Shiny Cacturne-but what moveset?

[Sideflap]

Hello, its Chris here. So far, this is my first thread on the smogon forums. I wish to ask a bothering question....



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

I seem to remember seeing someone using a set that was fairly effective that went something like:

Sucker Punch
Focus Punch
Substitute
Swords Dance

Or something similar, I don't really remember.

You're right! Brightpowder with sandviel will help
hmmm.....

than again, how will i hang on with 1 hp? I need to activate sandstorm somehow.

straight from the rules:

Do not create threads asking what to do with a specific Pokémon You can find information about movesets and EV spreads in our Strategy Pokédex. Questions related to breeding should be confined to the Look at what I bred thread.
