Looking for "filler" moves and/or moveset editing for my Lopunny.

Lopunny (female) @ Jolly

Would Baton Pass be good here? Which item/(s) should I consider without Switcheroo?

Well, there's nothing wrong about Loppuny's movesets. But Blastoise nature and attacks don't match quite, I think.

It's Adamant. And if I recall properly, Adamant is +ATT and -SP. ATT. But there's Ice beam there. I suggest Aqua tail, or any other physical water moves.

Aqua jet is an increased priority move right?

But, I personally think, I'm wrong. It's my opinion about your Blastoise there. Base 83 Att. is quite comparable you see.
And, one more thing. Did you double breed Blastoise for Fake-out and Aqua Jet?

 

[LethalTexture]

Yeah, you have to chain breed both moves onto Blastoice by breeding Aqua Jet onto a Seel.

While I'm here, I may as well ask for a good spread for Aqua Jet/Fake out Blastoise.

Ok, Deano, we can go with a few variations on this set. You can go with a CB Set for later-game revenge kills. This would run:

Blastoise @ Choice Band
Adamant | Torrent
[ 252 HP, 252 Atk, 6 Spd ]
~ Aqua Jet
~ Fake Out
~ Ice Punch
~ Return/Earthquake

As you are probably thinking, this won't get the opportunity to use both Priority Moves, defeating the point of Fake Out. The following set could make a decent lead, bringing down some popular Suicide Leads before they get the chance to set up.

Blastoise @ Life Orb/Leftovers/Focus Sash
Adamant | Torrent
[ 252 HP, 252 Atk, 6 Spd ]
~ Aqua Jet
~ Fake Out
~ Toxic/Rapid Spin
~ Bite

This set can take most leads in OU, although it might not see much use there. Bite hits Gengar, Rotom and Mismagius Leads.

Blastoise @ Leichi Berry
Adamant | Torrent
[ 244 HP, 252 Atk, 12 Def ]
~ Aqua Jet
~ Fake Out/Body Slam/Ice Punch/Earthquake
~ Substitute
~ Focus Punch

This set focuses on Activating Torrent and the Leichi Berry. Fake Out is probably a stupid choice, so you can run Body Slam and hope for Parahax or just run Ice Punch/Earthquake.
Hey, you could even run a Curse set, which could take advantage of Aqua Jet's priority.

Did that help?

How does this mewtwo look?

Mewtwo - #150 (Timid)
HP: 3
Att: 29
Def: 19
SpA: 31
SpD: 3 - 4
Speed: 23 - 24

I'm chuffed about the SpAtt, but a bit worried about the speed. Is it usable or what should I be aiming for?

Yeah, that looks great, you will have to give it more speed evs to make up for the speed ivs though.

 

[El Gofre]

Yeah I was gonna run a 252/252 specs set anyways. What standard uber bliss nowadays? I've been out of the metagame for too long =]

Blissey@Leftovers
4 HP / 252 DEF / 252 SP.DEF
Calm Nature
Trait : Natural Cure
- Ice Beam / Icy Wind
- Thunder / Toxic
- Psych UP / Calm Mind
- Softboiled

Ice Beam for power whilst Icy Wind lets you make switch ins slow such as safeguard latios and taunt mewtwo so you can toxic them =p

Thunder for Kyogre and Manaphy and Toxic for the offensively retarded-ness.

Psych up or Calm Mind are required so you dont get owned by foe stuff with calm mind.

Softboiled...if you ask what this is for ill ban you lol

Regirock @ Choice Band/Wide Lens
Careful; 252 Hp/ 252 SpD/4 Def
Rollout
Earthquake
Fire Punch
Ice Punch

I was thinking that with sandstorm and entry hazard support this could actually be pretty effective late game. With the defences and HP it rivals shuckle in mixed wall potiential and therefore can take hits. And with STAB rollout with doubling power ever turn it can be very deadly very quickly, and since this would be late game most pokemon would not be at full health meaning they could be KOed by one rollout in the early use of rollout. So that sort of counteracts the low attack power it starts out with.

Earthquake and Fire Punch could be used to knock out steels that would resist rock. Ice Punch for ground types. Roll out for all else. Wide Lens would basically give rollout 100% hit rate and sort of never miss. But Choice Band could help with extra power. Clearbody also prevents gyarados and salamence intimidate.

So basically this is a gimmick set, but a good gimmick set I think when used in sandstorm teams. This could probably be even better if it had trick room support.

But are there any ideas that I could change about this for late game sweeping? Bulkup perhaps.

So guys...I've been looking at Venusaur's potential in a new UU team I'm making, called "The Empires", and I've noticed there's no Sub Seed set in the Venusaur analysis. This has driven me to the edge of wanting to make a new set for it.

Venusaur @ Leftovers / Black Sludge (Really only use last one if you are picky)
Calm / Bold
252 HP / 252 Def or SDef / 4 SAtk
Sludge Bomb
Substitute
Leech Seed
Grass Knot

Really, it's like a sturdier and albeit stronger Vileplume, it's just that sims and his 4 alts have been pushing Vileplume's usage to near BL levels. :< Calm or Bold really depends on if you like the physical or special side of defense. Change Def or SDef EVs according to nature. (252 SDef with Calm only, Bold with 252 Def) Sludge Bomb = ROFL Grass-types, Sub Seed is pretty obvious, tbh. Grass Knot is really for those double grass weak pokes, but if you extremely mind being walled by Steels, you can run HP Fire.

I'd like some UU expert's advice here. (hint: Syaoran or ABYAY)

I may just split the Def EVs, but your opinions count more than my often bad decisions.

 

[Xebelleon]

Was wondering about my Torterra...

Tortrunk, the Torterra @ Adamant
252 Atk, 192 HP, 64 Def
Overgrow
~Seed Bomb
~Body Slam
~Swords Dance / Rock Polish
~Earthquake / Rock Slide / Stone Edge

I obtained this by importing a male Bulbasaur with the GBA Move Tutor skill "Body Slam" to breed with my Grotle girl. Turtwig w/ Seed Bomb, Double-Edge, Body Slam, Withdraw was the base for this Torterra (Pre-Ditto). I noticed the Smogon notes for Swords and R-Polish. Seems good. I can, and will, have one Swords & one R-Polish Torterra for a minimum of two for battles.

I want to know, in regards to my Torterra:

Together with Grass & Normal damaging moves...
Will I want Earthquake (Ground) OR Stone Edge / Rock Slide for coverage?

I also like Crunch but uncertain of how it would play against Torterra's counters.

Item suggestion?

Blastoise @ Life Orb/Leftovers/Focus Sash
Adamant | Torrent
[ 252 HP, 252 Atk, 6 Spd ]
~ Aqua Jet
~ Fake Out
~ Toxic/Rapid Spin
~ Bite

This set can take most leads in OU, although it might not see much use there. Bite hits Gengar, Rotom and Mismagius Leads.

Did that help?

Holy wow! Thank you!
And yes Smeargle used a Seel.
But thats because I wanted a Seel with Lick, Fake Out, Aqua Jet, Aqua Ring.

Item for your BL Torterra? With those movesets, definitely a

Life Orb. Base 95 Hp has its advantages you know. But, Leftovers can work.... Honestly, I'm not sure...
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I'm having trouble with Swampy's movesets, here they are:

Swampert @ Leftovers/Chesto Berry
Careful/Adamant Nature
252 Evs In Hp/252 Evs in Spc.Def/6 Ev in Atk

Curse
Earthquake
Avalanche
Rest

Earthquake is a great STABed move, with a base power of 150. Avalanche is for its grass weakness. With max Hp and Spc.def, it could probably survive a regular unSTABed grass move like Energy ball from a Gengar. Maybe. Curse is to raise both its atk and def, and Rest to regain the lost Hp. Chesto berry if your going with Rest, and leftovers otherwise. Avalanche is almost sure to get the double power, because of Swamperts low speed plus the speed lowering from Curse.

But I'm not sure if Curse would do him any good... Lagging tail! lol.

 

[StrickeN]

For coverage I'd go with Stone Edge.

 

[sandfox]

I would like help with a moveset for a Slowking@leftovers ev: 252 hp, 252 SDef, 6 SpAtk

 

[Ayouki Emerald]

For coverage I'd go with Stone Edge.

Stone Edge for Curse eh? Well, sure, I'll work with a weakened Avalanche.

I would like help with a moveset for a Slowking@leftovers ev: 252 hp, 252 SDef, 6 SpAtk

Slowbro @ Leftovers
- Psychic
- Flamethrower
- Surf/Ice Beam/Grass Knot/Shadow Ball/Focus Blast
- Calm Mind

Psychic and Flamethrower together have fairly good type coverage against opponents, for the third option, you might want to go for Surf just because of STAB, Grass Knot to deal with other Water-types, Ice Beam to cover Dragons, Shadow Ball to cover other Psychic-types or Ghost-types, or perhaps the inaccurate Focus Blast if you're really afraid of those Dark-types.
Calm Mind of course to boost Slowbro's sweeping abilities and its average Sp. Defense.

I'll work with a Sweeping Slowking...
But, You can put all EV's in Def. if you want...

Need an EV spread for my Ursaring.

Ursaring @ Jolly
Quick Feet (will probably give it a Toxic/Flame Orb)

Should I "Do-a-Ditto" for an Adamant Bear?

 

[sandfox]

Was going for a special wall Slowking

 

[Ayouki Emerald]

EV spread for Ursaring?

Ursaring@ Toxic Orb
Jolly, Quick Feet
6 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Spe

Jolly is good enough, don't "do-a-Ditto" anymore, it isn't necessary...
