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

Here's mixedmence, or my set at least:

Salamence@Life Orb
Hasty Nature (i think, maybe naive)
EVs: 252 Speed, 132 Special Attack, 126 Attack
~Dragon Claw
~HP Flying
~EQ/Stone Edge
~Flamethrower

Yeah, obviously for 4th gen. I believe there is another mixedmence set, but that's the one mence set I'm not a master at. I know the EVs are good though.

EDIT: Forgot about Dragon Dance, which is common on mixedmence. My set probably isn't the standard.
 
Thanks ummm I know this is a n00bish question but how do you get certain HP types?Also I would want to put DD in there somewhere.

EDIT:these are the moves I was thinking of running

Dragon Dance
Dragon Claw
Flamethrower
EQ/Stone Edge
 
Okay, here's my DDmixmence:

Same as last time...
~Dragon Dance
~Dragon Claw/EQ
~Flamethrower
~any attacking move really...

The purpose is to use DD, and the opponent will switch into the physical wall, let's say skarmory. Use flamethrower on the turn they switch out (which is very predictable) and bye-bye steelix/Skarmory/forretress. Simple prediction really.
 
Plus then they send in a special wall and a DD'd EQ/Dragon Claw wipes them out!So Mixedmence is all about confusing your foes.In the Last Slot I would Add....Either Dragon Claw(if not used abouve)or Stone Edge/EQ(if not used abouve)
 
I'd use EQ and Dragon Claw both, with fthrower and DD.
 
Ok sooo
Salamence@Life Orb
108 Atk/ 150Sp.atk/ 252 Spd
Nature: Hasty
Ability: Intimidate
-Flamethrower
-DD
-Dragon Claw
-EQ

hows that?

Salamence@Life Orb

-DD
-Dragon Claw
-EQ

You posted it twice, just so you know. It's fine, but since you have attack EVs and DD, modest/timid wouldn't be too bad either if you hate subtracting defenses.
 
Ok sooo
Salamence@Life Orb
108 Atk/ 150Sp.atk/ 252 Spd
Nature: Modest
Ability: Intimidate
-Flamethrower
-DD
-Dragon Claw
-EQ

hows that?

Modest to take care of most Steel types!
 
Looks good. Not much else to say. Could use a second opinion though.
 
Ok(did you see my new avvy?)well if anybody else comes in then then I hope they give us a second opinion!
 
Well
EQ
DD
Dragon Claw
Flametrhower

is the movepool I originally posted in the other thread so I'm going to stand by it. And ya I'd say go Modest, you want flamethrower ot pack a punch and DD will make up for whatever attack points your losing hopefully. So I basically back you both up.

I'm not really good with Swampert so I'm just going to leave the moveset Anti.... posted.(I still think Tangrowth deserves some consideration)
 
Tangrowth is a very good pokemon, but I think his mind has been made up. I agree though.
 
Yeah, you could go with this set

Tangrowth-Leftovers/Heat Rock
Bold-252 Defense, 152 HP, 104 Special Attack
Substitue
LEech Seed
Sunny Day
AQncient Power

I dont really know, made up on the spot.
 
I personally think this works better:

Tangrowth @ Leftovers
Impish Nature
EVs: 252 HP / 225 Def / 31 Spd
- Leech Seed
- Power Whip
- Knock Off
- Sleep Powder

What Excactly does Heat Rock do?

It prolongs the term of Sunny Day's affect.

Nice set. I'd use that if you use tangrowth.
 
I think swampy would be better since you have steelix as your physical wall.
