Id say it depends on your teammates weaknesses and stuff like speed and raw power. If you want raw power that can take out a few pokes before dying, go with Absol. If you are water weak and RD teams are giving trouble, go with Toxicroak.
Toxicroak has better "longevity" though, it can take a few unboosted hits and retaliate back. SubPunching set is just great for that kind of play. We all know Absol's merits, its like a Garchomp with crap defenses( ok a watered down Chomp). So yeah its up to you... although for bulky sweepers Kanga and Poliwrath are much better. |
Okay everyone, can anybody give me a good moveset & strategy for a Cloyster?
Its stats are Docile Nature Lv. 100 HP: 219 Attack: 205 Defense: 449 Sp. Atk: 236 Sp. Def: 122 Speed: 180. Ability: Skill Link. |

Toxicroak is a bit faster, that's it. Quote:

I think you mean a +Def nature. Cloyster isnt really a good spinner or wall seeing it dies to any Special attack. Claydol is far better as it take no damage from Spikes / TS and 6 from SR, can use Shadow Ball to deal with anti-spin and use SR |

Actually I swept all of his guys excpet cresselia with garchomp's choice banded outrage. Cresselia was toast from two of T-Tar's crunches. |
Let me note, now that we have a thread dealing with the Battle Tower, take anything & everything concerning such over there. It was made to avoid cluttering up this stickie, so keep that in mind.

Even though not many people have Platinum yet, Scizor is starting to get me PO'd already. Can someone give me a reliable NON PLATINUM way to stop him?
|
A number of ways.
Heatran: 4x Bullet Punch resist. Just be careful of Brick Break/ Superpower Gyarados: Resists Bullet Punch and X-Scissor, and has Intimidate. Zapdos: Even without Heat Wave, STAB Thunderbolt hurts. Although Heat Wave is easily obtainable if you trade to someone with Platinum... Hippowdon: Bulky, and can force Scizor out with Roar. Infernape: Resists Bullet Punch, and can hit back with Flamethrower/ Fire Punch. Very frail, though. Shedinja: Immune to Bullet Punch, X-Scissor, BB/ Superpower, and Quick Attack. Can hit back with WoW. |
What kind of Zapdos are we talking about here? I have a Timid one (even though I think it's IVs are probably crap)? Basically, could I get a set for it?
|
Keep in mind that Heat Wave is an important part of these sets, so removing it puts Zapdos in a slightly weaker position...
Zapdos @ Life Orb/ Leftovers Timid 252 Spe/ 252 SAtk/ 6 HP - Thunderbolt - Heat Wave/ Thunder Wave?/ AncientPower? - Hidden Power Grass / Hidden Power Ice - Roost Zapdos @ Choice Specs Timid 176 Spe/ 252 SAtk/ 80 HP - Thunderbolt - Heat Wave/ Thunder Wave?/ AncientPower? - Hidden Power Grass / Hidden Power Ice - U-Turn If you really want to use Zapdos, just send it to someone with Platinum to put Heat Wave on it. Although in either case, you'd need to hack the proper IVs on him for HP Ice/ Grass. |
looking for mix spiritomb wall set
also im looking for a flareon physical set |

whats a set for a bold spiritomb since thats all i have and i can't breed another... mixed wall
|
Is there such thing as a special attacking choice scarf salamence?
|
Eh, just seeing if I could get a physical houndoom...
Houndoom @ Muscle Band Adamant/Naive 252Atk/252Spe/6hp - Howl - Thunder Fang - Fire Fang - Crunch/Iron Tail Meh, Probably screwed up bad... Help? Oh and can someone help me with an Ambipom set? |

[email protected] Band 252 ATT /252 SPEED / 6 HP Jolly Technician ~ Return ~ Focus Punch / Brick Break ~ Payback ~ Fake Out / U-turn / Fire Punch or [email protected] 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Technician ~ Baton Pass ~ Nasty Plot ~ Swift ~ Thunderbolt / Taunt / Substitute or [email protected] Orb 252 ATT /252 SPEED / 6 HP Jolly Technician ~ Fake Out ~ U-turn ~ Brick Break ~ Payback / Return =p |
meh, if you're going to try a pure physical set, it's not easy at all.
[email protected] Berry Adamant/Lonely or Jolly/Hasty 252atk/252speed/6HP Endure/Substitute Reversal Crunch Howl/Fire Blast Sub/Endure Reversal is your best shot at a physical set. Getting a Howl in the switch-in, Sub or Endure as you see fit, activate Salac Berry at 1HP, then sweep (Hopefully). If you go Fire Blast, that'll get rid of big steels, although you might have to invest in some special attack to do notable damage. Sub protects you from status, but Endure makes Stealth Rock/Spikes unable to ruin your plan. Sandstorm or Hail ruin both sets, unfortunately. Therefore, get a weather changer if you dare try this. |
still looking for a bold spiritomb set as a mix wall
|
Quote:
[email protected] Bold 252HP/252Def/6HP Rest Sleep Talk Calm Mind Dark Pulse Mono-attacker. More defence, less coverage. The sets D_A listed are generally more effective. |
Hey, what's a good lead that can counter Aerodactyl and Azelf leads? I've been considering Bullet Punch CBGross, but that obviously dies to both.
|
Quote:
Also there are fake out anti leads (e.g ape and weavile) and Meteor Mash + BP Lead gross does it too. Azelf also looses to tar. However preventing them setting up sr is a tough task. |
Can I get a moveset for Honchkrow?
