Request an Individual Move Set Thread

[Malch]

Thanks for your help, Ambient, Gofre, Pysncrono and Fabian. The NP Sweeper looks good:

https://www.pokecommunity.com/member.php?u=71278Togekiss @ Leftovers
Serene Grace
Modest Nature
252 HP / 152 SpA / 104 Spe
- Nasty Plot
- Roost
- Air Slash
- Aura Sphere

But if I wanted to hack with Thunder Wave, would I take out Aura Sphere or Nasty Plot?

 

[Ambient]

Taking out Nasty Plot would remove it's ability to Nasty Plot (which it needs to have if it's going to be a Nasty Plot sweeper, Obviously)

Taking out either Aura Sphere or Air Slash would remove your coverage and taking out roost would remove your ability to heal. If your sticking with this kind of set, thunder wave has no place on it.

Okay, sorry to bother everyone with so many questions, but now I'm building an UU team and I need two more Pokemon to round it out. I'm mostly looking for a wall. Here's my team so far:

Frosslass@Brightpowder, Timid
(4 HP/252 Spe/252 SpA)
Ice Beam
Substitute
Thunder Wave
Spikes

Manectric@Life Orb, Hasty
(36 Atk/220 Spe/252 SpA)
Crunch
Flamethrower
Thunderbolt
HP Grass

Nidoqueen@Leftovers, Impish
(252 HP/6 Atk/252 Def)
Earthquake
Roar
Toxic Spikes
Stealth Rock

Ninetails@Choice Specs, Timid
(252 Spe, 252 SpA, 252 SpD)
HP Electric
Energy Ball
Overheat
Dark Pulse

Any suggestions? Like I said, I'm looking mainly for a wall, also anything you think the team is missing, also tell me if I'm being silly and making a useless team. I'm still very new at this (as my loltastic post above shows).

 

[Pysncrono]

Hmm, you're looking for a special wall mainly, and although I'd suggest Grumpig/Hypno, it would only add to the ghost/dark weak. Use a Cosmic Power Clefable, it causes switches which are IMMENSELY helpful seeing your hazard team. For your last poke I suggest a Swellow or DDAltaria as you need a Ground immune seeing your 3x Ground weak.
Hope that helped :)

Need some help deciding if I should use SD Toxicroak or SD Absol. Toxicroak is nice and all, but its Sucker Punch is weaker, and even its STAB Cross Chop is weaker than Absol's Superpower (in terms of damage output)

 

[Pysncrono]

Id say it depends on your teammates weaknesses and stuff like speed and raw power. If you want raw power that can take out a few pokes before dying, go with Absol. If you are water weak and RD teams are giving trouble, go with Toxicroak.
Toxicroak has better "longevity" though, it can take a few unboosted hits and retaliate back. SubPunching set is just great for that kind of play. We all know Absol's merits, its like a Garchomp with crap defenses( ok a watered down Chomp).
So yeah its up to you... although for bulky sweepers Kanga and Poliwrath are much better.

Okay everyone, can anybody give me a good moveset & strategy for a Cloyster?

Its stats are

Docile Nature
Lv. 100
HP: 219
Attack: 205
Defense: 449
Sp. Atk: 236
Sp. Def: 122
Speed: 180.

Ability: Skill Link.

Man, Absol is broken with Superpower. That means you have to do the honest thing and use it. Given what you said, I see no point in using Toxicroak outside of a Rain Team.

Toxicroak is a bit faster, that's it.

Um, Docile is a bad nature. Go with Relaxed or another +Spd nature.

 

[Pysncrono]

^
I think you mean a +Def nature. Cloyster isnt really a good spinner or wall seeing it dies to any Special attack. Claydol is far better as it take no damage from Spikes / TS and 6 from SR, can use Shadow Ball to deal with anti-spin and use SR

 

[SmashBrony]

Bother.....I can't decide what Heatran moveset to use...
But I did narrow the choices down:
I don't like being choiced, because I feel that will leave me vulnerable,
(besides that, my Heatran is modest, so that leaves out the scarf set)
& I have a calm Cresselia I figure would be a equally good rest-talker,
So I'm deciding between the taunt & burn support sets....

I still need help........any suggestions, at least?

hi,yo.which is the best for tower tycoon palmers second team milotic or starmie

It depends on your team. I beat him the second time with a Garchomp, Milotic, and a T-Tar, but there are a lot of good teams with Starmies as well. What's the rest of your team look like?

Actually I swept all of his guys excpet cresselia with garchomp's choice banded outrage. Cresselia was toast from two of T-Tar's crunches.

 

[BeachBoy]

Let me note, now that we have a thread dealing with the Battle Tower, take anything & everything concerning such over there. It was made to avoid cluttering up this stickie, so keep that in mind.

 

[Matt-O]

Even though not many people have Platinum yet, Scizor is starting to get me PO'd already. Can someone give me a reliable NON PLATINUM way to stop him?

 

[airconditioning]

A number of ways.

Heatran: 4x Bullet Punch resist. Just be careful of Brick Break/ Superpower
Gyarados: Resists Bullet Punch and X-Scissor, and has Intimidate.
Zapdos: Even without Heat Wave, STAB Thunderbolt hurts. Although Heat Wave is easily obtainable if you trade to someone with Platinum...
Hippowdon: Bulky, and can force Scizor out with Roar.
Infernape: Resists Bullet Punch, and can hit back with Flamethrower/ Fire Punch. Very frail, though.
Shedinja: Immune to Bullet Punch, X-Scissor, BB/ Superpower, and Quick Attack. Can hit back with WoW.

 

[Matt-O]

What kind of Zapdos are we talking about here? I have a Timid one (even though I think it's IVs are probably crap)? Basically, could I get a set for it?

 

[airconditioning]

Keep in mind that Heat Wave is an important part of these sets, so removing it puts Zapdos in a slightly weaker position...

Zapdos @ Life Orb/ Leftovers
Timid
252 Spe/ 252 SAtk/ 6 HP
- Thunderbolt
- Heat Wave/ Thunder Wave?/ AncientPower?
- Hidden Power Grass / Hidden Power Ice
- Roost

Zapdos @ Choice Specs
Timid
176 Spe/ 252 SAtk/ 80 HP
- Thunderbolt
- Heat Wave/ Thunder Wave?/ AncientPower?
- Hidden Power Grass / Hidden Power Ice
- U-Turn

If you really want to use Zapdos, just send it to someone with Platinum to put Heat Wave on it. Although in either case, you'd need to hack the proper IVs on him for HP Ice/ Grass.
