info on the Legendary Birds, PLZ!
Do any of you rock with the birds?
I was wondering what Nature, moves, EV Spread..etc... worked best for your bird... I haven't battled against any of the birds yet..(IN ONLINE BATTLING) and I'm wondering why, |
to USE the birds or to catch them o_o All I can say is that Zapdos, Moltres are sweepers...
|
I'll post where to find them and how to capture them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zapdos - Electical Plant [Closest City, Cerulean City] How to capture - Use a pokemon that is NOT super effective, but can weaken it enough so it's HP is below 50. Note - FIRST SAVE BEFORE ENCOUNTER FOR ALL LEGENDARY POKEMON Then use a ultra ball. Eventually you will get it. Articuno - Sea Foam Islands [Closest City, Cinnabar Island] How to capture - Use a low lvl. electric pokemon, and lower it's HP below 50. "Repeat Ultra Ball Step, As Previously Stated." Moltres - Victory Road [Virmillion City] How to capture - Use a med. lvl ice pokemon, and lower it to 25-40HP. "Use the Ultra Ball Method Also." Note: People stated before tapping "B" or "A" simutanously, will help capture the pokemon. Pokemon Succsess Rate Doing This Is : 63% Worth a try I guess, Hope this helps. :) |

252 Special Defense, 128 Speed, 128 Special Attack Modest Nature Roost Ice Beam Calm Mind HP Water/Grass Super Sponge. Kill Rhyperior before it kills you. |
There is also water pulse since getting the right hidden power on a legendary is tedious..D:
|
OK I am a master with Zapdos. He was always my fav untill I started to like Houndoom.
Ok my Zapdos is LVL 100. And he is holding a magnet which makes him own ever more!! Ok now here are the best moves: Thunder Thunderbolt Drill Peck Fly Mines nature is: Mild Here are the stats if you need them: Attk:227 Def:198 Sp.ATK:302 Sp Def:233 Speed:233 (When I was training him, I hoped for higher speed) EXP:1250000 That Zapdos has only been beaten like 2 or 3 times. And when I beat the E4 he was at lvl 51 and he owned everyone. Exept Bruno's Onix's. And all the other E4 victories, he was lvl 100. So if u use my moveset, and stuff you will definatly win everything. BUT MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A MAGNET FOR ZAPDOS'S BEST PERFORMANCE!!!!!!! Later dude. |

...and maybe I should have specified whether this was ingame or battling other people.... I'm talking about battling other people |
i've been running a zapdos w/ choice scarf. fun stuff ^.^
Zapdos @ Choice Scarf Naughty/Rash Nature 188 ATK/144 HP/48 SP ATK/128 SPD -Thunderbolt -Drill Peck -U-turn -Roost/Light Screen it hasn't come much use in battle yet, but i love it nonetheless! XD as of articuno, it's my favorite of the three (was once my favorite legendary aside mew), but i haven't really come to a means of how to use it best other than the same old roost/reflect/ice beam/heal bell bit. |

hmmmmmm...... I see what you're doing with it... it's nice to see an electric poke that is immune to ground... that's why I'm eyeballing 'dos |
No the magnet was actually pretty usefull.
|
Look. Magnet sucks. 10% boost to ONLY Electric attacks, when it should only have one (seriously, what are you accomplishing with 2?) is NOT worth it.
EDIT: Oh, and one more thing. Saying that you beat lame ingame trainers that NEVER get better isn't a good enough reason to use a set. |
lol......... this thread is totally not covering what I initially hoped was going to be discussed.
|
Well, Samson gave you a great Zapdos spread. 1/3 done.
|
The problem with the birds is that both Articuno and Moltres are destroyed with Stealth Rock switching... make sure you have Rapid Spinner on your team with them
|
yea... I figured as much... especially the Moltres... at least spikes don't bother them.
|
umm both Arti and Moltres take 50% damage from Stealth Rock
try this [email protected] Specs Timid/Modest Nature EVs: 252 Sp Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP -Flamethrower -Air Slash -Overheat -Hidden Power Ice/Grass |
quick note on articuno: if you get the chance give it mind reader and sheer cold. it barley ever works, but its hilarious if it does :)
|
Quote:
You know that Sheer Cold is a banned hax move. Also, that is a failure combo. As soon as Mind Reader hits, they'll switch on the spot. Or knock you out the spot. |
I know sims, thats why i said if you get the chance. I meant like for using against kids at school or somethin, not for sompetetive play. IMO articuno isnt worth using due to x4 rock weakness
EDIT: in competetive play that is :) |
Well thats different. Usually, outside competitive play, people are too dumb to predict right after Mind Reader is Sheer Cold.
|
yeah, i draw most comedy stratehies from battles with my brother lol. Oh and im seriously flattered someone thinks highly of me :D
|
Can't give you ev's but this can work:
Moltres: @leftovers flamethrower roost airslash extrasensory. |
Zapdos is the only useable OU Pokemon I can consider, the rest are probably ending up crushed by Stealth Rock
