Request a Moveset / Simple Q&A / Breeding Questions

[Fire Wolf]

Darkrai is a really effective lead and is ranked #3 in Ubers lead usage according to Smogon. Only Groudon and Deoxys-S are used more than it. I consider it to be the best lead out of the six you listed. If you want Stealth Rock up early, then go with Mew. Mixed Rayquaza is a great lead in Ubers too.

 

[RTHookers]

I'm sure mixed Rayquaza can be effective late game too. Rayquaza isn't going to be my lead because of it's rather low speed. Deoxys-S and A scare me, Groudon isn't going to be much of a problem for Darkrai unless it has Lum berry.
Another lead dilemma.. First with my UU/NU team now with my Uber team.. Although I'd probably go with Transforming Mew for the sake of randomness and setting up things.

 

[Fire Wolf]

If you use a Scarf Darkrai as your lead, you can just Trick your Scarf onto Groudon to permanently cripple it. You need not worry about Rayquaza's low speed, it gets ExtremeSpeed to compensate ;)

 

[RTHookers]

Yes, it makes it effective late game. Choice Scarf Darkrai reminds me of how my Choice Scarf Uxie UU lead works.
I think Darkrai can be used for a double-status lead. Sleep + Thunder wave on the switch = awesome. It has good sp.att but DS might still work. I'll test it myself as I've never heard of such Darkrai set.

Does NFE Pokemon are allowed in NU matches?

Ev pokemon (competitive)

How would I get an Ice punching Dragon Dancing Totodile?

 

[Dark Azelf]

Out of these, what is the most effective Uber lead?
Giratina-O
Mew
Rayquaza
Kyogre
Darkrai
Lugia

I know that most of them are likely outclassed as a lead by Deoxys-S,, but there's species clause and Deoxys-A is an excellent revenge killer.

EDIT:
I'd recommend the followiing Feraligatr set

Feraligatr @ Leftovers / Life Orb / Salac Berry
252 Atk, 252 Spd
Jolly nature
-Waterfall
-Earthquake
-Ice Punch
-Sword Dance

If you don't like SD or think Life Orb already does good and SD isn't needed, Rock Slide is an excellent option.

SD Feraligatr sucks without A-Jet...

No, use Celebi, Breloom in OU or Venusaur or Tangrowth, Sceptile etc in UU.

I think that you want to breed a Totodile family member with something that gets Dragon Dance like Dragonite/Kingdra/Charizard/Lapras/Tyranitar, then once it gets Dragon Dance there, take it to a move tutor and teach it Ice Punch through said move tutor.

Hey Dark Azelf, how come my thread was deleted due to 'no ingame content'?

Hey Dark Azelf, how come my thread was deleted due to 'no ingame content'?

Because this forum is for COMPETITIVE teams/movesets only, not ingame. Level up high and everything works iirc. It's right in the rules =)

— Teams must be competitive teams, not ingame teams. Anything works ingame if it's at a high enough level and has a decent moveset

That might be a reason. You should probably read the rules.

Woops ^^;

Sorry guys, I don't post much. What board should I use?

Technically, neither the HGSS nor DPPt forums really allow in-game team threads, but I suppose you could use the Simple Q&A threads in either one of those sections just to get opinions, and there is always the Post Your Team threads there.

Whats a good late game sweeper for UU? Or rather a quick list of useful ones. Please and thank you.

 

[Dark Azelf]

It really depends on your team.

Swellow is my fav though, with Spikes up its awesome.

Macho brace + Pokerus = Quadruple EVs??I've searched around and the answer is never the same. :[

Yes, Pokerus doubles the amount of EVs you get, and Macho Brace doubles it again, so you'd get 4 EVs per battle.

Okay, so, is no one going to help me with my movesets? I'm working on tourney movesets and would like some opinions. >_>

The Ultimate Catcher (Moveset Help)

Hey,
Been breeding, Eving, the lot, finally got me a good Ralts xD
Why?
So it can become a Gallade, and be THE ULTIMATE CATCHER!
I've EVed 252 in Attack and Speed, and 4 in HP, so all Maxed out!
My moveset is:
False Swipe
Mean Look
Hypnosis

My question is, what other move?!
I need a Physical Attack, so that it's benefited by my Attack Bonus.
But what move?
Feedback much appreciated! :)
Thanks,
Joseph Duffy

For STAB, go for Psycho Cut or Close Combat. There's also Night Slash and I think it can learn X-Scissor too.
