Empoleon Novelty Sets

Empoleon @Lefties?
Adamant/Jolly if you're gonna invest EVs in speed
EVS; Honestly I have no idea. Sorry.
Swords Dance
Waterfall/Aqua Jet
Earthquake
Rock Slide/Drill Peck/Steel Wing/Shadow Claw/Brick Break/Avalanche<-- Avalanche is better, IMO

Whoa, talk about novelty. Empoleon's attack stat is rather mediocre, but I suppose it could pull this off. It certainly has the element of surprise though, lol. Pretty creative, though. =P
 
It's about the same as (lol) charizard's, which you might find shocking. People use physical Zard, I see no problem...though the agilityspecial sweeper set has been around for awhile.

To tell the truth... I don't know much about the D/P starter's Standards. I'll remove the special set.

It's agilipoleon. But of course, it's still a great set...there's a few others...maybe a choice specs one? I'm not so sure to be honest...
 
Probably...Who knows, it could be a skarmbliss killer for all we know...
 
Well, it has access to SD and a few strong physical atatcks, right? Why the heck not?

Whoops, I thought you meant the CS set >.<;

I'm pretty sure Brick break could work on it for specifically countering Blissey. But it's stupid to have a move on something just to counter one Pokemon. At least, not for one that has such pitiful P{hysical Defense (Even if it has ALOT of HP)
 
Actually, it the move is to counter blissey, it might be worth it. If it is a skarmbliss counter, then using BB just for bliss is fine. IMO

And OMG OMG OMG! 4000 POSTS!!!!!

Okay.

Hmmm... EQ could hit Skarm if you predict a Roost... that is, if people evn use Roost on it often. I admit, I don;t know all the standards... just the ones I use frequently.

It's actually quite effective.

Emploeon @ Leftovers
Nature: Adamant
EV: 252 Atk / 252 Spd/HP
- Waterfall
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Avalanche

It's not that it can't work, but it's rather uncommon.


Special Sweeper Emploeon

Emploeon @ Leftovers / Life Orb
Nature: Modest
EVs: 72 HP / 184 Spd / 252 SAtk
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Grass Knot
- Agility

This can do moderately well in the OU ernironment. Just make sure, no pokemon gets a stat boost. :3

O.o; ...Really?

It's just that one day I thought "Hmmm... It can't boost it's Sp.Att without help... but wait! It can get Swords Dance! And base 84 Attack isn't too bad. I think this can work out! I'll make a Swords-Dancing Empoleon set!"

And that's how most of my ideas come up. I review a Pokemon's movepool, base stats, and type effectivness before I start working my magic on it.

But the standards are still better >.>;
 
here is a set that I was goin gto try and use but never felt like it...

Emoleon@choice Specs.
Modest
Ev's: Ugh can't remember....
Grassknot
Surf/hydropump
Ice Beam
Flash Cannon

I mainly didn't try it cauz i couldn't find out a good ev spread... takes advantage of that 111 ( i think) base specail attack...

Like Spice Curry said, I've already posted a set like that.

Could Swords Dance Empoleon work better with a Ninjask on the team? You know, to pass Speed?
 
I always found it a bit odd Empoleon got Swords Dance when the attack should have gone to more viable candidates. Oh well; we're talking about the same people who think that making another useless electric type (Pachirisu) is progress ._.

The Ninjask + Empoleon thing could actually work...!

Good. I have an EVed Jolly one that would work well in conjunction with Emploeon.
