The Search For The "Best" Physical Wall/Tank(Maybe)

ok. i'm not smart as i see so whats the the best moveset for rypherior. try frosslass.
 
Froslass isn't that great...at all IMO. Froslass can't wall anything, that's why we're in search of a tank. I still say swampert.
 
Well I don't know but I had

Megahorn
EQ
Stone Edge
Hammer Arm

that was ingame a long time ago

my cousins was
Fire Punch
EQ
Ice Punch
Megahorn


EDIT:well when you get a chance can you post a moveset for Swampy mine is abouve
 
Rhyperior NEEDS: EQ, Stone Edge
WANTS: Megahorn, avalanche
COULD USE: other common phys. attacks like the elem. punches. I'd use those first four.
 
Good, now, EVs and nature. I'd say adamant, impish, brave, or relaxed. W/e you want. It doesn't need speed, so no worries there.
 
Anti Pop Cutlure Warrior 13: I thought you couldn't talk now =P

anyway can shuckle learn a move to keep blissey in battle? like can't escape move? that could be nice. what about staraptor. frosslass is actually great. its my bros star pokemon maxxed out sp. atk and speed. i forget the moves, but i think its one psyhical move, and i know it has toxic. his record is 39-4. its only been knocked out 4 times i watch all his battles. oh i know, its ice beam! here it is:

Frosslass@IDK Item
Destiny Bond
Ice Beam
Toxic
Substitute

If its fire or metal type, he just destny bond's it. anything else, he'll substitute then toxic it and if its still in substitute, ice beam. he'll only switch out to blissey and sometimes gengar. he uses it very good.
 
About shuckle, seismic toss/ice beam from bliss wears it down, so bliss beats it head-to-head anyways, not to mention healing the group. For froslass, it's a she BTW. IT doesn't wall much though, just brings down one poke. That's not really a wall or a tank.
 
Once again Bronzong.

Base Stats: 67 89 116 79 116 33

Bronzong@Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Relaxed Nature (+Def,-Spd)
252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SDef
-Gyro Ball
-Earthquake
-Trick Room
-Hypnosis

Only weak to fire. Immune to Ground and Poison. Resistant to Normal, Grass , Ice , Flying, Psychic, Rock, Dragon and Steel. What more can you ask for? Try to get zero IVs in Speed too which would give you 63 speed at level 100. Then Gyro Ball is just godly.

Their is also Spiritomb.
 
How'd I forget bronzong? That's a worthy poke. He is indeed looking for a tank BTW.

Why hasnt anyone considered a Heatproof Bronzong to surprise it's foes? There are rarely any Sp. Ground attacks for a Physical Bronzong, and there is a LOT of Sp. Fire attacks used if you have a physical Bronzong. Earthquake is scary, I know, but you could have heatproof to surprise your opponent. I doubt an opponent using a Garchomp against you with use Earthquake against Bronzong, the player would have no idea at all

Levitate > Heatproof simply becuase having an immunity is better then taking damage altogether.

I meant to surprise an opponent, people will THINK that Bronzong has Levitate, they will go for a quick Flamethrower, Fire Blast etc.

If your using a Physical Bronzong, Heatproof is best in my opinion because Special Ground type moves arent very common

Bronzong will still take a dent from fire attacks even if it isn't super effective. Togekiss, Houndoom, Salamence and maybe Garchomp can still at least 2HKO Bronzong with a Fire attack.

It is up to preference really.
 
My Mixed Sweeper:
Infernape@Focus Sash
252 speed/158 attack/100 special attack
Blaze
Naive
-Nasty Plot
-Flamethrower
-Close Combat
-Brick Break

Thought you were going with a mixedmence. Infernape will serve well of course though.

Well for Tanking, Tangrowth is amazing. Steelix and Bronzong are probabley better choices for you though, at the moment you need walls.

But if your still interested I highly suggest you check out Tangrowth. I'm not to experienced with conducting a movepool for her though. Just make sure to keep here away from special sweepers.

Yes I wanted to use a Mixedmence but no one would post a full moveset!Also I have Decided on Swampy for a Tank sooo could Someone Post A Moveset?
 
Yay! Swampy, one of my favs. Here ya go:

Swampert@Leftovers
Relaxed Nature
EVs: 252 Attack, rest in defenses and HP
~Curse
~EQ
~Avalanche
~Rest/Waterfall

I'm bad with EVs for Swampy, but the moveset I'm pretty sure of. Stone edge is another option I forgot to put in there in that last slot.
 
Id Go 252 Atk/ 158 Def/ 100 HP for the EV's I think but yeah!Well Can Someone Post A full Moveset of a Mixedmence?with EV's Nature and All?Also Thank you Anti-Pop Culture Warrior13 for all the help!
