What Moveset Should i Give my Shiny Cacturne!
It is level 52, i just caught it yesterday.
Adamant Natured, with around 15 att IVs and 20 Spd Ivs, untouched.
Yes, i realise there are a lot of movesets listed on the competitive battling pages, but those movesets need counter and seed bomb.
I can manage to change seed bomb out for needle arm, but the loss of 20 BP.
Its counter that is the problem. That is an egg move too, but i cannot obtain it. The reason i am trying to train a cacturne if the only reason it is shiny.
So far, here is my moveset
Cacturne @ focus sash
Adamant w/ 252 att, 252 spe, 6 hp
Swords Dance
Sucker Punch
Needle Arm
Reversal/Destiny Bond/ Endure/ Sandstorm/ Something else that works
It is the last move i am woried about. Plz submit some movesets or changes that could be made. Thanks
Note: When thinking of a moveset, try making it suitable for OU or the wifi battle room. I want to actually use this shiny, as my other 3 are all UU noobies
If you evolve nincada at 25 and have the subsequent ninjask learn Swords dance, the Shedinja that is created will also know swords dance.in Standard Shedinja set [found right here on smogon]
it says
Shadow Sneak
Toxic/Willowisp
X-Siscor
Sword Dance
and i raised a shednija only to relize that i cant learn Sword Dace on Shedinja
did i miss a method? or is that a mistake if so whats a good move to put on 4th slot
what are the chances of attacking out of a paraflinch by togekiss?
Would a standard mixnape be more of a starter or a late-game sweeper?
Delay Nincada's evolution to Lv25. The Shedinja comes into existence after the evolution screen's gone, so if it evolves and learns a move as a Ninjask at that level, Shedinja will get it too. And since Ninjask learns Swords Dance at Lv25, evolving Nincada then will get it on Shedinja.How do i get sword dance shedinja??
I'm having breeding ideas block. What's something that:
For example, something like Jolteon is out, since it only fits 1 and 2. Maybe also 3.
- Is in the Gound or Water 2 egg group
- Is a sweeper of some sort (physical, special, mixed)
- Doesn't need really good defenses
- Doesn't need Hidden Power
- Doesn't take ages to hatch
- Has decent chances of either gender
- Has good Emerald tutor moves (optional but preferred)
- Doesn't have a ridiculously good version on the forum already
Thanks for the ideas, but I'd like a few more ideas (or many votes on one) before I decide.Exploud fits in 1,2,3,4,5,6,7. does have a decent version done by tea_and_blues already, but its only one. I'll consider it
mankey fits 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 but forbidden has a decent one,.I've already bred one
nidoking fits 1,2,3,4,7 and possibly 8 as there are no truly fantastic ones. (especially modest) not so much 5 as it might hatch wrong gender a lot, and obviously not 6 as it has just one gender. My sister actually bred a pretty good Modest Nidoking. She was actually pretty lucky. I gave her a x/x/x/31/x/31 Smeargle, she bred it with a random female Nidoran, impressive male came out. HP's low, but the 31s passed and everything else is in the 20s
stantler fits 1, can fit 2, 3,4,6,8 i think. not sure about tutor moves, or how long it takes to hatch. I have no idea on how to work Stantler
sharpedo fits 1,2,3,4,5,6. might be some good ones about, might not need tutor moves. I was actually thinking that at one point
goldeen fits 1,2,3,4,5,6,8 im pretty sure. no emerald mvoes though. Not a Seaking fan
Stunky has ability issues, and as I said, I'd prefer something with Emerald moves. Maybe I should try some chain breeding to get a x/31/x/31/x/31 parent in a group more suited to this kind of thing, like getting the IVs onto a Pikachu for a Fairy-group breed.stantler can work pretty well with a movepool like:
stantler jolly/adamant
hypnosis
return
earthquake
other attack move (forget what it has)
like a mini tauros with sleep. also, intimidate and frisk are both v.useful so no trait problems. Well, I'll be Emerald breeding, so it'd only be getting Intimidate
i went through the whole of those egg groups, and they were the only things i could see who werent slow to breed, wrong gendered, done by anyone else 500000 times or DP pokemon. if you include dp pokemon i could only add stunky to the list.
The Ttar analysis mentions outrunning Suicune, as well. Others include min. speed Heracross and Milotic and Gyarados.Why do the suggested ttar builds have 196 speed evs? Besides cresselia, which other notable pokemon would I be outspeeding?
