help with Kingdra

[Deaths Jaws]

ok im currently trying to make a good Kingdra moveset for my team and have come up with this:

Kingdra w/ leftovers
- Ice Beam
- Surf
- Rest
- Sleep Talk


im just wondering if this set up is any good in net battle at all? if its not what can i change to make it better?

BTW: THIS IS FOR GSC!!!

ok for the selection i picked Ice beam to get rid of grass and dragons (one of Kingdras weaknesses). Surf is for pokemon weak to water (he gets partial STAB for it (25% increase IIRC). Rest is there for HP recovery and sleep talk is to make him a pain in the but to put down (he can still hit rest and get all his health back if im lucky or just unleash a powerful Ice Beam and hopefully freeze his opponent)

i have a Baton Passer i could also use for him giving him agility and amnisia...or maybe agility and substitute? or should he be a more of a 'stand alone' pokemon than a BP one (recieving stat boosts from a BP chain)

thanks in advance and please done just say...look at battledex as its WAY out of date.

thanks in advance

Most of the battledex is still relevant nowadays, so don't discount it completely before reading it - might teach an old dog new tricks, as they say.

Anyway, Kingdra's only weakness is Dragon, which makes Kingdra into a semi-tank. As for GSC, my knowledge isn't too great. But I'll at least attempt to help

Kingdra@Minty Berry
Surf
Ice Beam
HP Electric/Grass
Rest

Give him something to sweep other Water types, and you're onto a winner.

Hmm its nice for a g/s/c kingdra since rest+sleep talk is somewhat totally abused i think :p

There's one major flaw in Kingdra in the GSC days: It's not great at anything.
A look at its stats screams average in all directions, and it's not likely going to be able to just special sweep for you, since it will usually meet Mr. Lax or Ms. Bliss. Rest+talk for Kingdra would quite often be reduced to with Dragonbreath to try to PAR the entire team, and then send in another poke to sweep instead. However, if you do get bored, you could always try a Cursing Kingdra, prolly won't work every time, but it could be amusing :)

Anyways, yeah, DB over Ice beam or something, PAR beats the importance of non-stab Ice Beam anyways.

On an FYI: You do realize HP Electric would lower your HP and stuff by a lot more than it does in RS, eh? And that No one sends waters against Kingdra anyways, Bliss/Lax is usually present on every team, not both, but at least 1.

See, this is what I meant about not knowing GSC's metagame.
