Milotic or Starmie, I;d say.

did I not hear octillory? It can use charge beam (or I think zap cannon), psy beam, lock-on and octakazooca.

Those are all awful moves. Just awful.

lBut you are right. Octillery is a great poke, with a diverse movepool.

I think charge beam increases s.att does it not?

Octillery@Choice Specs
Modest
252 SpA, 252 speed???? maybe HP, I dunno
~Surf
~Flamethrower
~Emergy Ball
~Ice Beam

I'm pretty sure that is octillery's set...HP electiric>charge beam.

 

[sims796]

Yes. But it is too slow to use it. As soon as it boost, I'll take advantage of the weak move by wiping it out. Lock-On+Zap Cannon combo fails, since I will simply switch out on Lock on. Both Psybeam & Octazooka are too weak.


However, Octillery leatns many powerful moves. Flamethrower, Ice Beam, hell even Psychic. Charge Beam, now that I think of it, is pretty good, but Octillery is too slow, and has mediocre defenses.

 

[boo836]

Wait, octillory can learn flamethrower? Must have missed that.

 

[Anti]

Yeah, pretty much. With octillery, you go for power.

EDIT: Know a pokemon's movepool b4 making sets, otherwise you could miss crucial details boo.

He learns many good moves. Ice Beam, Flamethrower, Energy Ball, Psychic, just to name a few.

I'm not the best in giving advice. But I think it should have charge beam if it knows psychic.

Why is that? Electric and psychic moves together have terrible coverage...far too many pokemon wall it. And if you aren't good at giving advice, don't give it, or you'll mislead people.

 

[boo836]

Also what do use for info? I use psypoke.

Anti is right, on every part of that sentence. He learns too many good moves to use Psychic.

EDIT:I use Seribii.net

That is way off-topic. My reference is experience, which is by far the best way to learn. Serebii covers the easy basics though...experience by actually bvattling pwns those sites...end.

EDIT: Yeah, sims. Psychic has terrible coverage...many steels wall that combo, or take little damage from it. Steelix has pitiful special defense, but would definately take out octiallery, which is why you have to diversify its (octiallert's) set.

They can lower your oponent s.def or increase your s.attc. Sorry for typos I haven't mastered the wii.

What? Oh, psychic to hurt their SpD, charge beam to raise your SpA. lol, any hazer or PHazer lols at that strategy, and it relies far too much on luck. Psychic's effect is a 20% chance I believe, just give it choice specs for more power.

That is still, in no way, a good combo. In order for it to work, I must hope that Psychic reduces sp.def, and I must hope Charge Beam increases sp.atk. Not good.

You need to learn more on strategy. Don't give any advice till ya do. No one is gonna let you charge up, and the chance sp.def is lowered is pretty low. Plus, with Octillery's speed & defences, it'll be wiped out all too fast. The opponent is smart. S/He will act to wipe you out, they won't sit their to get hit, while you put together a two piece strategy.

That about sums it up. Any strategy that relies on luck is lol, it would be like hoping Rex Grossman doesn't suck, the key word being hope.

 

[boo836]

Well that works too. Or give it expert belt for your moveset apcw13.

No...Choice specs is by far superior. Octillery won't be lasting long, so you need to go out with a band, Kapeesh? And as sims said, don't give bad advice...learn more about battling first, as you clearly don't know many basics.
