why iron tail

75% accuracy and the only type it covers (other than the stuff covered by EQ) is Ice and most of the time its coupled with water which makes iron tail do nuetral damage anyway

You could stick with the usual CB set, but I've created a little something different that could work :P

TOXIROS
Tauros (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- Toxic
- Protect
- Earthquake
Idea here, is to Toxic, Sub, Protect, and keep stalling the opponent, EQ is to cover Steals and Poisons that are immune to Toxic, only problem here, is a little fella called GENGAR

VERSAROS
Tauros (M) @ Liechi Berry
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- Facade/Return
- Hidden Power [Ghost]
- Earthquake
The idea here, is to Sub down to activate Liechi, though the CB set gives you the same effect, you don't have to switch out to use another move with this one :P

Okay so really I had 2 different sets :P

I just came up with the last set just then, but the first one I've had stored in a box for a while, I tested it out and liked it, but I was gonna keep it a little secret - It definately trips people up who try to Stat you because they think you are CB'ed :P.

Go me and my non standard sets!

Down with standards!

:P No problem man, I like it when people ask for movesets on a specific pokemon, I get to pull out what I have stored, or it gives me a chance to mess around with a new pokemon :P

Just note that Skarmory ruins Tauros, no matter what set you run, unless you whip out Fire Blast, which won't do enough to scare Skarmory away.

Skarmory is also entirely unaffected by the first set, as is Gengar.

Tauros at FB will end up getting pwned easy =|...

Tauros @ Choice Band
Facade or Double Edge/Return Facade here is good since you have no protection from effects. Weezing is out there.
Earthquake Standard for physical sweepers.
HP Ghost Protection from Gengar, stay clear of Dusclops.
Iron Tail Only other option with limited movepool. Only defence against Aerodactyl.

Fissure? Not in competitive play. I think your second move is submission. 2 recoil moves on one poke? Ill pass. Why Take Down when Double-Edge exists? EQ is the only thing in that set worth keeping.

I think his Tauros is in-game Jaws.

Fissure could beused to scare away some pokemon like Suicune, though it won't scare him at all, it'll have to hit or you lose. :P

I think Tauros can use Thunder.Correct me if I'm wrong.

Fissure is too inaccurate.

I know it's inaccurate, I was thinking about using it as a means to force the opponent to switch, and maybe get rid of their Calm Minds or something.

Just to scare them away.

That's where Roar comes in handy.Against a STAT upping opponent.

Edit:New moveset

Thunderbolt(Against Skarmory and Suicune)
Iron Tail(Rock types)
Double-Edge(STAB)or Roar(Again,against STAT uppers)
Earthquake

Looking again,it would be kind of pointless to use Normal attacks on
it since nothing has a weakness against normal.

Facade is also an okay alternative for Double-Edge/Roar.Gets
STAB and double damage for Poison/Paralyze/Burn.:D

And also because Toxic is really popular.

If they feel you are going to Roar, they will probably just attack you, which is why Fissure can be used to perhaps scare them off.

And hey, who knows, it might hit :P

That's only if you like to take a chance.And Tauros can withstand anything except
a fighting attack and maybe a pyschic attack.

I edited my earlier post.Take a look.

Oh,and try to max out it's Sp.def.And maybe some physical Def.That way
it can withstand enough to Roar.And some Speed EVs.

Psychic is neutral against Normal battle wise, it's just the cards that have Normal weak to Psychic.

His physical defense isn't that bad, he can take a Fighting hit, if only just one.

His Special Attack stat is to low for him to make use of Thunderbolt, it won't do much to Skarmory, and it definately won't do much to Suicune, Double-Edge is better for taking on Suicune.

Tauros as a Roarer sounds okay, I'm thinking Toxishuffler (Toxic/Roar/Sub/Protect or Earthquake).

Point would be to Toxic everything you can, then stall with Sub and Protect, or Sub and Quake, he wouldn't kill much, but ifhe can induce Toxic onto most of the opponents party, that would be great.

Blissey could come out and Aromatherapy, only to have something like McGar come out on it the turn it switches in, and FP it when it Aroma's.. :P
