I've been trying to train my ESCAVALIER in my Gen. 5 Pokemon Games, and I find this kind of Stupid:

Escavalier's Pokedex Entry:

Black Version: They fly around at High Speed, striking with their pointed spears. Even when in trouble, they face opponents Bravely.

Seriously, What High Speed!? Its Speed stat is as low as that of a Rock type Pokemon! User Image

I was hoping to Teach him moves like: Payback, Revenge, Counter, Mirror Coat, etc. to make up for his Low speed stat, but Unfortunately, He can't learn any of those moves! User Image

So, Any tips on how to deal with Escavalier's Low Speed Stat issue?

Join avenue can help with that (if you have the version 2) and you can open up a training arena there where your pokemon gets boosted stats. Its costly, but worth it. Plus, try using those "pill bottles" on it.

A certain one of them raises the speed stat.

The reason why Escavalier cannot learn those moves is because he's a bug type pokemon. He's not a steel type like everyone thinks, though fire moves will get rid of him.

Payback is a dark move. Revenge and counter are fighting moves. Mirror coat is a psychic move. None of these can be learned by escavalier.

You can make him learn twin needle (like beedrill). Think of this pokemon like a Beedrill in shining armor.

I've tried Join Avenue, and so far, it seems to be working, but not as much as I'd hoped.
As for the Stat Boosting Vitamins, whenever I try using those on my pokemon, The Majority of the time, I get: "It won't have any Affect" Meaning that the EVs that stat have been maxed out.

Escavalier is Both Bug AND Steel(According to his Pokedex Entry)

Well, in a battle, Beedrill gets High enough speed for him to get the first Strike.
Where as Escavalier never gets enough speed to strike first(meaning he'll always go second)
And I want to know how to deal with that? confused

Quick claw will allow your Escavalier to go first under the conditions where the opponents speed stat is higher and it has chosen a move that would normally go first.

Esc vs Beedrill - the twin needle showdown.

Object: have Esc use twin needle first.
Item held by Esc: Quick claw
item held by beedrill: Poison barb

Both Pokemon chose twin needle. Now, in this scenario all that the victory depends on is whether or not quick claw kicks in. Try watching the tvs in peoples homes on the Black and white 2 games and put it on variety. Sometimes they inform you on moves and at others, you are informed on items.

If you think you'll forget write them down or better yet, type them in one of two discussions threads I am going to create. This way, people know and they have fun learning.
