PuffPuff Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) First, Toxic can be cured via Aromatherapy / Heal Bell. Secondly, Wish is far superior to Aqua Ring. You can also pass it along to another Pokemon and, more than likely due to Vaporeon's larger HP, get most, if not all, of your health back. I can go with this set then.

Colonel M Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Toxic still isn't bad, and it can be used over Ice Beam or HP Electric. I would keep HP Electric if only to deter Starmie from staying in and nuking you or keeping Gyarados from 6-0 the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venusaur Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 If you're running Wish, why not run Protect with it? Then you don't have to worry about that second turn, at least for Vaporeon itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, very true. You also have no real chance of losing to Bounce Gyarados either unless you run out of Protects somehow. Just make sure to pack that Hidden Power Electric.

SB. Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Very well. I can go with this. Porygon_Z Nature:Modest Ability: Download Held Item: Choice Specs Tri-Attack Ice Beam Recover Dark Pulse Very well. I can go with this. Tri Attack stands for being the best choice for Porygon-Z. It should get Ice Beam to swat away Steel, Flying, Ground, Grass, and Dragon Types. Recover for healing in Wifi; and Dark Pulse to hit any Pokemon. Since it can't have Nasty Plot with this set, download is needed to help give it a Sp.Attk boost in some battles by 1 level. =) Wut. Adaptability is still better to smack something in the face with Tri Attack. And BoltBeam is popular for a reason. Nature:Modest EVs: 4 HP/252 Sp Atk/252 Spd Ability: Adaptibility Held Item: Choice Specs Tri-Attack Ice Beam Trick Thunderbolt Porygon has high Sp Attack but it's stats are mediocre everywhere else, so Tri Attack fits it perfectly. Trick can cripple an enemy trying to set up on you and gives you ability to access all of your moves without switching. BoltBeam has great coverage. Just asking, have you ever played anyone that didn't come from Serebii? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venusaur Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 And BoltBeam is popular for a reason. Let me go into a tiny bit more depth into this: BoltBeam is only resisted by very few Pokemon: Magnezone, Lanturn, Shedinja, Frost/Heat Rotom, Lightningrod Seaking, and Mamoswine with Thick Fat. That's only 6 Pokemon out of 649, and you're not likely to see very many of those. Everything else is hit at least neutrally, making them one of (if not the best) coverage moves.

PuffPuff Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Just asking, have you ever played anyone that didn't come from Serebii? Yep. Had some matches beforehand at FESS. ----- Today's Pokemon Golem Nature: Jolly Held Item: Quick Claw Protect/Substitute Explosion Rock Slide Earthquake Only set I'd recommend. Because of it's brittle Sp.Defenses and low speed. Protect/Substitute is needed to know if your opponent carries Grass, and or Water Moves. Which it has quad weaknesses to. Quick Claw is needed to help it attack first sometimes. Has garbage speed. Jolly to get it to grow as much Speed as possible. I'd pump 252 EV into both Sp.Def and Speed. 6 can go to attack. For it's attacks...it also gets STAB to both of these moves as well. =) Edited May 2, 2012 by リンダ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel M Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Again, Quick Claw is technically banned under Smogon competitive play. Not sure with Serebii, though they often follow suit with our rules. As for the Golem set, it's "okay", but the EVs are godawful. You're either making Golem a bulky hitter or full out offensive. Jolly with 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe best suits Rock Polish Golem. Choice Band should opt for Adamant since Jolly isn't really getting a major jump on anything. I would also question this as inferior to (F)Aggron, which is a little faster after an Automotize and fires off STAB Head Smash with no recoil. If you're going for an offensive tank sort of approach, 44 Spe EVs, max Atk, 212 HP Adamant should be used. Finally, Stone Edge is superior to Rock Slide. Also Explosion sucks now because it doesn't halve the enemy's Def like it did in previous generations. It should only be used as a filler possibly on Choice Band. This set is infinitely superior to yours: - Rock Blast - Earthquake - Sucker Punch - Stealth Rock If you're not afraid of Substitute, Stone Edge can work over Rock Blast just fine.

Actually, Aggron isn't allowed into NU, which is where you'd be using Golem, most likely. Admittedly it still has competition in Gigalith, but Golem has Sucker Punch and STAB on EQ over it, at least.

PuffPuff Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) Today's Pokemon Dusknoir Nature: Timid, Modest, or Neutral Held item: Muscle Band, Spell Tag/Spooky Plate, or Leftovers Shadow Sneak/Dark Pulse/Pursuit Calm Mind Psychic/Shadowball/Night Shade Torment/Will-O-Wisp/Imprison If u teach it Shadow Sneak for it's first move, it will get to attack first plus getting STAB to this as well. Definitely great to have for it's good attack growths. Pursuit is also good for if your opponent tries to switch their Pokemons, it'll do double the damage to the Pokemon before it gets switched out! Dark Pulse for a given 20% chance at flinching your opponent. 30% if u have the King's Rock. Calm Mind needed to power up it's special attacks for it's bad Sp.Attk. Psychic/Shadowball/Night Shade are all good bets. If u want a Physical attacking Dusknoir, then definitely give it Night Shade. This attack, like Demi...it cannot be reduced DMG no matter what. On Wifi, it'll either do 50 or 100 damage. Torment is a consideration for the fourth move to prevent your opponents from using the same move more than once. The opponent's Pokemon is toast if it knows only one attack move. =) Will-O-Wisp is another good choice as well. Imprison should be considerable only if u teach it attacking moves that most of your opponents will likely teach their pokes in the end. Like Shadowball, Psychic, Dark Pulse, Calm Mind, etc. Unless u switch it out of battle after this move is used, it will prevent your opponents from using any of the moves that your Pokemon knows that theirs do. =) Edited May 4, 2012 by リンダ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel M Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Can we at least remove the slashitis on this one? It burns my eyes more than your terrible shortening of the word "you". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuffPuff Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Meoletta Nature: Serious Held Item: Wise Specs Ability: Serene's Grace Calm Mind/Rest/Bulk Up Close Combat Relic Song Psychic Good set overall. =) Relic Song will get her to transform into Pilloette form to give STAB to both Relic Song (it actually gets STAB to either of her forms; and has a chance to put your opponents to sleep) and Close Combat. Psychic will get STAB to her Aria form. Calm Mind/Rest/Bulk Up are good choices for the last move! She also gets Serene Grace doubling it's effect of Relic Song's chance to putting an opponent to sleep. Edited May 9, 2012 by リンダ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.M. Gei Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 no one cares about meloetta it hasn't even been released yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
