Charizard is supposed to be a Special sweeper, just like Dragonite and Garchomp are Physical sweepers. I also EV trained a Charizard, for Special sweeper.
Timid @ Choice Scarf/Leftovers EV's: 252 Sp. Attack, 252 Speed, 6 HP Flamethrower Air Slash Dragon Pulse Focus Blast While he is better for Special sweeper, he can also serve as a decent Physical sweeper. Adamant is a nice nature to use. Adamant @ Choice Band/Scarf/Leftovers EV's: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 HP Flare Blitz Outrage/Dragon Claw Earthquake Wing Attack/Roost In the right hands, 'Zard is a nice edition. While he is one of my favorite Poke's, in the Competitive world, his defenses are a little too frail. And that 4X weaknesses to rock are a turn down. However, it's not completely useless, it's speed stat is nice and above-average. But a Garchomp with Stone Edge is more than enough to counter it. |

Gonna throw my two cents about Charizard in. :3c
Charizard actually can run a viable and effective physical set. It gets Belly Drum, Swords Dance, Dragon Dance and Hone Claws. It doesn't get a way to up its special attack without Solar Power. Charizard @Salac Berry EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature -Belly Drum -Substitute -Fire Punch -Earthquake This is a good set but requires a lot of patience. Since Zard isn't the most bulkiest Pokemon to grace the metagame you have to be careful when using Belly Drum. You could try a different set focusing around Dragon Dance. Flare Blitz could be a good choice too. If you don't want to start from scratch and spend ages trying to get the right Iv's and such; use Pokemon Online. :3c |

Um... I have a few questions.
1. The RU tier list that members go by on Pokecommunity is the one by Smogon, right? (Yes, I want to get in to battling, and specifically RU tier) 2. Not so much a question but; what are the viable sets for Honchkrow? I haven't looked in a lot of places since... you know... I'm new at this. 3. Rate my abomination? [email protected] Lens 252 Attack/252 Defense/6HP Adamant Nature [Super Luck] - Night Slash - Brave Bird - Sucker Punch - Roost/Foul Play/Pursuit So... yup. This is a pretty situational moveset that it based around critical hits. I guess I'll try to explain why. This Honchkrow would only be used in RU tier, in case it needed to be said :3 So Honchkrow's ability boosts the critical hit ratio of his moves. Along with the boosted chance of a critical hit from Night Slash and Scope Lens, he should be landing a crit roughly 1/4 of the time. Coming from a 125 base attack it *should* at least merit a switch in. I chose Pursuit for this reason. I really don't like pursuit that much since it could easily screw you over if your opponent doesn't switch out very often. Foul Play is also an option since a 95 base attack, with STAB, with the possibility of it going critical, is pretty sexy. Roost was tossed in since maybe your opponent expects you to carry Foul Play and switches in something more defensive. Or if you really feel confident that Honchkrow will survive past one hit. Brave Bird is there for super STAB yummy-ness. Sucker Punch is also there in case you decide to switch in Honchkrow for a Pokemon that doesn't set up and you know will attack. This set is pretty unrealistic in the term that a lot of things kill Honchkrow due to his stellar Sp. Def and Def. base of 52. I would hope that you Baton Pass an Agility or two or manage to set up a Reflect and Light Screen before hand. Um... yeah. Destroy as you see fit. I'd like to get a feel of how to build a proper Pokemon. |

2. Honchkrow can use Life Orb + 4 attacks or Choice set as seen here: -Brave Bird/Drill Peck -Sucker Punch/Night Slash -Heat Wave -Superpower Nature: Naughty EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb/Choice Scarf/Choice Band Ability: Insomnia/Super Luck Or -Brave Bird -Sucker Punch -Night Slash/Drill Peck -Heat Wave/Superpower/Hidden Power (Grass) Nature: Naughty/Adamant EVs: 252 Atk/4 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb It can also go for a somewhat gimmicky Nasty Plot set: -Nasty Plot -Dark Pulse -Heat Wave -Superpower Nature: Rash/Naive EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb Ability: Insomnia/Super Luck 3. Your current set has no way of dealing with Steel Pokemon. Honchkrow loves using Heat Wave and Superpower to hit them hard. It's best to use the first set I posted. Also, Honchkrow needs the Speed EVs more than it does with the Defense ones. |
Online on pokemon white, how come they can always attack first?

Quote:
Mach Punch, Bullet Punch, Aqua Jet, Extremespeed or Quick Attack. They are moves that will go first. C: Or, they could of used a move that reduces your speed or raises their's. |

Lack of SuperPower on Krow is concerning lol

What would be the best held item(s) for Shell Smash Cloyster? I know that White Herb and Life Orb are the primary options, but I want to explore other possibilities:
-Life Orb: obviously, it makes my attacks hit harder at the cost of some HP. -White Herb: returns defenses to normal after a Shell Smash, but it could be burned out by an Intimidate or a random stat drop if Cloyster hasn't Shell Smashed yet. -Focus Sash: ensures that I get a Shell Smash in, but that makes me more prone to priority -Lum Berry: cures a status taken while setting up or sweeping. So which item(s) would be best? (like I said, I already read the Smogon article, but I want to explore other items to use) |

(Also life orb doesn't increase speed t3chwolf3, so I don't know why speed was mentioned in relation to that :x) |
