Odd Pogies with odd movesets.

[Dragoon]

Primarily gonna be used in game, plus the odd battle with friends, though I may make a netbatle equivilent with specific EVs and natures. These guys currently span two carts, but I want to consolidate them to my emerald.

Captain
Male Girafarig @ Leftovers
Early Bird
Modest
EVs: Lots of SA, some Speed, a bit of Defence (I went slaughtering Zubats and spindas for 11 levels, most of them on spindas, along with giving him the defense boosting vitamin)
- Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Baton Pass
- Agility/Thunderbolt/Something Else

Calm-Mind passer with enough SA to do damage with Psychic. Agility is another thing that can be BPed, Thunderbolt gives a bit more offensive options, or something else could work.

-The Rest of these guys have no EV training at all-

Thing
Male Breloom @ filler item
Effect Spore
Docile (Bad nature I know, but I've already put 40 levels into the little thing, don't want to retrain one)
- Mach Punch
- Brick Break
- Stun Spore
- Leech Seed

Poor moveset, not sure what to use, don't want to spore punch though.

Acid
Female Swalot @ dunno, Miracle Seed maybe?
Liquid Ooze
Quirky (See Thing, but 'only' 34 levels)
- Sunny Day
- Solar Beam
- Sludge (To be Sludge Bomb)
- Yawn

Yes, a sunny beaming swalot. She works pretty well, but will defenitely benefit from calm mind passing. Not sure if I should change yawn to something else though. I do want to keep her a sunny beamer.

Hatcher
Female Magcargo
Magma Armor
Bold
- Flamethrower
- Amnesia
- Rock Throw
- Harden

No clue what do do here, but I love Magcargo. Flamethrower is the only real move in there. Named her hatcher for the hatch-time reduction.

Ann
Nidoqueen @ Nothing ATM
Poison Point
Relaxed
- Sludge Bomb
- Earthquake
- Brick Break
- Roar

Generic physical moveset, with Roar for Phazing.

Iceflight
Articuno
Pressure
Adamant
- Fly (Will dump for sheer cold when she gets high enough in level)
- Aerial Ace
- Mind Reader
- Ice Beam

Ace/Beam for STABy goodness, and eventaully Mindreader/Cold combo, nothin' special here, but a decent use for one of the prettiest pogies ever. ^^

Don't tell me my choices for pokes sucks, I know they do, but I want to put them to best use possible.

 

[PatTar]

Breloom@Lefties
Adamant Nature
Trait: Effect Spore
-Swords Dance/Bulk Up

Mind Reader
Sheer Cold
Ice beam
Rest

 

[Dragoon]

Yeah, Bigd, those movesets are just bad.

EQ on Modest Girafarig, with no baton pass OR Calm Mind?

The Breloom is meh

Swalot - I said she was my sunny-beamer, there is no sunny or beam there

Magcargo - Bleh, nothing will save one of these from a surf, so no need for amnesia, already have used my sunnydays, and does it even learn yawn?

Queen - Superpower sucks, Crunch is OK but doesn't cover anything EQ and Bomb don't

---

To everyone else - What else can 'Cuno do other than mind-cold? Particularly with the nature I have? Also, for Breloom, I missed the chance to give sky-uppercut via level, is there any other good move?

 

[snorlax]

lol at sunny beaming on anything but Exeggutor or Shiftry

then again

lol

at

sunnybeaming

 

[Frost Nova]

On that point, sir / madam?

Focus Punch is another move you could use on Breloom. Works well with Spore. Here's the Sporepunching set:

Breloom@lefties
Adamant Nature
- Spore
- Focus Punch
- Sludge Bomb
- Mach Punch

Adamant is really, really bad on Articuno. It does much better with Bold / Calm nature. The main purpose of Articuno is to tank and waste PP with Pressure.

Articuno@lefties (Sleep Talker)
Bold Nature
- Ice Beam
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- filler

Or, it could waste PP with this:

Articuno@lefties
Bold Nature
- Ice Beam
- Rest
- Protect / Sleep Talk
- Substitute

 

[Neo]

Well, I had a set for Magcargo that seemed to work pretty well in the BF. Obviously I wouldn't keep it in against a Water Poke, cos that would be stupid.

Magcargo@Leftovers
Relaxed/Quiet nature
~Yawn
~Protect
~Flamethrower
~Rock Slide

Pretty simple really. Yawn on first go, Protect second. Usually in-game doesn't switch, so Yawn isn't the best PHazing move out there. Then either switch to a sweeper for the opponent, or try and sweep with the moves you have.

 

[Akayfortyseven]

If you want a sunny beaming swalot (>_>), then use this;

Sunny day
Solar beam
Fire blast/Flamethrower
Sludge bomb/Yawn/Explosion

FB/FT gets a sunny day boost as well.

 

[snorlax]

that is a terrible Breloom set

Breloom@Leftovers
Impish Nature
- Spore
- Focus Punch
- Leech Seed
- Substitute

 

[Dragoon]

Snorlax, read comments, I know the Breloom set sucks. Yours in not much better, because substitute is about useless on Breloom with the lack of HP it has, and redundant with Spore, if a random insomia poke switches in it will destroy the sub anyways, or be immune to focus punch. Some of these movesets are bad because I'm a lazy *** (I have more enjoyable things I could be doing than leveling a shroomish to L54), and I've used some one-of TMs already.

So far I like Akayfourtseven's Swalot (love that username ^^), Neo's Magcargo, and Frostnova's Sleeptalk 'cuno (using Arial Ace in the filler slot).

Edit: Swalot can't learn Flamethrower/Fireblast ;.;

Edit Version 2.0: Still realy could use recomendations for the last slot on the Girafarig.
