Intimidate
-Pursuit
-Stone Edge/Return
-Zen Headbutt
-Earthquake/Return

Intimidate to force switches and hit them with pursuit. Zen Headbutt to cover fighting weakness. Stone Edge and Earthquake to take advantage of his attack. Return for STAB although I dont know if Stone Edge or Earthquake would be better. What do you think?

i think posting standard sets with the only change being having an essential move as an option over another move is just brilliant.

i didnt even know tauros had a standard set. i didnt think anyone even used it. i looked on serebii and just picked moves that i thought would be best for him. i didnt copy anything like you are implying. my brother found a wild tauros and i thought it would be cool to train one up. i checked his stats and movesets and picked the moves i thought would suit him best. jeez. those are really the only good moves tauros has. a lot of his movepool is special. you sir are out of control and need to calm down.

Out of control? Not really. Sarcastic? Maybe.

You didn't know that moveset combination was standard, and that's fine.

If you're using Choice Band, use a jolly nature. Have Return somewhere. Or... Giga Impact (not as an opening move obviously, just use as a finishing move or towards the end of your battle).

150 base power + STAB + Choice Band = A lot of pain.

But, yeah. You've got the basic idea. If you like using Tauros' intimidate, you could take that a step further and make an Intimidate team. Just a thought.

I prefer Return (or Double-Edge if it comes from Adv) over Zen Headbuut, then keep Quake/SE/Pursuit.

Maybe Zen Headbutt can go over Pursuit and Giga Impact seems weird but can work, tough not really a good option, since DE already does plenty damage.

Both have their perks: More power and skip a turn, or slightly less power and recoil. I only suggested Giga Impact because it works just like Porygon-Z's Hyper Beam would. Used late game as a finishing move, or simply as a goodbye present. Gets STAB and is powered up by a choice item.

Either works fine.
