a swords dance, baton pass mew should be able to eat volbeat's lunch with nitro charge. erufuun's as well. even if you don't get to pass a swords dance passing +1, hopefully +2 speed, to lucario (justice heart!)/gyarados/dragon of your choice is no laughing matter.

mew adamant/jolly (4hp/252att/252spe) life orb -baton pass -swords dance -nitro charge -dragon claw no STAB but great coverage and great boosts to BP along. how much would +2 LO nitro charge do to an opposing scizor switch in?

put me in the minority that thinks that analyze on starmie is going to be seriously nasty. i know natural cure is hot but analyze could turn starmie a pokemon you would WANT to switch into twave since the loss of speed only means an increase in SpA power. plus as already mentioned, if it works...

what about trick room, gravity & telepathy? EQ spam FTW.

i understand. i guess i am just used to playing with an item clause so i hadn't considered any other way.

only after it has poisoned the trickster. provided he survives long enough and that you cannot correctly predict when that second trick is coming and bring toxicroak (or anyone else immune) back in on it. i just think the damage from the toxic orb to the trickster is more advantageous than...

one minor thing about toxicroak - use black sludge not leftovers, it is less likely to help your opponent on a trick. toxicroak's real forte is double and (presumably) triple battles in any case. i once tried to make a sucker punch/focus punch build but the prediction required to make it work...

+2 priority extremespeed kills any hope of reversal hitmonlee, whether it packs a priority move or not, of being very highly played. but maybe there won't be much ES wherever hitmonlee ends up, then it might work.

consider this: prior to this didn't you assume that any pokemon faced that COULD run explosion DID run explosion? didn't you always keep a ghost or protect guy around 'just in case'? with the new situation explosion is going to be quite a bit rarer but for those who DO still pack it (yes, you...

i also wanted to add that i am happy to learn this now. it definitely resolves the 'explosion vs hydro pump' conundrum i was having with the cloyster i want to build.

GF probably had more than one eye on triple battles and the effect of explosion there and with in mind, i can't say i blame them.

Lucario & Pachirisu can get it as an eggmove. Only notable because each has an interesting DW ability (Justice Heart & Volt Absorb respectively). The loss of skill link might be worth it for Cloyster simply because of the overwhelming power of rock blast/icicle spear. who knows, it might...

i am glad someone started a thread on this because i have been making a list of what i can get a jump start on. first off is skarmory only with the sturdy ability instead of keen eye. you know the move sets and skarmory doesn't need to change much but sturdy is a far sight more useful now...

you might not have noticed but kingdra now has access to a dark special attack edit - nvm, i misread the serebii pokedex. this is a thread about dusclops anyhow

let me verify first EDIT: Even in the pre-4th gen games Duskull could learn Pain Split as an Egg Move so that is covered. Here is proof that he can learn Seismic Toss from the Emerald Tutor. http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-rs/356.shtml
