um..i have a slight stratergy..not really solid
salamance @focus sash
adamant
252spd/252att/6hp
dd
dragon claw
fire blast
EQ

after 1 dd outruns most and sweeps entire teams

scizor @leftys
252att/252spd/6hp
sd
x-scissor
iron head
roost

so many resistances not hard to setup

i got to 70 wins with this team and lost
i was using differnet fillers at the time
now i wanted one solid special sweeper
im thinking
houndoom@life orb
will o wisp
flamethrower
dark pulse
np

will it work?

What natures do Houndoom and Scizor have? (Any EVs on Houndoom? o.o)

One Pocket Monster with Thunder Wave (or any crippling status, really) puts your entire team out of commission. Houndoom can buffer Will-o-wisp, but it'll never enjoy sleep or par.

A lot of threats stand out to me.

[ 466 Lapras Adamant Lum Berry Dragon Dance Body Slam Waterfall Confuse Ray HP/Atk ]

• Confuse / possible par. Will set up in Salamence's face, DG or EQ won't do a whole lot thanks to Lapras' monster Hit Points. Once fast enough, Waterfall will have even more fun.

[ 522 Electrode Timid Shuca Berry Magnet Rise Charge Beam Hyper Beam Thunder Wave Sp. Atk/Speed ]

• Say hello to your team's worst Nightmare, status.

[ 589 Jolteon Naughty Razor Claw Thunder Wave Thunderbolt Iron Tail Flash Atk/Sp. Atk/Speed ]

• It'll wave any of them. You have Salamence to hit with Earthquake, but once your Dragon is paralyzed, your sweep is pretty much done for.

[ 739 Crobat Timid Lum Berry Hypnosis Roost Sludge Bomb Dark Pulse HP/Speed]

• Hypnosis that outruns every member and Dark Pulse chews away with more flinching. D:

[ 880 Gyarados Adamant Chesto Berry Waterfall Earthquake Rest Dragon Dance Atk/Speed]

[ 893 Garchomp Jolly Focus Sash Earthquake Dragon Claw Fire Fang Crunch Atk/Speed]

• Do I even have to say why here?

[ 908 Regigigas Careful Lum Berry Substitute Double Team Thunder Wave Return HP/Atk/Def ]

• That'll really hurt if it sets up.

Oh, and Double Team Discharge Zapdos also runs through your team. :x I'm kinda surprised you even made it that far. Actually, double teamers like Rotom would toy around with you. (Thunder Waving you in the process)

And Palmer even looks to be quite a tough pill to swallow.

#21,
Milotic will hypnosis Mence then Ice Beam, or anyone then Hydro Pump.
Rhyperior laughs at every party member. Even if you have Earthquake, it'll Ice Beam. Scizor lives in fear of Flamethrower, even if you have Houndoom to absorb it, how do you stop it? Because Rhyperior resists it regardless, then Houndoom'll be afraid of Rock Wrecker. I guess you could let Houndoom die for Salamence to set up on the rest turn, but even then, its gotta walk through two very bulky Ice Beam Pocket Monsters.

#49,
Regigigas has Ice Punch for Mence, Brick Break for Houndoom; and Palmer has Heatran to bark Scizor up a tree. Cress just sets up Calm Minds, moonlights off any damage.

tl;dr
To me, I just don't see how you win in Tier 4 effectively. (Battles 49+)

Yeah, but once your twaved, you're in a lot more trouble. Majority of them will set up, or Confuse you. We all know how much hax Battle Tower has, so it'll be more troublesome, just saying.

Oh, I didn't know you had Ttar when you faced him. I thought Houndoom has been there, I'll read better next time. XP

I'm not sure if Houndoom is the best option, but if you're willing to face a number a threats & status, go for it. I mean, you've got 100 so far, have some fun with different ones if you like then.

 

[xPikaWhox]

Ninetales...

Energy Ball's good for Ninetales..but i like Dark Pulse for Dusknoir or something..

Wait... Why is your Houndoom Jolly? That nature's only going to hinder him, as it reduces his SPATK.

 

[dark_seeker]

sorry

o meant timid(and im asking wether it works i still need to breed one and train it or do i have other options?)

 

[Pysncrono]

Does anyone know of a good Bulk Up passer in UU?

 

[Sora_8920]

Does anyone know of a good Bulk Up passer in UU?

Drifblim is a pretty good BP'er for UU.

Drifblim @ Petaya Berry / Liechi Berry
Trait: Unburden
EVs: 12 HP / 80 Def / 216 SpA / 200 Spe
Timid (+Spe, -Atk)

~Baton Pass
​

~Substitute
~Thunderbolt/Shadow Ball
~Hypnosis

 

[Pysncrono]

Umm.. Bulk Up passer, not any passer >>

 

[Sora_8920]

Umm.. Bulk Up passer, not any passer >>

Oh right lol. Was thinking of Baton Pass atm. Sorry.

____________________________________________________

Well..there aren't any Pokémon who can use Bulk Up and Baton Pass in UU, actually. Just Bulk Up.

 

[Pysncrono]

Oh. Guess I'll have to stick to Scyther and Gorebyss then :P

Anyways after asking in the QnA thread, this is a little moveset I made for Dragonite:

SubBulkyNite
@ Leftovers
Adamant - Inner Focus
252 HP, 60 SpD, 196 Spe

- Roost
- Dragon Dance
- Dragon Claw
- Substitute

The idea is to Sub on the switch, then DD up. Roost when you get the chance. Dragon Claw for STAB and hitting every type for nuetral except steel. It would work best with a Magnezone.

Here are some calcs:

Vaporeon 56 SpA Ice Beam vs SubBulkyNite 75.6 - 90.1%
Vaporeon 56 SpA Ice Beam vs Roosting SubBulkyNite 37.8 - 45.1%

Timid Heatran Fire Blast vs SubBulkyNite 24.1 - 28.2%
Timid Heatran HP Ice vs SubBulkyNite 75.6 - 89.1%
Timid Heatran HP Ice vs Roosting SubBulkyNite 37.8 - 44.6%

Life Orb Gyarados Waterfall vs SubBulkyNite 24.3 - 28.7%
Life Orb Gyarados Stone Edge vs SubBulkyNite 81.8% - 96.9%
Life Orb Gyarados Stone Edge vs Roosting SubBulkyNite 40.9 - 48.4%

AS you can see, most Ice attacks do less than 50% while roosting, and you should outspeed most pokes anyways after 2 DD's

I have tested this, and it worked great, but I lost due to my crappy team at that time >.<

 

[INTERPOL]

does anyone have a good blastoise moveset with surf and icebeam?(leaf green)
or a pidgoet moveset.i think i want pidgeot to have featherdance and wing attack.

 

[Detox]

I was thinkng of traing a Rampardos to meet these standards.

Rampardos @ choice scarf
jolly
mold breaker
252 atk 252 spe 6 hp

Zen Headbutt
Head Smash/ Stone Edge
Earthquake
??????????

need help on deciding what the last move should be

 

[ABYAY]

Rampy@Choice Scarf
Adamant/Jolly (Adamant for pure power, Jolly to outpace Gengar)
252atk/252speed/6sp.def

Stone Edge
EQ
Crunch/Pursuit/Head Smash
Pursuit/Head Smash

Zen Headbutt doesn't really offer coverage. Anyway, this set is your best bet for it unless you have a ton of para support. Stone Edge and EQ are your obvious moves. The third slot should probably use Crunch to smack Dusknoir and Cressy around. The 4th slot is just down to whatever you didn't use in the 3rd slot. Pursuit will hit a fleeing Gengar (which you outpace with Jolly. However, note that you only do about 60-75% unless it switches, but Crunch kills if you think it stays in) Head Smash is your general suicide move, stripping off a whopping 49-57% from Suicune. (2HKO with SR)

 

[Pysncrono]

^
If you want to use Ramp anyways, do so with either Trick Room or BP support. Also, its advised against as its weak to three priority moves, two out of which are common(Vacuum Wave & Mach Punch). But it is very viable, nonetheless

 

[Zetta-Chan]

I use Rampy all the time, but with a choice-scarf. he's useless without it. And I HATE the Rock Polish set, ewww. Anyways, for Rogue-Styrke.

Blastoise @ Leftovers
Bold Nature / Torrent
252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SpA
- Rest
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Toxic

 

[Detox]

Wailord @ Damp rock
Modest
Oblivious
252 Sp. Atk./ 200 Spe/ 52 Hp

Water Spout/Surf
Hidden power(ground)
Ice Beam/Blizzard
Rain Dance

Hows this for a Wailord on a rain dance team?

 

[Keyaki]

Need a good Psychic Pokemon to complete team for Platinum

Now have

Infernape
Floatzel
Carnivine
Staraptor
and Lucario

Just need a good Psychic type Pokemon

 

[Pysncrono]

Rotom formes, Dusknoir and Spiritomb are good choices.

 

[Zetta-Chan]

So I was thinking of a Dual-Screen Alakazam, similar to Deoxys-S, for my OU team. What do you guys think of this set? This is a leading set.

Alakazam @ Light Clay
Timid Nature / Inner Focus
252 Spe / 252 HP / 6 SpA
- Light Screen
- Reflect
- Taunt
- Psychic
