Kabutops physical sweeper moveset

[plasmapistol]

Hey I was thinking Kabutops physical sweeper moveset would be something like this:

Kabutops Lv. 100 @?
Nature:?
Abilities: Battle Armor + Swift Swim
Moves:
Stone Edge
Aerial Ace
Waterfall (couldnt find any better phys water attack)
Night Slash/X-Scissor

Anyone got any good suggestions or changes to this movelist? Also I need to know the Nature Kabutops needs to gain 361 Max Attack stat. Thanks!

umm it's better to use him for his defensive ability, although, he can manage both. here's what i suggest:

Kabutops @ Leftovers/Enigma Berry
Impish Nature
204 HP/240 DEF/64 SPD
-Waterfall
-Stone Edge
-Brick Break
-Swords Dance

it needs to be able to take in hits to use swords dance so that it becomes a formidable physical attacker. otherwise, it doesn't have an ability that plays in its favor like Heracross does with Guts, which is why you have to depend on its defenses.

Adamant boosts Attack, while Jolly Boosts Speed.
Now there's 2 ways to using Kabutops.

Kabutops @ Expert Belt
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 172 HP / 252 Atk / 28 Def / 56 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Rain Dance
- Waterfall
- X-Scissor
- Stone Edge
Physical Swift Swimming can work if used properly.

And if that fails:

Kabutops @ Salac Berry
Ability: Battle Armor
EVs: 172 HP / 136 Atk / 200 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Waterfall
- Substitute / Endure
- Flail
There's always Kabutops with Flail.

I really like the idea with the speed kabutops but I don't think you would need substitute and endure.

Endure+Flail is a great combo.

 

[Akuchiki Byakuya]

Endure+Flail is a great combo.

What I am saying is he wouldn't need endure and substitute in one moveset.

 

[Angelic Diablo]

that's why its endure OR substitute

Read the post above me as it speaks the truth.

Sorry for misreading the message as I thought it said substitute/swords dance. no need for you guys to get so hectic over a misunderstanding.

I really don't remember getting hectic.
Anyway, I think I'd find the first moveset with Swift Swim more useful.
