With dugtrios about, Raikou dosent make a good starter.Needs less speed and a bit more SAtk IMO

Kou is about all I can help you with Umby :\

[gerudodragon1]

your curselax should lose earthquake for shadowball. if you look in the breeders corner on the forum "pass the cheese" i listed a bunch of good snorlax move sets.

[Fr0st]

Shadowball is onli used on curselax if you have Gengar Problems but he obviously has no sort of problem. I am a earthquake user as well because Metagross and Tyranitar come in and ruin Snorlax's fun all the time... You have a very small DDtar weak but you can prolly work around it with Starm, Lax, and pert

[gerudodragon1]

but if you sent out tyranitar or metagross he could just switch to dugtrio.

[Lord Mike]

Ash withdrew Snorlax.
Ash sent out Dugtrio.
-------------------------------
Tyranitar used Earthquake
(271 damage)
Dugtrio fainted
-------------------------------

Hmmm. I wonder?

[gerudodragon1]

what if you max out dugtios Atk nd Def, think that would stand up to tyranitars earthquake?
or Spd and Def, so he tops tyranitar spd and gets to hit him with earthquake,but would the stab and super effective be enough to drop a tyranitar?

this requires research, i have questions to awnser seeing as how ive never used dugtrio.

[Lord Mike]

Dude, I hate to break it to you, but Tyranitar will hammer Dugtrio even with maxed out Defense. Its HP stinks and it would take a the very most two Earthquakes, even though it should take one.

No, the STAB and Super Effective wouldn't be enough to OHKO Tyranitar without Attack EVs. Tyranitar probably has around 270 Defense and Earthquake wouldn't be enough without any Attack EVs.

[gerudodragon1]

im happy i never use dugtrio. there has to be someway to take advantage of his ability usefully. im determined to find it.

CBduggy is the best you can do to unleash it because of its mediocre attack stat, but basicly its made to pick off weakened pokemon

[Lord Mike]

The thing that makes Dugtrio so good is Arena Trap because if its facing a Salamence you could use Rock Slide and guarntee he won't switch out.

[Fr0st]

Rong!!!
Pokemon that are flying types or resist Ground type moves are immune to Arena trap
(Sala, Zap, Claydol, etc...)

EDIT: Haha beat you to it Rubberbandman

Salamence is a part flying so it can switch out Lol

[gerudodragon1]

say, what if CB is on dugtrio, you guys think that theres anyway he could withstand tyranitars earthquake and then OHKO him? if the EV's are right i mean.

[Lord Mike]

Well, you'll have to give Dugtrio a lot of HP, Attack, Defense, and Speed EVs and I'm afraid there's not enough to go around. :(

[gerudodragon1]

dammit there has to be a way.

what other pokemon besides trapinch have arenatrap?

[Lord Mike]

I don't think there's anymore. :\

[aragornbird]

~*^*~~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~ ~*^*~~*^*~

Dugtrio, Diglett, and Trapinch are the only ones. And only noobs give Dugtrio Defense EVs. You’re not supposed to switch Dugtrio in unless you know the opponent isn’t going to attack (like Blissey or Celebi). You’re supposed to weaken your opponent, let your opponent kill you, and THEN send in Dugtrio to finish them off.

i feel like arena trap went to waste. and now i like dugtrio even less.

his purpose seems logical but i dont think ill ever use him.

but hey what can you expect from a trio of gingerbread sticks.

Duggy is good because of Arena Trap seems your underestimating him. He makes things like Celebi killable without hax.

You probably don't know how to use Arena Trap to your advantage. :\

[gerudodragon1]

why, YoMama, thats very hypocritical of you.

but im not saying dugtrio is bad. i just rather use the space on my team differently.

[Lathspell]

Lol, gerudodragon1, if you really want that trapping so much and you can stand the swearing, just use Wobbufet :P. He has the HP to stand to anything, then Counter or Mirror Coat it right back. But Wobby is really lame. Also, he's an Uber, if I'm not mistaking...

[gerudodragon1]

wobby is uber. i dont want any ubers on my team.

[Lord Mike]

That's fine, but you can stop wining about how in your opinion Dugtrio went to waste. The thing is Synchronize can probably use Dugtrio to his advantage.

[gerudodragon1]

oh ya i completely forgot this was a RMT forum. oops

but ya he can prolly give duggy a run for his money.

[husk1442]

Dugtrio can take a max attack cb rockslide from tyranitar or you can always switch it in as they switch in their tyranitar, so dugtrio doesn't get hit.
