Flygon

Back after 1 year+
I was thinking of getting a new flygon for the BF. Does this moveset sound good?

Flamethrower (with decent speed and Sp Attack, it fries ice types)
E-Quake (STAB, Pwns rock, steel, and Electric types)
Dragon Breath/Claw (Can't decide, since D-Claw is more powerful and D-Breath has 30% chance of Paralyzing)
Filler (With decent speed and sp again, I was thinking of Giga Drain to hurt those annoying water types)

I'd use Fire Blast over 'thrower and Rock Slide in the last slot.

Rock Slide over Flamethrower. Uses superior Attack, causes flinching, and SE's alot.

i was wanting to have flamethrower so that I at least have a chance of not missing, and fire blast has a bad habit of missing.

It has 85% Acc IIRC. That is the loss of Acc is made up by 30% Burn Chance and more Power.

IMO, it seems that FB misses a heck of a lot whenever you use (happened with my entei on Colo, then it got PWNed) it. i'll think it over. i guess I'll use RS.
Eidt: I just looked it up on the main site and the effect rate of burn for Fireblast is accually 10% like Flamethrower

A) It doesn't have any defense weaknesses, so I want +Speed -Defense as my nature
B) I hate quick attack
C) I want to have a move that is at least 2x effective againsst dragons, since I already have a move supereffective against ice
D) I don't really like screech, and Flygon doesn't have all that good defenses so it can't really afford to miss a turn.
E) I may try substitute since Smogon recommends it.

What about getting STAB from a dragon type move? I like both D-Breath and D-Claw, but the only Paralyzing move flygon learns is D-Breath and can use it well to lower the speed of it's opponents.

1. It resists rock and poison and is a cber.
2. Whatever, it is really a filler, helps agianst endrevvers/flaier sas well as stricking fatser pokemon.
3.Most dragons are flying so Rock Slid eis good.
4. It has fine defenses and good resistances, creech is like a swords dance.
5. Lats time I checked, 100>80.
