    ok im making a Salamence on by Ruby cart and have got this setup so far for a physical sweeper.

    here he is:

    Salamence:
    @ Leftovers
    Adamant 252 Att/129 Speed/129 HP

    - Dragon Dance
    - Double Edge <-- still unsure but the best move i can come up with atm
    - Aerial Ace
    - Brick Break

    I'mnot using Earthquake or rockslide to replace Double Edge as i cannot breed Slide onto him and dont have Earthquake TM anymore.

    so what are your suggestions? bare in mind im only playing RUBY and dont have access to any other games and have no TM's left except for the buyable ones.

    thanks everyone in advance

    Jaws...
     
    Flamethrower/Fire blast? **** pesky skarms >_>
     
    my friends never use skarm so i dont need a fire attack on him at all (they dont know how to use him at all and hense see him as a cruddy pokemon)

    so anything other than a fire type attack? anyone know?
     
    like i said fire blast is a wasted space for me on this build as the sole purpose id have it is for Sarkm but i will never see him because my friends hate him and never use him at all hence y i dont want it
     
    Random question - you have your Salamence's HP type? I know this is ingame, so I was wondering if you knew what it was (assuming you know his EV setup)

    EDIT: If you want to show just how annoying Skarmory can be, why not let your friends find out? ;-)

    Skarmory@Leftovers
    EV: 252 HP, 129 Def, 129 Sp Def
    Nature: + Def/Att, - Sp Att
    Toxic
    Drill Peck/HP Ground
    Roar
    Spikes

    Run from special attackers, and stick around for physical attackers. Consider HP Ground only if you want to take out Magneton which can stop you running away (although you'll probably need some Speed EV and a + Speed nature to pull that off. Interestingly enough, my own L100 Skarmory has a + Speed nature and HP Ground - base damage 54)
     
    ill give it a go once ive trained up my primary team :) i think it will be a very unwelcome suprise for them. ive got a breeding chain started for Salamence atm so im concentrating on that right now...going to give up on that last move and give it flame thrower or fire blast. which one is better? (remember im not playing net battle so i can use PP Up's for Fire Blast if needed...my friends use them so im going to also)

    Jaws...
     
    i think it can be bred onto him...i think i read it somewere but i cant find it atm and i have NO idea what the breeding chain would be.

    Jaws....
     
    Easiest way to get Drill Peck onto Skarmory - breed with Doduo/Dodrio.
     
    Without Earthquake or Rock Slide this will be a bit harder.

    Salamence@Leichi Berry
    Nature Adamant
    EVs:Attack, and Speed
    Dragon Dance
    Double Edge
    Brick Break
    Flamethrower/Fire Blast

    This was weird not putting Earthquake or Rock Slide on him.
     
    And the great part is all of those moves can be bred to Salamence (I know this is for in-game purposes, so it's helpful to know it's possible to breed as well). Although it is weird to see him without Earthquake or Rock Slide.

    That's what I said, because those are like staples on him. :D
     
    Salamence@Leftovers
    Modest
    252 Speed, 168 Attack, 90 Special Attack
    -Dragon Dance
    -Aerial Ace/Return
    -Brick Break/Earthquake
    -Dragon Claw/Fire Blast
     
    Did you notice he could trade with his friends? =0
     
    Well, I think in this case he was implying he would not be trying to get another EQ on Salamence.

    But really, Salam's physical movepool is limited after Quake and what you already have, so you might as well go fire blast/flamethrower incase they pull a forretress/scizor/skarm/steelix on you.

    And there's really that many usable Ice-types. Besides,

    Rock Slide (after several Dragon Dances) > Fire Blast
    on Lapras or Regice.
     
    Well, Brick break too so... =D
