pure power, huge power, truant, slow start, multitype and wonder guard can't be skill swapped.

Are you sure?

It says it doesn't work only with Multitype and Wonderguard.....

I was planning on having Venemoth to Swap his Tinted Lens to Slaking... At first I thought Medicham knew Skill Swap. Imagine the devastation with a Pure Power Slaking or Regigigas.

Confirming the above. That's why people are always trying to do a Regigigas/Slaking + Skill Swapper strategy. Doesn't always work because the other Pokemon ends up worthless then.

You know that you're allowed to have at least one non water move right?

You know that you're allowed to have at least one non water move right?

Also, your Empoleon's moveset is awesome. And by awesome I mean stupid. And by stupid I mean completely inferior to Surf / Ice Beam / Grass Knot / HP Electric.

Ninja'd you by two days.

OH MAH GAWD

Man Muk you. My Charizard with Ember, Flamethrower, Fire Spin, and Fire Blast beats that Empoleon any day.

Meh my post is something he might understand better.

I'm no Pokemon Researcher but tbh I'm not sure if the OP even understands the obvious advantages of a diverse moveset.

Blast Burn > [Ember * (Flamethrower + Fire Spin) ] ^ Fire Blast

 

[The Real Gamer]

Blast Burn > [Ember * (Flamethrower + Fire Spin) ] ^ Fire Blast

Blast Burn is greater than Ember times the sum of Flamethrower and Fire Spin to the Fire Blast power?

NAAAHHH

Yay for stating the obvious.

[Terrador14]

Ack! Seriousness!

Right now, I'm testing a team that goes like this:

UltiMario's LeadTar
Choice Scarf Latias
SubCharge Beam Rotom-C
DoubleSpikes/Spin Forry
Banded Champ
RP Aggron

My point here is to have the hazards up (Rocks for epicness, Spikes and TSpikes 'coz they work well with Aggron; Bulky Waters can eat it) and eliminate virtually everything that can thwart a sweep by said Aggron, perhaps sweeping with Rotom if that becomes an apparent option. I also capitalize on the popularity of Scizor with this team as half of its members draw Scizor like a fly to a garbage truck. In general, trying to revenge kill Rotom-C or Latias results in much **** for them. Champ is for mindgames because he is epic ****. Rotom is Cutter because I'm running Sub/Charge Beam/HP Fighting/Shadow Ball, and I want to lure Scizor. Don't want him scared off by Overheat, eh?

 

[Terywj [태리]]

You said Rocks for epicness.

Bad, very bad.

I'm running Band Nidoking instead of Scarf Nidoking and I'm getting mixed results. I may end up keeping the Scarfer.

Seaking? Slaking? Kingdra?

Terrador, it might be tricky getting up Spikes and Toxic Spikes with one Pokemon.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Seaking? Slaking? Kingdra?

Actually Kingler. jk

I'll re-edit, but you should know by now that I don't play OU. (So no Kingdra)

The following three pokemon was the team I used for Battle Tower: Singles Battles.

Focus Sash Azelf - Flamethrower, Psychic, Grass Knot and Explosion. 252 Sp.Atk/252 Speed
Soul Dew Latios - Grass Knot, Shadow Ball, Dragon Pulse, Hidden Power Fire 252 Sp.Atk/252 Speed
Lum Berry Tyranitar - Payback, Stone Edge, Fire Punch, Ice Punch (I think). 252 HP/252 Atk

I'm still not very happy about Latios, as he shares a similar weakness to Azelf, but the Soul Dew helps. I'm considering replacing him with Garchomp...but I fear my team will fall prey to Terywj's Majikarp...with the Life Orb and Splash, it'll make short work of my Tyranitar....hmm....

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I was told Soul Dew doesn't do anything for Latias and Latios.

You might need a Beldum on your team so you can counter Magikarps.

-Terywj

Really? I was under the impression that Soul Dew raises Latios' and Latias' Sp.Atk and Sp.Def. It's worth checking...

Kind regards,
olimarfan

 

[Wave⁂]

I think it's disabled in some of the Battle things.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Yes, Soul Dew boosts the Sp Atk and Sp Def stat by 50% when held, but I don't think it has any affect when Lati@s is used in the Battle facilities.

-Terywj

 

[WouW]

It doesn't double SpA and SpD, it boosts it by 50%.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Corrected. I knew there was something wrong with my post. O_o

-Terywj

Thanks. Ok then, I'll use Garchomp instead. I do have a problem though - I've been trying to catch a Gible with the desired nature and characteristic, but I've never suceeded. It's slightly frustrating for me, but is there an effecient method to achieve the nature and characteristic you want? Or am I just being too fussy?

Kind regards,

if you're using platinum, you can use a PID seed calculator.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Or Mingot's RNG.

same thing. it only works for platinum.

...which is what I just used to hatch a Shiny Oddish ^.^

 

[Wave⁂]

Vileplume or Bellawesome?

 

[M.K]

Vileplume or Bellawesome?

Bellawesome, but of course.

Especially for my Bellawesome/Slaking Combo.

First turn, Bellawesome uses Gastro Acid on my own Slaking, removing Traunt and allowing Slaking to unleash full power ^_^

 

[Terrador14]

Seaking? Slaking? Kingdra?

Terrador, it might be tricky getting up Spikes and Toxic Spikes with one Pokemon.

After doing some testing, I've noticed that to be true. Since Spikes are recommended for Aggron and I haven't been having any trouble with Bulky Waters, I figure I'll just run EQ on that set to avoid being totally owned by things such as Lucario and Metagross.

Yes, I am using Platinum. Thanks for the information!

By what standards? By ingame standards, it is a solid and powerful team. By metagame standards, you'd be obliterated by anyone with something remotely resembling skill. Also, posting movesets is rather handy. After all, you might be running an Ember/Growl/Double Kick/Scratch Blaziken.
