Cross Chop IMHO, quite simply because if they switch in something thats light, Low Kick does less to it.Where as Cross Chop, you get a increased critical hit rate and also you know roughly what the power will be of the move.

I also like mixed Vire where Thunderbolt>Thunderpunch for Skarmory and the [email protected] Orb or Expert

Cross Chop is an obvious choice. If you go with thunderbolt, for a MixedVire, I suggest HP[grass] in place of EQ.

Yeah, I'd go with cross chop. It's just more powerful.

Actually low kick is a automatic OHKO on T-tar. So is CC, but if you miss you're screwed..CC is good for Blissey though.

Cross Chop for Critical Hits! Have always Ice Punch for ground types... the biggest threat for Electivire are Swamperts...

Cross chop not so much for critical hits, but for power. Low kick is unreliable, although cross chop's accuracy aint so hot. Still, power is needed on sweepers. However, low kick eats rhyinferior and the heavy guys. Still, CC>LK IMO.

The question has been answered...but what doesn't make sense is your comment...100 base power is great...in fact, that's what CC has to begin with...so yeah, that didn't make any sense.
