Well i know i shouldn't fuss but in case you missed it my original post::classic:

We'll are you planning to use this in-game or in competitive play?

Either case, Keep eruption and fire blast at the least. eruption when you're at full health, fire blast when you're low on health and around blaze territory.

as for the other two moveslots, you can try for Focus Punch/Blast and HP Rock to deal with chansey and other fire types

or for in game use, try out sunny day and solarbeam. not much you can do with typhlosion :T

I need help with my typhlosion so far it only has fire moves flame thrower + eruption + fire blast i also currently have smokescreen on it shoulf i replace smokescreen with take down or do you have a tm suggestion.

Typhlosion @ Choice Scarf / Choice Specs
252 SpAtk / 252 Spe / 4 HP
Timid / Modest Nature
-Fire Blast
-Eruption
-Focus Blast
-Hidden Power [Grass]

honestly its best set. tyhplosion kinda sucks :(
 
I'm working on finding a noctowl, and was wondering what hidden power would be best for him? I have a HP fighting noctowl, but I'm not sure what is best.

Hidden Power Water, Hidden Power Fighting

Compare to Chatot, using smogon.
 
hows this pinsir (dont give me a smogon one)
ability: hyper cutter
seismic toss
vital throw
x scissor
focus energy or swords dance

ALSO: are there any "noob" moves people will complain about online? i know people complain about evasian raising moves, what else, do they think moves like night shade are noob?

Just evasion and OHKO moves (Sheer Cold etc) are banned.

Anyways onto the set, dont be so stubborn to smogon sets, that is mistake #1. Remember, being original for the sake of being original makes you lose and with such a one dimensional pokemon like Pinsir going with the standard is better.

Mold Breaker as the ability - its biggest selling point is to beat its counters such as Weezing and Rotom by negating their ability.

Ether way Seismic Toss is pointless, set 100 damage on something with such high attack ? No, use Earthquake over it. Seismic Toss is better left to pokemon who cant attack well, e.g Blissey.

Stone Edge >> Vital throw so you don't get completely shut down by anything flying and has amazing coverage with Stone Edge and X-Scissor and use Swords Dance Focus Energy sucks. Vital Throw also sucks, it makes you go last and that is counter productive. :/

Dont use Noctowl offensively (i.e "it really doesn't need a hidden power"), its so overshadowed by things like Xatu, even Chatot when used like that.

Night Shade/Whirlwind/Roost/Reflect or Toxic with a tankish ev spread bias towards sp.def is the way to go.

thanks. but banned from what?
 
It means there banned from competitive play as they rely sheerly on luck.




Please could someone rate a pain split Mismagius that I have been testing in my UU team recently.

Mismagius (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 48 HP/252 Spd/208 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Shadow Ball
- Thunderbolt
- Pain Split

48 HP ev's give me a sub number and more bulk though I am also testing it with 252 in special attack instead as it carries a reasonable chance of revenge killing other Mismagius if I win the speed tie. I have found it goes well with Scarf Blaziken as he can eliminate dark types reasonably well whilst Mismagius is very good at grinding down Milotic.
 
ok. but the thing i hate about smogon movesets is that almost EVERYONE uses them.

Almost everyone uses smogon sets because smogon actually takes the time and effort to test and research each and every pokemon to get the best use out of the pokemon in the battle, however.

There are people who run different sets to smogon, so no one is forcing you to use those sets, your free to choose your own.

besides the point

Im in need of help with an ev set

Togekiss
Timid
Serene Grace

Nasty Plot
Baton Pass
Air Slash
Roost

should I go with full speed while dividing the rest into HP and Sp atk?
 
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

No need for max Speed, 236 will outspeed Adamant Lucario and that's all you need. Don't use any Sp. Atk EVs. BP Togekiss should only attack if it's been Tricked or Taunted.

252 HP / 20 SDef / 236 Spd

I just bred a Torkoal and was wondering what the best moveset for it was and how I should EV train it.

Pokemon: Torkoal
Nature: Relaxed
IVs: Flawless
Moveset: Pending
EVs: Pending

Id use...

Lava Plume
Stealth Rock
Rapid Spin
Explosion / Toxic / Yawn
252 HP/ 252 Def/ 6 Sp.Atk

I guess he makes a nice utility, but being weak to SR doesnt help. You can use Overheat over Lava Plume but Lava Plumes Burn rate is really nice. HP Grass is ok too for Bulky Waters like Quagsire/Gastrodon, but Toxic takes care of both of them and you already bred it flawless. =/
 
If i have a rhyhorn with lighning rod, will it have that ability as a rhyperior?
Yes, Rhyperior will have Lightningrod then. You need to have a Rhyhorn with Rock Head for a Rhyperior with Solid Rock.

Either use what Chains suggested or this:

Torkoal @ Leftovers
Ability: White Smoke
Nature: Relaxed
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Moveset:
~ Stealth Rock
~ Overheat
~ Will-o-Wisp / Toxic / Yawn
~ Explosion.
 
I'm having trouble deciding on the final move of my Froslass. Some advice would be appreciated.

Blizzeta

252 SpA/252 Spe/4 Hp

Timid

Spikes, Taunt, Hail, ???.

I'm torn between Ice Beam, Ice Shard and Blizzard. Any suggestions?

Use Spikes/Taunt/Shadow Ball/Destiny Bond

Hail is a bad move, so don't use that. Make sure its holding a focus sash so that you can use destiny bond and use it as a lead.
