What about uncommonly used 'mon and their movesets?

[UmbralReaver]

This is GREAT! Keep it up, please! What about Loudred/Exploud? Is it UU? What would you use as it's Moveset?

 

[Lucifer.]

Exploud can be a physical or special attacker. So his options are pretty well varied.

Special:

Exploud [Modest] EVs: 252 Sp Atk, 252 Speed/HP, 6 [anything but Attack)

Ice Beam
Flamethrower
Extrasensory
Water Pulse

Physical:

Exploud [Adamant] EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed/HP, 6 [anything but Sp Atk]

Shadow Ball
Howl
Return
Brick Break

Or you could take two moves out of either set (if physical then definitely Howl) and add Rest + Sleep Talk.

Actually quick attack is more useful than you think. It seems trash too but until you battle a lot on netbattle, you'll see why every time MUST have at least one quick attacker.

Quick attack advantages
-stop 1 hp reversal/flail users
-last attack against something faster than you (most of the time against alakazam. If you sword danced but is weak and you're against alakazam, go quick attack for OHKO. Alakazam is faster than a lot of pokemon, but if you have quick attack it'll save your butt)
-stop salac berry abusers who relies on salac to sweep


Exploud is definitely UU, but in a UU team it's certainly a powerful team member ^_^

Exploud- [atk + / sp.atk -] @ leftovers/chesto
EV: Hp, atk
-return
-counter/rest
-shadowball
-extrasensory

It's another one of those Pokemon capable of anti Weezing too ^-^ High hp allows it to have a good use of counter. Return for STAB, and Shadowball is for type advantages. If counter doesn't suit you as you think its def is too low, then use chesto rest perhaps.

Exploud also prevents Skarm from psudeohazing it away, so it makes a nice compliment to Ninjask.

and... how does Exploud do that with the exception of OHKOing Skarm? o.o;
It doesn't have suction cups... oh wait nvm... Skarm can't use whirlwind and have to use roar x_x;

 

[Lucifer.]

Yeah it has Soundproof. Can't be affected by moves like Roar, Screech, etc. Pretty nifty.

 

[Frostweaver]

I know... at that time I was thinking that Skarmory can use whirlwind too but I forgot that Skarmory won't be able to spike then x_x;

 

[UmbralReaver]

Wow, that suddenly made Exploud much more attractive.....

 

[Haneet]

Well I like swalot. This is a great moveset:

Swalot@Leftovers
{Jolly}
Yawn
Dream eater
Acid armour/Amnesia
Sludge bomb

Use yawn, and then acid armour/amnesia. If opponent wakes up and hit's you, it may survive, and use yawn again. Then eat their dreams and make it nightmares :badsmile: .

 

[Frostweaver]

The above looks fine except... dream eater o.o; don't split EVs for such a pitiful move... yawn is better as a force switch (pseudohaze). Use another physical attack instead of dream eater.

How about Zangoose? Is it UU?

Solrock?

 

[Xilion_Sword90]

Zangoose is pretty strong but is not used as often as Skarmory and Salamence.

Solrock is a rare sight on Netbattle

As for Swalot:

Swalot@Leftovers
Shadow Ball
Yawn
Sludge Bomb
Ice Beam

Ice beam for those UU Dragons

 

[awkwardsilencer]

Castform- [sp.atk + / atk -] @ quick claw
-weather ball
-sunny day
-rain dance
-Hail

 

[Frostweaver]

Zangoose? I have one on my team! o.o;

My moveset:

Zangoose- [atk + / sp.atk -] @ lum berry
EV: Atk and Speed max all
-swords dance
-double edge
-shadowball
-quick attack

It works very well against anything that isn't called Skarmory (but not like any Zangoose can do something about Skarmory anyway )


Solrock is UU... but it can be a pleasant surprise...

Solrock- [atk + / sp.atk -] @ quick claw
EV: Atk, def/hp
-earthquake/shadowball
-rock slide
-explosion
-overheat
