    Ok, I got an Arbok, but I really need to 'fix it up' and make it a strongerfighter, what should I teach it? How is it?

    Arbok-62
    Rash
    Strength
    Giga Drain
    Haze
    Glare

    It's a mix of Haze and Annoyer. An annoyer cuz I paralize my opponent and drain their life. So? What should I do?
     
    Won't work at all... Arbok needs luck to do anything right >>; And it certainly cannot special attack at all.

    Arbok- [atk or speed + / sp.atk -] @ quick claw
    EV: attack and speed?
    -glare
    -rock slide
    -sludge bomb
    -earthquake

    Very difficult Pokemon to use... when it accels at nothing but attack which is only above average. Only average speed isn't helping either. Can't haze even though it has haze, because it can't withstand a single attack.
     
    I would put the rest of the EVs into hp
    what else ^^

    wanna try choice band?

    Arbok[jolly]@choice band
    EVs - Sp, Def, Att
    rock slide
    earthquake
    HP ghost/glare
    sludge bomb

    Fun stuff
    fun stuff......................
     
    I'd prefer an annoyer set for Arbok personally:

    Arbok@Lum Berry (Shed Skin)
    EV: 252 Att, 252 Speed, 6 Def
    Nature: + Speed, - Sp Att
    Glare
    Attract/Swagger
    Screech/Swagger
    Sludge Bomb/Earthquake/HP Physical

    Either way, you're reliant on so much luck.
     
    sweetie, yo have no time for screech b/c by the time u use it they will either switch out or attack u... and 1 hit will most likely kill arbok. use toxic, protect/endure, sludge bomb, glare/attract (glare depends if u r gonna use toxic or not, and either way, swagger will help them in the long term, so use attract altho they may be same gender), have nature +attck -sp attck, item either choice band or bright powder/quick claw.
    chocie band for sludge bomb!

    choice band? then you end up using 5 times toxic in a row because of the choice band :/ doesnt work.
