Boltbeamers?
 
(Sorry that Im making lotz of threads... Its because I've been playing lotz of NetBattle XD)

"Only Shedinja, Lanturn and a few others can handle a Boltbeamer" ~frostweaver

So Boltbeamers are good... humm...

Lanturn @ Petaya Berry/Choice Band/Lum Berry/Leftovers
[+ Sp. Attack, - Attack] Trait: Volt Absorb
{EVs: 0 for attack, and put it all in Sp. attack}
Thunderbolt
Ice Beam
Surf
HP Grass

And...? o__o

Thunderbolt and Ice Beam are helpful, because they can stand alone as the damaging attacks that a Pokémon uses.

You don't need Surf and HP Grass.

It doesn't:

(a) have enough SpAt power to Special sweep effectively.
(b) need other Special Attacks, since Ice Beam and Thunderbolt cover all but three monsters -- granted, you won't KO many Special tanks.


It should:

(a) have some other disabling moves (i.e. Confuse Ray, Thunderwave). You may want to put rest on since it has high HP.

Without Surf, you can get owned by Dugtrio... Even Steelix would beat up that Lanturn...

Toothache October 20th, 2004 2:15 PM

Let's see then:

[email protected] Berry/Chesto Berry
EV: 252 Sp Att, 129 Sp Def, 129 Speed
Nature: + Sp Att/Sp Def, - Att
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt
Surf
Rest/Confuse Ray/Toxic/Attract

Chesto Rest if you feel like it, or just play around with annoyance moves.

You get owned with or without it for Dugtrio O.o;

Lanturn- [sp.def or sp.atk + / atk -] @ leftovers/chesto berry
EV: hp, sp.def, sp.atk
-ice beam
-thunderbolt
-toxic
-rest

Why is Lanturn going up against physical giants to begin with, is beyond me, but Lanturn is an awesome special sponger with high hp and decent sp.def. Toxic can cause a pain for many stallers (Lanturn ALWAYS have toxic back in the days of 202 where it's ALWAYS coming down to Lanturn vs Regice, and the two of them just keeps hurling toxic at one another then rest up for a major stallfest), and its quite an ideal Pokemon to use rest, chesto or not as well.

- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Rest
- filler

In my opinion the best boltbeamer, only 5 basepower Sp.Atk less than porygon but has stabbed Ice Beam

[email protected] Berry/Leftovers
- Psychic
- Thunder Punch
- Ice Punch
- Fire Punch/Calm Mind/Recover

Same stuff only with the punches :)
