hows this Dusclops moveset?

[Deaths Jaws]

hi all im back into pokemon yet again after about 4 months, just getting ready for Emerald to be released in Australia on 9th June :)

anyways im starting to build a team for my new Saph cart and am needing a dusclops tank for game play and possibly inexperianced human opponents.

now here is what i would like to have:

Dusclops
Leftovers
Bold/Calm

252 HP 129 Def 129 Spc Def

Calm Mind
Rest
Will-O-Wisp
Ice Beam


now this is my problem: i am having trouble getting Bold or Calm natures but have got several Sassy natures (- Speed stat so its not going to be used anyway as dusclops will be going last 99% of the time anyways...)

now is it worth training one of the Sassy nature ones up or just stick it out for a few more days till i get the right personality and IV's?


thanks in advance guys and remember im not using Emerald so i cant use the Everstone trick to get the personality i want (i have got one already with neart perfect IV's in all that count: Def/Spc Def and HP for Dusclops but i wan to level another one up cos its fun and all :) )


Cheers and thanks in advance again

I personally think that your pokemon could use a ghost attack like Shadow Ball or Shadow Punch

Come on Sin be nice I am sure he didn't know he is new. Yes it does belong somewhere else, but you could be a bit nicer to him!

Nice set dude, thats one of the standards on Netbattle your Evs are a bit funky

You need more defense and less SpDef since you are boosting it with Calm mind. and yes you probably want a bold nature.

EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 114 SAtk / 16 SDef

work for me

 

[Sesshomaru]

pretty cool but it needs more attacks that that and if you have leftovers why do u need rest?

 

[Groudon80]

no stfu

Make the defenses even, HP maxed, and around 200 Attack.

-Seismic toss
-Shadow Ball
-WoW
-Pain Split

Standard. >_>

 

[husk1442]

out of the two standard sets yours mostly resembles

~focus punch
~Shadow Ball
~WoW
~Rest/Pain Spit

 

[Mullet]

I like this one, for ingame.

Dusclops@Lefties
EVs:252 HP, 129 Sp. def, 129 Def
Nature:Bold/Sassy(if usuing FP)/Calm(if using FP)
S-Toss
WoW
Pain Split/Mean Look
Rest/Focus Punch

This is what I like on him, and this EV spread is easy to pull off ingame, it's WoW traping, or you can go with the standard Pain Split. Only use one healing move though. Hope this helps.:D

 

[Hitshka the Groudonmaster]

cool mate:
-Shadow ball
-Hypnosis
-Dream eater
-Recover

 

[Mullet]

Just to let you know the only attacking move that people use on a Dusclops is usually Focus Punch, and for me S-Toss. Dusclops can't even learn Recover. The Dream Eater combo is eww, too.:\

 

[homura394]

How about
1.Dusclops@ leftovers nature: bold Evs: 252 Hp 129 sp.atk 129 atk
1.Calm Mind
2.shadow ball
3.thunder punch/fire punch/ ice punch
4.will-o-wisp/recover
Strategy: thunderpunch is for covering some more types. CM is obvious. And so is will-o-wisp + shadow ball.
This will make him more non-standard. I only reccomend this for a surprise attack.
This is much better on the battlefield than it looks on paper :bandit:

 

[husk1442]

the point of dusclops is to take hits and cripple stuff not, attack things

I think that you should not use rest. I see that dusclops is a tank, but rest only makes more damage done to you. If you want to use rest, I suggest you use whatever berry wakes a pokemon from sleep.(I cant remember the name of it)
