"Sweeper phase"

S

Shock

<--- Teh kewl ghost!
First let me explain: The "sweeper phase" (as i called it) is when you teach pokemon only offensive moves. E.G.:

Meganium@Miracle seed
- Solarbeam
- Body slam
- Razor leaf
- Earthquake

or

Raichu@magnet
- Thunderpunch
- Thunderbolt
- Thunder
- Strength
My g/s/c Meganium and Raichu, which i first thought were good. But then i did this kind of things with all pokemon.

Please, have fun while discussing!
 
AKA, crappy movesets from when you were younger... although some of mine were "sweepers", eg:

Ledian
Double Edge
Giga Drain
Thunderpunch
*forth offensive move I can't remember*

Umbreon
Bite
Psychic
Fraint Attack
Iron Tail
 
"00001" the Feraligatr
Surf
Cut
Whirlpool
Hydro Pump

The ONLY Pokemon I used. <_<
 
Well, I guess to a kid, since the other attacks annoy them so much, their mind tells them they are evil and should not be used. Then, later, they realise better. I, for one, am going back to the sweeper phase. I have no idea why.
 
lol most ppl seem to get annoyed when other ppl only use attacking moves. but i think it's perfectly ok. well ingame. competive play will leave you with a beating in most cases. but ingame it works perfectly fine.

my Kelcleon has Faint Attack, Strenth, Ancient Power and Thunderbolt
 
My favourite Sneasel on Emerald is a sweeper...

Fai-Miroke/Sneasel @ Choice Band
Adamant Nature
- Return
- Shadow Ball
- Aerial Ace
- Brick Break

She's great fun to use... just like my Misdreavus on Silver...

Missy/Misdreavus @ Brightpowder
- Shadow Ball
- Psychic
- Return
- Zap Cannon

Man, I adored Zap Cannon. xD
 
I remember my RBY Vaporeon.

Surf
Bubblebeam
Hydro Pump
Blizzard

Hah, I was so dumb back then.
 
I used to that too, looking back I ask myself, how could I have been that stupid?
 
Lol, I remember my Typhlosion from my Silver:

Typhlosion@Charcoal
Fire Blast
Flamethrower
Flame Wheel
Fire Punch

I was so damn stupid back then...

~LL~
 
Its good to have at least one sweeper in a team, in my opinion, you know? Then have some other guy with rest, light screen and some offensive techs too.

I had a wigglytuff with high special attack...
Thunderbolt
Flamethrower
Ice Beam
Rest

Thunderbolt is better than thunder imo since it hits more often with only a bit less dammage...thats why I used ice beam, thunderbolt, flamethrower instead of fire blast, thunder, blizzard...
 
I still teach my Pokémon offensive moves in 95% or so, mainly because every opponent you face has no strategy whatsoever and will only do the same to you. So I guess I´m not out of my Sweeper phase yet. Le shitz.
 
*remembers* I have a Weezing on Blue... think he had a moveset like Thunderbolt, Explosion, Fire Blast and a move I can't remember. Never used him either. xD

My Red Vaporeon was just like that, except it knew Ice Beam instead of Bubble Beam. ^^; I was so stupid back then.
 
I tend to give my Pokemon offensive moves of various types, with one or two healing, evasive, or status-inducing moves. I really don't have much of a strategy or plan to my team, I just pick and choose as I go along, and use what works best.
 
Primeape:
Strength
Cross Chop
Ice Punch
Thunder

Ledian:
Ice Punch
Fire Punch
Thunderpunch
Dynamicpunch

Ah, the good ole days. :D
 
I had a look at my brother's friend's Emerald (this kid is only 7) and his Blaziken had Rock Smash, Dynamicpunch, Cut and Strength.
