Okay so this is one of those times I wish Pokemon allowed more than just 4 moves! So I've decided conclusively (as in, I'm breeding it as we speak) to go with a Gallade, but now I don't know what moves to put on it because they're all useful. I am hoping you guys have opinions on what I could remove.
So I have two ralts at the moment and between them they will be giving the offspring Mean look, Skill Swap and Shadow Sneak, and I have to teach it False Swipe obviously, and want to teach it Hypnosis and Thunderwave because I could run into a wild pokemon that is immune to one status ailment, but not the other. Skill Swap being for horde battles so I can check which pokemon has the hidden ability, and mean look to prevent any wild pokemon from running away. So the move I want are listed:
False Swipe
Hypnosis
Thunder Wave
Shadow Sneak
Mean Look
Skill Swap
Now what could I cut down to bring the moveset down to 4 moves? If Abra is the only pokemon in Kalos that runs away when you encounter it, I can obviously get rid of Mean Look, but if there are other Pokemon that can run or teleport away, I should probably keep it. And While Skill Swap is limited use (only for Hordes and Friend Safari) it actually is quite useful in those situations. Shadow Sneak obviously for ghost types that are immune to Normal type moves. So I'm leaning toward getting rid of Mean Look and one of the status moves, but what immunity (Sleep or Paralysis) would be most common? This is really hard to decide so I hope someone has opinions to share. Thanks!
