Mixed Salamence

[Vainz]

I want a Salamence that is mainly for Sp.Sweeping, but i would also like him to be able to learn EQ. What should his moveset be?

Here is the only Mixed Salamence that I know of:

Salamence @ Life Orb
Intimidate / Adamant
EVs: 252 ATK / 136 SPD / 120 HP
- Brick Break
- Dragon Claw
- Fire Blast
- Earthquake

Here is the only Mixed Salamence that I know of:

Salamence @ Life Orb
Intimidate / Adamant
EVs: 252 ATK / 136 SPD / 120 HP
- Brick Break
- Dragon Claw
- Fire Blast
- Earthquake

Yeah, thats a good moveset for not being walled by mean Skarmory

Salamence @ Life Orb
Nature: Lonely(+Atk, -Def)
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 76 Atk, 252 Spd, 180 Sp. Atk
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Brick Break
- Earthquake/Dragon Dance

Brick Break hits a Blissey who will switch in on a Draco Meteor, Fire Blast for Skarm mainly. Can go Dragon Dance to fake your opponent into thinking you're physical, then when they switch to skarm Fire Blast kills them.

Ok, thanks, i think i will go with Towlie's moveset.

To be honest, many other Pokemon can sweep well without having to consider Skarmory. If you want a good Skarmory counter that sweeps well in general, I suggest you choose Electivire.

Salamence @ Choice Band
Trait: Intimidate
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
-Aerial Ace / Dragon Claw
-Brick Break
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge

Salamence @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
EVs: 196 HP / 252 Atk / 60 Spd
-Aerial Ace / Dragon Claw
-Dragon Dance
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge

Those are the two best Salamences. Elemence as well as Mixedmence are inferior to these ones.

Lol. No one uses Stone Edge on Salamence nor a CBmence. No one even runs leftovers on a salamence lol. Maybe in 3rd Generation, not here. Fire Blast is almost always on a normal DDmence.

I'm curious to why you think Elemence is so bad. Is it because Elemence was terrible in 3rd generation? I'd say that's why since most of your sets are carried over from 3rd generation. of play.
