[mR.tOp37]

Dusclops @ leftovers/ chesto berry
Nature: Impish
Trait: Pressure
iv's: 26/22/20/28/10/31 (hp/atk/def/spe/spA/spD)
ev's: 252 hp, 129 def, 129 spD
Moves:
Will-o-wisp
Curse
Substitute
Rest/ Pain split

it puts status conditions, curse for more damage, leftovers for healing, substitute for stalling and with pressure drains the opponents pp, pain split for healing and damage. and maybe i'll put a wisher or an aromatherapist pokemon in my team. well, please rate and suggest stuff, especially on the ivs, are they FINE.? how about my ev spread, are they also FINE.?

I'm sorry- what is curse for? more damage? on what exactly?

Protect over Curse if you want to stall really, you cant be hit until you die then(which is a long time) combine with leech seed and mean look for a better effect. Obviously that has to come from its teammates.

Evs should focus a bit more on Defense(even with its nature) because thats where its more prominent weakness is (ghost) so bias it a bit more towards physical(obviously dont give it max 252 though)

If these are bred IVs then they are ok, the only bad one is Sp.atk(which you dont need.) i have a small problem with the perfect speed IV as dusclops may want his subs up after they broke his last one on that turn. Maybe not though.

And what damage whould your pokemon do to others,you want them to boost up there stats to max and you only burned them.You should use night shade instead of Substitute.

Dusclops @ Leftovers
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Moves:
Will-O-Wisp
Pain Split
Shadow Ball
Night Shade / Siesmec Toss

 

[meteor64]

also i just relized curse would chop dusclops health in lf because it is a ghost, remember? Only mean look could help it there so the curse actually kills a foe rather than forcing a switch.

How about evolving it?
What s the rest of the team? so we cancheck the links to team.

 

[meteor64]

nonono.
this is THIRD GEN. no dusknoir >_> omg pplz leik READ the subforums name before you post in it.
the OP asked for help with one pokemon because either he likes the rest of his team too much too change it or they dont trust us. At the end of the day, its his team, not ours, he decides where he wants our guidance.

Shadow ball
Substitute
Rest

He needs an attacking move!

 

[meteor64]

err... its a Dusclops. Both of its Attacking stats are base 70, so i think it can get away without an attacking move.

Hey, have you got anything against 70 base attack?I agree that it isn't much.Shadow ball speeds up things with its ghost STAB.

 

[meteor64]

yeah, but it doesnt NEED it like you said before. Night Shade, Seismic Toss, Counter, Psych Up, Toxic, Swagger and Sleep talk are all possibilities.

Seismic Toss/Night Shade
Rest
Sleep Talk
Toxic .

A moveset without Shadow Ball.
Change Seismic Toss to Mean Look to have a Blissey counter if you want.
Or-
Mean Look
Counter
Pain Split/Rest
Will-o-Wisp

A CB counter.Shame it doesnt get Baton Pass

There are ways to win without Shadow Ball, so it doesn't need it. It doesn't stop shadow ball from being a decent move on Dusclops, but since Dusclops rarely invests in the EVs to make it more worthwile, it is sometimes better to just not give it direct damaging methods outside of ST/NS.
