This is unfortunately an old thread, so I appologize for posting on it, but I wanted to point out that Dugtrio's usefullness comes from his ability to mess up your opponents strategy by instantly killing one of his main pokemon. This generally cripples his ability to switch in counters for your...

This is a fairly old thread, but I wanted to point out that Hail on Glaceon would not be entirely bad due to the fact that it: gives Glaceon +1 evasion, and hurts the foe every turn, as well as stopping the annoying sandstorm/other weather. Misty+, as Bliksem said, full speed would really not...

Pitcher, just to make sure your question gets answered, Choice Band would be used because he needs the extra attack to be effective. Choice Orb would take your health down, making usless for hitting anything with a high base HP(Blissey ect.) Fake Out always goes first(Kills those annoying...

It very well could be, if you have the right moves. Though you might want to think about giving him a Salac berry instead of leftovers, so you could pass some speed too. Thunder Wave would work. For Ev's, you would want 252 Hp, and 252 Speed, 6 somthing. Trait would be Timid or Jolly(+Speed...

Many thanks Paperfairy, this has proved a priceless aid to finding the correct pokemon discussion quickly.

Lopunny has the speed, but with 76 base attack, it really can't do much damage even with a Choice Band. Switcheroo can really only work once in every game, so it pretty much makes Lopunny a 'hope-for-the-best' pokemon, and X4 weaknesses is about all it can hope for.

Honestly, you could get 1 chance to use U-turn. ONLY 1. The very first move of the game. After that it would be a usless move. Think. Is it worth using U-turn for a *possible* 1 use only? After the first turn, you would never switch in just to use U-turn, and with choice band, you wouldn't be...

As Misty+ said, 50/100/100 would be much better. {According to Netbattle} the more damage the move does, the more defense lowers it. Explanation: {According to NetBattle Damage Calculator} If the move does 170-200 damage, on average, 4 defense EV's will lower the damage by one point(169-199)...

You could have a serious problem with rock/steel pokemon. Since U-Turn is a bug attack, you really wouldn't get much versatility from it(aside from using it against Tyranitar, in which case Brick Break would be better) Ice punch would really only do more damage than Double Hit/Return if you...

Light Screen could be used somwhat effectively on Torterra if it's combined with a decent move set. Torterra @Leftovers Overgrow -Leech Seed -Seed Bomb/Wood Hammer(with STAB, incredible damage{possibly OHKO} to any water pokemon) -Substitute -Light Screen(helps Torterra survive an ice attack...

If you're going for the straight choice band/Switcheroo Lopunny, a better pokemon choice would be Banette with Trick. Its Frisk ability allows you to see your opponent's item, and with 115 attack, can do some serious damage with a Choice Band. Also, it really isn't as expected as a Lopunny with...

My thoughts exactly. Tauros is an Amazing starter due to his combined speed+attack+STAB for return. Ambipom has the potential to completely outdo Tauros(only the fact that Ambipom learns absolutly NO rock OR ground moves, with the exception of Sand-attack and Dig) 115 Speed is enough to outspeed...

Recover would be the only reason to use this instead of some other likely water/ground pokemon(yes we all know who they are) yawn could have some possibilities too. Gastrodon @Leftovers Storm Drain -Ice Beam(anti Salamence/flying pokemon) -Recover -Surf/Earthquake/Hp-Ground(for the sake of...

If you use the sunny day move set, Hidden Power-Rock would also be interesting. X2 against fire pokemon, and since it's a special attack, decent damage against a Salamence. Roserade @Leftovers Natural Cure -Hp-Rock -Sludge Bomb -Sunny Day -Weather Ball Really though, I think you would want...

This is really just one of those pokemon that dosn't have very good stats. Not enough moves to really do much either. One of the only ways to utilize him would be to sing, then swords dance up. Kricketune @Salac Berry(possibly survive an attack with a bit of health to activate this)...

Not to destroy your move set dreams, but Curse on Torterra would only work until any pokemon with an ice move decides to OHKO you. Also, you should devote EV's to somthing other than defense if you plan to use curse(which I would strongly advise against). I would say 252 Hp, 252 Sp. Defense, 6...

---Firstly, I have no idea how to properly post a quote, so please roll with whatever ends up happening to this post. My mind was running on basically the same lines as your's, (substitute, rock polish, earthquake, and woodhammer) However, any flying pokemon would completely destroy that move...
