Request an Individual Move Set Thread

Timid nature, with max speed EVs. You could always go with Modest for more power at the cost of speed. Either way, you want the nature boosting his Speed or Sp Atk.

 

[DonRoyale]

With 110 base Special Attack and access to Nasty Plot, it's best used as an NP sweeper. The best natures to use for such a set are Timid (preferrably) or Modest.

Nasty Plot/Flamethrower/Dark Pulse/Filler (any special attack you prefer, really) is your best set for using this.

Hope I helped. :)

 

[MurdaRisk]

ya i was thinking timid also. And I sure do hope to EV train it, im still trying to figure it out

 

[DonRoyale]

40 HP/252 Special Attack/216 Speed is the way to go.

Easily accessible from the Lost Tower south of Solaceon. Gastly gives the Special Attack, Zubat gives the Speed.

For HP, just kill Bidoof. They're everywhere, lulz.

 

[MurdaRisk]

ok, will do thanks a lot.

 

[DonRoyale]

No problem. Happy to help.

Funny enough, I'm trying to work on guides for EV training, nature decisions, and other guides to help people who ask questions like this. So far, I have the natures guide down, but not sure where the best place to post it would be...

Plus, I'd rather do a video of it, as visuals usually help. :P

Visuals do help a lot. What you are working on is exactly what i need. Also what has been slightly an issue is a printable guide. I was able to copy a few charts and align them, but it would be awesome if someone made one printable.

I need a lead set for my metagross, I just need to find a good EV spread.

At first, it seems like a gimmick, and that's not really far from the truth (sadly) but it has some merit. Fake Tears is only really utilized by Glaceon and Jolteon, however, Vaporeon has a few points that differ herself from those two. Mainly, her gargantuan HP. A mere 12 HP EVs let her come to the magic number of 404; meaning Blissey cannot break her Substitutes. Max SpA and Modest is reccomended for a high rate of beating things like TTar, Blissey, etc...Mono-water may seem a little off-putting, but if you can eliminate your opponents water-absorbers, Vappy can cause a serious hurt.

Surf vs. Max HP/Max SpD Regirock (In SS) (-2): 75.82%-89.56%
Surf vs. 184 HP/0 SpD Tyranitar (In SS) (-2): 99.22%-116.80%
Surf vs. 0 HP/176 SpD Blissey (-6): 54.07%-63.75%

While Surf is more reliable, Hydro Pump has a noticable higher damage output:

Hydro Pump vs. Max HP/4 SpD Regice (-2): 56.87%-67.03%
Hydro Pump vs. 0 HP/176 SpD Blissey (-4): 36.10%-42.55%

Look, it has some merit, but besides the -2 calculations, it's not really viable, as they can just switch out. Add on the fact that Hydro Pump only has a 64% chance of hitting twice. If you really want to take out Blissey, just run Adamant, Max Atk and Giga Impact...XD Suicune does this so much better with CM. It also has 101 Subs and cannot be rendered useless with a switch. Unless there is a viable reason to use something that's inferior, it's not really worth using it. Sorry.

Hope I helped. :)

HP Fighting is the best for that Filler. It can be a pain for in-game, though. Otherwise run Will-o-wisp. It helps set up, but without HP Fighting you are walled by Heatran, etc.

hey again.i thought that this is a good set for gastrodon

sorry cant give anything but moves

earthpower

[TheMuffinMan]

Can I have a good set for Marowak please? And are there any good movesets with a Lax nature?

No.

Gastrodon @ Leftovers
Relaxed | Sticky Hold
[ 212 HP / 252 Def / 44 SAtk ]
~ Earthquake
~ Ice Beam
~ Toxic
~ Recover

Lax is a poor nature in general.

Marowak @ Thick Club
Adamant | Rock Head
[ 252 Atk / 6 Def / 252 Spd ]
~ Earthquake
~ Swords Dance
~ Stone Edge
~ Fire Punch

Fire Punch should be available from the Pt Tutors, IIRC. Pass this puppy some speed, it functions better.

Lax is horrid, use Archers set with the Item Thick Club >> leftovers. Double attack stat on marowak is what makes it viable.

Lol, it was 1am, I was bound to make a mistake somewhere, lol. Fixed. I C&P'd my Gastrodon set and changed everything, probably how I skipped the item.

208 HP / 76 Atk / 224 Sp.Def
Adamant Nature
- Meteor Mash
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake / Reflect / Explosion
- Bullet Punch / Reflect / Explosion


Awesome set imo. Evs let you survive a scarf tran fire blast and a Timid specs tran Overheat. Also this serves as a cool check to both Gengar and Deoxys.

Lum Berry i would advise on the item since most sleep inducing leads will poop on you otherwise.

Meteor Mash is NEEDED for STAB and it generally better than Ice Punch. Earhtquake is pretty much for hitting Heatran. Reflect provides some support, whilst Bullet Punch will allow you to get a leg up on suicide leads after negating their sash with Meteor Mash, priority is win regardless. However you can blow up stuffwith it, so the last 2 slots are pretty much up to you.

I agree with this and im kinda not digging sub, maybe you can use another sp.att so you have better coverage ? Idk...

No....just...no. Please dont give advice if you dont know what your doing, and based on that you clearly dont.

No.



Marowak @ Leftovers

Leftovers lolwut ? Thick Club >>Leftovers now !

Double Edge >> Swords Dance is useful too. But its up to you.

 

[TheMuffinMan]

Is their another move I can use besides Fire Punch?

 

[Dark Azelf]

Is their another move I can use besides Fire Punch?

Well..not really since its the only thing you can use to hit the ever common Bronzong.

 

[TheMuffinMan]

Yeah ...

So I have to get it from a FR/LG tutor?

 

[The Hero Without a Name]

Emerald; no FRLG tutor has the elemental punches.

 

[TheMuffinMan]
