It's a Ratata with Endeavor, Quick Attack, and a Focus Sash to catch things off guard. It's a really awful set though (don't use it), and I don't think many would consider Ratata cute...
Suicune is definitely a "cute" pokemon you're going to want to try out. It's really useful in a lot of different areas. |
ahhh. i do think rattata is pretty cute (i love rats! and whats cuter than a rat thats my favouite colour!) but the move set doesn't sound too promising...
Suicune is pretty darn cute, i'll check it out! thanks.xx |
How about a Togekiss? Awesome Sp.Attacker and paraflincher, and cute to boot!
|
i have a togekiss :) yaaaay,xx
|
LittleMissChikorita, your thread would be better suited here.
~Merges~ |
i'm hoping i'm in the right place...
i was wondering if anyone had a good move set for misdrevus? x |
could someone give me a set for a tyranitar? preferably sp. attacker...

[email protected] Specs / Life Orb / Expert Belt 160 HP / 68 ATT / 252 SP.ATT / 28 SPEED Quiet Nature - Dark Pulse - Super Power / Focus Punch - Flamethrower - Ice Beam This set is cool as hell. Super Power/Focus Punch for Lax, Bliss, foe tar and heatran etc. Thunderbolt can be used in either of the last 2 slots too if you want to hit waters. 28 Speed is to outpace bliss. |
Thanks,ill use superpower since the atk drop wont really matter.
|
does anyone know a moveset for a trap setter (Spikes etc.)?
|
Does anyone know what pokemon could counter the following that doesn't have a ground or fire type weakness with decent speed?:
Skarmory, Forretress, Donphan, Hippowdown, Celebi, Suicune, Vaporeon, Gliscor |
Mew, Arceus, what else can you ask for? Those guys may be Ubers, but they have great stats! ... When will Aruseusu be released in Japan, I can't wait for one... Er... But there is an unofficial event here...... Meh.

Infernape @ Life Orb Naive 24 Att / 252 Sp Att / 232 Speed Nasty Plot Fire Blast/Flamethrower Close Combat HP Ice / Grass Knot This thing is a beast wall breaker. Unfortunately, you'll have to choose between Grass Knot or HP Ice. Grass knot for the bulky waters, or HP Ice for Gliscor/Celebi/Dragons. It's the closest you'll ever come to countering all of those pokes you listed. |
Aurafire... He could just go with the all-out Mixape, and put HP Ice>> Nasty Plot. I find that set a lot more useful.
|
Quote:
He's also playing a risky game if he comes in on Hippowdon or Gliscor, as EQ is a pretty brutal OHKO. |

The Lead Set: Breloom @ Toxic Orb Adamant/Jolly Nature 252 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 6 HP (All EV sets, Natures, and Items are the same for most sets, so I won't repost them.) Spore Mach Punch Seed Bomb/Stone Edge Protect This sets spreads around spores and scouts out leads to see what they have in store for you. The Sweeper: Spore Mach Punch Focus Punch Stone Edge A very well-knwon physical attacker, destroys a good portion of teams. The SubSporePuncher: Substitute Spore Stone Edge/ Seed Bomb Focus Punch SubPunching and Subsporing combined into one set. Pretty nasty, but too common too be much of a threat. The SubSeeder: 42 HP/ 212 Spe/ 252 Atk Substitute Leech Seed Spore/ Seed Bomb Focus Punch Somewhat like the previous set, with the main purpose coming from Leech Seed instead of Spore. These are just a few of many sets that Breloom has. |
With the advent of platinum I'd have to say the sweeper set of breloom needs stone edge or Thunder Punch.

Magmortar @ life orb
MIld 86 Att / 252 Sp. Att / 172 Speed ~Thunderbolt ~HP [Ice} / HP [Grass] ~Cross Chop ~Lava Plume |
that ^ or Fire Blast / Flmethrower >> Lave Plume. Alternately specs/ scarf is a nice set where you go Focus Blast >> Cross Chop and use Modest/Timid max speed & sp.att.
[email protected] 252 HP / 252 SpA / 6 Speed Modest Nature - Ice Beam - Fake Tears - Hidden Power Fighting - Wish [email protected] Specs / Choice Scarf 252 SP.Att / 252 Speed / 6 HP Modest Nature - Ice Beam - Shadow Ball - Hidden Power Fighting - Water Pulse / Sleep Talk / Wish |
Alrighty, I'm looking at making a stall team, what are the 6 least used and viable walls, preferably 3 tanks and 3 walls; 2 physical, 2 special, 2 mixed.
|
Well, my team has a successful staller that can even stall Palmer for a very long while. Try using Cresselia as a staller. High Defensive stats, Substitute, Moonlight, Toxic, and Leftovers = 1 staller.
I said what I use about 1 or 2 pages ago. |
What is a good moveset for a Jumpluff lead in OU?
|
What resists Fire and Ground and has a fire move of it's own?
|
Moltres / Ho-Oh / Charizard / Salamence / Dragonite are a few.
|
In a matter of opinion, out of these three moves, protect, light screen, reflect, which one would benefit me more in the battle tower? I know reflect and light screen could benefit the whole team, but protect seems pretty useful if used correctly.
|
Quote:
For example, I use both screens on my lead Yawn Uxie, Reflect aiding Calm Mind Lucario, Light Screen for my Garchomp. With Yawn providing ample time to set up and sweep. I don't really see what you'll get much out of Protect, UNLESS, you're using a toxic stalling strategy, then it'll be useful. So overall, I'd say it depends overall on what you'd like to accomplish, if you want to be aggressive and set up sweep, screens. If you want to play more of a defensive game, Protect. When used correctly is iffy, because if the AI starts setting up Double Team, Protect won't save you, while screens can prolong team member survivability and more of a chance to hit. They certainly both have positives and negatives, but I prefer screens. |
Quote:
|
Quote:
Oh! And I forgot to mention, another reason Protect seems useful to people is the 'scouting' ability. This is useless. Why? This page that details Trainer's Pocket Monster detail. So scout for yourself, no need for protect to do it for you. |
My previous question wasn't answered so I guess I'll ask again.
What is a good set for a Jumpluff lead in OU? |
Jumpluff @ Leftovers
Trait: Chlorophyll Nature: Timid / Jolly EVs: 188 Defense / 68 Special Defense / 252 Speed - Encore - Sleep Powder / U-turn - Substitute - Leech Seed Simple annoying strategy and SubSeeding. It's one of the fastest SubSeeders. |
can some1 list a few decent special sweepers who can be used along side dd mence and sd scizor!not counting gengar and heatran!this is for the battle tower and im tired of using gengar and heatran!
|
[email protected] Belt (or Life Orb if you're going with wifi)
Timid nature, Natural Cure 252sp.atk/252speed/6HP Surf Ice Beam Thunderbolt Psychic/Grass Knot For the Battle Tower and your team, this serves as a Fire/Ice resist for the short time, and Starmie will take out other waters/fires aimed at your other two guys. |
What should I make with this? Or more so, should I make anything at all?
Mudkip - #258 (Impish) HP: 26 Att: Invalid Def: 25 - 26 SpA: 25 - 26 SpD: 25 - 26 Speed: 4 - 5 I was thinking..... [email protected] Impish Ev: 252 hp/60 defense/60 sp defense/138 attack -Curse -Stealth Rock -Waterfall -Earthquake I did some quick math, and with 60 Ev in defense, and sp defense I get at least 300+ in both, I need max hp, and the rest into attack for stab. |

Ehhhh, just my two cents~ I'll post my Battle Tower team in a bit. :V |
um..i have a slight stratergy..not really solid
salamance @focus sash adamant 252spd/252att/6hp dd dragon claw fire blast EQ after 1 dd outruns most and sweeps entire teams scizor @leftys 252att/252spd/6hp sd x-scissor iron head roost so many resistances not hard to setup i got to 70 wins with this team and lost i was using differnet fillers at the time now i wanted one solid special sweeper im thinking [email protected] orb will o wisp flamethrower dark pulse np will it work? |

One Pocket Monster with Thunder Wave (or any crippling status, really) puts your entire team out of commission. Houndoom can buffer Will-o-wisp, but it'll never enjoy sleep or par. A lot of threats stand out to me. [ 466 Lapras Adamant Lum Berry Dragon Dance Body Slam Waterfall Confuse Ray HP/Atk ]
[ 893 Garchomp Jolly Focus Sash Earthquake Dragon Claw Fire Fang Crunch Atk/Speed]
Oh, and Double Team Discharge Zapdos also runs through your team. :x I'm kinda surprised you even made it that far. Actually, double teamers like Rotom would toy around with you. (Thunder Waving you in the process) And Palmer even looks to be quite a tough pill to swallow. #21, Milotic will hypnosis Mence then Ice Beam, or anyone then Hydro Pump. Rhyperior laughs at every party member. Even if you have Earthquake, it'll Ice Beam. Scizor lives in fear of Flamethrower, even if you have Houndoom to absorb it, how do you stop it? Because Rhyperior resists it regardless, then Houndoom'll be afraid of Rock Wrecker. I guess you could let Houndoom die for Salamence to set up on the rest turn, but even then, its gotta walk through two very bulky Ice Beam Pocket Monsters. #49, Regigigas has Ice Punch for Mence, Brick Break for Houndoom; and Palmer has Heatran to bark Scizor up a tree. Cress just sets up Calm Minds, moonlights off any damage. tl;dr To me, I just don't see how you win in Tier 4 effectively. (Battles 49+) |
ok it has a alot of threats...looks like i very lucky
scizor is adamant houndoom jolly 252sp.att/252speed/6hp i have been t-waved alot and i get haxed but jus cause im slower desnt mean they can ohko me sala after one dd can ohko a majority of pokes as for second palmer i carried a t-tar along with me heatran and regigas died to Eq by sala for cress t-tar ddes like 2 times and koed with crunch. for the first palmer dragon claw took out dragonite.ryperoir got 2 koed byEq and i had 1 hp left dc took 2/3rd s for milotics health and scizor came in and koed milotic i have already got 100 wins but now i wanna try with different pokes.will the houndoom work? |
Quote:
Oh, I didn't know you had Ttar when you faced him. I thought Houndoom has been there, I'll read better next time. XP I'm not sure if Houndoom is the best option, but if you're willing to face a number a threats & status, go for it. I mean, you've got 100 so far, have some fun with different ones if you like then. |

____________________________________________________ Well..there aren't any Pokémon who can use Bulk Up and Baton Pass in UU, actually. Just Bulk Up. |
Oh. Guess I'll have to stick to Scyther and Gorebyss then :P
Anyways after asking in the QnA thread, this is a little moveset I made for Dragonite: SubBulkyNite @ Leftovers Adamant - Inner Focus 252 HP, 60 SpD, 196 Spe - Roost - Dragon Dance - Dragon Claw - Substitute The idea is to Sub on the switch, then DD up. Roost when you get the chance. Dragon Claw for STAB and hitting every type for nuetral except steel. It would work best with a Magnezone. Here are some calcs: Vaporeon 56 SpA Ice Beam vs SubBulkyNite 75.6 - 90.1% Vaporeon 56 SpA Ice Beam vs Roosting SubBulkyNite 37.8 - 45.1% Timid Heatran Fire Blast vs SubBulkyNite 24.1 - 28.2% Timid Heatran HP Ice vs SubBulkyNite 75.6 - 89.1% Timid Heatran HP Ice vs Roosting SubBulkyNite 37.8 - 44.6% Life Orb Gyarados Waterfall vs SubBulkyNite 24.3 - 28.7% Life Orb Gyarados Stone Edge vs SubBulkyNite 81.8% - 96.9% Life Orb Gyarados Stone Edge vs Roosting SubBulkyNite 40.9 - 48.4% AS you can see, most Ice attacks do less than 50% while roosting, and you should outspeed most pokes anyways after 2 DD's I have tested this, and it worked great, but I lost due to my crappy team at that time >.< |
does anyone have a good blastoise moveset with surf and icebeam?(leaf green)
or a pidgoet moveset.i think i want pidgeot to have featherdance and wing attack. |
I was thinkng of traing a Rampardos to meet these standards.
Rampardos @ choice scarf jolly mold breaker 252 atk 252 spe 6 hp Zen Headbutt Head Smash/ Stone Edge Earthquake ?????????? need help on deciding what the last move should be |
[email protected] Scarf
Adamant/Jolly (Adamant for pure power, Jolly to outpace Gengar) 252atk/252speed/6sp.def Stone Edge EQ Crunch/Pursuit/Head Smash Pursuit/Head Smash Zen Headbutt doesn't really offer coverage. Anyway, this set is your best bet for it unless you have a ton of para support. Stone Edge and EQ are your obvious moves. The third slot should probably use Crunch to smack Dusknoir and Cressy around. The 4th slot is just down to whatever you didn't use in the 3rd slot. Pursuit will hit a fleeing Gengar (which you outpace with Jolly. However, note that you only do about 60-75% unless it switches, but Crunch kills if you think it stays in) Head Smash is your general suicide move, stripping off a whopping 49-57% from Suicune. (2HKO with SR) |
^
If you want to use Ramp anyways, do so with either Trick Room or BP support. Also, its advised against as its weak to three priority moves, two out of which are common(Vacuum Wave & Mach Punch). But it is very viable, nonetheless |
I use Rampy all the time, but with a choice-scarf. he's useless without it. And I HATE the Rock Polish set, ewww. Anyways, for Rogue-Styrke.

Need a good Psychic Pokemon to complete team for Platinum
Now have Infernape Floatzel Carnivine Staraptor and Lucario Just need a good Psychic type Pokemon |
Rotom formes, Dusknoir and Spiritomb are good choices.
|
So I was thinking of a Dual-Screen Alakazam, similar to Deoxys-S, for my OU team. What do you guys think of this set? This is a leading set.
Alakazam @ Light Clay Timid Nature / Inner Focus 252 Spe / 252 HP / 6 SpA - Light Screen - Reflect - Taunt - Psychic |
It could work well in theory, but I doubt Alakazam will get both screens up since its not ver ybulky. Deo worked cause it had a fair amount of bulk backing the sped up.
If you want a dual screen lead, I think its best to stick to Bronzong @ Light Clay Sassy EV's: 252HP / 144Def / 114SpD Heatproof ~Light Screen ~Reflect ~Stealth Rock ~Gyro Ball Granted you dont stop the opponents' rocks, but you get your own. Heatproof would be the good option as the popularity of Azelf and Infernape leads is going up, it may enable you to last that one crucial turn more to complete your setup. |
Lol at novelty Alakazam...could it work?
[email protected] choice band 252 atk/252 spe/6 hp Adamant -Ice Punch -Fire Punch -Thunder Punch -Shadow Ball |
Shadow Ball is special. Go Psycho Blade / Zen Headbutt over it.

How is Gengar in the metagame

_______________________________ The EV's are fine if you don't want to use standard. |

I don't use EVs, but what's a good moveset for a lax Infernape?

1) Lax is one of the most useless ass natures ever. 2) If you don't use EV's, nobody can give you a set. Sorry, but that's the way it is. |

Anyways i gotta question about Choice Band on Staraptor I tried it on Shoddy and while battling a Hitmontop with my Staraptor, the only move my Staraptor could use was Close Combat 0.o Why? |
Lax? um......... why dont you try Modest, Niave,Adamant,Jolly,Lonely,Naughty,or Timid?
|
Quote:
Because thats what choice band does. It limits you to one move and increases the power of that move by 1.5 (50%), you can switch moves when you switch out. |
Quote:
Standard means like...a certain generic set. E.g; [email protected] Scarf Levitate 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Modest/Timid Shadow Ball Focus Blast Trick HP Ice / Thunderbolt. ^ That's pretty much what a standard set for Gengar is. |

Here's your standard fare Typhlosion
Scarf lead [email protected] Scarf Mild or Rash 144atk/252sp.atk/112 speed Eruption Focus Punch Overheat/Will-o-Wisp HP Ice/Earthquake Typhlosion is a great starter with a massive 150 BP Eruption at hand, and it will always start at full power thanks to it leading and SR isn't out yet. Focus Punch with the atk EVs 2HKOs Blissey easily. Overheat takes place for the main STAB when Eruption gets weak, but Will-O-Wisp is always fun to toy with. HP Ice is strongly perferred over Earthquake, but it does destroy Flash Fire Pokemon like Heatran and Houndoom easily. |

does anyone know a pokemon who can use sub and setup sword dance apart form garchomp.

Heracross and Lucario are two big ones in that line. Get a Sub, Swords Dance, and then try to Sub down to a Salac Berry, and proceed to sweep.

Yeah, those came to mind first. ._.; There's over a hundred Pocket Monsters that can learn Swords Dance + Substitute if I recall correctly, just gotta find what you need in terms of resistances, etc and who fits the niche in that slot of your Battle Tower team. |
Can I have a good moveset for a Special Sweeper Gengar please? I'm thinking of Thunderbolt, Shadow ball, Focus Blast and Will O Wisp.
