novelty competitive Pokemon with some economic value to it.
