Modest 252 Sp.Atk/252 Spe/ 4 HP

Seed Flare

Hidden Power Ice
Hyper Beam

Hyper beam is there due to lack of a better move.

 

[Star Dust]

Rest would be better for fast healing. Natural Cure.

1.Fire Blast is stronger than Air Slash, even against fighting pokemon.

No it's not, against fighters.

Anyway, Dragon Pulse+Flamethrower hits not-Heatran for neutral damage. Focus Blast is for Heatran.

Air Slash is STAB, but HP Grass can go over it.

Could you explain those a little better?

Green's attitude is starting to get on my nerves.

Um.......Those are bad Zard sets.

Zard @ Choice Specs
EVs: 252 Speed/ 252 SpAtk/ 4 Hp
Nature: Timid
Attacks:
-Flamethrower
-Air Slash
-Dragon Pulse
-Focus Blast / HP [Fighting]

I don't at all appreciate the attitude of this board.

1.Fire Blast is stronger than Air Slash, even against fighting pokemon.

2.Dragon Pulse is pointless except against Garchomp and Salamence.

3.Focus Blast is too innacurate without wide lens.

4.HP fighting is not the least bit reasonable on anything but Shoddy.

5.Calling a set "bad" or any synonym of which without an explanation why is just asking for trouble.

1. Air Slash (STAB) - 75 x 1.5 = 112
then, for Super Effective damage on something like Machamp; 112 x 2 = 224.

Fire Blast (STAB) - 120 x 1.5 = 180.

So basically, what this is showing, is that you are wrong.

2. Saying that is like saying Stone Edge is pointless on Fighting Types except for Flying types that otherwise get a free switch on them.
hmmmmmmmmm.

3. Specs Charizard is a hit-and-run Pokémon, so you can sacrifice accuracy for more power. Wide Lens is a poor choice on Charizard.

4. Hidden Power is definitely plausible, as many do it, and with the right mindset, and a handful of patience, certainly do-able.

5. Getting your facts wrong and acting strangely arrogant when you still come out underneath is also something one should avoid doing.

Ok, they are bad sets because you waste 2 moveslots to set-up SunnyBeam, which sucks in competitive.

1. Fire Blast should not be used, since Zard has frail defenses and will be OHKOed
2. Dragon Pulsehits every type [excluding Steel/Dragon] for Neutral damage. It is a good attacking type to begin with
3. Ok, that is why I suggested Hp [Fighting], but you can use HP [Grass/Electric] over Air Slash and put in Focus Blast/Focus Punch
4. Um, if you breed you can get it. Hp [Fight] is probably the easiest to get imo. I forgot the exact code, but the IVs need to end in odd numbers. That is easy to do. 1,3,5,7,9 in 6 stats, easy.
5. I just gave an explanation, sry for not giving one to begin with.

The first point is wrong. Fire Blast is the better of moves, and you should only use Flamethrower if you're anal about PP - though Charizard will never last long enough to use all it's 8 PP on Fire Blast.
And I don't understand the second point ?_?

1.Fire Blast won't miss. I don't see how you can dismiss Fire Blast but accept Focus Blast(without wide lens) with open arms.

2,Fire Blast is much stronger, and the things it isn't stronger against are what Solarbeam and Focus Blast are for.

4.No, HP is unreasonable. No.

5.Calling peoples movesets bad in the first place is very rude, let alone without an explanation.

ONE, TWO, FOUR, FIVE!
ONE, TWO, FOUR, FIVE!

Leech Seed over HP Fire, and HP Fire as an option in the 3rd slot.
Synthesis as an option over Rest.

go away then

1. go back to maths class

2. Coverage mah boi

3. no it isn't

4. learn to breed

5. no u

5.Calling peoples movesets bad in the first place is very rude, let alone without an explanation.

1. the things that actually need focus blast don't have a more reliable move, i.e. gengar.

2. solarbeam sucks

3. nvm you can't count

4. hidden power is not unreasonable, just learn to breed or trade with someone.

5. internet mah boi

[magnemiteZ]

HP Electric is better than Ice.

[DieChavsDie]

Hi

I have 2 Shiny Calm Vulpix, one of which I want to EV train and use Ingame (I like to have good reserves incase I can competitively battle)

Their IVs are

HP: 2
Att: 2
Def: 16
SpAtt: 28
SpDef: 16
Spd: 10

HP Fighting 36

and

HP: 20
Att: 18
Def: 29
SpAtt: 9
SpDef: 4
Spd: 16

HP Rock 31

I take it the first is better. My main problem comes to movesets and EVs. Calm is a good nature for Vulpix, so I am not worried that the best is Timid, but the moveset is causing problems. Hypnosis and Energy Ball are both out of the question, being Egg Moves, and me wanting to use my shinies.

My only idea was

Ninetales @ Leftovers
Calm (Obviously)

Nasty Plot
Flamethrower
Extrasensory
Overheat

Overheat is there as I do not have the Dark Pulse TM (Its only other Special move), and it SORT of fits with Nasty Plot (Nasty Plot up a couple of times, hit with a super charged Overheat, and not suffer for it)

Is there any other moveset that would better suit it (my style is to be more offensive, espcially with a pokemon like Ninetales, who is not very defensively strong)

 

[Hauntershadow92]

The first point is wrong. Fire Blast is the better of moves, and you should only use Flamethrower if you're anal about PP - though Charizard will never last long enough to use all it's 8 PP on Fire Blast.
And I don't understand the second point ?_?

Ok. i see how Fire Blast is better. i always thought Zard is too frail, but I should really know it is not THAT frail. My second point is that Dragon Pulse is a good attacking type since it is only resisted by Steel and hits Dragon SE while hitting everything else for neutral damage. I guess I didn't make my point clear enough.

 

[Evil_Lathander]

This is the set I used in Emerald, wondering what improvements D/P brings:

By the way, didn't really look into nature and don't know the EV's anymore...

Blaziken @Charcoal
*Rock Slide
*Flamethrower
*Bulk Up
*Sky Uppercut

Quiet Nature

 

[aipomkong]

P.S: is it alowed to use the attacks Hyper Beam, Giga Impact. etc in competitive battling??

why would two of the worst moves in the game be banned?

Hypnosis and Energy Ball are both out of the question, being Egg Moves, and me wanting to use my shinies.

energy ball is a tm that ninetales can learn
