@King_Lucario;
1. It must have an imperfect IV of 30 instead of 31. It won't matter that much so don't worry. 2. That depends a lot on what set you're wanting to run. The most offensive Heracross are the Choice Band and Choice Scarf versions. For Scarf (and any other set that's not the Choice Bander), I'd suggest 252 Atk / 252 Speed / 6 HP. The Choice Band version does not need that much Speed, so 106 HP / 252 Atk / 152 Speed would be okay. This spread also works for Sleep Talk versions. 3. That, again, depends on your set and your team's necessities. |
I need a bump on this page, so:
On my Gyarados, should I lose Aqua Tail for Hydro Pump? Also, DDance, what should I get rid of for it? Aqua Tail/Hydro Pump Dragon Rage Bite Ice Fang Thank you. |
Gyarados @ Life Orb
Adamant 72 HP/252 ATK/184 SPD Dragon Dance Waterfall Fill the last two slots with either of these moves: Stone Edge, Ice Fang, or Earthquake. I don't know why you're using Dragon Rage, but seriously, it's just fail in a battle of level 100's. And as said by Vance, never use a Special attack on Gyarados. It could have been used in Advance due to Gyara's physical movepool being just Physical Hidden Power+Earthquake, but now that Gyarados's physical movepool has been significantly upgraded, those special Gyara sets you see on RS Gyarados are move novelty now than ever before. |

Then again, Aqua Tail is not your best option. Waterfall, while it has -10 BP than AT, has 100% accuracy and a nice chance to Flinch the opponent. Since you'll be faster than most stuff after a Dragon Dance, you'll have many opportunities to Flinch them. Dragon Rage is a piece of crap move. You'll always do 40 damage with it. Always. It's ridiculously underpowered and never worth a moveslot in Standard play. Change that for DDance. Bite and Ice Fang is a good combination, so you can stick with that. |

Could I please get a moveset for Kricketune please? Thanks
|
try this one from smogon
[email protected] salac berry/life orb adamant/jolly 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Speed Sword Dance X-scissor Brick Break Endure/sing/aerial ace Kricketune is mediocre, even more than beedrill, i recommend using it only for ingame. |
Seconded. Kricketune utterly fails in UU, it isn't worth using.

So I should put these moves:
Stone Edge Close Combat Megahorn Swords Dance Just clarifying. I already EVd it for a Physical Sweeper (252 Atk and Spd; 6 HP) and I don't want to restart EVing. It took too long for me because I had school..-_- |
Well, if you're going by that EV spread, stick a Scarf on it and use this moveset:
Megahorn Close Combat Stone Edge Night Slash Also, just to make sure: does your Hera have Guts (ability)? Cause that's a large part of his usefulness |
Can I please have a moveset for Inferno, Dialgia & Staraptor?
Also, can someone please tell me some good items. Don't worry about natures and stats. Also, can someone please tell me three more pokemon that would be good for my team. |
If you plan on playing competitively, you NEED to worry about natures (and in that, breeding). They're a key part of the competitive scene, and if you don't get to grips with them right from the off (similarly with EVs) then you're going to lag behind.
And Dialga is of the Uber tier, and is thus banned from standard play. |
I didn't think about that. Well thanks anyway (second time in 10 minutes, lol).
|
Which one of these would make the best lead and with what move set?
Xatu Politoed Hitmontop Granbull Azumarill Girafarig Once you've done that, could you tell me what move sets to use for the other five to balance out the lead? I know this is a tall order, but I'm brand new to competitive battling. |

Leftovers Sassy Perish Song ~ Hypnosis ~ Bounce ~ Surf Ev's: 240 HP / 122 Def / 140 SpD The long forgotten little frog returns to launch an amphibious assault of status and pseudo-status. Politoed sports a decent assortment of stats, most notably, his Base 90 HP and Special Attack, and his Special Defense of 100. Coupled with the Water-type's natural resistances and Water Absorb, Politoed can switch into many Pokemon and threaten them instantly. Perish Song is the main attraction of this set. It casts a pseudo-status on both Politoed and the opponent that makes both of them faint in three turns. To avoid this 100% death, most opponents shall switch out. Use this to your advantage by bombarding the field with Spikes, Toxic Spikes and Stealth Rock. Hypnosis shall also cause switches, as it renders a Pokemon helpless for 1-4 turns. Bounce essentially makes one of the Perish Song turns pass by while being a powerful Flying type attack with a 30% paralysis chance, which may prove necessary later on in a battle. Surf is your obligatory STAB move. Sassy nature allows you to function as a special wall all while maintaining Bounce's power. The EVs provided give Politoed optimum Leftovers recovery and solid defensive capabilities all around. As stated earlier, be sure to place entry hazards before using this for maximum efficiency. As I said none of those pokemon are good leads but this seems to suck less, dont use this in Ou or you will get whalloped big time :) All credit to smogon for the moveset. |
Actually, Hitmontop is not that bad of lead if you use the Technitop variant.
Hitmontop @ Life Orb Technician Adamant 252 HP / 252 Atk / 6 Spe - Fake Out - Mach Punch - Close Combat - Bullet Punch / Pusuit And Lyulf, that set you recommended absolutely sucks as a lead. It's only effective after you've place entry hazards. |

Yeah Lyulf, it's for UU. Most OU Leads would give it quite a bit of trouble. Azelf and Deoxys to be specific. |
