Focus Energy and Rollout are useless given Infernapes other option, and Everstone offers nothing beneficial as a hold item. Check out this page for some better options: http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/infernape |
Slowking
Wanting to EV train my Slowking, wanted to see if this was a good setup.
Slowking @ Leftovers Nature: Sassy (+SpD -SpE) Characteristic: Quick to Flee (+SpE) Ability: Own Tempo EV Spread: 192 HP/68 Def/44 SpA/200 SpD/6 SpE Moveset: Surf, Ice Beam, Slack Off, Grass Knot/Fire Blast/Nasty Plot I am unsure about the last slot, or if I should trade a move in a different slot. Any help much appreciated. Thanks, Ken |
Quote:
[email protected] 212 HP / 44 DEF / 252 S.DEF Calm Nature Own Tempo - Surf - Psychic / Ice Beam - Thunderwave / Toxic - Slack Off The status is pretty much needed imo and Slowking is great at abusing it. Psychic is good for stab and the neutral coverage it grants and hits things hard so is preferable, though ice beam is ok for dragons and celebi and whatnot. If you are using Nasty Plot, use Modest but use the evs i gave and put the sp,def into sp.att and use Nasty Plot over the status. |

It stands for Rate My Team, otherwise we could just make rate my threads filled with nonsense. Uber, OU, BL, UU, and NU are the five main tiers, but I believe there's two more: Uber - Uber (OU ban list) OU - Overused BL - Borderline (UU ban list) UU - Underused NU - Neverused (not in the literal sense) Anything in a lower tier can be used in any higher tier, but it cannot go vice versa. The other two tiers are LC and NFE. LC - Little Cup - consists of generally 1st stage pokemon at level 5, has its own little metagame that no one plays. NFE - Not Fully Evolved - not so much a tier, but it's fun to face other NFE teams with your own. Some pokemon that are technically not fully evolved exist in higher tiers (such as Magneton and Porygon2) and therefore cannot be used in NFE teams. |

Ampbipom @ Focus Sash
Technician ability Jolly nature EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spe -Agility -Baton Pass -Fake Out -Double Hit Double Hit > Return is my choice for breaking Subs. |
I'm having a hard time working with my Ampharos. I have no clue what moveset to use; any suggestions would be /massively/ appreciated.
|
Quote:
Ampharos Modest 252 HP/ 252 Sp.Atk/ 4 Defense Thunderbolt/ Discharge Hidden Power Ice/ Hidden Power Grass Focus Blast Substitute/ Signal Beam Now i would reccomend Discharge on this because Amhporos is really slow and could really use the extra paralysis support. Now i would use Hidden Power Ice so it has the "BoltBeam" combo which only Lanturn Shedinja and Magnezone family resist. Focus Blast is there for power and substitute is there for poke faster then it and pokes that can threaten it with earthquake. Or you could always give this thing Choice Specs for alot of power Ampharos Quiet 252 Sp.Atk/ 200 HP/ 58 Attack Thunderbolt/Discharge Hidden Power Ice/ Hidden Power Grass Focus Punch Substitute Now if you plan on using this in OU then here is the set you wanna use as it lures in blissey and focus punch will take care of her Ampharos Calm 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 SpD Light Screen Reflect ThunderBolt Toxic/ Hidden Power Ice/ Grass Now this is more of a tank set for Ampharos and is somewhat a supporter pokemon with the duel screens. Or you could always give it heal bell for even more of a supporter |
Quote:
Depends on what you want Ampharos to do. Ampharos @ Leftovers Nature: Modest Evs: 208hp/252sp.A/ 48spe - T-Bolt - Focus Blast/Focus Punch - Hp Ice - Sub This is Ampharos most powerful set (Besides Specs). If you are planning to use this in OU go with Focus Punch over Focusblast and use a Quiet nature and shift 20 evs to att from hp. You can also use HP grass over ice. http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/ampharos You can also look here for more sets. Edit: Looks like the person above me got to it first lol. |
What counters scizor and t-tar?
|
Quote:
& also Machamp, & I think Hippowdon... VS Scizor... I'm thinking Heatran... But do ya need something to take them BOTH? |
Quote:
Best counters vs Tar are bulky fighting types aka Hitmontop, Hariyama, Machamp etc. Specs Luke is an amazing check as it can switch in on both stabs and threaten to KO with Aura Sphere or Vaccum Wave is Tar is of the DD variety. Bulky grounds are excellent against it too, Hippowdon, Swampert, Gliscor etc Scarfers like Flygon are ok checks too and so is Scizor. Scizor counters are Rotom-A, Gyarados, Heatran, Magnezone, Skarmory, Bulky Flamethrower Salamence, Zapdos etc. Just make sure you try to avoid Stealth Rock with some of these though as it really wears them down with U-Turn. If you want something to deal with BOTH i reccomend Scarf Iron head/Fire Punch Jirachi though this SHOULD NOT be your first switch into Scizor as U-Turn REALLY hurts. Fire Fang Gliscor can deal with both decently too. Inb4bulkyape lol |
Bulky Grounds counter Tyranitar, like Hippowdon, and Rhyperior, they both have excellent HP and Defense and can counter back with STABed Super Effective Earthquakes. Tyranitar also hates Scizor, with a 90 Base Power Bullet Punch with Choice Band and its Super Effective without a Bibari Berry its gunna take Tyranitar down, Scizor also has decent Defense and can use a Super Effective U-Turn as well.
Scizor's biggest counter is Magnezone (Scarfed is better counter) Magnezone can come in on Banded Scizor while its locked into Bullet Punch which Magnezone resists X4, and can OHKO back with a Super Effective HP Fire and Scizor is trapped due to Magnet Pull. Heatran is another counter but not as good as Magnezone because it cant trap it but it still can OHKO it deffinately |
Quote:
|
Quote:
Ummm ever hear of priority? It doesnt matter if Tyranitar is faster when Scizor is using Bullet Punch and whoever said that the Tyranitar wasnt Banded or was a Boah? No-one said it was Jolly and had a Bibari Berry, theres plenty of Tyranitar sets other then a Jolly DD Bibari Berry T-Tar. And even with a Bibari Berry Bullet Punch still does about 50% so all Tyranitar needs is alittle prior damage, and without a Bibari Berry Scizor can OHKO it with either Bullet Punch or U-Turn (SR would help) so get your facts straight......... |

if you said Spin blocker then I should use Rotom-A with them, but whats a good moveset for rotom-A if its gonna be a spin blocker ? ( Im thinking of the ResTalker ... )

I thought of this idea for a Politoed tank that i'll be using in my UU RainDance Team, i'm not sure whether it will work and any feedback would be highly appreciated.
Kermit (Politoed) @Chesto Berry Adamant Nature (+Attack, -Sp.A) 200 Sp.D, 252 Hp, 56 Attack ~Belly Drum ~Rest ~Ice Punch ~Waterfall So what it's basically meant to do is to set up Belly Drum, then use rest. The Chesto Berry will then wake it up and it will proceed to cause massive damage to the opponent. What do you think? |
Quote:
http://www.smogon.com/download/sprites/dp/186.png @ Salac Berry Water Absorb Jolly Nature (+Spe, -SpA) 252 Atk, 6 SpD, 252 Spe 30 HP IVs - Belly Drum - Substitute - Waterfall - Ice Punch/Return This set allows you to Belly Drum, in a sub, trying to max your speed for a sweep. Personally, I wouldn't use Politoed, especially in a Rain team, since there is plenty that can outrun this set, even with the max Speed and Salac berry. If you still need a Physical Attacker that needs to be fast, I'd Recommend using this thing. http://www.smogon.com/download/sprites/dp/424.png @ Leftovers Swift Swim Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpA) 252 Atk, 6 Def, 252 Spe - Bulk Up - Waterfall - Ice Punch - Crunch/Brick Break This thing still has minimal set-up but gets that much wanted speed boost in the rain. Crunch or Brick Break is really up to personal preferance. Crunch gives you type coverage over Alakazam, but Brick Break stops others from ruining your sweep. |
It's meant to be able to take strong Special hits and Deal out strong physical hits, it's a tank. I don't need a sweeper like the ones you posted. Also, i am Dead-Set on using Politoed.
|
Quote:
|
No, i'm trying to say that i need a tank set that can do what i said i wanted it to do, not a sweeper set...
|
Well I guess its Muk which would help you :
Muk @ Black Sludge Nature : Careful Ability : Sticky Hold EVs : 252 HP / 80 Def / 176 SpD -Curse -Poison Jab / Gunk Shot -Brick Break / Ice Punch / Fire Punch -Explosion / Shadow Sneak / Rest. this is your ideal special tank for UU. |
Quote:
If you really want a tank, take a bulky water, like Gastrodon or Quagsire. |
Hey, is this a good set for a PHYSICAL Shiftry:
[email protected] Sash Adamant Nature 252/Atk 252/Spe 4/HP -Swords Dance/ Substitute? -Explosion -Seed Bomb -Sucker Punch Feel free to leave any other suggestions! BTW, It'll be used for Singles & Doubles I NEED YOUR HELP PEOPLE! (PREFERABLY TODAY!) |
Quote:
But yeah you want Low Kick, prolly >> Explosion or steel types and Cacturne etc totally shut you down. Use a Life Orb, Sash sucks on anything bar leads (which shiftry should NOT be doing), SR, Spikes, T-Spikes, weather all make it useless. |
Hi! i would like you to give me an opinion about this moveset for cresselia:
Cresselia @ Leftovers Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 Hp/ 4 Sp.Atk/ 252 Def modest nature ~ Ice beam ~ Charge beam/Psychic ~ Moonlight ~ Calm mind |
Quote:
|
Calm Mind adds on Sp. D too... So why can't he use it on a defensive spread? i use the same ev spread with calm mind on my Mesprit and it works perfectly, just remove some of the attacks and replace them with walling moves. Oh, and give it a defensive nature like Calm or Bold.
|
How do you pass on natures via breeding?
|
Everstone on the female or ditto.
Also dont use cress for CMing its like the worst Cmer ever, really utter set up fodder/pursuit bait. :/ |
Quote:
P.S. wouldn't Charge Beam+Ice Beam be good on Cress? |
So, if i made this moveset?
-Ice Beam -Psychic/Charge Beam -Moonlight -Reflect I can understand why CM isn't the best choice... but why should i take off Charge Beam/psychic for thunder wave? |
Quote:
T-Wave is more for a status set. T-Wave, Lunar Dance, Reflect, Light Screen, Magic Coat, and Gravity are all good support moves for a Cress. |
What would be the best moveset for a modest gyarados? Right now he knows Ice Fang Aqua Tail, Dragon Rage, and Twister
, and what about a hardy typhlosion? He knows Lava Plume Swift Flamethrower, and Quick attack Thanks! |
Quote:
Most Typhlosion are Timid or Modest running either: Overheat, Focus Blast, Fire Blast/Flamethrower, HP [Ice/Grass/Electric] or Sunny Day, Solarbeam, Fire Blast/Flamethrower/Eruption, HP [Ice/Electric] with EVs: 4 HP/252 Sp.Atk/252 Speed Neutral natures aren't good, it's better to decrease at stat by 10% you aren't using and increase one 10% that you are using than have them all grow based on their base stat and IV. |
[email protected] Berry
Gentle Don't know its precise EVs but at lv. 100: Atk 178 Def 162 Sp. Atk 319 Sp. Def 185 Spd 281 -Dark Pulse -Hypnosis -Psychic -Focus Blast I need something that can perform basically the same task as this but just take hits a bit better. Most of the time Gengar either does really well or just gets 1/2 hko'd. Thanks in advance :) |
Quote:
Timid Nature 4 Def / 252 Special Attack / 252 Speed - Shadow Ball - Focus Blast - Thunderbolt - Hidden Power Fire / Hidden Power Ice / Protect / Hypnosis For the most part, Gengar wants a set like this. Obviously you can play around with the last moveslot, but the first three moves are generally the most useful. Life Orb >>>> Micle Berry please, Micle Berry is useless for the most part and you want the extra power given by Life Orb. Timid and max EVs in Speed and Special Attack will make him a lot more useful for you ;D |
Quote:
|
Quote:
But if you already have insurance against Gyarados / Suicune and all the others, feel free to switch it for another attack. HP Fire is a good choice as well =P |
How does a fully defensive Steelix sound? Pretty predictable?
Something like this: http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/e/e7/Spr_4d_208_m.png Impish nature 252 Def 252 SP.Def/ATK Stone Edge Earthquake Ice/Fire/Thunder Fang Taunt (My team choice to prevent people using SR or SD) |
Quote:
You should use 252 HP evs over 252 def evs. Steelix still has 436 defense without def evs. So there is no real need for def evs. You want 252 sp.D evs to help take special attacks better. Taunt is bad on steelix as it is so slow. Use Roar or Explosion over that. And use SR in the third slot. Steelix causes many switches so getting up SR is pretty easy. |
But yeah, I thought of maxing Def, as a Max Def Steelix is what no-one expects nowdays and then it (hopefully) has enough defense to withstand a couple of STAB EQ.
Taunt is for making people unable of spamming Swords Dance, because if that happens, Steelix is screwed, even after those defence EV:s |
Quote:
Steelix is too slow for Taunt besides Roar forces them out of play anyway and they lose their swords dance boosts so is the better option. |
Help me with this set :
Dusknoir @ Leftovers Impish (+defense ; - Sp. Attack) or adamant (+attack ; - Sp. Attack) 252 Hp / (?) Attack / (?) Def - Will-o-wisp - Pain-split - Earthquake - Fire punch / ice punch / Thunder punch / Shadow sneak / pursuit / Sucker Punch This pokemon will be in a Stall team without Sandstorm or Hail and will or as a Rapid Spin blocker and a tank, so i would like some Ev training in attack |
Quote:
Can anyone calculate if Cresselia (Modest nature, 32 SpA EVs) can OHKO Tyranitar using HP Fighting after +2 SpA boosts. This is the set I'm thinking of: Cresselia @ Leftovers Modest nature EVs: 252 HP/152 Def/32 SpA/72 SpD -Charge Beam -Ice Beam -HP Fighting -Lunar Dance / Moonlight Split on what to use for last slot. |

I have read a few times that a impish natured hippowdon is arguably the best nature for a lead yet i have tried to breed for one and i have been having difficulties. I have just bred an adamant one with slack off and very nice ivs. Is there a way i can rework the following moveset/effort values to make a decent lead from an adamant nature or can anyone make a suggestion on a different moveset with this nature? thanks in advance
Hippowdon (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Sand Stream EVs: 252 HP/88 Atk/168 Def Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Earthquake - Slack Off - Stealth Rock - Roar |
No, Hippowdon NEEDS Impish.
|
Could someone recommend EV spreads and Nature for:
Salamence @ Life Orb Intimidate -Dragon Dance -Outrage -Earthquake -Fire Blast / Stone Edge (Leaning towards Fire Blast) Thanks in advance. |

What are some good NU Pokemon for a Baton Pass team?
I'm thinking things like Girafarig and maybe a FriskTrick Bannette. |
What the gliscor lead set ,I cant find it on analsis?

Quote:
Impish Nature 252 HP / 40 Defense / 216 Speed - Taunt - Stealth Rock - U-Turn - Earthquake / Roost Or something like that iirc... |
[QUOTE=Aurafire;5348344]Pure Baton Pass isn't a very good idea for any tier, unless you're just doing it for fun of course. But uh...I'd just look through everything that can learn Baton Pass in NU and try to throw something together that isn't totally useless. It's hard to suggest specific pokemon because...either way it's probably not going to work very well =( [QUOTE]
What makes you say Baton Pass won't work well? |
Baton Pass is one of the less viable strategies, mainly because it is so easy to counter. Any PHazer can do wonders (Unless you use Ingrain, but meh), plus Haze will work regardless (Since most BP teams are more focused on actually boosting and passing, Taunt isn't all that common in the first place). Plus, a single critical hit can ruin the entire process, plus it is just Toxic Spikes weak.
|
Would this set work?
& can someone complete it? Celebi @ Leftovers/ Life Orb Nature: Modest/ Timid EVs: ~Heal Bell ~Leech Seed/ Recover ~Leaf Storm/ Grass Knot ~Psychic |
If Wake-Up Slap is used in conjunction with Technician while the opponent is asleep, does the doubled base power still get an additional boost of 50% because of Technician?
This would make the final base power 180. |
Help an older player out.
I grew up on R/B/Y and G/S/C.
When Ruby and Sapphire came out, I was really dissapointed and never really put my heart into a Pokémon game after that. Now Heart Gold is coming out, that's going to change. I want to make an amazing team and battle online. Of course, my hopes and dreams where quickly shattered when my friend asked me "Do you know what EV training is?" and told me "You don't stand a chance if you don't." I understand the basics to it now but could someone help me out? What's the best way to start making your dream team? After you've finished the game? What's the best way to learn new stratagies? Should I watch other battles or just through trial and error? I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out. 8D |

Hey everyone. Is this a good moveset for my Tangrowth I'm getting in the future? This Tangrowth is for my Sunny Day team
Nature: Naive EV's: 200 Atk/96 Sp. Atk/214 Spe Ability: Chlorophyll Held Item: Expert Belt/Life Orb Power Whip Earthquake Ancientpower Hidden Power Fire/Sleep Powder This one could really be a major threat to many team since Sunny Day is active. It's Speed doubles itself to break the 400 Speed limit. Imagine, a giant bush of vine going 400mph. The Power Whip is it's main move. It's slaps the Pokemon rally hard in the face, even the Water, Rock and Ground types faint from it! Earthquake tears open the ground for Fire and Electric types. And scraps Heatran into old iron if it has a chance. Now you all might be wondering if AncientPower is U.S.E.L.E Double S. USELESS! Well, it's not actully. It's for Flying type like Charizard, Salamence, and even Gyarados. I've seen so many of these Pokemon now it's not even funny. Now I'm not sure if I can put Hidden Power Fire on my Tangrowth...It's nearly impossible to get the right type and base power on the correct Tangrowth. Sigh...I wish there is someone that has a Hidden Power Fire on there Tangrowth. Therefore it'll be more brutal when Sunny Day is up. Sleep Powder, is really reliable. It puts the Pokemon to sleepy time to make the opponent more annoyed. Plus, Chlorophyll makes Tangrowth super quick and puts Garchomp to sleep...if it's not Choice Scarfed, that is. Well, that's my own Tangrowth moveset. What do you think? Any improvements? Perfect? Not so great? Please reply. Don't make me a lone wolf. |
Hmm, that set is impressive, just change the EV's to 200 Atk / 80 SpA / 228 Spe and give it a Life Orb.
|
Okay, thank you. I'll try that.
|
Can anyone reccomend a good lead that can set up Rocks and BP Agility.
Or maybe two Pokemon, one that can Taunt or Rapid Spin and set up Rocks and the other to BP Agility as long as they compliment eachother nicely. |
This is the start of a more def/sp. def oriented team I'm making. The lead is undecided and I'd like Relicanth to be the only sweeper. So what Pokemon would be good as other members?

Need a 4th move for this Gliscor set also need a good nature and EV spread for leading.

Quote:

How about...
Gliscor @ Focus Sash Jolly nature 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Speed -Stealth Rock -Earthquake -Roost -Stone Edge |
Quote:
Ability: Sand Veil EVs: 192 HP / 96 Atk / 220 Speed Jolly Nature (+ Speed / - SpA) - Earthquake - Roost - Stealth Rock - Taunt / U-turn This is much better, the EV spread allows you to always 2HKO max HP / 12 Def Metagross with Earthquake, while outspeeding Jolly Lucario and enemy Gliscor (so they don't Taunt you first), and the rest is put into HP for bulk. If you are planning to use Gliscor offensively, I suggest not putting Stealth Rock on its moveset for better coverage. And using something like Swords Dance / Earthquake / Roost / Stone Edge with the EV spread of 252 HP / 40 Atk / 216 Speed (you can use move more EVs from HP to Attack if you want to) and change Gliscor's Ability to Hyper Cutter so Gyarados, Salamence, etc doesn't cut your Attack. Also, Focus Sash is not really good on something as bulky as Gliscor; you want to take advantage of its survivability by using Leftovers. |
Quote:
I'm keeping SR and my Focus Sash because this is a lead. |

Edit: And what exactly would you do to that Starmie or fast Ice beamer once you had survived, only to then switch back in on SR/Spikes/Toxic Spikes/A priority move? And I've now lost all hope of anyone ever replying to my post... |
Quote:
|
You should be using Azelf for a suicide lead role who does it much better with higher Speed (and it can use Explosion). Gliscor is more of a defensive lead that returns later in the battle to check other Pokémon like Lucario.
