Donphan or Ursaring ???

[Souless_Heat]

Which should I use in Emerald?

 

[Undertaker88]

i would go with donphan cause he is much quicker and uses rollout which is good against bird type pokemon

 

[WhiteWizard42]

donphan if you need a physical tank/rock resist/spinner, ursaring if you just want a physical sweeper.

Rollout sucks.

Donphan is one of those pokemon that are better on NetBattle than in-game. I think the In-game set is this:

Donphan @ Leftovers.
Adamant/ Impish nature.
-Earthquake
-Rock slide
-Roar
-Rest/ Toxic

 

[Souless_Heat]

Thanks, Donphan does seem to be the better of the two because of the high defense and attack, Spin, and a STAB EQ, but I was still unsure on the choice since Ursaring had a higher attack.

i would go with donphan cause he is much SLOWER and uses ROCK SLIDE which is good against bird type pokemon

fixed, donphan is a lot slower then ursaring, and rollout is stupid

 

[Tazzler]

It is only 5 points, so its not that much. I would go with ursaring, it is a lot faster to kill stuff even if donphan has stab eq.

 

[Crypted Wolf]

Ursaring@leftovers
Nature:Adamant
~Bulk up/Shadow ball/Earthquake
~Rest
~Sleep Talk
~Return

I like this for Ursaring.

 

[Tazzler]

Too bad ursaring can't learn shadow ball.

 

[Crypted Wolf]

Crap...I forgot :\.

 

[Tazzler]

-.-; Just lol...I expected more from your Msterofwearwolfs.....

 

[DragonDance]

Paybacks are a *****, MOWW.

I forgot the Ursaring set...

Ursaring @ Leftovers.
-Return
-Earthquake
-Swords Dance
-Filler.

 

[WhiteWizard42]

for ursaring, i like SD/return/EQ/(RS or something), adamant @ lefties.

EDIT: beaten

 

[Crypted Wolf]

How, Ironic X_x. Quote from me.

Ok on Topic:

STABed Return would do more than any Donphan's Earthquake.

 

[Poke'Blaze]

Ursaring his Slash does a number on you

 

[Nightcat]

But return is much better.

~nightcat ;197;

 

[SwordofAeons]

Yea Return>Slash

 

[Poke'Blaze]

The only problem with Return is that what if Ursaring hates you...than maybe the attack Frustration?

 

[Crypted Wolf]

Return has a power of 104 i belive and Slash has a power of 70.

That not a big problem. All you do is give it items,(Iron,Zinc,Etc: )

 

[WhiteWizard42]

Return has a power of 104 i belive and Slash has a power of 70.

102, actually.

and the simplest way to make a pokemon happy is just to walk around a lot with it in the party, holding a soothe bell. every 256 steps, its happiness increases by 2. (for those using emerald, that's 1 lap from verdanturf to route 118 and back)
