Most powerful attack
ok Now! this isnt for the attack you like most, but what is the best attack in the game?
|
it all depends on the Pokemon itself. Just like how earthquake is the absolute best attack a Dugtrio can get, it's one of the most crappy attack possible for a Kyogre (when Kyogre can get water spout/hydro pump... eww...)
|
I personnaly think that Fury Cutter is if you use it right.
|
Each type has it's own best move.. you've got to figure out wich one is best for ur pokemon.. :)
|
im trainging a smeagle and im gonna use sketch so i need to know what moves to give it.
|
Give it moves that'll get it STAB. I dunno what type Smeargle is so I don't know.
|
I personally think that the best attack is psyco boost(power 120 or something around there).
|
tri attack
heatwave earthquake psychic is that a good moveset for smeargle? |
Tsk tsk... Smeragle cannot attack at all people... Its stats is horrid (in order to balance out Sketch)
Smeragle - [speed + / atk -] @ quick claw EV: Speed max and (balance out some defensive factor here) -SPORE -dragon dance -baton pass -substitute the common pseudohazers of suicune, skarmory or wheezing do not have lum berry/chesto. the only thing that's in your way is lum berry. People will send out their sweeper immediately to block spore, then OHKO you next turn. Should the pass ever succeed... there will be chaos. |
To get back to the first question:
Explosion with a base power of 250 (375 for Smeargle,STAB) |
dude, any pokemon can attack, if you dont play against people or in tournies, i play by myself. and with strong attacks any pokemon can be good.
and explosion stinks, id rather take out atleast 2 guys then jsut die on 1 guy just to kill him |
But it is the attack with the highest BP.There are way more better attacks.
|
Actually be annoyed at how powerful explosion is... some metagross can be the most annoying thing in the world having explosion, as it almost gurantees that it can take out 2 Pokemon then unless there's Skarmory to block explosion.
Smeragle cannot attack. With a stats of MAXIMUM 139 attack power, tell me what can you kill... even using aeroblast for Smeragle on a blissey will result in Blissey only being in yellow at most (critical hit then that's another matter). True that all Pokemon can damage the other, even Magikarp using tackle for example, but just how well can they do it? If their damage inflicted is close to zero, let's just call it "not being able to attack at all." There are much better things these Pokemon can do. Seismic toss and nightshade are powerful because it does fixed damage ignoring defense, and it's gurantee to do a certain amount of damage regardless of how crappy your offensive stats are. |
based on battle power, the most powerful atk for each type are:
NORMAL:explosion/double-edge/hyper beam FIGHTING:dynamicpunch/focus punch/superpower FLYING:sky attack GROUNG:earthquake ROCK:rock slide BUG:megahorn GHOST:shadow ball POISON:sludge bomb STEEL:doom desire-jirachi only/iron tail/meteor mash FIRE:fire blast/blast burn-charizard only/eruption/overheat WATER:hydro pump/hydro cannon-blastoise only/water spout GRASS:solar beam/frenzy plant-venusaur only ELECTRICITY:thunder/zap cannon(still dont know about volt tackle) ICE:blizzard PSYCHIC:psycho boost-deoxys only/psychic DRAGON:outrage DARK:crunch thats about it. |
hows it do two if u get killed from using it? im not talking bout in a double battle cuz this guys for ruby.

Best dark attack in terms of base power is crunch, not faint attack. Volt tackle should be listed in the electric section as well if crappy zap cannon with just 100 pwr is on the list (bolt is only 5 off from cannon) |
i know that, faint attack sucks.
|
I think Sheer Cold, Guillotine, Horn Drill, Fissure are the most powerful attacks in the game, but they are not so useful in battle, unless you have that pokemon with Foresight, Mind Reader or Lock On.
|
yeh cuz they have a lol chance to hit ,thats why i dont use them
|
I don't think any Pokemon that can learn 1HKO can learn any of the gaurenteed hit moves.
|
hey, who knows.... maybe through breeding.... like Pinsir with Foresight, it's possible, maybe...
|
Or cheating. Anything is possible with cheating.
|
Articuno is the most famous OHKO user in RS... He's the only one who knows sheer cold (which no type resist unlike all others) and mind reader. Go artiucno! ^_^
|
and don't forget the Poliwrath with Mid Reader and Fissure from GSC...
If you want my opinion on the best attack in the game, I'd say Toxic, if used appropriately. But then again, like most people with Crobat as a favorite pokémon, I prefer annoyer movesets to full-power ones... |
Quote:
Gengar is immune to all OHKO except Sheer cold, which makes Articuno a lot better than all other oHKOers |

|
Quote:
as for all other attacks that aren't OHKO, it all depends... against skarmory even explosion maybe a bit useless, but a flamethrower will be superior. Against Blissey, it's the other way around. |

and wat does volt tackle do? |
Double-edge like attack electric version... it's quite a powerful attack on Raikou and Zapdos I'll imagine. Currently there's no legal way to get the move yet o.o;
(Nintendo is probably hogging the attack for themselves in special promotions) Ice beam hits ice type right? ^_^; As long as it's not total resistance like Shedinja, Sheer Cold will hit (just like how horn drill can hit a Steelix without Sturdy) |
Well, if you want to be evil with Smeargle, try:
Spore Lock-On/Mind Reader Sheer Cold Recover |
does it matter whether its fissue, sheercold, or what 1 hit ko move it is?
|
yes it does. It MUST be sheer cold or else Gengar will mess up your Smeragle. Gengar is resistant to all OHKO moves except Sheer Cold. Anything with sturdy will mess it up as well (and metal chicken roams the earth)
|
If this is a Ruby/Sapphire forum, how can we legally be talking about Articunos and Smeargles XD
anyways...my ideal moveset for Smeargle: Lock-on, Mind Reader, Fissure, Sheer Cold it covers all bases |
fissure is completely unnecessary... put in spore there to help out smeragle's poor stats (if you can pull off spore first, then... you have a *better* chance) Then again, the name of the game is MC (Metal Chicken)
|
umm dude, smeargle is in coliseum and i traded him to ruby .
|
well in a way tmbjr is right... since ruby/sapphire is more for stuff dedicated to ONLY ruby/sapphire, this should be part of a strategy thing then? *moves*
O.o; |
i dont see why it matters but ok.
|
I don't think any move is the best. Every one is different and STAB really makes a difference. I guess Earthquake on a ground pokemon or Shadow Ball on Shedinja...
|
Shadow Ball never works good for me. I dunno y. I like Earthquake and Hyper Beam.
|
Maybe you're using it on a Pokemon with a poor Attack rating. Stick it on Metagross, Absol, Banette etc and watch it work its stuff. XD
|
Keep in mind that shadow ball is a ghost attack which is PHYSICAL. Doesn't make sense but that's how ghost type attack works. (It looks so "special" to me... attacks like crunch on the other hand... err... *thinks of Tyranitar if dark attacks are physical* nevermind)
|
Hmmmmm...................... That makes a difference. ("Physical, y didn't i think of dat?")
|
I believe the best move in the game is Toxic.
|
The best move is Rest. Clears up bad stat ailments and heals all HP. If you have chesto/mint berry (GSC) or double team or natural cure/early bird ability, usefulness is amazing. Then again, most Pokemon with early bird, people tend to prefer the other ability it can get. Or don't want to abuse Rest. And I forget if Natural Cure heals Sleep.
|
rest sucks...such a waste
|
But all natural curers have recover or softboil anyway... recover and softboil is a lot better than rest if there's natural cure.
Rest will be your bane awkwardsilencer... You only need to battle for a day and you'll start to hate resting Skarms so much. Just after 6 turns of brick break that Skarmory is finally red, but then oh dear back to full hp in green! So fun... -_-; |
Why even use Brick Break against a Skarmory? What happened to special attacking it to death?
If my natural cure Pokemon were paralyzed, I'd rather rest it up than use Recover. But that's just me. I hate paralysis. It's bad enough you can't move sometimes, it also reduces your speed. |
i think tackle is the most powerfull move :P j/k
|
well not all the time are you always in a favorable position that you have a special attacker out, or maybe you lost all of them already so all you got are brick breakers... it happens x_x;
Tackle isn't that bad. It's better than splash =p |
Quote:
|
And there's always the chance where that looks-so-happy-egg-Pokemon (but truly real evil deep inside) has toxic too... or switch to tyranitar or Skarmory/Weezing to take you out =/
For my planned set of Shedinja, I use both AA and Shadowball O.o; Protect/SD/AA/SB is what i'm roughly planning... |
