Cresselia wants YOU... to fix it! :P
 
OK, I hate single battles, they're soooo boring. Doubles really spice it up.

What do you think of my Cresselia?

[email protected]
Trait: Levitate
Nature: Bold
EVS: 252 HP/ 120 DEF/136 SP. DEF

Icebeam/Psychic
Thunderwave/Toxic
Moonlight
Lunar Dance

Really my major question is Icebeam or Psychic. And Thunderwave or Lunar Dance.

Thanx for the rate in advance!

In advance, I would like to remind people that Cresselina is considered Uber by many competition's standards.

Cresselina @ Leftovers/Burn or Toxic Orb
Bold
252 HP, 128 DEF, 128 Sp. DEF
- Psycho Shift (if with orbs)/ Thunder Wave
- Future Sight/Aurora Beam/Ice Beam
- Moon Light
- Lunar Dance

That's my opinion. If I have to choose an attack over Future Sight, Ice Beam has better type coverage in competitive play (which for most parts, Cresselina is banned:pirate:).

Actually a uber is a Pokemon with above a 600 Total Base Stat. Cresselia is right at 600, along with Manaphy, Shaymin, Jirachi, and Celebi.

Jordan August 3rd, 2007 7:08 AM

Mew is 600, and it's banned for its high versatility, Slaking is 670 and is NOT ban due to its awesome ability. Well I guess I was mistaken, I thought Cresselina was 670.

Azonic August 3rd, 2007 7:09 AM

Celebi isn't uber due to numerous weaknesses.

Shaymin is sometimes banned, not all the time since it has numerous weaknesses, but less than Celebi.

I was thinking if I use the orbs and Psycho Shift, why can't I just use Toxic? It will protect me from damaging myself.

Jordan August 3rd, 2007 9:27 AM

You can do whatever you want with it, although Psycho Shift will tell the opponent not to use any status inducing moves against you which is a small boost in advantage. (Unless it's Spore)

I forgot about Toxic, that or Thunder Wave is fine.

Akuchiki Byakuya August 3rd, 2007 9:50 AM

Over 600 does not make a pokemon uber, you have to also factor in weakness, abilities, type, and movepool.

here's several Cressy movesets for you to delve in that i prefer over standard resttalk cressy:

Cresselia @ Leftovers
Bold Nature
252 HP/184 DEF/72 SP ATK
-Psychic/Ice Beam
-Charge Beam
-Substitute
-Calm Mind

CM cressy. substitute makes it top notch vs blissey and any status inflicters. psychic prevents gengar from destroying sub and putting it to sleep.

Cresselia @ Light Clay
Bold Nature
244 HP/192 DEF/72 SP ATK
-Psychic
-Reflect
-Light Screen
-Thunderwave

not many people use brick break anymore because... well, Close Combat. it's fun to take advantage of that and giving freedom to your fragile powerhouses.

Cresselia @ Leftovers
Calm Nature
252 HP/212 SP DEF/44 DEF
-Ice Beam
-Calm Mind
-Substitute
-Thunderwave/Trick Room

complete special wall and team support. rapes Blissey and sets Trick Room for slower, yet bulkier, sweepers like Torterra, Dusknoir, Snorlax, Camerupt, Cacturne, Octillery, and Slowbro/Slowking.

Azonic August 3rd, 2007 3:43 PM

I can't use Trick Room, I have a Rhyperior that has low speed, but it has Avalanche, which relies on speed. Cresselia is with it just to help that levitate.

Samson August 3rd, 2007 4:33 PM

ah. it is a shame that rhydon can learn ice beam, but not ice punch.

Azonic August 3rd, 2007 4:42 PM

I was thinking Icebeam/T-wave.

T-wave cant hit Ground types so I'll just Icebeam them 0 . 0
