Oh, yes. Double-Edge + Brave Bird + Life Orb? Slowly killing Staraptor, I see. Needs Roost.

Staraptor @ Choice Band
Jolly Nature
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd
- Close Combat
- Brave Bird
- Return
- U-Turn

Close Combat is dangerous on a pokemon like this. Can do major damage to the steel types.

Slowly.

Roost is suicide on Staraptor. And Return is an alternative.

Well, the only reason I'd think that set would be effective is if there was Wish support in the thread starter's team.

Quick Attack
Close Combat
Double Team(EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE)
Endeavor.

Nice moveset, Derrick. The old Focus Sash + Endeavor strategy, eh? One problem though, Double Team is banned from competitive. XD

sims796 August 28th, 2007 6:05 PM

Double Team is illegal. Maybe U-Turn instead?

sims796 August 28th, 2007 6:10 PM

It's banned cause it makes a poke vurtually untouchable. I'd give it to my Torterra if I could.

Azonic August 29th, 2007 3:22 AM

Attract is forcing switches, uneeded

Phazon September 2nd, 2007 6:39 AM

I'm still working on this..

I have it narrowed down to 5 moves and I can't bring myself to forget any.

They all work so well together.

I have:

Brave Bird
Close Combat
Endeavor
Double Team
Roost

Which one should I forget??

EDIT:

Omg I forgot about U-turn aswell =\

As it was already mentioned, Double Team is banned, so don't use it. If you're using Penguin's set, I recommand you have a Pokémon in your team that can provide Wish support if you want to keep it alive for a longer period of time, so in this case forget Roost.

OptimaL September 2nd, 2007 12:37 PM

why is double team banned? as long as its a legitimate move of the pokemon using it i dont see the problem..

Because it really makes the game count on luck.

Phazon September 2nd, 2007 3:07 PM

Yeah, I know it's banned, but I only play with friends and my sister and they don't mind..

I settled on:

Close Combat
Brave Bird
Roost
Double Team

There's no point in u-turn with double team and if i'm gunna have brave bird I need roost. I also never used endeavor so I just dropped it..

peabobo's sexy legs September 2nd, 2007 4:08 PM

If you don't care what's allowed and what's not, then just use an Arceus. =P

[email protected] Scarf
252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP
Jolly Nature
U-Turn/Pursuit
Brave Bird
Close Combat
Return
