Slaking moveset

[wilesthegreat]

Would this work?

I dont know if this has the effect i want but here it goes

Slaking@Leftovers
Adamant
Safeguard
Hyperbeam
Rest
?

 

[Sniper123]

Use this
Slaking@Choice Band
Adamant
Shadow Ball
Focus Punch
Return
Earthquake

Hyper Beam sucks because you can't switch afterward.

Don't post twice.

 

[wilesthegreat]

o sorry

but what i meant was focused on safeguard
does it stop the sftershocks of his moves?
What about his ability?

 

[Marauder Artemis]

safeguard blocks status effects, not anything else (meaning it blocks paralysis/burn/freeze/sleep/poison)

 

[JustinConnor]

Slaking@Choice Band
Adamant
252 Attack/252 Speed/6 HP
Return/Double Edge
Earthquake
Shadow Ball
Fury Swipes(breaks most subs)/Focus Punch(for tricky pokemon that resist the other 3 moves)

Only use Fury Swipes with Magneton.Return is a better choice than Double Edge IMO.
Hyper Beam isn't used because it only works in a handful of situations,and doesn't let you switch out afterwards.

Safeguard only prevents conditions such as burn,poison,para,etc. It won't stop pokemon effects from working or recoil/recharging of pokemon moves.

 

[Suica]

Slaking only needs 270 Spd.

 

[squirtleboy12]

magneton is strong against fury swipes so no

slaking
adament
substitude
focus punch
earthquake
shadow ball

 

[JustinConnor]

Yeah but 299 speed out speeds 270 slakings XP

Don't use Fury Swipes on Magneton, use Magneton on a team running Fury Swipes Slaking. I'd add a duh here.

 

[Marauder Artemis]

subpunch slaking made me lol hard

 

[brawleyboy]

hyper beam kills everything trust me a used a slaking

 

[Marauder Artemis]

er too bad it has a recharge turn where the opponent can sub/hit you for some damage kthx

 

[JustinConnor]

Very few things that Hyper Beam kills that Return/Double-Edge cant. And being able to swap slaking out is the most important thing about the big monkey.

 

[Expert Socky]

Here's what mine knows, I think it's pretty good

Slaking
Yawn
Focus Punch
Shadowball
Slack Off

 

[JustinConnor]

Too many cooks spoil the monkey stew.

 

[Marauder Artemis]

no STAB, yawn and slack off makes for a poor slaking

 

[Crypted Wolf]

just use CB Slaking ffs.

 

[[Kingdra]]

Ok, here's what happens

Slaking@Choice Band
~Return
~Shadow Ball
~Earthquake
~Aerial Ace

Strategy: Hit them and then switch...Easy enough.

HINT: You might want to switch to a wall.

 

[JustinConnor]

Aerial Ace is a wasted space. STABed Return does more damage.

And just one commonly used OU pokemon has a 4x weakness to flying that I can think of.Better off using the last slot for something that hits a lot rather than a little.

 

[[Kingdra]]

AA Hits it's weakness and with CB it's stronger just hit and run.

 

[JustinConnor]

Aerial Ace's power is 120 when super effect.
Return's power, on a Slaking, is 153.


The only time Aerial Ace would be better is vs Heracross or Breloom,'Loom isn't too common and Slaking should flee from Hera anyway(you wanna keep that monkey healthy).

Focus Punch helps it deal with Skarm and Fury Swipes breaks lotsa subs and deals damage.
So,I repeat:

"Slaking@Choice Band
Adamant
252 Attack/252 Speed/6 HP
Return/Double Edge
Earthquake
Shadow Ball
Fury Swipes(breaks most subs)/Focus Punch(for tricky pokemon that resist the other 3 moves)"

299 speed beats flygons and wacky heras and stuff,so I prefer it over 270 =D


Edit:Ha I won! XD
