Endeavour or Steel wing ?

[Louie]

I'm stumped as to whether or not i should keep endeavour on my swellow or teach it steel wing instead...
any opinions/ideas ?

 

[Stardust25]

Well, it depends on the rest of your moveset, but generally, Steel Wing isn't a wonderful move. Endeavor would work good with a moveset like this:

Swellow

Return
Substitute
Endeavor
Toxic/Aerial Ace
@Salac Berry.

 

[Louie]

the moveset at the moment is

substitute
aerial ace
endeavour
wing attack

but thanks for the advice, your moveset sounds much better :]

 

[9voltdude]

you should go with...

facade
steel wing
aerial ace
quick attack

 

[Volteon]

I like endeavor more, also blisseys, slakings and snorlaxes can fear you ! (principally slakings)

My lvl 100 Swellow has done me well:

Lvl 100 Swellow
Naughty@Focus band
Endeavour
Aerial ace
Steel wing(Takes care of the Ice/Rock pokemon)
HP fire

I think Endeavor is better, I learned that how does it make damage(or maybe not). For pokemons with high HP stat, Endeavor is one of the best moves.

Return
Aerial Ace
Steel Wing
Quick Attack
@ Choice Band

Facade's a good attack if you find Quick Attack too weak... and Swellow's pretty fast anyway...

 

[Blaziken X]

swellow needs steel wing for the rock and ice types

 

[Neo]

The Swellow I had in the BF was:
Swellow@Leftovers
Docile nature (I have this strange attraction from Docile natured Pokes...)
-Return
-Facade
-Steel Wing
-Aerial Ace

I think the biggest shock for me about it was that it had a flawless Defense, but this Poke was probably one of my best BF Pokes.

0mastar's suggestion is best.

 

[Neo]

0mastar's suggestion is best.

Well, the only reason that I had Facade instead of Quick Attack is because Swellow has a base stat of 125 for Speed anyway, had I usually only use Facade to take advantage of Swellow's Guts ability as well as the raise of power from Facade's ability.

 

[aipomkong]

facade is generally more useful in-game actually, as you will get randomly toxic'd i guess

 

[PDL]

true... but then Swellow is generally more useful in-game... since he's usually outclassed by all sorts of other normal/flying types

 

[Freakshow]

Swellow isn't outclassed by Farfetch'd, Fearow and Pidgeot

 

[OgLoc187]

Swellow is probaly the best UU flying pokemon out there.

The stupid moveset a an UNSKILLED Trainer would use:

Swellow Item:Leftovers
Adamant nature
252 Speed/Attack,6 HP

Substitute
Hyper Beam
Aerial Ace
Hidden Power:Ground


The moveset a SKILLED Trainer would use:

Swellow Item:Choice Band
Adamant nature
Ev's 252 Speed/Attack,6 HP
Sp.Defense could be added so Swellow can survive more Special Attacks.

Return
Aerial Ace
Hidden Power:Ground
Steel Wing

 

[Freakshow]

The moveset a SKILLED Trainer would use:

Swellow Item:Choice Band
Adamant nature
252 Speed,190 Attack,68 Sp.Defense

Return
Aerial Ace
Hidden Power:Ground
Steel Wing

More like 252 Atk/252 spd/6 whatever. Swellow can't last long

 

[SapphireL]

Steel Wing imo. :/ If you can do more damage, 's better. XD Go with 0mastar.
