§ - Pokemon Strategy Forum Moveset Competition - § || THEME: *Fish* - Page 6

The Blode's Mesprit ~ I like the set, looks like a nice supporter, and it also sounds very useable. I'm probably going to try this out, now that I lost all my old teams and need a TR one again. Full description as well, just idk the number of options listed in one slot is iffy for some reason to me, blame my OCD xD 9.5/10

Duncan Idaho's Sableye ~ This is a very original set, at least as far as I've seen; well, not the individual moves, but the combination seems creative. Good description again, although maybe could've been fuller. Connection to theme is a little less original, though, but I like the idea. 8/10

Tyranitar1's Mew ~ Really good attacking set, pretty colors were a nice touch. c:. However, not too convinced on the EV spread, could've given an explanation for that. Description as a whole was a little lacking, other options could've been listed too, but again the set is solid and the idea of reviving an old threat is very nice. Didn't explain that either, though ._. 7/10

Megamaster37's Latias ~ Recover again isn't all that original, but you are the first one to bring up teammate options, which is very helpful indeed. The set isn't common, but not really unique either. I do appreciate the sarcasm though. 8/10

Phoenixmon's Cradily ~ I like the set, and Cradily in general, but the description is rather weak. I like the different means of recovery as opposed to Recover. Other than that, not very original though, and again description...:/ 6/10

Poketrainer_Jay's Clefable ~ Clever set, the use of Unaware is unexpected on something with Magic Guard. Double use of recovery in Wish/Protect is nice, decent description too I suppose. 7.5/10

captain boo's Audino ~ Excellent set as always Ziggly, love it. Description is there and the tie-in as well. Only thing is, as much action as I've seen it get, I'm just not sure of its overall OU practicality in the actual OP metagame, as opposed to the originality of most Neo battlers. Especially with the physically-geared metagame as it is .-. 9/10

Icekickseverything's #Mesprit ~ Won't take off points for set similar to Blode's, so this is actually very nice. HealingWish is again creative and clever, making for a solid tie-in. If only you'd given a more complete description, not necessarily more writing but a mention of counters or teammates would've been nice. 8.5/10

The Blode wins everyone, he picks next theme and should PM it to me whe he comes up with it, which would preferably be ASAP. It's customary that he judges, but, I could do so if he doesn't wanna. Thanks to all entries!

Well, 7.5 isnt bad I guess. MagnetBoy threw me off by praising my set, and then giving that score. With all the pros he listed i was expecting an 8-9. W/e next competition.

MagnetBoy problem is that there inst much to say due to how painfully obvious the set is, elaborating upon the obvious only obscures it.

If the use of a move is painfully obvious, explain it sarcastically.

I'm taking Gliscor for this theme.

I will Refrain from using Dragonite this round. It's just too predictable (By which I mean me using Dragonite, not Dragonite itself)


^{Just look at this guy. Calm and Collected, ready to destroy you and your precious team made without him in a instant, all while covered in the sexiest color of blue sparks.
Unless of course you have a Dragonite, but thats pretty much cheating.}

Sceptile @ Cell Battery
252 Hp/252 Att/4 Sp.D
Unburden
Adamant
--------------
Leaf Blade
Acrobatics
Earthquake
Thunderpunch/Rock Slide

Moves
Lead Blade -- Obligatory STAB move. Useful for taking out anything that doesn't take super effective damage from Sceptile's other moves.
Acrobatics -- After Cell Battery is consumed, Acrobatics gets a power boost to 110 base power, making it a fearsome attack for anything resisting Sceptile's STAB, most notably the grass and bug types. It also does significant damage to the many fighting types used in OU.
Earthquake -- Another powerful attacking option, and it hits the Steel types that resist Sceptile's first two attacks well.
Thunderpunch/Rock Slide -- The final move is mostly for coverage. Thunderpunch gives you a good option against Skarmory and lets you hit Bronzong neutrally, at the cost of having Lightningrod Zapdos and Volt Absorb Thundurus wall you. Rock Slide hits Skarm neutrally and takes care of Zapdos and Thundurus, but leaves Bronzong there to wall you. Dragon Claw is an option here as well if you're paranoid of Haxorus, otherwise Rock Slide will do vs. Dragonite (Ha, like you'll ever KO a Dragonite without a whole team made to do so. ...oh, you can beat Dragonite with one pokemon you say? Enjoy your Saharan penguin and playing Team Fortress 3 while you're at it.) and Salamence.

Evs, and Nature
The given EVs and Adamant nature are to max out your attack and give you the health needed to take the electric attack needed to activate your Cell Battery. The 4 Sp. D will also help out with that. EVs in Speed are unneeded as you'll have speed surpassing 550 after Unburden activates.

Other
--Team Support--
This set pairs very well with a Gyarados, as it easily attracts electric attacks. Just make sure you dont also have a Manetric, Zapodos, or similar Pokemon, as with Team Preview, the opponent may expect a switch and not use an electric attack. Depending on what you used for your last move, you'll want to be sure to take out anything that threatens a sweep. Any Normal/Flying or Tornadus-types that can learn U-Turn are good partners for this as well. Just make sure you dont U-Turn into an Ice attack and get your Sceptile frozen on par with Walt Disney.

--In doubles battles, anything that uses Discharge, possibly one of the Rotom formes, makes a great partner for Sceptile. Also, be wary of trick users, as they will make Sceptile far less useful if you havent activated your Cell Battery already.

I think I'll participate when I find a theme that I really want to fit. Even with my lack of current meta knowledge(or has it not changed much since when I was participating?)

Well NP, i will head back with a new one
