Click to expand...

Umm...Lets see......
I have no idea ....

Choice Specs
Modest Nature (Maximise speed and spdef, Dump rest in Hp)

Seed Flare
Psychic
Hidden Power Fire
Grass Knot/Hyper Beam

I think a sweeper is the best your going to get, From what I see D/P shaymin is inferior in almost every way to celibie and it does not learn Earth power . It may on Platinum I do not know so this is all I can say about it sorry. But anyway Grass knot is a secondary grass attack, hyperbeam is listed but not reccomended due to recargeing. Its there because Shaymin is short on power.
 
Great. More people giving out Vileplume advice.

Vileplume@Black Sludge/Leftovers
Nature:Calm
Sleep Powder/Leech Seed
Stun Spore/Leech Seed
Stun Spore/Aromatherapy/Substitute
Sludge Bomb/Energy Ball
EV:244 HP, 148 Sp.Def, 118 Def

The supporter, status set, very useful. This is the set that I use in OU. With Stun Spore, Leech Seed, & Substitute, it could run the Subseed route.

Nick's set was pretty good, I might add, but it has a major lack in Plume expertise. I happen to be an expert on this subject.

EDIT: Wait, I take that back. Ttar makes Synthesis useless, and HP Rock isn't the most important move for him -he doesn't care about coverage if he isn't fully offensive.

Thanks for the advice. I see I am not the only Vileplume fan :)
 
Of course, using that set infects you with teh phail, so be careful. Skymi is the way to go, but I suppose this is wifi.
 
On the subject of land shaymin, is a tank set at all viable?

For Pidgeot Return >> Fly and Toxic or HP Ground >> Mud Slap @Leftovers.

Dragonite@Leftovers
- Surf / Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power Fighting / Dynamicpunch
- Wing Attack / Thunder Wave

Fire Blast can fit on here too if you want or Hidden power Ground for Raikou.

Dragonite@leftovers
- Rest / Ice Beam / Thunderbolt
- Haze
- Double-Edge / Body Slam
- Reflect / Light Screen

Works too.

Yeah, i forgot about the forever sandstorm pokemon (I made the movesets at like 2 am =P). I was looking for Leech Seed in Vileplume's movepool and I didn't see it. I guess its an emerald move tutor thing. Otherwise I would have said that over Synthesis.

Sim's moveset for Vileplume seems rather Taunt weak and it would suck to be setting up a sub when a taunting Gyarados/Crobat/etc comes in. Granted you can switch but it wastes a lot of setup. Thats why I was recommending HP-Rock, it covers several pokemon that will try to wall Vileplume aswell as cover his type disadvantages. Ttar does make HP-rock kind pointless but that is what STAB Energy Ball is for.

Vileplume @ Calm @ Chlorophyll @ Black Sludge

-Stun Spore
-Energy Ball
-HP-Rock/Leech Seed
-Aromatherapy

EVs: HP-134 Def-188 SpD-188

I think this moveset will suprise a lot of people who aren't expecting Vileplume to stay in when it seems walled. HP-Rock allows for better dexterity in combat, leaving it capable in the face of Taunt. Leech Seed has a pretty obvious reason behind it.
 
hey captain nick.can you give me a fast physical sweeper will my tauros set be good for the battle tower

You don't play Plume in OU much, huh?

On paper, that *may* make sense.


However, I've tried the two-move thing,it didn't work as well. The Subseed set is a standard for any able to get their mitts on a Leech Seed Oddish. It is meant really for switches. The status set, which I use, really disables teams. Crobat & Gya may have Taunt, but that doesn't save them from switching into the odd Sleep Powder/Leech Seed/Stun Spore. HP Rock may seem great, but in reality, it isn't. In the fast pace realm of OU, it can't afford to be so wishy washy, using HP Rock. Many things switch when they see Plume, promotig status.

And most importantly, even though it covers his weaknesses, don't forget to know the pokes themselves. The only OU fire type is Infernape (Moltres is too rarely seen to count), and he isn't Rock weak -he'll take more from Sludge Bomb. Every poke & their mother has an Ice attack, and hitting a poke wit HP ROCK won't hurt enough to scare them. Crobat can just eliminate before you take it out with HP ROCK, and Ice Fang will put an end to Plume.

If you're scared to use a poke because of Taunt, you're playing it wrong :P

Not that HP Rock doesn'tt have it's merits, but it only its most seen pokes for neutral.

You could go for Body Slam > Return for some hopeful paralyze hax, but Return is most preferred for more power.
Pursuit is also an option > Zen Headbutt if you want to catch those runaway ghosts.
Otherwise, I see no reason to run him over a Metagross.

I use the exact same set. :)
Oh and give him Choice Band.

But, why not crabhammer? Because of the low acuraccy?

Ahh , i mean to put Crabhammer as a option next to Waterfall. But yeah, you can use that if you want.

EDIT: Infact it doesn't even get Waterfall, so your stuck with Crabhammer anyway lol
