Yes, let's discuss Tauros. (As requested by Anti)

 

[Anti]

Oh yay! Well, I'm looking more at ADV, vut seeing as I just downloaded Shoddy (don't ask), either gen is cool.

Tauros (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Sleep Talk
- Hidden Power [Rock]
- Double-Edge

Is what I've got. Suggestions? Oh, that set was for ADV BTW.

 

[Angelic Diablo]

Return over Double Edge is what I'd prefer, and for 4th Gen (even though you ain't really into it) Zen Headbutt gives him a better chance against some fighters like Heracross, although the Scarfcross will still be a problem.

Pursuit also gives him an option for attacking Gengar/Dusknoir/Spiritomb.

Tauros@Choice Band
Intimidate
Jolly Nature
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 HP
-Return/Double Edge/Body Slam
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge/Rock Slide/Hidden Power Rock*
-Zen Headbutt/Pursuit/Sleep Talk*

* for 3rd Gen options

 

[luke]

Ok, Tauros is done. Let's move on to DEWGONG!

 

[Angelic Diablo]

Dewgong@Leftovers **HAXHAPPY**
Calm/Bold Nature
EVs: 252 HP, 152 Def, 106 Sp Def (w/ Bold) 252 HP, 152 Sp Def, 106 Def (w/ Calm)
-Rest
-Sleep Talk
-Horn Drill
-Sheer Cold

OHKO's all round, used to annoy my friends with this on Emerald, although thanks to OHKO clause it's no longer viable

Umm...

Dewgong@Leftovers/Damp Rock
Hydration
Calm/Bold Nature
EVs: 252 HP, 152 Def, 106 Sp Atk
-Rain Dance
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Hidden Power Electric/Grass

 

[Anti]

Er, I think Dewgong can make decent use of encore...I think? lol

 

[Azonic]

Why don't we abuse Rest and attack Rain Dance to it? Rest + Rain Dance + Hydration = Free Full HP Restore EVERY turn + Surf Power Boost

 

[Anti]

Mayeb it could mock boltbeam with HP eletric and ice beam?

 

[Shiraishi]

Why don't we abuse Rest and attack Rain Dance to it? Rest + Rain Dance + Hydration = Free Full HP Restore EVERY turn + Surf Power Boost

I think this works. Dewgong is quite bulky for UU, so it's gonna be a beast x.x

 

[Sora_8920]

So.. This is just like Smogon now? DP Analysis's? O__o

Dewgong (M) @ Damp Rock / Leftovers ** Giant Seel
Trait: Hydration
EV's: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 Def
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Rain Dance
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Rest.

 

[Azonic]

Erm... Okay Mullac51 where did all that come from? O.o

Itachi's set is probably what I'm talking about.

 

[Sora_8920]

Oh, yes, for the record, Dewgong is BL.

 

[luke]

Mullac, that wasn't necessary. This is for individual analysis. Okay, I feel we have established a sound Dewgong set, so now time to do another request:

MOTHIM!

 

[Sora_8920]

Well, one guy asked for Sharpedo, we'll do that next.

Mothim @ Choice Specs / Scarf ** I own you
Trait: Swarm
EV's: 6 HP / 252 Spd / 252 SAtk
Timid Nature (+Spd,-Atk)
- Bug Buzz
- Air Slash
- Energy Ball / U-Turn
- Shadow Ball. :P

 

[Shiraishi]

Maybe stick a an HP in there for more coverage ._. Water, maybe?X_x

 

[Sora_8920]

Maybe stick a an HP in there for more coverage ._. Water, maybe?X_x

Hmm. Yeah, since all HP's are Special this Gen, it's an option. As well as HP [Ground]

 

[luke]

Okay, let's not just repost Smogon sets each time. Think of unique strategies if you can. Next, we'll do:

Sharpedo!

 

[Eos Aduro]

Hmmm Mothim? It has a cool shiny...

Shadow Ball in for HP Ground, to cover Electric and Fire weakness, and Energy Ball overU-Tirn to cover rock. DANG Loquacvity was faster. Ok Shapedo, ask Azonic...

 

[sims796]

HP Rock? What gen is this?

 

[Sora_8920]

Hm.. Ok..

Sharpedo (M) @ Focus Sash ** Azonic

Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
