Explosion..? That would be wasting a wall now wouldn't it anti? ?_? |
explosion lets him go out with a bang!
id say, use this moveset: Steelix @Leftovers EVs: 252 HP / 76 Def / 180 SDef Impish/Relaxed Nature -Stealth Rock -Roar/Toxic/Rest -Earthquake -Explosion/Gyro Ball steelixs first goal is to set up stealth rocks. then you can fire stabbed earthquakes. gyro ball is great due to steelixs horrible speed. |
Yes, explosion is to go out with a band when there's no hope of survival. On steelix, I see no use for sp. Defense EVs with I believe 65 base SpD. I'd just buff up that defense so that it can take the EQ attacks that can hurt it. Pw, your moveset is fine though, forgot about toxic, just make sure bliss is gone first is you use it.

Steelix @: Macho Brace
Trait: Sturdy Relaxed Nature Ev's: 240 def/132 hp/20 sp. def Gyro Ball Stone Edge Roar Earthquake/Taunt/Rest. I prefer not to blow up my wall. |
Neither do I, but no wall lasts forever...I think explosion should at least be considered...and I honestly don't like stone edge on it. Steelix can only take so many hits, and the chance of missing + low PP isn't great on a wall IMO. EQ MUST be on steelix for STAB and it beats fire types. Steelix is actually rather diverse, so you can use a variety of different things...ever tried a CBer steelix? Who knows, it could work...though that is simply a theory...but with trick room...I'll stop there.

Steelix @:Focus Sash Trait: Rock Head Relaxed Nature Double Edge Endure Rock Polish Gyro Ball. Gyro Ball stays. |
Walls normally don't have suicide moves.
And Anti-Pop is eight years old. ZOMG you time traveled back 13 years!!!!!!!!! [email protected] Brace Trait: Sturdy Nature: Impish/Adamant EVs: 252 HP/172 DEF/80 ATK Gyro Ball Earthquake Stone Edge Toxic/Stealth Rock/Rest IRON BALL DUSNT LOWR SPEED!!! EDIT: I hope that was a joke Itachi. Endure doesn't work on slow pokemon. It will never be OHKOed. And Rock Polish for one Attack!? Not to mention Gyro Ball has bad coverage. :( |
I know, but it's still a good item for steelix. Otherwise, macho brace or lefties. Now, my totally novelty steelix set:
[email protected] Band Rock Head Brave Nature EVs: 252 Attack, 200 HP, 58 Defense ~EQ ~Gyro Ball ~Stone Edge ~maybe double edge Woof woof woof! I smell a trick room team... |
