mix sweeping absol
Hi I'm wondering if I should have this set on absol:
Absol: @Wise glasses Trait:adamant Flamethrower hp [dark] (?) Psycho cut stone edge So what do you recommend? |
wierd mixed absol im not good with mixed but good call on HPdark maybe dark pulse instead
|
1) Absol sucks at special sweeping, believe me I did it once
2) If you are going to mix sweep, never EVER use a Nature that lowers one of the attacks, that's pointless |
Yes it does suck but I had no choice but to use it. (It had power 70 for hp dark)
|
Even with a neutral nature & Life Orb, Flamethrower does little over 80% damage to standard Skarmory when it comes from Absol
Sure the surprise factor comes into it, but really it ain't worth it IMO |
absol can't special pr mixed sweep. It's that simple. Just run the physical set if you wish to use it.
|
That's still no excuse...:\ Go with the Physical Set: [email protected] Sash 252 Att/ 252 Spd/ 6 HP Trait: Super Luck Nature: Adament -Swords Dance -Psycho Cut -Sucker Punch -Stone Edge Alot more effective. |

Absol @ Leftovers (M) Trait: Super Luck Adamant / Jolly Nature - Night Slash - Curse - Baton Pass - X-Scissor. Not too sure on this one. |
Hey! Absol's have feeling's to you know ;_;.
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/pictures/sugimoris/sugimoris359.png Absol @ Life Orb Trait: Super Luck Rash Nature (+SAtk -SDef) EVs: 80 Atk / 178 Spd / 252 Sp.Atk - Thunderbolt/Flamethrower - Swords Dance - Night Slash - Ice Beam EVs put it at 230 Spd, outrunning Adamant Breloom and everything slower (Tyranitar, Gliscor, etc.) Besides, 80 Atk EVs is all I need with Swords Dance on here. The Thunderbolt/Flamethrower option is just for whatever you see as being a bigger threat to this thing: Bulky Waters or Steels not named Heatran. *Calculations* Night Slash (Post-Swords Dance): 66.81% - 78.57% to Bold Max HP/Def Blissey. 76.13% - 89.41% to Bold Max HP/Def Cresselia. 105.78% - 124.49% to Impish Max HP/Def Dusknoir. Thunderbolt: 83.23% - 97.90% to Impish Max HP/Min SDef Skarmory. 63.45% - 74.62% to Bold Max HP/Min SDef Slowbro. 45.79% - 53.96% to Bold Max HP/Min SDef Suicune. 43.91% - 51.52% to Bold Max HP/Min SDef Milotic. Ice Beam: 88.61% - 104.46% to Impish Max HP/Min SDef Tangrowth. 64.76% - 76.19% to Impish Max HP/Min SDef Hippowdon. 81.51% - 95.83% to Impish Max HP/Min SDef Donphan. 148.87% - 174.86% to Impish Max HP/Min SDef Gliscor. Flamethrower: 45.56% - 53.85% to Sassy Max HP/98 SDef Bronzong. 62.36% - 73.35% to Adamant Max HP/Min SDef Metagross. 51.49% - 60.64% to Timid Max HP/Min SDef Jirachi. 176.84% - 208.19% to Relaxed Max HP/Min SDef Forretress. 83.23% - 97.90% to Impish Max HP/Min SDef Skarmory. Yah. |

Well, it IS kind of a surprise to see an Absol OHKO your Foretress with Flamethrower/Fire Blast. They can't set up SR and Spikes or go boom. Same for Gyra, who would normally set up on an Absol, get a nice chunk taken out by T-bolt
