Battling thread... Thing
Hello people. I'm just here to talk about competitive battling. I have battled competitively for a long time soo yeah....
My usual pokemon: Scizor: x Scizor, swords dance, u turn,niron head Weavile:ice punch,dark pulse,areial ace, surf Kingdra: dragon dance, dragon pulse, hydro pump and Draco meteor Hydreigon: Draco meteor, flame thrower, dragon tail, dragon dance Chandelure: fire blast, night slash, shadow ball, will o wisp Ad my trolleon uh I mean umbreon: toxic, protect, substitute, rest>_> I mean iron head. For Scizor sorry. |
Scizor should have Bullet Punch...
And Weavile's moveset is as crappy as it could be... Having special attacks on it is a brutal waste. |
EVs and natures would totally be helpful here, man. These are CRUCIAL to competitive battling.
Anyway, Weavile should focus on physical attacking, as Ash already pointed out. It's risky to use in OU because of its common weaknesses and low defenses: -Pursuit -Ice Shard -Ice Punch/Night Slash -Low Kick Nature: Jolly EVs: 32 HP/252 Atk/224 Spe Item: Life Orb/Choice Band Ability: Pressure or -Swords Dance -Ice Shard/Ice Punch -Night Slash -Low Kick Nature: Jolly EVs: 32 HP/252 Atk/224 Spe Item: Life Orb Ability: Pressure None of Kingdra's moves benefit from Dragon Dance's Attack boost: -Rain Dance -Hydro Pump/Surf -Draco Meteor -Surf/Ice Beam/Dragon Pulse Nature: Modest EVs: 40 HP/240 SAtk/228 Spe Item: Life Orb Ability: Swift Swim or -Substitute -Dragon Dance -Waterfall -Outrage Nature: Adamant EVs: 40 HP/228 Atk/12 Def/228 Spe Item: Leftovers Ability: Swift Swim or -Draco Meteor -Hydro Pump -Dragon Pulse/Ice Beam -Surf/Ice Beam Nature: Modest EVs: 28 HP/252 SAtk/228 Spe Item: Choice Specs Ability: Swift Swim or -Dragon Dance -Waterfall -Outrage -Rest Nature: Adamant EVs: 152 HP/96 Atk/32 SDef/228 Spe Item: Chesto Berry Ability: Swift Swim or -Dragon Dance -Waterfall/Hydro Pump -Outrage -Draco Meteor/Hidden Power (Fire) Nature: Lonely/Naughty EVs: 136 Atk/136 SAtk/236 Spe Item: Life Orb/Lum Berry Ability: Swift Swim Hydreigon can't learn Dragon Dance. It has an extremely wide movepool, so take advantage of it: -Draco Meteor -Fire Blast -Superpower -Earthquake/Earth Power/Dark Pulse/Roost Nature: Rash/Mild EVs: 4 Atk/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb/Expert Belt or -Substitute -Dragon Pulse -Focus Blast -Fire Blast/Roost Nature: Modest EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Leftovers/Life Orb or -Draco Meteor -Fire Blast -Focus Blast -U-turn/Dark Pulse Nature: Modest EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Choice Specs Chandelure can't learn Night Slash. See what moves a Pokemon can and can't learn before coming up with move sets: -Substitute -Fire Blast -Shadow Ball -Hidden Power (Fighting)/Pain Split Nature: Timid/Modest EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Leftovers/Life Orb Ability: Flash Fire or -Overheat/Fire Blast -Shadow Ball -Hidden Power (Fighting) -Energy Ball/Trick Nature: Timid/Modest EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe (Timid) or 72 HP/252 SAtk/184 Spe (Modest) Item: Choice Scarf (Timid)/Choice Specs (Modest) Ability: Flash Fire But then again, Gengar does Chandelure's job better: -Substitute -Shadow Ball -Focus Blast -Disable/Pain Split Nature: Timid EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Black Sludge/Life Orb or -Substitute/Protect -Shadow Ball -Focus Blast -Hidden Power (Fire) Nature: Timid EVs: 4 HP/252 SAtk/252 Spe Item: Life Orb/Black Sludge Umbreon is terrible in OU because of its tendency to be used as setup bait. Sableye can do its job better due to Prankster giving priority to its support moves: -Taunt -Will-o-Wisp -Recover -Foul Play/Night Shade/Snarl Nature: Calm EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SDef Item: Leftovers Ability: Prankster If you really want to keep Umbreon, this is the best set it has to use; it can do Wish support: -Wish -Protect -Foul Play -Heal Bell/Yawn/Toxic Nature: Calm EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SDef Item: Leftovers Ability: Synchronize Scizor must always use Bullet Punch; it's very strong priority when paired with Technician: -U-turn -Bullet Punch -Superpower/Brick Break -Pursuit/Quick Attack Nature: Adamant EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 Spe Item: Choice Band Ability: Technician or -Swords Dance -Bullet Punch -Bug Bite -Superpower/Brick Break Nature: Adamant EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe Item: Life Orb/Leftovers/Iron Plate Ability: Technician or -Swords Dance -Bullet Punch -Bug Bite/Superpower -Roost Nature: Adamant EVs: 252 HP/40 Atk/216 SDef Item: Leftovers Ability: Technician |
In my opinion your team also needs a rock-type resistance. Despite the fact that Rock-type moves are uncommon in OU, Pokemon like Choice Scarf Tyranitar or Terrakion might be able to plow through your whole team if you're not careful. Ground and Fighting types are the best choices for countering and checking such Rock-types. Fighting-types have the ability to break through Blissey and Chansey, whereas Ground-types can break through Heatran and Magnezone. The choice is yours.
