Best Moveset for Modest Togekiss?
What is a great moveset for a Modest 31/x/31/31/31/31 Togekiss with Serene Grace ability?
I for one thought of: Dazzling Gleam - Fairy STAB Aura Sphere - against Ice and Rock weakness Air Slash - Flying STAB (plus Serene Grace increases chances of flinching) Psyshock - annoying Pokemon with high Sp. Def ... I don't know if this is a great moveset, what do you guys think? What moves should replace? Also, how should I spread its EV's? |
this set is bad because it is not making use at all of togekiss' awesome defensive capabilities
All your offensive ideas are generally ok but you should really consider maxing out HP EVs to make the best use out of an healing Roost, adding at least 100 evs to defense to cover yourself from Stone Edge and Physical steel attackers, and adding some stat boosting move like nasty plot. It not the best pokemon for competitive but i bet it can become a decent stall filler for your team if you really love using togekiss. Cheers! |
Like Caius said, Togekiss makes for a great bulky attacker, so you should make it like this:
-Togekiss w/Leftovers or Life Orb Nature: Modest Ability: Serene Grace EVs: 248 HP, 216 Defense, 44 Speed Moves: Air Slash, Thunder Wave/Nasty Plot, Roost, Dazzling Gleam or -Togekiss w/Life Orb or Leftovers Nature: Modest Ability: Serene Grace EVs: 248 HP, 216 Sp.Defense, 44 Speed Moves: Air Slash, Thunder Wave/Nasty Plot, Roost, Dazzling Gleam The first set is physically defensive/mixed, while the second is all out specially defensive. I prefer paraflinch (for the lulz), but Nasty Plot works well too. Togekiss does have some other fun moves to play with, like Aura Sphere and Psyshock, which gives it a bit a 4 moveslot syndrome problem, but the above will probably give you the best results. |
For Togekiss, I prefer to run Timid nature instead of Modest. This is my personal favorite set for Togekiss:
Togekiss @ Choice Scarf Timid Nature 252 SpA/252 Spe/4 HP - Air Slash - Aura Sphere - Dazzling Gleam - Psyshock/Psychic/Trick Now of course, Trick won't be able to be used until Pokebank, but with that coming out fairly soon it's a good idea to be thinking about Pokebank Pokemon :P |

My best piece of advice is to teach your Togekiss Thunder Wave and put some EV's into its HP/Sp. Def if possible, but definitely max our your Speed as far as it can go. Since it's not a Timid nature you won't hit the maximum reach for its Speed Stat, but Thunder Wave should help you out in this case. Also, you might want to take this on over the the Battle Center's Simple Questions & Answers. That's where most trainers go when they're looking for some quick advice on building their Pokémon for competitive battling. |
