I was talking to Venser about his Swampert.
No, because it's usually outsped unless it's Scarf or something.So is Abomasnow really good in 1v1 thanks to its 100 accuracy Blizzard?
I tried a variation of this, with Thunderpunch over Sub. It sucks. You are too slow. Most things outspeed you.How do you handle:
Breloom @ Toxic Orb Lv. 100 -- Poison Heal
Nature: Jolly - EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd (52.5 %)
Focus Punch
Seed Bomb
Spore
Substitute
Toxic Orb prevents yawn from working, and Seed Bomb kills.
Spiritomb @ Choice Specs
Nature + EV's here
Psychic
Shadow Ball
Dark Pulse
HP Fighting
But now everyone runs some kind of priority or protect for endure (protect also helps against slaking)I can likely share some odd Infernape set I've seen be used against me when I was laddering on Pokemon Online with Bronzong. It seems only really dangerous if you can't outspeed, lack priority, or are weak to fire. I've also seen an Empoleon and Blaziken variant.
Infernape, likely 252 in both speed and SpA. Custap Berry.
Endure/Blast Burn/Encore/Close Combat
Basically, it tried to get into a Blaze Boosted Blast Burn by Enduring a combat technique, or simply punishing a boosting move with Encore. However, I noticed it still lacked in power. Bronzong was able to survive one and KO with Psychic. Seems high-risk, high reward, but the power seems lacking.
Focus Sash is banned.Qwilfish - Focus Sash

The following are banned, at least on the tier we have on Pokemon Online for this.Also I'm pretty sure Explosion and Destiny Bond are both banned.
How would it be used?It seems the new trend is Disable.
Alakazam@Mail (probably)How would it be used?
Except I don't think alakazam can take a hit.Alakazam@Mail (probably)
Inner Focus
- Encore
- Disable
Don't know what else because it's all I saw.
Encores non-choicers, then disables
The guy is forced to Struggle
Poison jab? shadow claw? Those moves don't offer any coverage whatsoever. At least use aerial ace to hit fighting types a little bit harder. Low kick is usually better than brick break. Though I don't see this working too well due to weavile's tendency to rollover and die to any move. To make matters worse, the low BP of its attacks means it may struggle to kill a lot of things.Any comments?Code:Weavile (M) @ Choice Band Trait: Pressure EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Night Slash - Ice Punch - Brick Break - Poison Jab/Shadow Claw
Here's what I use, it does REALLY WELL sometimes, but other times the ladder is prepared for it.Except I don't think alakazam can take a hit.
Wouldn't Poison Heal be better than Effect Spore? If you get unlucky, your Effect Spore could, say, Poison them the turn you Endure, making them immune to Spore.Been playing this 1v1 Metagame for the past week and it is refreshing to play.
Its nice to play the game where there are different tactics than the usual ones you see in the OU Metagame.
So the main pokemon I have used is the following...
Breloom @ Custap Berry - Jolly
Ability: Effect Spore
EVs: 252 Atk - 252 Speed
Moves:
~ Endure
~ Spore
~ Focus Punch
~ Stone Edge
Nice Moveset that is easy to use.. Endure if your slower or Spore If your faster. If you Endure then Custap will activate and you Spore next turn. After than throw the STAB Focus Punches around the place like no tomorrow! Stone Edge for a coverage move that Focus Punch just wont do the work against.
