But Roar is usually there to cause damage because of Spikes or SR, so I consider it an offensive move. And if Slowbro doesn't have something like HP Electric or Grass Knot, Gyarados can come in and set up.

Isn't that why you would switch out and Taunt Gyarados with a durable Taunter?

2 questions, whats the standard Steelix moveset, and can togekiss get Triattack?

Name one pokemon that can switch inot gyarados and taunt faster than it can after one DD. Ninjask doesn't count since it gets OHKOed. And the point of using CalmCune with Roar especially is to not switch out and sweep everything you possibly can.

Um. What FlareBlade said. Slowbro Isn't a Sweeper. And heck, just run Slowking with Trick Room if you want that.

Slowking? Um, what? Who said anything about trick room anyways? Not to mention slowbro is way better than slowking...

Hmmm.....Slowbro then. And I really want to keep T-Wave, Slowbro is...well, slow.

It isn't really supposed to be fast. It won't be outspeeding much even with Twave, not to mention the slew of lum users and ground types.

OK then, how's this:
Slack Off
Surf
Grass Knot
CM

 

[Bobpie]

What are the movesets for:

Drapion as a Phys. Tank

Toxicroak as a Phys. Sweeper?

 

[luke]

Toxicroak @ Choice Band/Scarf
Nature: Jolly / Adamant
Trait: Dry Skin / Anticipation
EV Spread: 6 HP / 252 ATK / 252 SPD

Cross Chop
Poison Jab / X-Scissor
Stone Edge
Earthquake

I'm not familiar with the Physical Set as I usually run the Scarfed Mixed Set.

Drapion @ Leftovers
Nature: Impish
Trait: Battle Armor
EV Spread: 200 HP / 56 ATK / 252 DEF

Night Slash / Crunch / Cross Poison
Brick Break / Earthquake / Fire Fang
Knock Off
Toxic Spikes / Screech / Roar

 

[Extric]

Toxicroak @ Choice Band/Scarf
Nature: Jolly / Adamant
Trait: Dry Skin / Anticipation
EV Spread: 6 HP / 252 ATK / 252 SPD

Cross Chop
Poison Jab / X-Scissor
Stone Edge
Earthquake

You were close, but a physical sweeping Toxicroak looks more like this:

Toxicroak @ [Wide Lens / Life Orb]
Jolly / Dry Skin
EVs: 252 ATK / 176 SPD / 80 HP
- Stone Edge
- X-Scissor / Poison Jab
- Swords Dance
- Cross Chop

and can togekiss get Triattack?

Yes, but its very rare...you have to get it from Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness. Some guy gives it to you to purify and after purification it learns in. So, its illegal with Nasty Plot (which sucks).

 

[latioslegends]

If I give septile endvear, and counter, what would be a good nature, and ev sprread?

I wouldn't recommend you run that set, but if you so wish...

Timid, 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk

But they're really redundant.

 

[brandon tautou]

Does anyone have a good moveset for Aggron? I was thinking this:

-Rock Polish
-EQ/Avalanche
-Metal Burst
-Aerial Ace/Surf/Ice beam

 

[latioslegends]

oh? it ain't good with focus sash? Alright I will replace something on my team.

 

[Bobpie]

What does the whole

UU/BL/OU thing mean?

I dunno, and Im curious

 

[Shiraishi]

They're called tiers. They rank pokemon based on: Base stats, typing, ability and movepool. OU is Overused, Ubers are pokemon proven to be too powerful for OU play, UU is Underused, and NU is Neverused ^_^

 

[Anti]

Don't forget BL pokemon, who are basically not one of the more common OUs at all, but too powerful for UU play.

 

[Shiraishi]

OOPS. D: Thats odd considering my fav pokemon is BL :[

 

[johnnyownage]

how do you level up magnemite? i heard that you have to do something on mt. coronet.

 

[Shiraishi]

I haven't really tried but I believe you just level in Mt. Coronet :/

 

[johnnyownage]

alright thanks. im going to try it.

im just curious how do u evolve a tangela into a tangrowth?-i got my tangrowth from gtc

 

[luke]

You have to evolve Magneton in Mt. Coronet. For Tangela to evolve into Tangrowth, it must level up while knowing the move Ancientpower, which it learns at Level 33.
