Nidoking - Rivalry or Poison Point?
Hi,
I want to have a Nidoking as a Toxic Spikes lead on my team. Now I'm going to go with a Timid nature to boost the STAB Earth Power.
Up to this point Smogon follows the same logic.
However, then smogon recommends the ability Poison Point with the moveset:
Toxic spikes
Earth Power
Ice Beam
Stealth Rock
Surely this ability will then have no effect? And you've already got toxic spikes on so WTF?
So I was thinking of running Rivalry in the hope that most of the opposing pokemon will be male...
What do you think?
