I need a favor. Would this be a good move set for my Nidoking and Nidoqueen to have?

Nido King:
EQ/ground
Sludgebomb/poison
MegaHorn/bug
Thunderbolt/electric

Nidoqueen:
EQ/Ground
Sludgebomb/poison
Superpower/normal
Flamethrower/fire

I'm not really concerned with the stats and natures, so just make suggestions for the duo.
 
Superpower is fighting attack, not a normal one. You should insert Shadow Ball in the moveset so they can counter psychics easily, perhaps over Superpower? Rather then flamethrower, Ice Beam is a better choice to counter other Ground PoKémon. The Nidoking is fine.
 
Nidoqueen and Nidoking are basically the same Pokemon, so they basically have the same movesets. There are couple different movesets they can have:

Choice bander

Nidoking/queen @Choice Band
Adamant Nature
-Earthquake
-Sludge Bomb
-Rock Slide
-Megahorn/Superpower

SubPuncher

Nidoking/queen @Leftovers
Naughty Nature
-Substitute
-Focus Punch
-Ice Beam
-Thunderbolt

Mixed Sweeper

Nidoking/queen @Leftovers
Naughty Nature
-Earthquake
-Rock Slide/Sludge Bomb
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
 
aragornbird posted the same thing I would've =/

If you can't get Rock Slide on Nidoking then Shadow Ball works too...

EDIT: w00t new rank
 
yeh, i personally like CBking and subpunchqueen, but as stated they are like the same.
 
Not that I have a problem with the movesets that you all have give, Here is my reasoning for having what I had:

I have an all ground team, and I have been planning to do an all ground team for quite a while now. I was just asking for options since They all have a common weakness to Water and Ice (and some Grass). That's why I had some of the moves that I did. I'm also looking to use the STAB they each get from Sludgebomb to use against the grass types. EQ is pretty standard for a ground type. ThunderBolt and Flamethrower were each a counter for their weaknesses, but I will probably use ShadowBall instead somewhere.

Thanks.
 
Flamethrower? Flamethrower doesn't counter any of the weaknesses the Nidos have. And don't say Ice. Virtually every Ice type is also a Water type, so they'll only be taking neutral damage.
 
Suggestions

Nidoking: Nidoqueen:
Megahorn Helpinghand(for doubles)
Sludgebomb Icebeam
Earthquake Shadowball
Superpower? Thunderbolt

NK is more offensive so it should have stronger moves when NQ should cover weaknesses. If you have an all ground team, might I suggest Flygon or Steelix? I f you have an all ground team, you should probrably have more varieties of pokemon than just two of the same type like this all ground type team:
Camerupt
Steelix
Flygon
Golem/Rhydon/The Nidos
Claydol
Whiscash/Swampert

Then, most of its weaknesses will be covered. Grass covered by Camerupt and Steelix and the Nidos, Ice covered by Camerupt, Water covered by Whiscash and Swampert. And you still have a few extra whoppers left.
 
A CalmCune would do bad damage...

Flamethrower can counter a ground type weakness: GRASS. His team isall ground type ya know!!!

Wow you really know your types. NOT.

Poison is resistant to Grass. And guess what? Poison is also supereffective against Grass. Therefore, Sludge Bomb is stronger than Flamethrower due to STAB and will do more damage than Flamethrower.
 
Well, my entire team consists of Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Dugtrio, Golem, Marowak, and Steelix. The Nido's are powerful, Dugtrio is really fast, Golem has a bit of rock to help against flying types, Marowak I have my own secret plans for, and Steelix... I still need a moveset for...

And when I said ice, I ment ice type attacks. They still hurt too, no matter if there is water mixed in or not.

Yeah you might want to fix that Ice weakness.

Wow, that comment was totally helpful. =\

But seriously, why do you need both Nidoking AND queen? Like I said, they are basically the same Pokemon. Keep King, get rid of Queen. Your team desperately needs Quagsire. Not only is it not weak against Ice, it's also IMMUNE to Water.
 
At least I gave him that Steelix to help with Ice types.

@aragornbird: This is a Scramble team, so people (including myself) gave him random Pokemon, and he HAS to use them.
 
Well, since no one posted for Steelix:

Steelix @ Leftovers
Impish Nature
-Explosion
-Rock Slide
-Earthquake
-Toxic
 
Steelix doesn't need Explosion. You don't really want to blow up your physical wall. Rest > Explosion please.
 
Well, I'm using the scramble team until I beat the E4, then I will be doing with it as I see fit. Which includes using Other Pokemon. I'll just rotate King and Queen out as I see fit after the E4.

Does anyone have a better Idea for a Steelix moveset?
