Considering a moveset for Nyorotono. ;186;
I've come up with two ideas, and was looking for some feedback. I'm going with the ability Drizzle. And what would be the best held item? Leftovers?
1)
Dive
Ice Punch
Belly Drum
Double Team/Toxic
It doesn't seem like Nyorotono has bad defensive stats, but they aren't some of the best either. Belly Drum gives me massive Attack power, but put the Pokemon's health at risk. Double Team raises evasiveness, but takes time to build up. Toxic could play off of Dive's taking two turns to attack, draining the opponents health during the turn where Nyorotono is basically invulnerable. I considered Waterfall, but given Nyorotono's low Speed, it didn't seem as worth it since I can't take advantage of the flinch factor as often (though Dive would give the opponent more time to plan, which isn't good).
2)
Scald
Ice Beam
Double Team
Toxic?
Nyorotono's Special Attack base is somewhat better than its Attack, so using Special Attack moves naturally seems more preferable, and I avoid the vulnerability that Belly Drum gives. Scald is a little weaker than Surf, but gives me the chance to burn the opponent. If that fails, maybe Toxic would be good?
