Was wondering about my Torterra...
Tortrunk, the Torterra @ Adamant 252 Atk, 192 HP, 64 Def Overgrow ~Seed Bomb ~Body Slam ~Swords Dance / Rock Polish ~Earthquake / Rock Slide / Stone Edge I obtained this by importing a male Bulbasaur with the GBA Move Tutor skill "Body Slam" to breed with my Grotle girl. Turtwig w/ Seed Bomb, Double-Edge, Body Slam, Withdraw was the base for this Torterra (Pre-Ditto). I noticed the Smogon notes for Swords and R-Polish. Seems good. I can, and will, have one Swords & one R-Polish Torterra for a minimum of two for battles. I want to know, in regards to my Torterra: Together with Grass & Normal damaging moves... Will I want Earthquake (Ground) OR Stone Edge / Rock Slide for coverage? I also like Crunch but uncertain of how it would play against Torterra's counters. Item suggestion? Quote:
And yes Smeargle used a Seel. But thats because I wanted a Seel with Lick, Fake Out, Aqua Jet, Aqua Ring. ~H.o.t Dawn~ @__D |

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I'm having trouble with Swampy's movesets, here they are: Swampert @ Leftovers/Chesto Berry Careful/Adamant Nature 252 Evs In Hp/252 Evs in Spc.Def/6 Ev in Atk Curse Earthquake Avalanche Rest Earthquake is a great STABed move, with a base power of 150. Avalanche is for its grass weakness. With max Hp and Spc.def, it could probably survive a regular unSTABed grass move like Energy ball from a Gengar. Maybe. Curse is to raise both its atk and def, and Rest to regain the lost Hp. Chesto berry if your going with Rest, and leftovers otherwise. Avalanche is almost sure to get the double power, because of Swamperts low speed plus the speed lowering from Curse. But I'm not sure if Curse would do him any good... Lagging tail! lol. |
For coverage I'd go with Stone Edge.

I would like help with a moveset for a [email protected] ev: 252 hp, 252 SDef, 6 SpAtk

- Psychic - Flamethrower - Surf/Ice Beam/Grass Knot/Shadow Ball/Focus Blast - Calm Mind Psychic and Flamethrower together have fairly good type coverage against opponents, for the third option, you might want to go for Surf just because of STAB, Grass Knot to deal with other Water-types, Ice Beam to cover Dragons, Shadow Ball to cover other Psychic-types or Ghost-types, or perhaps the inaccurate Focus Blast if you're really afraid of those Dark-types. Calm Mind of course to boost Slowbro's sweeping abilities and its average Sp. Defense. I'll work with a Sweeping Slowking... But, You can put all EV's in Def. if you want... |
Need an EV spread for my Ursaring.
Ursaring @ Jolly Quick Feet (will probably give it a Toxic/Flame Orb) ~Facade ~Night Slash ~Cross Chop ~Protect Should I "Do-a-Ditto" for an Adamant Bear? |
Was going for a special wall Slowking
|
EV spread for Ursaring?
[email protected] Toxic Orb Jolly, Quick Feet 6 HP, 252 Atk, 252 Spe Facade Swords Dance Earthquake Night Slash (The movesets don't quite work for me.) Jolly is good enough, don't "do-a-Ditto" anymore, it isn't necessary... |

I'll need some help on my Machamp here. Constructed criticism please, if you do.
Machamp @ ___ (?Need help here?) Nature: Adamant (Adamant can work fine, but anything better?) - Cross Chop - Rock Slide - Flamethrower / Fire Blast - ___ (Need help here) Thanks in advance. |

Machamp @ Leftovers No Guard Nature: Adamant - Dynamic Punch - Ice Punch/Stone Edge - Payback/ Thunder Punch - Bulk Up EV spread I am unsure about. Max Atk for sure. With this you can pretty much hit anything and confuse it which can give you a free turn to bulk up if they switch or 50% chance they hit themselves. Choose the moves you think you need for type coverage on your team. For a Guts moveset you could try this. Machamp @ Choice Band Guts; Adamant - Close Combat - Ice Punch - Payback - Thunderpunch Again unsure of EVs. Max atk. These moves give good type coverage and will hit 100% of the time. Ill after effects of Close Combat is negated by switching. |
Ok, well Guts is probably not worth the hassle, as No Guard Dynamic Punch is so much better.
I have actually considered running a Restalk Set with Revenge/Payback, as it's rather slow. Regardless, the most effective Spread for the No Guard set is just 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Spd, although the Anti-Lead set often runs 252 HP/160 Atk/96 SDef for taking a Psychic from Azelf, however, you could potentially lose a bit, as that is for Modest Azelfs.(Azelves?) |
You guys have any ideas on an Anti-Lead? I've been loosing a lot lately, and I've been playing really great in the beginning but I think it's my team (that i focused to much on countering scizor/skymin) so you guys think you can help me out? Thanks.

Drifblim(Passer & Annoyer) Calm Substitute Baton Pass Hypnosis T-bolt/SHadow Ball Calm Mind is a possibility, but with an offensive move, Taunt won't shut you down. Unburden is a good ability, and he can use a pinch berry to get an extra boost to pass, but Leftovers words equally well and you don't have to worry about recovery from Substitutes. Quote:
adamant/jolly no guard 252 attack/252 speed dynamic punch ice punch thunder punch stone edge/rock slide If you pick band run Adamant and stone edge If you pick scarf run Jolly and rock slide Quote:

You should post an RMT or check Tortured_Soul's Leading guide, keeping in mind that it is a few months old. Actually, I might consider adding updates to those guides. Considering all the Platinum changes... |
Quote:
But thanks for the guide, I might consider Hera as a lead to take out T-Tar, Salamence, Gengar, Azelf, and Gyarados, but doesn't really do much to Bronzong, ScarfRade, and Hippodown/Crobat/Ninjask. |
Quote:
Anyway, Lum gross is a really cool lead, but yeah t_'s guide (which needs revamping) will help, i also have a useful link, but its to the forums part of smogon and we arnt allowed to link to other forums sadly, however ill pm it you if you wish. I also dont get why everyone is like "LULZ NO GARD IZ BEST ON MACHUMP", no this is really not true, at least with guts you can switch into status and effectively get a free choice band or a free swords dance boost if you already have a choice band. No guard is only really useful on the rest talker so you can try to hax yourself out of becoming set up fodder, on the choice bander no guard is complete trash as it hampers your chances to switch into status as said. (you loose to dusknoir, how embarrasing is that lol?) Rest talker : -108 HP / 144 Atk / 252 Def / 4 Speed [email protected], the max hp/max att adamant versions loose to cb tar which is hilarious. Cross Chop or D-Punch/Ice Punch or Stone Edge/Rest/STalk (choose ability accordingly) CBer : - 128 hp / 252 att / 128 speed @admant outruns min speed skarmory. Close Combat/T-Punch/Ice Punch/Payback @ guts (switch to jolly max speed max att with scarf) |

Raichu @ Leftovers Timid nature 4 HP / 252 SpAtk / 252 Spd - Fake Out - Encore - Thunderbolt - Thunderwave Hidden Power: Ice is viable on this set somewhere, giving the classic "BoltBeam" combo that everyone loves. I'd just suggest playing around with Pokemon that get Fake Out to nullify Focus Sash, and then see what other moves they have to cripple other common leads/switch-ins. That's how I came up with this Raichu. I <3 Thunderwave and Encore on here. :3 Other good anti-leads include Weavile and Infernape. |

Stone edge works great on him, and Rock Slide's just not strong enough. You could try this out: Machamp @ Choice Band Adamant 128 HP/252 ATK/128 SPD Guts Close Combat Ice Punch Thunderpunch Payback |
I need help with moveset and item to put in my :
Mamoswine @ _______ (help here!) Adamant 252 attack 252 HP 8 defense -Stone Edge -Giga Impact -Earthquake -Avalanche Plz help me ;p |
Quote:
Anyways... Run 192 SPD to outrun Jolly Tyranitar. 252 ATK is a must. Replace Avalanche with Ice Shard, because you don't want Mamo to move last. Use a Choice Band, and his attacks will hurt like hell. Not to mention, with Ice Shard he can completely screw over Salamence and Skymin. Giga Impact can be replaced with Superpower (assuming you have Platinum). If not, there are other options. http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/mamoswine Look here for other sets if you want something other than the Choice Bander. |

And I would deeply appreciate if you would PM me the Smogon link, thanks. |
Well being bored to death in my language class in school today, i thought of this
Feraligatr @ life orb Jolly 252 Atk, 252 Def, 6 Speed Dragon Dance Earthquake Waterfall Ice Punch Would this work? |
Maybe, but Gyarados does that better.
