Looking at her stats, couldn't you make her defensive?

- Surf (For STAB)
- Ice Beam
- Recover
- Aqua Ring/Calm Mind

with Leftovers?

Ah. Yeah, maybe I wasn't thinkin' all that well for THAT moveset, dude. Yours seems a lot better. Next up, Armaldo.

-Rock Slide
-Cross Scissor
-Swords Dance
-Earthquake
@Scope Lens

Basically, this set is meant to make NICE use of Armaldo's high Attack, with Scope Lens adding to Critial Hits in the process. Also good would be Aerial Ace or Metal Claw.

Wow, nice tactics, Turnus. I especially like the Roar suggestion for Empeturo, because Agility is definitely going to prompt a switch to something to deal with him. Though it'd be perfect on Rentoraa, too.

Thanks :)

I knew I was gonna catch heat for Mikaruge's moveset, why Pulse and Silver Wind? I can sort of understand the former for STAB, but surely any sort of regeneration for him would be good, eh? Silver Wind for the random stat boosts?

Dark types, which he otherwise has nothing to effectively attack them with.

Grabacr said:
Though the changes to Lucario are utterly mystifying. Why pulses and psychic? Higher att? Dark Pulse over Shadow is fine because, ultimately, it's the same thing with different effects. Calm Mind for bumping his Sp. Att higher and Psychic for taking full advantage of this or because most types simply have no resistance to it (neutral damage)?

You have Dragon types covered between Enperuto and Kaburaisu so you don't need Dragon Pulse. Psychic gives him broader type coverage, (and don't forget that Lucario is weak to Fighting). For stats, it is better in this case to stick with Special Attack offensively, so Blaze Kick is out (and Calm Mind in). Luster Cannon is a less useful version of Pulse Bomb, and is not needed. In summary: 3 Special Attacks (1 STAB) and Calm Mind to boost them. Do you understand my choices now? :)

another set:
Mojanbo@leftovers
Impish
252 HP/136 Attack/120 Defense
Power Whip
Sleep Powder
Synthesis
Leech Seed/Reflect/Stun Spore
I didn't realize how high this things HP/Defense was, it takes Earthquakes better than Celebi o_O I also didn't notice Power Whip, which is basically a Grass type Fire Blast, which is kickass. Although it's considered physical, but Mojanbos attack is almost as high as its special attack anyway. I see alot of potential in Mojanbo.
Click to expand...
I noticed Mojanbo's stats as well. I like them. =)

Last slot should be Leech Seed, BTW. Although, I prefer EQ to take care of the Fires and Steels that will reign over it. Unless you want to sleep them, and then you run. =/

Is this post referring to me, if so then the reason I listed those attack is because he got a wide choice of special attacks to use and so forth, but yeah some of those attack I could get rid of and stick in something useful.

Also could anyone rate these two, and you know give me some EV spreads for them.

Yonowaaru@Leftover
Nature: Adamant
-Shadow Punch
-Earthquake
-Ice Punch/Fire Punch
-Trick Room/Thunder Punch/Brick Break

Roserade@Salac Berry
Nature: Modest
Weather Ball/Shadow Ball
Energy Ball
Sludge Bomb
Sunny Day/Synthesis

I was going to say Houndoom, but he'll simply take neutral damage.

Easily, nothing short of a massive oversight on my part. If you had simply said you were reviewing his moveset with the rest of the team in mind, I would've seen this coming. =P

Needs Rock Slide for that 4x weakness to Flyers. Although, for the same reason of 4x weak against Flyers, it is probably best to switch Heracross when he sees one anyways. =P

Stone Edge, why'd you recommend RS in a High Crit moveset? o_O
Click to expand...
You said last time you liked Rock Slide more than Stone Edge since something about missing more. =O

I must have missed the Critical Hit hax theme you were working with. xD

No but really, don't use Poison Stab.

@Judai: Judai, I'd use this for Heracross if I was you.

-Megahorn
-Focus Punch or Brick Break
-Rock Slide
-Bulk Up

And for Sceptile;
-Leaf Blade
-Scissor Cross
-Blade Test
-Swords Dance

Looks like a joke set if I ever saw one. =/

If you're going Physical with this guy, then throw in Sword Dance.

Adamant/Jolly Sceptile@Liechi/Salac Berry
Overgrow ability
-Leaf Blade
-Scissor Cross
-Earthquake
-Sword Dance

Watch out for Gengar and friends. You can put Blade Test over Scissor Cross if you want, or even over Sword Dance... But... >_>

Mojanbo can definitely use his Attack stat, but I still see him as a Sunnybeamer, as he needs the Speed boost:

Mojanbo@Leftovers
Trait: Chlorophyll
EVs: 200 HP / 252 SAtk / 52 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Sunny Day
- Solarbeam
- Sleep Powder
- Ancient Power/HP Fire

Fairly self-explanatory. With the Speed boost, Special Defense is Mojanbo's only low stat. Sleep Powder/Ancient Power on Fire types (the former if they have high Special Defense). HP Fire is also useful if you can get it.

IT WAS BRYON'S IDEA!

BTW, it was Cross Poison (a rather good move, kind of like the FT of poison types), maldito siego. =D

Ah, pinche mierda. Cross Poison y Poison Stab es la misma mierda de todos modos. xD
