Ive been wanting to say this for like, 10 minutes after i figured it out

[Silver Dragonair]

I dont know if this goes in moveset/strategies. Pokemon general. Or if it will get locked. But there is all this talk about how slaking is deadly with skill swap. But no one ever mentioned. How that, after you skill swap traunt on to your other pokemon. That on the next turn or when traunt is done. That you can skill swap traunt on to your opponent. How come no one mentioned that???

I learend this from a guy, that had hands on experience with Norman. (no not like that)

 

[Blazyn]

word.

your right..
i dont really like messing with slaking...
my biggest pet peeve is battling snorlax
hes a pain to take down sumtimes.

 

[ditto_luva]

Right. What happens is that your Pokes can`t move while Slaking can. Plus Slaking can learn Really powerful moves.

"How to turn Slaking into an Uber"
Teach it Skill Swap!
The only reason Slaking isn't Uber is the fact that it has Traunt. So, Slaking+Skill Swap-Traunt=UBERNESS!!!!

 

[Ben Kenobi]

Slaking can't learn Skill Swap so it is really only useful in double battles.

 

[Charry]

Ok....so what? Slaking is a *****.

 

[WhiteWizard42]

also, slaking can't learn skill swap. this only works in double battles, having your other pokemon use SS on slaking, and then either switching out the pokemon that now has truant, or swapping it onto an opposing pokemon.

 

[PkmnTrainerJ]

As mentioned Slaking itself can't Skill Swap, so you'll have to have to be in a double battle to do it.

Evice uses his Slowking in Colosseum to do it, the first use I saw of it.

 

[ditto_luva]

Slaking+SS+Double battle agianst friends+SS again on opponent=Good for you and bad for the Opponent.

 

[~Austin~]

That's a pretty deadly combination if you ask me XD. So.... you're saying that Slaking can't learn SS through the TM? That stinks .

im happy i got rid of slaking before he got slowking out.
that is pretty good... i have to try that!

 

[WhiteWizard42]

best skill-swapper, IMO, is claydol. levitate is pretty kick-*** on slaking.

 

[Golden_Latias]

If only Medicham could learn Skill Swap. . . imagine Pure Power on Slaking.

Probably the best you can go is Skill Swapping Natural Cure or Pressure on Slaking.

WHOA !!!!!

thats scary...you could always shark it...

*gets sneaky idea*

I know of a legal way to do it

PLayer one sends out Dusclops and Medicham

Dusclops uses Skill Swap on Medicham.

Dusclops obtains pure power.. Medicham uses fake out on the more obvious opponent. Dusclops now switches pure power with slaking... HA!

 

[Wild Cherry]

If anyones played Pokemon Colluseum I think @ the end you verse the head of Cipher and he has a Slowking or Slaking with skillswap and it turns his Slaking into an exceptianly strong pokemon to beat.

 

[cecil]

Well it takes some time and might be trouble if Slaking is on the same level with enemy's pokemon. In frontiers double battle, it might be risky, though that we're at the same level and you know, the trainers there are fierce. Be careful when handling fighting pokemon also.

 

[Volteon]

In emerald Norman does this at his re-battles with Blissey and Slaking.

I see this is a master combination, but... I didn´t think necessary to open a thread.

Dusclops obtains pure power.. Medicham uses fake out on the more obvious opponent. Dusclops now switches pure power with slaking... HA!

Pupe Power when Role Played, Traced or Skill swaped just gives the Pokémon x1.5 attack, not x2 like in Medichan. Just to mention.... ah, the same happens with Huge Power.

 

[Tony~Jirachi]

What about Shedinja's ability (don't rembmer it) on a two on two battle have your pokemon use skill swap on your opponent's shedinja, then skill swap on to your slaking

 

[PkmnBreederLuke]

There's a double battle in Victory Road that uses a Gardevoir and a Slaking. The Gardevoir uses Skill Swap.

First time I played through it was so annoying.
Second time I played through it was easy, I disposed of both pokemon with ease.

Now imagine if Shedinja learned skill swap and then used it in a double battle with Slaking. Ouchies.

 

[Volteon]

Wonder Guard can´t be Swaped or Role played, just Traced.
