Sunnybeamers and Thunderdancers
 
Do you use Sunnybeamers and Thunderdancers? They're old, but still great, especially with certain Pokémon.

My favorites are:

SUNNYBEAMERS:
Magmortar - Sunny Day, Solarbeam, Lava Plume, Thunderbolt/Psychic
Heatran - Sunny Day, Solarbeam, Heat Wave, Earth Power
Bellossom - Sunny Day, Solarbeam, Sludge Bomb/Hidden Power Fire, Moonlight
Moltres - Roost, Sunny Day, Solarbeam, Heat Wave
Roserade - Sunny Day, Solarbeam, Weather Ball, Synthesis

THUNDERDANCERS:
Lanturn - Surf, Rain Dance, Thunder, Confuse Ray/Thunder Wave
Lapras - Surf, Rain Dance, Thunder, Ice Beam/Confuse Ray/Rest
Zapdos - Roost, Rain Dance, Thunder, Hidden Power Water/Thunder Wave/Light Screen
Raichu (Special) - Surf, Rain Dance, Thunder, Thunder Wave
Starmie - Surf, Rain Dance, Thunder, Recover


Please suggest too!

Yes
 
I used a Thunderdancer with my Manetric in ye old Ruby/sapphire/emerald version. Made quick work of most E4 people lol.

Sunnybeamers, the only one I ever REALLLLY used was Groudon in the games. Other then that no sunnybeamers. I think that if you got an eletric type, rain dance is a good idea for ur moveset because it stops ALL miss shots. EX: Zap Cannon + Rain Dance = 150+ power with an 100% to paralyze :)

Angelic Diablo September 6th, 2007 3:23 AM

Mew
-Sunny Day
-Solarbeam
-Rain Dance
-Thunder

The ultimate Sunnybeamer/Thunderdancer lol

Anyway my old Houndoom was a Sunnybeamer, then he became a Nasty Plotter. And my Raichu was a Thunderdancer back in the days of GSC (thanks to my pokemon stadium)

In ubers, I use both.
In standard meta-game I like to use Hail+Blizzard, because many teams have HUGE ice weaknesses.

Oops. I forgot that they have Natural Cure too. I edited it. :p

J.M. September 8th, 2007 4:40 AM

I'm trying to find Sunny Day for Infernape

And I've used thunderdancers with Luxray and Gyarados on Diamond

Azonic September 8th, 2007 4:52 AM

Raichu can't learn Surf.

Roserade has HP Ice over Synthesis, cuz its a sweeper.

Starmie was never meant to be a Thunderdancer.

Moltres can use Power Herb/Sky Attack too.

I think It learns it on a certain game, I think it was Pokemon Box. http://www.serebii.net/pokemon_box/

But Synthesis takes full advantage of Sunny Day.

It can be a SunnyBeamer.

Roserade @:Choice Scarf/Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
Modest/Timid Nature
Hp Fire
Sunny Day
Solar Beam
Sleep Powder/Energy Ball/Grass Knot/Synthesis.

Azonic September 8th, 2007 7:37 AM

There are many things wrong with the set above

1 Choice Scarf with Sunnyday
2 Choice Scarf with Sleep Powder
3 Choice Scarf with Synthesis
4 Leftovers on a low HP pokemon, sweeper.
5 2 Grass Attacks

and a bunch.

more of a defensive Roserade

[email protected]
Trait: Natural Cure
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 SPEED/ 252 SATK/4 SDEF
Energyball
Sleep Powder
Spikes
Synthesis/Toxic Spikes/HP Ice

Sleep Powder causes an automatic switch. So Spikes takes care of a lot of pokemon. Toxic Spikes is risky since there are a lot of pokemon with guts, so Synthesis is an alternative. It doesn't have to be a Sunnybeamer ya know.

Lapras1016 September 8th, 2007 7:43 AM

Er, right. But we're talking about Sunnybeamers and Thunderdancers here. I wanted reviews on a Sunnybeaming Roserade, actually. :P
