Any good Poliwrath movesets

[Nukada]

Rate my sceptile. i think this is a good moveset.

Sceptile level 37

Drain punch
Energy Ball
leaf blade
quick attack.

Okay, you could use a bit of help here:

#1 rule of teams, you almost never need two attacking moves of the same type, especially when they are as similar as Energy Ball and Leaf Blade.

Look at it's stats, if it has higher Attack, go with leaf blade, otherwise, stick to energy ball.

As for the other moves:
It looks like you are leaning toward physical moves, so here's a few good physical moves that you may want to try out:

Leaf Blade (If you are using physical moves, this is the epitome of grass attacks)
Dragon Claw (really only good vs. dragons though)
Earthquake (hits most anything for good damage)
Iron Tail (another pretty good move, hits super effective against ice)
Rock Slide (This covers all your weaknesses except poison, which earthquake would hit super effectively).

Otherwise if you are leaning toward special:
Energy Ball (A must)
Dragon Pulse (Just like Dragon Claw)
Focus Blast (Bad accuracy, but great damage)
Hidden Power (Find out what type it is, Fire, Ice and Rock work best, although getting anything other than grass, dragon and fighting is nice)

Unfortunately, Sceptile's Special movepool is limited in this game. You can take out one of the above moves for a support move like toxic, swagger, or protect depending on what fits your style.

Just remember that Sceptile should be able to outrun almost everything near its level in-game, so it will get at least one hit in on its opponent. Unfortunately, if you are confronted with a fire or flying type, you would probably be better off swapping something else to combat it better.

What would be a good nature and set for Giratina? Should it go phys (STABs plus earthquake), special (STABs plus tbolt), or something more defensive? I'm not actually going to battle with it, but I'm trading it to my bro, so i have to A- catch it with a good nature. and B- teach it a couple moves

Also, my empoleon is modest, knows brine, ice beam, and grass knot, with EV's split between spAtk and spDef... What can I add to this to make it non-suck? (obviously I need a 3rd move haha)

[-Totodile-]

I caught a Shiny Registeel and it has a Careful nature. I was looking at the Careful movesets for Registeel on Smogon and they both need either Ice Punch or Thunderpunch.

I can easily get these moves in Emerald, but I was wondering if there's any other movesets without the Punches I can use for my Careful Registeel.

Delcatty moveset?

Delcatty (Jolly Nature) @Leftovers
~Ability: Cute Charm~
-Body Slam/Fake Out
-Substitute
-Baton Pass
-Wish/Calm Mind/Charge Beam

Um... she's a passer. Her offenses aren't great. :/ Body Slam is there to get a chance for paralysis, as well as some STAB. You can pass on a Substitute to a team mate, heal the team with Wish, or pass Sp.Attack/Sp.Defense boosts. Nothing much else to say...

[Kyogre35]

Is there a good move set for Vaporeon. Just wondering.

[Short Wing]

Vaporeon *Bold
@Leftovers
-Wish/Surf/Icebeam
-Sub/Acid armor
-Surf/Ice beam
-Baton pass

Vaporean Makes a great baton passer and can easily pass on a defensive move like sub, acid armor or can even help out a team mate with wish. The attacking move is a choice between water and ice, but you could replace with with the other attaking move

Hope that helps!
Good luck with raising Vaporeon!

[ProphetofDeath]

I'm looking for a move set for a Togekiss (don't ask)

[FlawedDeception]

Whats a good moveset and nature for a mixed Arcanine?

[Shine]

@ProphetofDeath

Togekiss
Calm Nature
~Nasty Plot
~Aura Sphere
~Air Slash
~Baton Pass


@FlawedDeception

I like

Arcanine
Mild Nature
~Flamethrower/Fire Blast
~Dragon Pulse
~Crunch
~Extremespeed

very good IMO. The only thing needs change are its Nature (should be Adamant instead), and use Swords Dance instead of Dig.

What's a good EV spread for a Weavile?

Also, could you give me a good nature and moveset for an Octillery?

Thanks.

[-Totodile-]

What's a good moveset for a Careful Registeel that doesn't have any of the punches in it?

[Gorgonopsid Master]

Does anyone recommend a good raichu moveset heres my pikachu so far

Pikachu Hasty
EVs: 101 Sp Attck 101 Speed

Lv: 6

Hp: 20
Attack: 12
Defense: 7
Special Attack: 12
Special Defense: 10
Speed: 19

Moves:

Thunder Bolt
Focus Punch
Attract
Thunder Shock

I was thinking about getting substitute on it and maybe nasty plot or agility what does everyone else think?

Note: I got those evs using carboses and calciums

[Short Wing]

Pikachu *Hasty
@Light orb
-T-bolt/V-tackle
-G-knot/Hp ice/(surf could also work, but then it has to be hardy nature and t-bolt)
-Sub
-Brickbreak/F-punch/Encore
Definately give Pika sub, He can't take hits so it helps a lot, don't use agility or Nastyplot unless you have focus sash, because pika is too frail to set up for a sweep, Encore works better if you're trying to sweep, use it on a nondamaging move, and then sub, that would give pika a few turns to sweep.

Good luck raising your Pikachu!

What is a good Exploding Lickilicky set?

Something other than one from Smogon.

[SapphireL]

Lickilicky (Adamant/Impish Nature) @Leftovers
~Trait: Own Tempo~
-Body Slam
-Swords Dance
-EQ/Power Whip/Fire Punch
-Explosion

This is really the best option for Explosion Lickilicky. I think Smogon's set says EQ is good, but you could consider Power Whip as another means to get rid of Rocks, or Fire Punch for Steels. It's just that EQ handles both at once.

Lickilicky (Adamant/Impish Nature) @Leftovers
~Trait: Own Tempo~
-Body Slam
-Explosion
-Wrap.../Hammer Arm
-EQ

Um... I dunno. Wrap to trap, then explode? Might not be too useful ingame. The Swords Dance set is the way to go imo. Swords Dance + STAB Explosion is going to hurt a lot.

[xgina]

What's a good EV spread for a Weavile?

252 Atk/252 Spd jolly

Also, could you give me a good nature and moveset for an Octillery?

Thanks.

Octillery @ Life Orb
Trait: Suction Cups
EVs: 252 HP / 56 Atk / 16 Def / 8 Spd / 176 SAtk
Quiet Nature (+SAtk, -Spd)
- Ice Beam
- Surf
- Fire Blast
- Gunk Shot / Waterfall / Rock Blast

What's a good moveset for a Careful Registeel that doesn't have any of the punches in it?

you'd be hard pressed to get a set with that, but i'd say probably eq/iron head/thunder/explosion @ choice band (pretty horrible set, but you can't do much without the elemental punches).

[-Totodile-]

Thanks, I can still get the punches so it's no problem. I just wanted to see if there was a way without loading up on battle points.

[ZFG]

I just thought of a moveset for Charizard but I'm not sure if its good.

Charizard - Admant
-Sunny Day
-Solar beam
-Flamethrower/Fire blast/Flare blitz/F-Punch/Heat wave
-Earthquake

Sunny Day would increase its fire attack and let solarbeam skip charging. Solarbeam would take care of water, rock and ground pokes while EQ would take care of electrics. I think its good but I've never seen anyone mention it which makes me think its not.

If you are planning to use both Solarbeam & Earthquake, then don't use Adamant Nature. Use something like Lonely or Mild instead. Or you can use a purely physical Zard/purely special Zard.

Charizard
Adamant Nature
~Flare Blitz/Fire Punch
~Earthquake/Rock Slide/Aerial Ace/Dragon Claw
~Earthquake/Rock Slide/Aerial Ace/Dragon Claw
~Earthquake/Rock Slide/Aerial Ace/Dragon Claw

What is a good contest moveset for Milotic?

[Sunraichu]

Anyone have a good moveset for Spritomb?

[SapphireL]

Milotic (Bold/Calm Nature) @Leftovers
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Recover
-Hypnosis

or...

Milotic (Bold Nature) @Leftovers
-Surf
-Ice Beam
-Rest
-Sleep Talk

Rest activates Marvel Scale, making Milotic's defense increase. Personally, I would go with the first set.

Spiritomb (Careful/Impish Nature) @Leftovers
-Shadow Sneak
-Will-O-Wisp
-Pain Split
-Sucker Punch

or

Spiritomb (Bold/Calm Nature) @Leftovers
-Shadow Ball/Dark Pulse
-Will-O-Wisp/Hypnosis
-Nasty Plot/Calm Mind
-HP Fighting/Psychic

HP Fighting really is the way to go here, but if you're unable to get it, Psychic is okay. :/ All of her other Sp.Attacks are weak. And if I had to choose between these two Spiritomb sets, I would pick the second one for ingame. :/ The first set is more for Competitive battling.
