- Stone Edge

and can togekiss get Triattack?
Yes, but its very rare...you have to get it from Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness. Some guy gives it to you to purify and after purification it learns in. So, its illegal with Nasty Plot (which sucks).

I wouldn't recommend you run that set, but if you so wish...

Timid, 4 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk

But they're really redundant.

They're called tiers. They rank pokemon based on: Base stats, typing, ability and movepool. OU is Overused, Ubers are pokemon proven to be too powerful for OU play, UU is Underused, and NU is Neverused ^_^

Don't forget BL pokemon, who are basically not one of the more common OUs at all, but too powerful for UU play.

You have to evolve Magneton in Mt. Coronet. For Tangela to evolve into Tangrowth, it must level up while knowing the move Ancientpower, which it learns at Level 33.

OK, random question: Does getting a critical hit bypass the enemy's defensive stat-ups?

Yeah, I was thinking that it needed more defensive power. What about SD?

Hold on...that isn't even max EVs.

It needs max speed and jolly nature if it wants to out run Azelf and Starmie after a single DD.

Tyranitar doesn't learn Swords Dance, only Dragon Dance.

WTF ??

DD Tyranitar is a sweeper, therefore needs no frikkin defense and max Speed and Att, use simple logic based on what its common switch ins are and what speed it needs to run to outspeed threats, by looking at previous posts nobody did that (apart from Lex Rextron), which is rather sad.


[email protected]
JOLLY NATURE
252 ATT / 252 SPEED / 6 HP
- Crunch / Stone Edge
- Taunt / Ice Beam
- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance



Hi i outspeed max speed Timid Gengar, Starmie, HP Fighting Azelf after a single Dragon Dance who owns me otherwise as Lex Rextron said. I need no def or HP evs as i have naturally high Hp and def and it wont help me one bit against my standard switch ins.

IT Basically NEEDS JOLLY, Adamant nature is lol on T-tar

Crunch and Earthquake provide excellent coverage.

Taunt so you can be phazed, statused, statted up on etc and most importantly make Skarmory set up fodder

Stone Edge can placed where Crunch is but you get walled by Claydol and Bronzong.

Ice Beam can also be placed where taunt is as it does more to things that want to wall it such as Hippowdon, Donphan, Gliscor and the like.

Adamant is the vote I'm giving away. Seriously, even if it doesn't outspeed, it has the Defenses to survive, 110 Def and 100 SDef, anyone?
