Quilava / Typhlosion cannot learn Explosion. Focus Punch so you're not walled by Snorlax / Blissey / Heatran.

sorry I meant eruption. And since it hits two opponents, it would be handy in two on two battles right? and any advice for a hold item?

 

[ABYAY]

Here's your standard fare Typhlosion

Scarf lead
Typh@Choice Scarf
Mild or Rash
144atk/252sp.atk/112 speed

Eruption
Focus Punch
Overheat/Will-o-Wisp
HP Ice/Earthquake

Typhlosion is a great starter with a massive 150 BP Eruption at hand, and it will always start at full power thanks to it leading and SR isn't out yet. Focus Punch with the atk EVs 2HKOs Blissey easily. Overheat takes place for the main STAB when Eruption gets weak, but Will-O-Wisp is always fun to toy with. HP Ice is strongly perferred over Earthquake, but it does destroy Flash Fire Pokemon like Heatran and Houndoom easily.

Tyranitar @ lum berry
Adamant; 252 Atk, 160 Spd, 92 Def, 6 HP
Sandstorm stream
~ Dragon Dance

~ Stone Edge/Rock Slide

how would this guy work in the tower.i know people would go 252att/252speed/6hp but supposing i would use this spread.would it work??
slightly bulky.

Magnezone @ Life Orb
Modest/Magnet pull
252 sp. atk/252 def/ 6 hp
-Thunderbolt/Discharge
-Hidden Power Fire
-Flash Cannon
-Explosion

Could this work on a trick room set?

 

[Keyaki]

Because thats what choice band does. It limits you to one move and increases the power of that move by 1.5 (50%), you can switch moves when you switch out.

It randomly chooses the move?

Standard means like...a certain generic set.

E.g;

Gengar@Choice Scarf
Levitate
4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest/Timid
Shadow Ball
Focus Blast
Trick
HP Ice / Thunderbolt.

^ That's pretty much what a standard set for Gengar is.

So like on the regular/common ground?

No, it doesn't, YOU are the person with the power to choose the move.

If you really want to use it in that kind of team, use Quiet, to be even faster while Trick Room is still activated.

 

[The Hero Without a Name]

I know he's rare nowadays, but wouldn't Skarmory be a great switch-in to Scizor?

 

[Dark Azelf]

Yep its a pretty decent check/counter to it.


However, watch out for the occasional LO SD Super Power

66.17% - 77.54%

252 hp / 200 def skarmory takes that from adamant +2 LO Super Power

Just stay at high health and sure.

No, it doesn't, YOU are the person with the power to choose the move.

[Skip Shot]

Well I was thinking of my birthday tmrw a nice anti-lead for a UU team. What pokesin UU get SR, Taunt, and Explosion?

 

[dark_seeker]

does anyone know a pokemon who can use sub and setup sword dance apart form garchomp.

 

[ABYAY]

Heracross and Lucario are two big ones in that line. Get a Sub, Swords Dance, and then try to Sub down to a Salac Berry, and proceed to sweep.

 

[Angelic Diablo]

Well I was thinking of my birthday tmrw a nice anti-lead for a UU team. What pokesin UU get SR, Taunt, and Explosion?

Probopass, Steelix and Sudowoodo.

 

[BeachBoy]

does anyone know a pokemon who can use sub and setup sword dance apart form garchomp.

Heracross, Gliscor, Infernape, Lucario, Scizor, Weavile, Rhyperior, Leafeon...

Yeah, those came to mind first. ._.; There's over a hundred Pocket Monsters that can learn Swords Dance + Substitute if I recall correctly, just gotta find what you need in terms of resistances, etc and who fits the niche in that slot of your Battle Tower team.

 

[Banjora Marxvile]

Can I have a good moveset for a Special Sweeper Gengar please? I'm thinking of Thunderbolt, Shadow ball, Focus Blast and Will O Wisp.
