Minor nitpick. Ground-types don't resist Fire Blast. Only Water and Rock-types are. They all get hit by super effective Solarbeam nonetheless.

How useful is a pure defensive set with Azumarill? Sure, Huge Power Aqua Jet and Belly Drum seem too good to pass up, but on second notice, it has quite the amount of support moves in it's movepool. Some notes: Advantages: - Sap Sipper makes a weakness an immunity. The attack boost is kinda...

Try a Coil set. Haven't checked the discussion of this thread thoroughly enough, but from inspection it is hella good. You can dump max investment in HP and SP. DEF, with Coil boosting your Defense. Then you can proceed to use Earthquake for a good stab, Dragon Tail for a good phazing move, and...

As Ampharos itself is not Dragon-type, it (unfortunately) cannot learn Draco Meteor in X and Y.

Heal Bell is a tutor move from Black 2 and White 2. Once the PokeBank gets going, you will be able to get a Heal Bell Ampharos there and transfer it to X and Y.

I thought of something, but I'm not sure if this could work out or not... Toxicroak w/ Dry Skin Relaxed. 252 HP, 252 DEF, 4 ATK Item: Sitrus Berry Toxic Protect Belch Drain Punch Works best in rain stall teams, and can serve as a decent physical wall, as Toxicroak has decent defensive typing...

I was just unlucky with the first few eggs, and got Torrent like 5 times in a row. I posted here, and lo behold, I was doing it right after all, and the Smogon gods gave me a Protean baby. :3 Thanks, everyone!

Stats are somewhat of a letdown, so I find that a Swords Dance/Wallbreaker set could be used in the lower tiers, and succeed at that. In OU, the only real saving grace it has is being the Psychic and Ghost killer that it should ONLY be using, but it still requires lots of support. I'm training...

Awesome, thanks you guys! :)

I'm trying to get a Protean Froakie with Toxic Spikes, but I can't seem to wrap my head around obtaining it... I have a male Omanyte with Toxic Spikes, and a Female Froakie with the Protean ability. I do know, however, that breeding these two will only get me an offspring Froakie with the...

Updated egg moves and potential movesets with new information discussed. I really feel Drapion has a nifty niche in the OU metagame as a nice Ghost-killer. But it requires lots of support, especially the Assault Vest set. Without recovery, you'll be relying on Vaporeon, Blissey etc.. for Wish...

I like it. I wonder if Knock Off is viable over Crunch to support the team better. Although I'm not sure if you are going to lose some 2HKOs by doing this... Also, this thing REALLY needs SR, Spikes AND Wish support to net some 2HKOs and OHKOs.... Now by the looks of it, it's REALLY tough to...

Without Knock Off (don't give him ideas!!), Drapion is a LOT easier to counter. The main problem about Drapion is that he has no recovery, and with Scope Lens as his held item over Black Sludge, it's pretty easy to wear down. First thing that comes to mind are obviously Ground-types. Krookodile...

How viable is the 5th gen NU set Amphy had in this generation? Ampharos (@Ampharosite) Static -> Mold Breaker - Thunderbolt - Focus (Miss) - Dragon Pulse - Volt Switch Modest. 252SPA (Other EVs not sure, probably something to optimize HP and SPD stats....) I mean, it gets a lot more...

I'm still trying to tear if Infestation is viable or not, but with lotsa support, it seems good. Again move 4 HP EVs into something else. If you are using T-spikes, especially in UU with the lack of Poison types, you might be able to afford to replace Toxic for Taunt.

I'm pretty sure Knock Off cannot remove a Megastone from the opponent. Someone can help me confirm this. Also, move 4 HP EVs to another stat, so your HP is not divisible by four, leaving you one less turn to switch in on SR/Spikes. I'd say 248 HP, 124 ATK, 128 SP DEF (care to explain why?) and 8...

Looks good! I wonder if you had notable success with that set. Seems good on paper, but I wonder if you can move some Sp. Def over to Attack to be more of an offensive presence, while maintaining its walling capabilities? Also, Wish support seems mandatory on something without recovery.

I wonder if Assault Vest would work with the all-attacker set/trapper. Sure, you won't be hitting very hard with Base 90 Attack, but with Knock Off and Pursuit, alongside great resistances to many common special attacks, it seems like a very suitable pivot, wall and utility all in one. One main...

Eh. If he gets the chance to beat off Psychics and Ghosts in the higher tiers, he might still have a shot. And I apologize for missing this. This may as well be moved to the Old Mon's thread, as really, this guy is pretty much the same. X3
