Need Alakazam Moveset (Sapphire)

[Xoth]

Here's what I've been thinking:

;065; Alakazam @Leftovers
-Calm Mind
-Ice Punch
-Psychic
- Not Sure what to put here (depends on if the Abra/Kadabra/'Kazam I gets a good Hidden Power or not)

What would you reccomend? I need to be able to get it with only Sapphire... and hopefully not too much breeding.

 

[Tazzler]

Fire Punch, Thunderpunch, Encore,and Recover as options.

 

[WhiteWizard42]

if you choose recover, you'll most likely want to replace ice punch with one of the other punches. if you don't, you have a problem with steel-types.

 

[Xoth]

Ok, so I could run

;065; Alakazam @Leftovers
-Calm Mind
-Ice Punch
-Psychic
-Fire Punch (for the steel types)

OR

;065; Alakazam @Leftovers
-Calm Mind
-Fire Punch
-Psychic
-Recover

What do you all think, #1 or #2?

 

[SwordofAeons]

#2,
qazwxed

 

[ALTOCHARIZARD55]

neither, use the 3 eps ind psychic, but #1 is better

 

[SwordofAeons]

ummmmm... no

 

[Xoth]

I'm not too savvy on terms, but what does he mean by eps?

 

[ALTOCHARIZARD55]

elemental punches fire, ice, thunder
but#1 is more effective

 

[Xoth]

Alright, well I posted the movesets on the Nintendo NSider Pokemon forums, and I'm getting responses there as well... I'm going to have to make my choice soon, in about 15 minutes, so any more input from other people would be appreciated.

[Xoth]

I chose moveset #2... More good responses from it.

 

[Deucalion]

Fire Punch, Recover, Calm Mind, Psychic

Max out Calm Mind, then use Psychic repeatedly. Recover can be used to get you out of tricky situations, and Fire Punch will deal with pesky Bugs

 

[SwordofAeons]

No.
Gengar-Watever
Timid/Modest
Fire Punch
Ice Punch
Thunderbolt
Will-o-Wisp/Giga Drain

Is the standard i believe.

The E-Punches are fat. Only use one, or Reflect. Fire and Thunder Punch most prefered if you don't use Reflect.
