Purely physical Shaymin is a really terrible idea because Grass/Normal is awful type coverage, and Shaymin doesn't get anything better. The best you might be able to pull off is throwing a surprise physical attack on a mixed attacking Shaymin using Growth, since it raised both Attack and SpAtk starting in gen 5... Growth Seed Flare Earth Power OR Dazzling Gleam Return OR Quick Attack OR Last Resort If boosted by Growth and a Life Orb, Return or Last Resort could put a big dent in some special walls like Blissey that would otherwise stop Shaymin in its tracks, while Quick Attack could catch a faster revenge killer like Weavile or Infernape off guard and do a lot of damage. You might not even need Growth. You could just run Swords Dance and rely on the special defense drops to "boost" your special moves But the whole point is that Growth raises both attacking stats and still makes you opponent think you're running a purely special set. That way they get caught off guard by the physical move doing a ton of damage to their special wall or revenge attacker. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" http://i.imgur.com/nJ8TNHn.jpg <cite>Calwings posted [p:885983160] in Physical S...
