Moveset Help & Other Questions

[peterd1994]

Not good enough. Druddigon needs a Fire move to get past Steels. Unfortunately, the below sets need move tutors from B2/W2. Note that (near-)maximum HP investment is more efficient than splitting them in both defenses. The 20 Speed EVs let Druddigon outspeed 0 Speed base 50s:
-Outrage/Dragon Claw
-Sucker Punch/Dragon Claw
-Fire Punch
-Gunk Shot
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 236 HP/252 Atk/20 Spe
Item: Life Orb/Choice Band/Assault Vest
Ability: Sheer Force

or
-Stealth Rock
-Dragon Claw
-Sucker Punch
-Fire Punch
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 236 HP/252 Atk/20 Spe
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Rough Skin

or
-Glare
-Dragon Tail/Dragon Claw
-Rest/Stealth Rock
-Sleep Talk/Fire Punch
Nature: Careful
EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SDef
Item: Leftovers/Rocky Helmet
Ability: Rough Skin

Do I need BW2 and BK2 or do I go move tutors in Y to learn them moves and what's its + and - stat

 

[Nah]

Do I need BW2 and BK2 or do I go move tutors in Y to learn them moves and what's its + and - stat

X and Y lack the move tutors that Black2/White2 have, so you'd need those games to get a Druddigon with Gunk Shot, Fire Punch, and/or Stealth Rock. Sucker Punch has to be chain bred onto Druddigon as well.

Adamant is +Attack, -Special Attack.

I don't have BW2 or BK2 is there any other way

 

[Nah]

Unfortunately, there is no other way to get those moves on a Druddigon. Best we can do is hope that ORAS has those move tutors again.

The move tutors are in Black 2/White 2. Here's a nature list for reference: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Nature

Hey, I have an Adamant Kingdra without outrage. What sets are good for it besides the normal rest/dragon dance/waterfall/outrage adamant set?

I'm afraid that Outrage is mandatory on physical Kingdra because it's a strong secondary STAB. Besides Rest, you have Substitute to protect against status, Draco Meteor or Hydro Pump to dent physical walls or Iron Head to hit Fairies.

Catcher Pokemon?

Hey! I was just wondering if someone could give me a good pokemon and moveset that would be good for catching pokemon of any level! Thanks in advanced!

 

[Mudinjakarp]

I'm not using outrage because I already trained my kingdra without knowing I had to breed to get that move. Any way I can avoid having to train another kingdra?

 

[Kenchiin]

Are you looking for a trade or just advice?

If this is the second scenario I would say a Smeargle with the following:

• Spore / Sleep Powder / Stun Spore (whatever you prefer)
• False Swipe
• Mean Look
• Soak (this can be changed for one of the attacks on bullet 1)

I think each attack is self-explanatory but any question let me know.

There's no other way, I'm afraid. You could go the special route, but this will need a different Kingdra entirely.

Or you can wait for the Outrage move tutor to come back in OR/AS. (assuming move tutors do come back)

Do Pokemon Tournaments Follow Smogon Rules?

Do tournaments follow the smogon tiers?
For example, can i use mewtwo in a tournament?
(I know all the rest, I'm just curious about this... Cuz i wanna be the very best ;) xD )

 

[Nah]

Depends on who's hosting the tournament. If you're talking about an official, in-person tourney with 3DS's and game cartridges, then no, Smogon rules and tiers are not followed. Tournaments sponsored by TPC use VGC rules.

If the tournament is on a battle simulator like Pokemon Showdown and/or is hosted by Smogon, then yes, Smogon rules apply.

If it's a tournament not run by either Smogon or TPC, then the rules used are determined by the hosts. They may be Smogon rules, they may be VGC rules, they could be a set rules they made up themselves.

Questions!

Yo.

So the questions I would like to ask are:

Is there any way you can build Pokemon (like team building in Showdown) and send it over to your game on your handheld console?

I'm gonna be getting back into the flow of Pokemon in a month or so, and I just want to quickly build Pokemon. I don't want to have to worry about training each one individually.

Is there some sort of special site where I can do that?



~Thanks a lot.

You can't import Pokemon from Showdown! straight to the X/Y cartridges. I'm afraid you have to catch/breed Pokemon yourself if you intend to play cartridge.

Yup, that's entirely possible. All of those moves are TMs in X/Y, though getting the right HP type is a pain in the ass.

Just breed and hope you get lucky. A Psychic in Anistar will check your Pokemon's Hidden Power type for you.
