Legendary Dogs

[Da_Green_Teddy]

What would you guys reccomend for movesets for the legendary dogs in crystal, specically Entei? Sunnybeamer or Swagger/Psych Up/ Roar/ filler?

 

[Mana Lugia]

Suicune Standard:
Rest
Roar
Surf
Filler (Ice beam, Toxic, Psychup, Mirror coat, usually)

Raikou Standard:
Rest
Crunch
Thunderbolt
Reflect/Sleep talk

Entei: Not sure
But if you go with that set, you'd need a physical attack on the filler, like frustration (unfortunately the only good physical attack it learns ;_;)

 

[Da_Green_Teddy]

Maybe Return instead of frustration on there to make a good physical sweeper, but I sort of like the special sweeper better.

 

[Pokedragonfire]

Maybe:
Special Entei:
Flamethrower
Rest
Sunny Day
Err, Solar beam???
(don't yell at me, I know its the worst :P)
Also, on a physical one, maybe a headbutt/king's rock combo? Too bad he has no paralyzing moves X_x

 

[Da_Green_Teddy]

Hmm.., I don't know..
BTW, I just found out that Entei can learn Rain Dance, which is kind of Freaky O_o

 

[Mana Lugia]

The sunnybeam set is a decent alternative, I guess, it's a shame Entei doesnt learn a lot of good physical moves

 

[Da_Green_Teddy]

Well, its either
Entei@mintberry/lefties
-Sunny Day
-Solarbeam
-Fireblast
-Rest/return
or
Entei@lefties
-Swagger
-Psych up
-Fire Blast
-Return
The second fits his stats more, but i don't know. I'll see if Frosty notices this and see what he might be able to recommend.
Edit: You're right Iveechan, I changed it out for roar.

 

[Iveechan]

Entei should atleast have Fire Blast in the physical set. Its special attack is so-so, but with STAB and all that power, Fire Blast is decent.

too bad there's no overheat or else that's even a better option

Swagger and psych up is such a long lengthy setup that it's dangerous... one boosted physical attack can hurt Entei a lot. Plus if items heals off confusion... I don't like to risk swagger/psych up combo.
