Hi Smogon! I started this thread after deciding I wanted to create a list of the best in-game movesets for Pokemon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. This is intended to be used alongside the in-game tier lists to help decide not only what pokemon to use of your playthrough, but how to use them. Please note that I will assume all pokemon will be fully evolved, unless it has a trade evolution, in which case the pre-evolved forms will be accepted as well. So, for the movesets, please use the following form (you can copy & paste this one if you like). I want at least one moveset for each Pokemon, but if you have a suggestion that is different enough to those already posted, feel free to tell everyone about it!
Pokemon: Give the name of the pokemon here. I would also like it if you used sprites as well.
Ability: Give the preferred ability
Item: The item the Pokemon should hold, if any
Moves: The Pokemon's four moves. No post-game TMs. Give a few options as well. If there is a rare TM on the moveset, them other options would be great, because TMs don't grow on trees and most people would already have plans for them.
Explanation: How the moveset works; why it is the way it is; what is it useful against; what are its shortcomings. Give some other options as well.
Pokemon: (Bold means there is already a moveset available, but it dosn't mean you can't suggest your own)
I'll repost when I have figured out some movesets of my own to get the ball rolling. Remember, everyone is free to post, and post as many as you want! I hope this works out well. When this is finished, I will collect all the best movesets and put them all together.
Cheers!
