Emerlad Battle Tower/Frontier again. I was looking through my boxes today and found this super-sexy Rhyhorn:
Adamant #111 Rhyhorn: 31 / 30 - 31 / 23 - 24 / 24 - 27 / 26 - 27 / 30 - 31
The speed is almost positively 31 though I'm not 100% sure (98%-ish lol). Either way, I definitely want to use this beauty but I'm not sure exactly what to do. Rhydon (not Rhyperior, for those who are clueless) is actually pretty useful as long as the opponent isn't Surfing at it, but I have my always-useful Regice for that. I don't know what to use though so I'm requesting a set and EV spread.
Right now I was thinking:
Rhydon @ Choice Band
Trait: Rock Head (yea, it has Rock Head <3)
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Megahorn
- Double-Edge
Earthquake is the obvious STAB attack here, and Rock Slide hits flyers and Gengar. Megahorn is really cool and hits those not poison type grassers (as rare as they are) hard and also takes out even bulkier psychic-types (especially those Lati@s in the later stages). Double-Edge is mostly filler, but it's power and it's there. My Hidden Power type is Steel so...=/
See, I don't know what to do though. I especially am having trouble with the EVs since Rhydon can't take special hits. I figured "why not go 252 Def" but weaker neutral attacks like a random Dragon Claw from Charizard...I don't want to take 80% from those either so eh. I also though of possibilities like Counter, 101 Subtitutes, Scary Face (-2 Speed for the opponent who never switches), and of course, Swords Dance. I don't know about SD though...Rhydon is pretty slow =/
Any help is appreciated unless you start talking to me about Rock Polish and how I should use Rhyperior in which case expect a -rep and a scolding =)
EDIT: Wow, digging through my PC has been more beneficial than I thought it would be...
Just found Umbreon which is already EVed (252HP/252Def/4 something else)
Careful #197 Umbreon: 31 / 15 - 17 / 26 - 28 / 25 - 27 / 29 - 31 / 12 - 14
The best part is that it has egg moves from Smeargle...it currently has BP/Curse/Wish/Quick Attack
Any advice on what to do with it would be appreciated =)
Well i was gonna say Yawn would be pretty good on umbreon, but no, you have gone for Quick Attack lol (uber!) . Id just shove Toxic on there or something. Speaking of which, passing curses to Lefties Rhydon would be pretty cool too or something....
Anyways, I like Sub Rhydon with SD/Sub/Earth/Slide in the BF but game freak seems to think that ONE sub tutor is good >_> So it all depends on if you used said tutor, so meh. Maybe some sp.def evs would be nice since don has naturally high hp so splitting the hp evs with sp.def may not be THAT much of bad idea, idk.
But yeah those look fine anyways.
Anyways i have hatched a decent Koffing (soon to be weezing) with ivs of 20> in everything. Im going to use it in the
battle frontier (3rd gen), so yeah.
Weezing@Leftovers
252 HP / 178 Atk / 68 SpA / 12 Sp.D
Brave Nature
- Sludge Bomb
- Fire Blast
- Haze / Toxic
- Explosion
Offensive weezing
!!!!
Mine has 0 speed ivs, so no point in speed to beat other weezing and because its not competitive (well it is, but still). I need help, most specifically on the third slot, im thinking Haze would be cool for double teamers and what not, but im unsure so some clarification would be nice ^__^.
In addition i have a Hariyama (not being able to get hold of a Machamp due to trades T___T), with the standard set of Fake Out/Cross Chop/Rock Slide/<heh>, LAST SLOT IS THE PROBLEM. It should be Hidden Power Ghost, but i cant get that, so what else is there to go in the slot, like Earthquake or Return or something ._.
lol halp ?
