Moveset Experimentation Thread

[Zook]

We all know the standard moveset for Skarm, Heracross, etc. But what about the newcomers? Let us share our ideas and critique eachother!

Rampardos @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Mold Breaker
EVs: 6 Hp/252 Atk/252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SpAtk)
-Head Smash
-Earthquake
-Crunch
-Brick Break

I'm not sure how much CS increases Spd, but I think this will work. Actually, Adament might work, too. I guess you could switch out Head Smash with Stone Edge, if you are, you know, a *****.

Heh, I like the idea of him holding a Choice Scarf, cause with a Jolly nature, he'd have 429 Atk with 354 Speed, while with an Adamant nature, you'd have a wopping 471 Atk with 323 Speed.

I THINK it's a 1.5x increase to attack, but I'm not sure; I know it's 1.5x to Speed though.

Instead of the Choice Scarf could replace on of those moves (probably brick break) with Rock Polish to make him outspeed everything, of course you'd have to live a turn to do so but I think the Big guy can take it.

You could try giving him a life orb, but along with head smash it's practically suicide....

Give Rampardos a Custap berry instead of choice scarf. It will make him attack first on the first move only though which is a must have for it. In my opinion, you cant really sweep efficently with choice items. You can probably KO one poke, but the next poke will be able to stand up to the next attack if the person is smart.
