Is it a bad thing necesarrily? Focus Punch will still OHKO most Tyranitar unless they go to the extreme with their Defense investments, and it'll do more damage to Blissey in the long run. Of course, it's Pain Split/Sub Gengar, so when it has to worry about Blissey I'll have to check if I've passed on. And Focus Punch has that sweet 100% accuracy rating.Small thing I noticed. You mention Focus Blast as part of Gengar's move-set, but you have it listed as Focus Punch. You might want to change that.
...You forget that something named Scarftar exists and that each one of your above listed sets can be revenged with ease.ThePowerWithin said:I really dislike the use of Togekiss on this team; it slows down the tempo of this team and just looks ugly. I recommend switching it to one of the following anti-bulky waters (they're nightmares for Infernape and Empoleon);
- Life Orb Zapdos ; incredibly hard to counter without Blissey
- Life Orb Shaymin ; cracks through walls and after a -2 SpD from Seed Flare almost every not-Blissey will be KOd by either Earth Power, Air Slash, or Hidden Power [Ice]
- Life Orb Roserade ; incredibly strong initial Leaf Storms and Leech Seed can somewhat nullify the threat of Blissey, Spikes
EDIT: didn't see the second page and see that you were already using shaymin. But don't use growth it sucks :x
Zapdos- Has a typing that screams "STONE EDGE MEH PLZ"
Shaymin- You either go down kill it or take heavy damage from killing it or get killed and inflict nothing on it. Stone Edge does 60~% to LO Shaymin, so if it's at 50%- you can be assured of the 3rd case if Stone Edge hits. Don't say Stone Edge is a horrible move, because you obviously didn't realize that Stone Edge has a 4/5 chance to hit, and 4/5 times isn't that bad. Better than Focus Blast.
Roserade- I don't even want to say anything. It's got defenses so horrible that even Leech Seed isn't going to stop it from getting killed from a Crunch.
I recommended Togekiss because Togekiss is one of the few special attackers in the game that, after a Nasty Plot, can take down Blissey. After a single Nasty Plot, unlike Crocune who has to resort to stalling it out and unlike all above sets. I'm sure Blissey will be nullified slightly from Roserade's Leech Seed, but if it manages defends itself from a physical with its stat distribution I'll eat myself. Sure, Scarftar will deal heavy damage to Togekiss from Stone Edge, but at the very least it has a chance of surviving to paralyze and then Aura Sphere for the KO.
And it looks ugly. I'll admit that. But the ragequits, think about all the ragequits it'll cause~
