I remember that Critical-Hit damage doesn't increase with attack boost or decrease with opponent's defense boost. Still a useful move Sword Dance is, but I am not sure Absol have what it takes to last long enough to utilize it.

I assume this is a signgle battle team. Needs a Sp. Sweeper and a Physical Wall. This team is too weak to handle the likes of a Hydro Pumping and Earthquaking Salamence and a Leaf Blading Leafeon.

Absol is too slow to sweep. Weavile on the other hand only has Choice Scarfin Hera and Aerodactyl as a threat in addition to walls >_>

It's pretty much standard, except instead of Crush Claw, replace it with Aerial Ace. If you get the opportunity for a boost, then Swords Dance/Agility.

hmm. someone else said in a different thread to use crush claw instead of aerial ace cause most fighting moves dont come from fight type and that most come from focus blast from alakazam gengar and gardevour


EDIT: still need suggestions people

a support togekiss could do nicely (nasty plot/wish pass)

Togekiss @ Leftovers
Bold
252 Hp/128 Def/128 SDef
-Nasty Plot
-Wish
-Baton Pass
-Air Slash

most people like the paraflinch (hax) togekiss.

some people think that a 60% chance of flinching and a 30% chance of not attacking is hax. meaning its cheap.

but for gengar.. i use this.

Gengar @ Wide Lens
Timid
252 SAtk/252 Spd/4 Hp
-Hypnosis
-Shadow Ball
-Focus Blast
-Energy Ball

some people like tbolt but i have electivire so i use energy ball for coverage

That explains why Togekiss is banned in competetive play. @[email protected]

It isn't hax, its only hax when holding Kings Rock.

^ I apologize if I miss the sarcasm, but Togekiss is allowed and abused.

As for Weavile, unless I am mistaken, you need Emerald to get such a move set (Ice Punch & Crush Claw Zangoose) without the help of a Smeargle.

Weavile @ Focus Sash/Life Orb
- Ice Punch
- Screech/Swords Dance
- Night Slash/
- Crush Claw/Brick Break/Return

I smell an Aggron weakness. :cheeky:

Weavile really can't take much of a hit, so I'd use a choice band...maybe. Just make sure you have night slash, ice punch, and brick break. Just use the best physical moves you can get on it. Choice Band is your friend.

thomas, make your own thread with this team and we'd be happy to rate it. Until then, we are focusing on Naos' team.
