Technition-top?

[1 w1nged @ngel]

What is a good moveset for a technition hitmontop? I was thinking-

Hitmontop@Life orb
Adamant
Triple kick
Stone edge
Close combat
???

 

[aquasuicune]

He does quite well as a tyranitar counter if you go with this moveset:
Hitmontop@choice band
Adamant (Technician)
Mach Punch
Close Combat
Stone Edge
Earthquake

Technician+choice band makes mach punch hit pretty hard, and it's a guaranteed OHKO on tyranitar.

What is the boost for technition on the weakest move? I was thinking triple kick because it can hit through subs and since it is weak, it would get a significant boost.

 

[Skull-Kid]

u could give it bulk up as its last move.

Does anyone know the base damage for all the kicks on triple kick?

 

[Ekul the Sarcastic]

First kick is 10.

Second kick is 20.

Third kick is 30.

 

[Raito]

Rapid Spin needs to be over EQ, because most Elecs don't like switching into Stab Close Combats. And Zapdos doesn't like Stone Edges.

 

[1 w1nged @ngel]

How strong would Triple kick be after technition and stab?

 

[Atoyont]

Weaker than Close Combat.
Or Hi Jump Kick, for that matter.

22.5, 45, and 67.5
120 total.

 

[Raito]

And gettting the last kick is fairly hard, so expect 68 base damage.

Thats 135, not 120 btw.

So then a good moveset would be-

Hitmontop@Choice band
Adamant
Triple kick\mach punch
Close combat
Rapid spin
Stone edge?

 

[~-Overheat-~]

Hitmontop@Choice Band
Adamant

Rapid Spin
Mach Punch
Pursuit
Stone Edge/Triple Kick/Rolling Kick/Revenge/Close Combat

I like rapid spin/pursuit/mach punch/triple kick. What would be the ev spread for that set?

 

[Lord_Sunday]

dont double up on the fighting attacks its a waste of a moveslot.

 

[1 w1nged @ngel]

Okay then stone edge over mach punch? What would the ev's be like?

 

[Frost Nova]

252 HP / 68 Atk / 188 Def, Impish Nature. 188 Def EVs give it 300 max Def, and it needs all the health it can get.

 

[Raito]

Mach Punch / CC or HJK / Stone Edge / Rapid Spin @ CB is the standard set for a reason.

Close Combat always hits harder than Triple Kick, and HJK does too. Mach Punch lets you ko TTar and EndRev / Focus Sashers.
