Offensive Ninetales

[Alfonc]

I'm going to use an Offensive Ninetales.


This is what i'm going for:


Ninetales@Lum Berry
Timid/Modest nature
Ev's 252 Sp.Attack/Speed,6 HP

Hypnosis
Flamethrower
Faint Attack
Confuse Ray/Substitute/Hidden Power:Grass/Ice


Hidden Power:Grass/Ice is only an option if I get lucky.

Which Nature is better for an Offensive Ninetales:
Timid or Modest?

 

[9voltdude]

I think modest might be the best nature for that set

 

[snorlax]

for what you want.

Ninetales@Leftovers
Modest Nature
~ Hidden Power [Grass]
~ Substitute
~ Flamethrower/Fire Blast
~ Hypnosis

i guess

 

[magnemiteZ]

How comes people these days are creating loads of little threads, one for each Pokemon, instead of having one thread with their whole team on?

Good luck getting a decent HP though.

 

[aipomkong]

If you want an offencive Ninetales, use Houndoom

 

[magnemiteZ]

That is lol. But true.

Use HP Grass if you can get it.

Hidden Power:Grass/Ice is only an option if I get lucky.

Well, if you wanted an offensive Ninetales, I'd go with Modest seeing how it gives you more Sp.At. but in my opinion, Ninetales is more of a special wall if you put it's ev's were you need to.

 

[magnemiteZ]

Ninetales is defenitely not a special wall. It takes 2 or 3 special hits, but not much more. Regice and Blissey are Special Walls/Sponges.

Ninetales@Leftovers
Modest Nature
~ Hidden Power [Grass] (If you can)
~ Substitute
~ Flamethrower/Fire Blast
~ Hypnosis/W-o-W

Thats really your best shot.

[snorlax]

thinking back on what nooblet said

ditch nintales

Houndoom@Leftovers
Timid Nature
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Flamethrower/Fire Blast
- Crunch
- Uhhhh

off of the top of my head a 4th ingame move for houndoom doesnt come to mind

i want to say pursuit/beat up but that isnt ingame

 

[ZNtelle]

Try Sub and Will-O-Wisp. A good HP [Grass] will be really hard to get anyways.

 

[magnemiteZ]

You could also use Sub+Sunny Day.
But I said COULD no do.

imo, a Fire Type isn't needed anyway. Just get a Pokemon with a Fire Move.

 

[ZNtelle]

Yep, a lot of Pokemon can learn Fire-type moves as well, so just pick up a Blaziken or something.

 

[magnemiteZ]

Blaziken is great cos it has an awesome Physical side, and it has the Stab on FB.
It is basically a counter for Skarm/Bliss.
