Hm, I made my Charizard a SP.Att sweeper, and it already has 252 in SP.Att. Do 252 att, or what?

And still need Blastoise and Venasaur.

Fine. Use LOZard or SpecsZard. I am too tired to type them out...It's late.

Recently, I've been running a new Dragonite set. It's pretty killer, and it's something no other dragon can attempt.

Dragonite@Leftovers
Impish
248HP/192spd/36def/32sp.def

Substitute
Roost
Focus Punch
Dragon Claw

Sub-Roost Nite and pretty dang defensive. Fighting/Dragon gives unmatched coverage. The speed hits 244. Defenses are pretty even, each boasting 240+ with a great 385 HP.

Normally Substitute Dragonite uses Focus Punch/Dragon Claw/Sub/Fire move with a lot of attack and HP only. This set utilizes a decent bit of speed (you can drop down some in favor of more bulk), Dragonite's already great 304 attack with a neutral nature, and allows Dragonite to take a lot of hits.

Opinions?

Well, after destroying half of my team with that Nite, I would say its not that bad. Then again, I was using a monotype team against u...

Eh, too easily walled. Also, Focus Blast has bad acc. for a main attack.
If you are subbing, then you could always run a Subpunch set.

There are better pokes for this job. Infenape lacks the raw stats to pull off a specialised sweep, hence why he's always seen running mixed. You're putting too much investment into set-up, a PHazer will really kick you in the teeth. The set is also walled by bulky waters, with Cune taking little damage from Focus Blast (If it hits) and slowking, starmie, tenta and gyara laugh at you completely. It just doesnt have the coverage and is reliant on a lot of set up for and real potency. Use the mixed set, or at very least a choice variant.

Erm, why did you post that set? Is it to be rated or just a random reply to the current discussion?

 

[UUUser]

+4 Fire Blast to Gyara (no Spd/236 Spd)
257 ~ 297 (2HKO)

+4 Fire Blast to Starmie (no Spd/206 Spd)
289 ~ 339 (OHKO)

+3 Focus Blast to Suicune (no Spd/266 Spd)
373 ~ 479 (OHKO)

+3 Focus Blast to Suicune (no Spd, +1 Spd/399 Spd)
250~294 (2HKO)

deals huge amount of damage but lack of accuracy and pp oTL

All of those imply you will get either 2NPs or an NP and Petaya boost in without getting PHazed or OHKO'd. KO'ing Nape is easy at the best of times, reducing your HP by chunks of 25% is gonna make you weak to things as trivial as rapid spin. If you need to set up this much while undergoing a barrage of attacks from their Ape counters, you're gonna have serious problems.

UUU wanted his set rated, not additional sets given. Posting an incomplete set (You forgot EVs, item and nature) is not helping anybody.

The set you posted is very similar to standard CBApe, but with some pointless alternatives offered. Mach Punch is too weak and Ape is fast already, and brick break has almost 0 advantage over CC. Shadow Claw offers almost nothing over U-Turn, which is far more beneficial.

 

[UUUser]

+4 is from Blaze, Petaya and Nasty Plot
Stealth Rock lets the Ape set-up faster.

edit : I forgot that common sandstorm could kill subpinch-er >_>

It also makes infernape more easily KO'd, and this infernape cannot recieve its full boost until it has essential killed itself, which it won't have a chance to do since almost every UU with surf will 2HKO infernape at full health. Lowering your own health is like a present for them.

Right, I'm requesting help on two Rhyperior sets.

First is on the Adamant shiny Rhydon that I caught. What EVs and moves should I give it?

Secondly, I want to EV Train a Rhyperior from level 1 (obviously a Rhyhorn at that point). However, I'm not sure whether to give it a defensive or offensive set (or a bit of both), which nature to breed for and what moves to give it.

Much appreciated.

Give us the damn EVs, natures and items!!!1111!!!!

Seriously, I alone have told you once already today. We cannot improve your sets properly without all the information.

First off, medicham can never be a special sweeper. Without Specs it's too weak and without Scarf it's too slow. Huge power is the only thing keeping it out of NU.

Drain Punch and Force Palm are far too weak, and reversal just sucks- Brick Break or High Jump Kick please. Shadow Ball is a special attack, and as such should not be used. Ice punch in it's place.
