according to netbattle, sceptile's dragon claw and leech seed are incompatible... |

??? Why would they be incompatible? It's a TM and egg move you're talking. |

I'm currently working on a bug team, and I've an idea for this guy: ![]() (EV's:252 spd, 252 sp.def) (careful) |Ability: sand veil that sums the strategy..lol Sandstorm Sand tomb/Metal Claw Toxic EQ problems flying pokemon with Arial Ace, and ![]() ![]() ![]() if you switch SandTomb to Metal Claw, you can't trap the oponenet, but you're only left with ![]() EQ takes care of Ice pokemon, and your only weakness is WATER/{skarmory}. so, do you like my gligar? |

Unfortunetly even if you put HP Electric in there it wouldn't do much... I think this Gligar set might work: ![]() EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 Spd/ 6 HP Adamant/Jolly Ability: Sand Veil/Hyper Cutter Toxic Rock Slide/Earthquake Sand Tomb Swagger Strategy: Trap, confuse, poison, attack. Rock Slide takes care of Ice-Types or Earthquake for the STAB. Simple enough. |

I checked my set. apearantly, sand veil only works in desert, or has very little effect, as I battled for 15 minutes and my enemies didn't miss once..even with Lax Incence attached. but Lax+ 3 double team and you're invisible to them.. last try: {gligar} @ lax incence Carefull | hyper cutter double team swagger screech EQ/Arial Ace EV's on speed & sp.def. strategy: d-team, lower the foe's deffense, then swagger. so when it attacks itself, it'll hurt. then sweep with EQ. if your attack state sucks, don't worry. you have time until something hits you.. so much for Levitate problems.. ![]() EQ isn't super efective to Ice? funny. ![]() about your set.. Sand tomb may end after 2 turns, and there goes the strategy.. setting up the confuse/toxic/trap takes 3 turns. and without a Careful(+sp.def) and double team, you'll faint quickly. you get to attack only 2-3 times after all that work. then Sand tomb again.. how come this guy have a standard sweeper moveset, when it has so many posible strategies, and only average attack? I demand change! ![]() |

Standard implies that the moveset works and is quite commonly used. No one ever said that was the ONLY possible strategy. |

One thing that worried me about Jolteons moveset, which I think should be taken into thought. With Attract and Baton Pass, the effect of attract wouldn't be passed on, right? But with Thunder Wave and Baton Pass, you could easily Baton Pass to any gender, never having to worry about that move which gives you the edge. |

The move given in the moveset is "Attract/Thunderwave" (which means Attract OR Thunderwave) already, since both would work, though perhaps Thunderwave works better like you said. |

Not that I wish to emply something is wrong, just that Thunder Wave would work better with the Baton Pass combo, because Thunder Wave just paralyzes the enemy, while with Attract, you have be one gender, and the foe the other, that limits your change, and because the foe was infatuated with Jolteon, it seems as the Pokemon you change to has to know Attract too. Of course I could be wrong, but just as a precaution. |

Yes, I do get your point, thank you, but since Thunderwave is already part of the suggested set I think it can be left as it is ![]() |

Blaziken @ Scope Lens Docile | Blaze EVs: 252 Atk, 252 SA, 6 Spd ~Sky Uppercut ~Blaze Kick ~Focus Energy ~Slash Can I suggest that you give Blaziken Thunderpunch? That would take out both Water and Flying types and it can be gotten from the Battle Frontier Move Tutors in Emerald. |

I didnt have time to read through the posts to see if anyone said anything, but that Umbreon set is NOT standard. Its not even good. Here are a few sets: Umbreon @ Leftovers Trait: Synchronize EVs: 212 HP/240 Def/56 SDef Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) -Mean Look -Taunt -Wish -Baton Pass Chaosbreon: most useful one there is. Umbreon @ Leftovers Trait: Synchronize EVs: 212 HP/240 Def/56 SDef Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd) -Mean Look -Wish -Baton Pass -Substitute/Protect Advanced wishpasser (Supportbreon). 00DV in speed to ensure that Umby gets hit first before passing. Umbreon @ Leftovers Trait: Synchronize EVs: 212 HP/240 Def/56 SDef Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) -Torment -Mean Look/Wish -Protect -Baton Pass TP Umby. Can be similar to chaosbreon with Mean Look if you torment on the switch agains phazers. otherwise you can use Wish as support. Also annoys the hell outta CBers/CB Teams. |

The movesets in this guide work better in-game than in competitive battling. It caters to the needs of most people, as most people play Pokemon against friends and/or by themselves instead of playing on Netbattle all the time. As such, moves like Taunt and Torment, which see limited use in such circumstances, are not in the standard sets, and the EV Spreads are more straightforward. Still, thanks for your suggestion; I will be updating the guide soon with movesets that are more geared towards the metagame. |

Sure I still have to make a few adjustments here and there but it saves you the time. |

Actually, Taunt is pretty standard for competitive battling IMO. As for in-game, I think there should be a label on which sets are strictly in-game and which ones are competitive, as I'm sure lots of netbattlers will laugh. btw, I thought the special sweeper Umby was standard in-game ![]() |

I did not move your guide to this section, but I have added a small paragraph to explain that this guide might not be suited to the current metagame, as well as provided a link to the Competitive Movesets Guide. The reason why I'm not moving that topic is because I believe that the majority of Psypoke's users play Pokemon for leisure. As such, all the battling they ever do is in-game and with their friends. This guide might be more suited to their needs compared to the Competitive Movesets Guide. Moving your guide over might cause a little confusion. Status quo would therefore be good; NetBattlers can view your guide in the NetBattle section, while other casual players use this guide. In short, this section is called Pokemon Game Guides, not Pokemon NetBattle Guide[/quote from fellow FEG]. I hope you understand my reasons for doing so (or rather, not doing what you mentioned). It's not because I do not recognise your efforts ![]() |

Oh, it wasn't that I thought it should be moved here. I thought your post said that you were making a Competitive Set Guide in this area...I thought that would have been kind of redundant since you could have slid mine over. The reasoning made sense before so I'm not complaining. I was just going to help you so you wouldn't have to spend so much time on something already made. Thanks for the recognition. |

Everyone seems to use Umbreons as supporters. I've found a way to use them as attackers. ![]() Modest nature -Moonlight, Toxic, HP Dark, Psychic ![]() Admant nature -Moonlight, Toxic, Shadow Ball, HP Flying Nobody sees these coming. They always switch out to a Heracross or a Poison type thinking toxic'll be useless and I'll have to switch out. That's when you hit them w/Psychic or HP flying. HP Dark and Shadow ball are so you can kill psychics quickly. |

Nobody sees it coming indeed, so you might want to post in the Creative Movesets Thread instead. Anyway, the reason why Umbreon is not commonly used as a sweeper is because of its rather mediocre Attack and Special Attack stats. |

I noticed that on the Standard for Grumpig, you have Shock Wave listed, although it can learn Thunder Punch, Fire Punch, and Ice Punch. I believe Fire Punch would be more standard though because it covers more types easier. For instance, Steelix is resistant to Electric, takes little damage from Psychic and Ice, and is weak against Fire. |

Original Post (deleted to prevent double-post =p) : "Yeah, I noticed that too; it's one of the movesets which I am looking to update. It's because Grumpig was only able to learn those moves after Emerald was released, and this guide was written back when only Ruby and Sapphire were available." *UPDATE* I've just done an update for the sets. Some of the new sets address the issue that Pokemon like Grumpig learn new moves in Emerald (e.g. elemental punches). I've also added a line at the top of the first post to indicate the date of the most recent update for this guide. Here's the list of Pokemon which have had one or two movesets added. They are NOT sorted in any order. Dusclops Ariados Crobat Grumpig Sableye Misdreavus Granbull Qwilfish Delibird Mantine Stantler Smeargle Raikou Ho-oh Sableye |
