Legendary Dogs
 
What would you guys reccomend for movesets for the legendary dogs in crystal, specically Entei? Sunnybeamer or Swagger/Psych Up/ Roar/ filler?

Mana Lugia July 4th, 2004 1:06 PM

Suicune Standard:
Rest
Roar
Surf
Filler (Ice beam, Toxic, Psychup, Mirror coat, usually)

Raikou Standard:
Rest
Crunch
Thunderbolt
Reflect/Sleep talk

Entei: Not sure
But if you go with that set, you'd need a physical attack on the filler, like frustration (unfortunately the only good physical attack it learns ;_;)

Maybe Return instead of frustration on there to make a good physical sweeper, but I sort of like the special sweeper better.

Pokedragonfire July 4th, 2004 2:42 PM

Maybe:
Special Entei:
Flamethrower
Rest
Sunny Day
Err, Solar beam???
(don't yell at me, I know its the worst :P)
Also, on a physical one, maybe a headbutt/king's rock combo? Too bad he has no paralyzing moves X_x

Da_Green_Teddy July 4th, 2004 4:01 PM

Hmm.., I don't know..
BTW, I just found out that Entei can learn Rain Dance, which is kind of Freaky O_o

Mana Lugia July 4th, 2004 5:05 PM

The sunnybeam set is a decent alternative, I guess, it's a shame Entei doesnt learn a lot of good physical moves

Da_Green_Teddy July 4th, 2004 5:54 PM

Well, its either
[email protected]/lefties
-Sunny Day
-Solarbeam
-Fireblast
-Rest/return
or
[email protected]
-Swagger
-Psych up
-Fire Blast
-Return
The second fits his stats more, but i don't know. I'll see if Frosty notices this and see what he might be able to recommend.
Edit: You're right Iveechan, I changed it out for roar.

Iveechan July 4th, 2004 6:03 PM

Entei should atleast have Fire Blast in the physical set. Its special attack is so-so, but with STAB and all that power, Fire Blast is decent.

Frostweaver July 4th, 2004 7:19 PM

too bad there's no overheat or else that's even a better option

Swagger and psych up is such a long lengthy setup that it's dangerous... one boosted physical attack can hurt Entei a lot. Plus if items heals off confusion... I don't like to risk swagger/psych up combo.
