yeeaaah,but me no likey Gyarados. it its too OU.
btw Staraptor @ life orb Adamant 252 atk, 252 speed 6 sp. def Close Combat Brave Bird U-Turn Featherdance rate this please. |
Quote:
1/10 Featherdance sucks and it wont live long enough to use it lol =p Use Return so you can hit Zapdos etc and have a good secondary STAB move. Choice Band can be considered too. ALSO if your using Feraligatr >> Gyarados try to differentiate it from said Gyara, that being sets like SD/Sub/Flail/[email protected] salac berry.Otherwise your just using a suckier Gyarados. EDIT : Quote:
As for lead ape : - [email protected] Sash 48 Atk / 252 SpA / 208 Speed Naive Nature - Encore / Close Combat - Stealth Rock - Fire Blast - Fake Out Taunt can be used in the first slot too, but Encore is usually the better option. EDIT 2 : Gah i dont seem to be able to find said link. I had it stored but i cant find where T_T. Ill keep looking though.. |
Well since my staraptor hates me ill go with frustration instead of return....
last poke that needs rating for now Luvdisc (nn lolwut?) @ focus sash Timid 255 speed 255 sp. atk (as if it even could hurt anything...) Rain Dance Toxic Ice beam Surf Main priority is to set up rain dance,get a swift swim speed boost,let the opponet hit me, leave me at one hp, entoxicate them,and basically die. then i can bring in perhaps ,a nice little Gyarados/Milotic/Fearaligatr/or Swampert and wreak havoc on their team. |

I need to get a defensively supportive umbreon, yet, I can not decide which supportive moves to choose between.
Umbreon @ Leftovers Careful; 252 Hp, 252 Def Baton Pass Wish Mean Look/ Protect/ Taunt/ Toxic/ Substitute/ Confuse Ray/ Yawn Mean Look/ Protect/ Taunt/ Toxic/ Substitute/ Confuse Ray/ Yawn The main idea is umbreon would come in on something take hits and set up so that my next pokemon can come in freely and set up itself thus why no Spe EVs. Although I do not know which is best in most situations to either force a switch or trap. |
Mean Look and Toxic are the most helpful in most situations, although you need to consider your team layout.

Is this good for a GOLDUCK?
Golduck @ Hasty Cloud Nine 252 Atk, 252 Speed, 6 SpAtk ~Cross Chop ~Confuse Ray ~Shadow Claw ~Ice Beam Cross Chop & Confuse Ray are Egged from a Smeargle. |

Nature: Hasty Cloud Nine 252 Atk, 252 Speed, 6 SpAtk ~Cross Chop ~Hypnosis ~Waterfall ~Ice Beam This is the set you had, with some changes. or.. Golduck @ Choice Band Nature: Jolly/Adament Cloud Nine 252 Atk, 252 Speed, 6 HP ~Cross Chop ~Shadow Claw ~Waterfall ~Ice Punch But he's better as a special attacker.. Golduck @ Leftovers Nature: Timid/Modest Cloud Nine 252 Sp Atk, 252 Speed, 6 HP ~Surf ~Calm Mind ~Hypnosis ~Ice Beam or Golduck @ Choice Specs Nature: Timid/Modest Cloud Nine 252 Sp Atk, 252 Speed, 6 HP ~Surf ~Psychic ~Hidden Power Electric ~Ice Beam Cloud Nine makes him a great Sandstorm/Sunny Day/Rain Dance/Hail team killer if used correctly. Being used for this purpose, I think he could make good use of a bulky EV spread, but I'm not sure on the EVs. |

Clefable @ Leftovers
Calm Nature 252 HP / 152 Def / 106 Sp Def Cosmic Power Seismic Toss Thunderwave/Toxic Soft Boiled I've always wondered why there was never a Cosmic Power Clefable set listed anywhere...and it could work. After one CP, Clefable's stats are 394HP / 330 Def / 399 Sp Def...That's pretty darn sturdy in any environment...expecially UU. If she manages to get two in, That's 394 / 440 / 532. Proceed to paralyze or poison whaterver switches in, then plug away with seismic toss. Thoughts? |
Toxic over Thunder Wave on that, Seismic Toss isn't going to bother things like Gastrodon who can PP stall the Toss.
|
Critical hit says hi.
All Cosmic Power sets are pretty much solid on paper, but something like a Steelix uses that as set up fodder. |
Steelix would totally ruin the set obviously...it's immune to both statuses. I'll try her out and see what works.
|
Curse sets
The move curse is very weird. The type ??? is mysterious. Nevertheless it's useful. It damages the enemy(Ghost) or boost the stats(Others). And it can penetrate Protect!
This is my premiere Curser. Dusknoir @ Leftovers Curse Mean Look Will 'o' Wisp Confuse ray or Ice punch. or Umbreon @ Leftovers Confuse ray Curse Double-edge Ice beam. Cool huh? Other opinion? |
I think this may go better in the Strategies & Movesets forums in the Request a Team / Individual Move Set thread. Give me a second and I'll give you a link.

Curse is pretty useless on Ghosts unless you're doing a set involving a stat-boosting berry; and even then, Substitute is a much better option, as you leave yourself open for attacks with Curse.
Curse is best used on Pokémon that don't need the Speed and can afford to take a hit or two. Steelix is a great example, using Curse and Gyro Ball effectively. If you're using Curse on non-Ghosts, you always want a -Speed nature. This is because, if you're going to be butchering your Speed with Curse anyway, why bother sacrificing any other stat? :# |
As i'm new to competitive battling, I'd like to request an OU team for a complete beginner like me thats easy to use but very effective, also can it include Blaziken and Swampert on it and include all the moveset changes from platinum.
Thanks. |

Just because something isn't in the OU tier, doesn't mean it can't be used in OU or isn't good. Blaziken is a good Choice Bander, Baton Passer, and Reversaller, the latter two being something that Infernape CAN'T do. Heck, I use Raichu in standard battles and it owns like shizz. |

Also I'm not a team-builder-person, so don't look at me for anything other than criticism. =o |
Looking for a Moveset/IV Spread for a Magnezone, Modest Nature, with Sturdy as it's ability.
Thanks in advance, celuthea |

Magnezone @ Life Orb Modest nature Magnet Pull 4 HP / 252 SpAtk / 252 Spd - Agility - Thunderbolt - Hidden Power: Ice - Flash Cannon Sturdy is useless in competitive battling as OHKO moves are banned. Magnet Pull, however, lets you take out troublesome Steels, mainly Skarmory. After an Agility, Magnezone will be at 438 Speed, or 480 if you want a +Spd nature (Timid is best without Explosion). This set is makes Magnezone a lethal sweeper, with Modest giving it 394 Special Attack, and is pretty simple to use. Since this is off the top of my head, I can't remember what EVs you'd need in Attack to make Explosion OHKO certain things, but you'd probably want to use a Mild nature if you want Explosion. |

[email protected] 172 hp / 252 sp.att / 84 speed Modest Nature Trait: Magnet Pull - Thunderbolt - Hidden Power Ice - Substitute - Magnet Rise Anti steel . Alternately you can use Magnet Rise/Explosion/T-Bolt/Hidden power Ice 88 HP / 88 Atk / 248 Sp.Att / 84 Spe @life [email protected] You can use specs too where you put flash cannon >> Magnet rise 172 att / 252 sp.att / 84 speed. Or you can use rest/STalk/T-Bolt/Hp Ice same evs and nature as first set. Then there is even scarf max speed / max sp.att @ hasty w/ specs set. |
