Tauros
Well, I wanted to get in Miltank's sex friend so here he is, Tauros. Just let me know what you think of this tauros.
[email protected] Scarf Adamant~252 attack and speed Anger Point -Return -Earthquake -Thrash -Giga Impact(finisher) I just threw it together since i dont' care for Tauros that much. |
Like what? You're gonna have Giga Impact with a Choice Scarfing pokemon??? No way.
|
It's not like I plan on keeping it out the whole battle.
It's mainly to take out the pokemon that nothing else is strong or fast enough to take out. |
Still, Giga Impact rarely does good with Choice Scarf, theres gonna be problems.
Miltank does not like problems :( |
The problem is that movepool, which really weakens tauros. What else can you put? BTW, I like the CB version better running jolly, but that works fine too I guess.
|
Hmm, let's stick with this set eh
Tauros @ Choice Band / Life Orb Ability: Intimidate EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Earthquake - Return - Stone Edge - Zen Headbutt This is basically THE only way to use Tauros. His speed is high enough (350 screws over even Infernape and Gengar ;)), so basically just stick to Choice Band or use Life Orb if you don't mind the sacrifice for a full menu of attacking without switching. |
yeah CB tauros is pretty awesome. is a little bulky too.
|
id go with iceman on that one...
return for stab. equake and stone edge cover pretty much everything except the likes of heracross (which you really need to watch out for running that mitank team) and heracross gets met with a zen headbutt. (even though zen headbutt sucks without stab, it should still kill hera) just slap a life orb on him and he should dominate... |
Well, the thing is, if I get the same pokemon as everyone else, then I can't possibly be better than some people. I like to think up strategies that most people wouldn't expect. It's called a surprise attack.

For future reference, Hidden Power in general is a Sp. Atk, therefore it's useless on Tauros.

having popular sets doesn't mean they aren't good. you could have the best sets on a poke, but it's about your ability to strategize in battle.
if you're seriously thinking having a different set is what helps you win battles, you're very wrong. |

True, but those sets/pokes are OU for good reason. Because they work. Not that different sets fail, but OU ones are that way becaue they have good results. Like when people say they hate Blissey because she is so OU everyone has a counter for it. Thats a good thing. She's soo good, tht all teams MUST have a Blissey counter.
Take it from me, someone who uses an effective original team. |
Quite the contrary, I see plenty of Heracross', Gallades, some hitmonchans and hitmontops, Electivires have cross chop, and plenty others. I don't understand why you act like you know what people use though, I mean it's fine that you want to give people movesets, just don't tell people that certain moves are hardly ever used since you haven't hardly ever battled.
@Sims=Like Samson says, battling takes more than just good pokemon, I like UU pokemon and I train UU BL and NU pokemon. I don't care if they aren't OU for a reason, I like them and if used effectivly then they can be just as good as normal pokemon. For example, you see experienced players taking down Ubers all the time, so why can't UU pokemon take down OUs? |

My WiFi broke. Yell at my WiFi, not me. Y WONT THIS DAMN THING WORK!? Hitmons aren't used too much. Electivire isn't a fighting type, it resists Flying moves Herecross will outrun it and hit it with a Close Combat So will Scarfed Gallade. Where are we going with this anyways? Its not like we're actually gonna use HP Flying... are we? |

Tauros has a decent movepool. Your set has 3 normal type attacks and Earthquake, meaning Gengar walls it completely.
Return/Earthquake/Stone Edge/Pursuit Used with a Choice Band set, Tauros hits really hard. His movepool isn't bad, just limited severely. |

why would you agree to my stupid comment 2 posts down, then? also, Tauros isn't used that much this gen. it may be classed OU, but it's rarely used. but when it IS used, it's usually a CB, which helps it win a lot of battles. but considering you know so much and are apparently this very skilled battler, explain to me why you would max out its speed with Choice Scarf? i would think with its high base speed, you could invest some into HP. but sure, give tauros an average 328 attack and a whopping 480 speed. that way, its hits won't do severe damage, but it'll definitely outrun an occasional weavile and other pokes running choice scarf so that you can 2-3HKO them while they have a potential to 1-2HKO him. nice strategy. |
I didn't come here to argue with you samson. I just wanted people to tell me what they think, you already told me what you think so I would like it if you left. Like I said before, I don't care what other people use, I use what I want.

Now, it's nothing wrong with using what you want, but you have to make sure that what you use will actually work. Now myself, I'm trying something different almost every time I post a team, and I'm always eagerly anticipating feedback, because to them, it will seem like a unique set, but with the chance of something being wrong with it. I'm not going to say "I'M USING THIS I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT IT" or attempt to call people blundering idiots just for as much as TRYING to offer useful advice to what I post. Now if you're going to pitch a fit with someone that doesn't agree with your Thrash + Giga Impact Tauros, then don't come to us with your problems if you won't let us solve them. Simple as that. |
Well, I was wondering the the thing...it would kind of be like me using CB blissey. Sure, it is different, but would it really work? Leik, yes duh leik evrydobyz knowz tht! But, no. And really, I don't see giga impact working, as heracross (or any other strong sweeper) would come in and destroy you, seeing as you can't switch. While I encourage creativity on most pokes, tauros isn't one of them *coughmovepoolthatsuckscough*. You can't rely on that kind of stuff on tauros. Maybe body slam for the paralyze factor, but not giga impact...it is like suicide, and skarm can just switch in on it. Of course, it could with all tauros sets, but it could set up spikes while you recharge...so yeah, just use the standard for this guy...
