Sun teams would benefit a lot from Thundurus seeing as Rain will have a new champion in its mists. I wouldn't necessarily bring Garchomp and to hell with Excadrill. I don't want to have head aches with that Fucking mole...

Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 Move Tutor Moves

People who want to counter Sun in NU.
Serebii just released the list of Level-up moveset changes, mostly the changes are to make moves be learnt much earlier than before (The Eeveelutions learn their last move at level 45 as opposed to level 70), but there are of course completely new moves in some Pokemon learnsets, for example some that I noticed on first read:
- Growlithe: L43 Outrage
- Articuno/Moltres: L92 Hurricane
- Zapdos: L92 Zap Cannon
- Gliscor: L45 Sky Uppercut
- etc...

lol Zapdos got trolled. Could've been an incredible Rain abuser if it got Hurricane.
There's a complete list a page or two back.
No word on the tutors yet, not matter how many times I hit the refresh button...
What would the tutors have to offer it, though, I mean, realistically? Iron Head? Possible, but Gear Grind is better. Drill Run? With what?
Wth, no Hurricane while the other 2 Legendary Birds got it? Meh
Earth Power, or I guess... Superpower?
Oh, yeah, forgot about Superpower. I guess that'd be something.
Same here. Ghost/Fighting is unresisted, so Shadow Punch/Drain Punch/EQ/Rock Polish would be just perfect.
Personally, I think that using Tornadus-T as a tank isn't the best way to abuse it. It may have gotten a power drop, but IT MAKES UP FOR THAT. His increased Speed is lovely, meaning that he no longer has to be afraid of being revenge killed by Pokemon such as Starmie or Alakazam. His Choice Specs set is BETTER; Regenerator means that it can switch in and out with impunity (the best way to deal with the previous Specsadus was Stealth Rock). The bulk, while still relatively low, means that it can take some neutral moves without losing half his health. Use Tornadus-T as a Choice Specs user, not a bulky pivot imo. What an awesome sprite too.
Bear in mind Bidoof can learn it.
EDIT: And Drill Run would be just the thing for Escavalier, Dodrio, and Swellow.
The Specs set is definitely the way to go, but Roost + LO has some merit to help account for Hurricane's miss chance. I have a feeling it will get Earth Power as a tutor move as well, which makes SpD Jirachi a bit more wary about switching in.
So can Marill, it's part of their level-up. I mean that generally speaking, only really strong pokemon can learn it via tutor.
There are some exceptions though, like Mudkip, Snubull, and Geodude, so I wouldn't give up hope quite yet. That said, you do have a point, and, if it doesn't get it when the list comes out, I wouldn't be surprised.
I'm loving these sacred beasts... Although Thundurus and Landorus seem abit over powered just looking at the base stats. Time will tell what they will do to OU.
Yeah 145 is pretty strong, if Thundurus-T's moveset is similar, I could see it getting the boot +2 with 145 attack breaks through everything.
Landorus-T I am unsure about though, if the movepool is similar, it might not be enough to be an issue.
Landorus-T I am unsure about though, if the movepool is similar, it might not be enough to be an issue.
I am just disappointed that Landorus got slower, despite the attack increase. But wow, 145 attack. Rock Polish sets could be great with him (assuming that the two forms have the same moveset; maybe Landorus could get something great to compensate the speed drop).
Landorus loses Sand Power, which basically cancels out the Attack boost. And then it has less speed. Intimidate is great, don't get me wrong, but NewLando isn't too appealing as is.
I agree and it's a shame really because Beast Lando looks freaking awesome to me.
Despite patiently waiting for more news to come the lack of move tutor comparability info is making me a bit nutty right now. I'm hoping it comes soon, in the meantime I hoping Escavalier learns either Drill Run or Superpower.
