Request an Individual Move Set Thread

[Necromancy]

Lol, forgot to add those in. Reversal can also be used if you want to, especially since Life Orb recoil will help bring your HP down. If you replace Aerial Ace but keep X-Scissor, you'll want to use Swarm instead of Technician because none of your moves would get the boost from it. Not to mention Life Orb would take your HP down enough to activate Swarm and power up X-Scissor.

Btw, I'd still like some feedback on this set.

Raichu @ Leftovers (looking for a better item choice - suggestions?)
Timid nature
4 HP / 252 SpAtk / 252 Spd
- Fake Out / Hidden Power: Ice
- Encore
- Thunderbolt
- Thunderwave / Hidden Power: Ice

What a funny looking set. This is like a UU anti-lead. Basically, you Fake Out to kill their Focus Sash first. If you're slower, you can try and (hopefully) Encore their set-up, whether it's Stealth Rock, Substitute, or whatever. If you're faster, just Thunderwave them and Encore their move on the next turn if it's worth Encoring. Thunderbolt is just an STAB move, although Hidden Power: Ice proves effective with all the Grass and Ground types running around UU. I personally haven't seen many Focus Sash leads in UU myself, so you can keep Thunderwave and still use Hidden Power by removing Fake Out.

Encore is great at forcing switches and is useful on something as quick as Raichu. By forcing them to switch, you can help to spread Paralysis to their entire team, which provides great support and can allow for a clean sweep.

Also, are there any suggestions for the item choice? :3

You should just post an RMT since this is a full team >.>....

Garchomp is Uber and can't be used in standard OU play.

Just make your own thread =P

i have a lv 59 relaxed dragonite, can anyone give me a good moveset for it? Right now it just has wing attack/aqua tail/thunder punch/dragon rush.

First of all, Relaxed is not a very good nature for offensive Dragonite. At least try this set

Dragonite @ Life Orb/Yache Berry
Jolly
252 Att / 252 Speed / 4 HP
Dragon Dance
Outrage
Fire Punch/Fire Blast
Earthquake

If you're still beating the game, a set like this will rip through everything regardless of nature (Sine the game is so freakin easy to beat XD)

Look, if you are intent on using a Relaxed one, then you could run ABYAYs bulky SubRoostNite. I forget the EVs, but it ran Substite/Roost/Dragon Claw/Flamethrower, IIRC.
