Torterra & SR
Now on my last thread, I was told Claydol shouldn't learn Stealth Rock. I won't give up on it! How about Torterra? Here's my current set:
[email protected] Nature:Impish Wood Hammer Stone Edge Earthquake Synthesis I don't know what to replace for Stealth Rock, if it should even learn it. Any suggestions? |
SR > Synthesis. I don't particularly like Torty competitively because of its horrible weakness to Ice and its microscopic speed.
|
Well, he's still useable, helped my arse plenty of times. But I'll try what you said out. I have plenty of Heart Scales, and a few Stealth Rocks, so I can experiment.
|
Tangrowth is much better at arse saving. ;P
|
Ah, but Tangrowth gave me nightmares. Seriously. Besides, Torterra is a fav of mine. Tangrowth...well, I'll give it a try. Can you suggest a moveset?
|
|
if you wanna use SR on torterra I would suggest taking off stone edge and putting SR in that slot. I think that could work for you.
Sims: Do you have msn, If you do send me a PM with your messaging name and email |
Two things:
One, I hear that Ground & Grass has lousy coverage, but I'll try that out, too Two: I'm signing into MSN tommorrow. I'll give it to you then. |

It has too much of a flying problem to run without stone edge, you would be best off not even giving it stealth rock IMO, leave that to Donphan or Bronzong. I would also try to squeeze curse in instead of synthesis and run it with leftovers.
|
Leftovers for sure, but here is my team:
Torterra Gyarados Vileplume Noctowl Raichu Claydol Those in Bold can actually use it. They are all my favs, especially Vileplume. But I have a major Ice weakness and Noctowl (who was surprisingly useful) gets the most use when Whirlwind is used along with SR. If you need movesets, I cant Wii-tye them, but I can bring up a thread with them. |

I took out plenty of well trained Starmie, but you weren't the first to say this. I need a sp.wall. Suggestions?
EDIT:Oh wait, now I remember. I wanted Dusknoir. Who should I replace? |
you have a X4 ice weakness... which is the worst weakness to have on a team. you also have no ice resistances, which makes it even worse.

yeah, dusknoir he could definitely work, especially if you're looking to have a poke on your team use stealth rock. he can stop Explosion/Selfdestruct + Rapid Spin. plus, you really need something with a physical fighting move (Brick Break). it's a shame you don't have one that is more suited to sweep really =/
get something that resists ice attacks to use stealth rock. there are plenty steel + rock types that can do this. |
Samson, I wish you didn't say that. It makes perfect sense, I feel silly now. BROZONG! I forgot all about it! Nice defenses, and able to use Rapid Spin (right?) AND Stealth Rock.
I say I wish you didn't say that cause I personally can't stand Brozong. Ah well. I'll get used to it. Can you suggest a moveset using both Rapid Spin + SR? |
actually, bronzong doesn't learn rapid spin. it does learn stealth rock, however.
i personally can't stand bronzong myself, but i am impressed by its capabilities in battle. it can do so many things that some pokes could only wish to accomplish from crippling a whole team to sweeping half of one. |
Damn it, Samson, I just realized that. It's a shame. He does have Trick Room, I'm a huge fan of that. I just wish there was a good Rapid Spinner besides Forretres.
|
Blastoise is a great Utility/Spinner
|
Same for donphan, but donphan doesn't have Yawn/Focus Punch either.

It can learn SE, SR and EQ. |
Thanks, but I've chosen Brozong. I need his Ice Resistance.
|
Why not?
