Does anyone know how I can use Roaring moon in this?
Im thinking using iron head for the flinch chance
Flinch moves are banned from the item slot, according to the original post. Roaring Moon has other decent options though.
With Dragon Breath (or Body Slam, same effect) in the item slot, every attack gets a 30% chance of paralysis. If all 5 Scale Shots hit, that’s like 83%. Crunch in the item slot gives every attack a 20% chance to drop defense. A bulky set could make decent use of Breaking Swipe, making all its moves lower the opponent’s attack.
——————————
I ran a couple demonic sets on the ladder yesterday, thought I’d share them.
Toxapex @ Infestation
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Unknown
EVs: probably SpDef
probably Calm Nature
- Recover
- Toxic
- Chilling Water
- Protect
It’s very annoying to deal with and it’s a good defensive option even when it’s not trying to trap something. Chilling Water lets it beat things it has no business beating.
Swalot @ Body Press
Ability: Liquid Ooze
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: Probably SpDef
probably Calm Nature
- Acid Armor
- Ice Beam
- Sludge Bomb
- Earthquake, I think
Not necessarily an amazing set but it threw me off guard because wtf is a Swalot supposed to do? Turns out it does Body Press stuff. A few unique aspects are its decent typing (better than Avalugg and Torkoal anyway), good coverage options, and access to Liquid Ooze to shut down healing item slots like Giga Drain. Speaking of which, I’d use Ice Beam / EQ / Giga Drain on this since I don’t recall my opponent’s set having other recovery options.
And a few more sets I thought of:
