Pokemon Platinum - The definitive thread: Mach 3 (Competitive Discussion)

Flygon: Mud-slap, Outrage, Earth Power, Twister, Heat Wave, Fury Cutter, ThunderPunch, Fire Punch, Ominous Wind, Air Cutter, Snore, Swift
 
My money's on Dragon Dance / Waterfall / Outrage / Hydro Pump with Naughty/Lonely, Life Orb and as many spare EVs in Sp. Attack as possible as Hydro Pump's the only way you'll do any damage to Skarm or Forretress...

edit: 252 Attack/232 Speed/24 Sp. Attack outspeeds base 130s after a DD and hits Skarm for 67% - 78% with LO Hydro Pump. It's also just over enough to bring Hippowdon down in one hit, who would otherwise take Waterfalls and Outrages and Roar you out.
I think I'd still prefer the Rain Dance version with Draco Meteor since it can dent grounds and steels harder. Leave DDMence to outrage with its monstrous attack and firebreathing potential.
 
Yea I'm not sure if I would really want to lock kingdra into Outrage as the only way to take out dragons, I might replace hydro pump with dragon pulse and just let the phazers phaze me away while I leave a dent in them. In hopes of course that it does enough damage...
EDIT: or ice beam, that would be arguably better than dragon pulse, i don't suppose salamence will be carrying yache berry often though dragonite may be different
 
Don't underestimate Kingdra's ability sniper. If it lands a critical hit, it would leave a crater on the phazer instead of a dent.
 
excuse me for thinking that people are good at heart

but seriously, anyone with Platinum and acess to all the Move Tutors should help find them

I never had a vindictive intent with what I was saying. Just saying hackers are always around.

I am working on testing all the tutors on pretty much every OU pokemon first. Just working = lack of time.

There we go, fuck hydro pump and save outrage for late game :D. Anyways it'd be easy to lure a kingdra into outraging by switching in and out (and thus screwing it over).
 
As happy as I am to see Kingdra with a super cool Dragon move...let me point out that Palkia can now learn Outrage as well...

Absol w/ Superpower is awesome, btw. Flareon too, but it's really too bad Flareon got stat screwed in the first place (could have at LEAST gotten the third highest speed stat but NOOOOO...).
 
still what ever you'd use ice punch/fang on would eather take more damage from eather crunch or stabbed waterfall or a ice beam i don't see ice fang or punch being of much use anymore unless you get some attack boost in
