Thing is, Bulky Gyarados + Taunt is commen nowadays. I would go for Thunderbolt over Ice Beam.

Blissey shouldnt be staying in on Gyarados anyways. It also invites Garchomp, Salamence and Bulky ground types to stat/Set up up on you.

However, people do like to bring that out later on, as walls last the longest in the battle.
You might have nothing to switch to.

 

[latioslegends]

Oh quite a interesting set. So have two of them out at the same time then?

That would mean you weren't properly prepared. If you end up with blissey vs. Gyarados, you obviously made a lot of bad plays during that battle. Like letting your counter die. All Gyara usersstrive to accomplish that these days, if you let them do that, you're toast. French Toast perhaps ;)

EDIT: If by "2 of them" you mean two attack moves, yeah, both can work. also, just ice beam works fine as well. though having teh toss is always good.

Taunt is uberly predictable.

Bulky Gyarados is a lead usually thanks to its ability.

Besides its not particularly threatening.

Go Gyarados

Go Blissey

Withdraw Blissey

Go Starmie/Gengar

Gyarados uses Taunt or Dragon Dance

Starmie / Gengar : " lol im still faster than you" Thunderbolt.

Garchomp, Salamence, <Insert Bulky ground here> ARE FAR more threatening.

Anyways no one sends Gyarados in on Blissey in fear of being Thunderwaved.

For blissey at least ;) Ice Beam covers WAY more of blissey's threats, namely the #1 blissey killer of ADV, Dugtrio! also the dragons don't last long getting beamed.

Ok I just got to breed them now. Would a good nature for slaking be Jolly?

Ok thx. Just asking, I only have one special sweeper for my team (alakazam timid) What would make a good second one???

 

[MegaMushroom07]

Starmie and Choice Specs; TTar's nightmare.

 

[latioslegends]

Neat and i already have a starmie. Timid for it right?

 

[Dark Azelf]

Starmie and Choice Specs; TTar's nightmare.

Unless you switch it in on a Crunch or a Dragon Dance from a max speed Jolly Standard one which outspeeds Starmie.

 

[MegaMushroom07]

I suppose; Not really my area. I prefer to use a Milotic, as it can sweep, and Special Wall.

 

[Shiraishi]

Just my little opinion, I don't like using 2 Sp. sweepers on the same team. 1 Sp. sweeper and a mixed sweeper should work ^_^

 

[latioslegends]

hm maybe milotic, what would be a good nature, and set for it??

Milotic@leftovers
Bold Nature
148 HP /240 DEF / 120 SP.ATT
- Ice Beam
- Surf
- Hypnosis
- Recover

IT MUST run 120 sp.att evs to ohko Garchomp.

This set allows for dual walling.

 

[latioslegends]

huh looks good. Now just to trade for one.

 

[ABYAY]

Well, with myself being a user of anti-standard pokemon (just something to break the ice), I never see Feraligatr much.

So I ask this; Is it possible to run a Feraligatr with the below moveset?

Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 atk, 252 spd, 6HP

Dragon Dance
Earthquake
Waterfall
Ice Fang

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on whether this was possible or not.

 

[Shiraishi]

Gator is good, it's just that Gyara does it's job better ._. You're gonna get phazed pretty easily with that set, stick taunt in there.
