    Default Favorite Pokemon Build

    To those of you who play any of the Pokemon RPGs (Diamond, Heart Gold, White, etc.), what's your favorite Pokemon build? Mine has to be my favorite stalling/debuff Pokemon:

    Crobat (EV trained Speed)

    Move set:
    Toxic - Poisons the target, the dmg increases turn after turn.

    Confuse Ray - Confuses the target, also stacks with Toxic for some annoying dmg.

    Substitute - If you use this, it acts like a barrier in exchange for some health.

    Rest - Puts the user to sleep, but restores the user back to full health (I use this to recover the lost health from Substitute)

    I love this build, because first of all you're super fast so you can land your debuffs fast. Then, just keep substituting to block your opponent's moves. Use rest to regain health, and they are back to square 1

    So yeah, if you play Pokemon, what's your favorite build? Post builds down below
    ya YEET

    Ferrothorn @rocky helmet
    EV's: Sp.Def, Def.
    IV's: 31/31/31/31/31/0
    Spikes
    Stealth Rock
    Power whip
    Gyro ball

    My hazards pokemon basically. Power whip for grass STAB and gyroball for STAB and to compliment it's extremely low speed, maximizing the attacks power.

    Lol yea. You could stack I think 3 layers of spikes. It's risky because your opponent could have a Rapid spinner on their team

    Stealth Rock = 1 layer, damage done depends on weakness and resistance
    Spike = 3 layers max, damage done depends on how many layers
    Toxic Spikes = 3 layers max, poison depends on how many layers


    Anyway, mine is:
    Azumarill
    EV: 248/252/8/0/0/0
    IV: 31/31/31/0/31/31
    Item: Sitrus Berry (Aka Choice Band Fake)

    Belly Drum
    Aqua Jet
    Superpower
    Waterfall


    Deadly, deadly, deadly. Eats Talonflame for lunch, and just about everything else.

    The belly drum reminded me of the annoying Snorlax with rest, sleep talk, and hyper beam.

    I don't have X and Y, I have black (not 2.)
    Scizor: Is a very strong sweeper, able to one hit opponents.
    Forgot which EVs .-. And nature as well >_<
    Ability: I think Technician? I haven't really took the time to review this stuff.
    Item: Life Orb
    Move set:
    Swords Dance: Increase his insane attack even more.
    X-Scissor: STAB, and is deadly with swords dance combined. Can one-hit Metagross with it (not sure against defense EV Metagross)
    Bullet Punch/Iron head: Both STAB, Bullet Punch is weaker, but is fast and allows Scizor to finish off opponents, due to his lack of speed. Iron head is powerful, but slow.
    (I forget which attack for this slot :/ so these are a guess, correct me if I'm wrong)
    Night Slash/Earthquake/Protect: I'm pretty sure it's Night slash, idk though. It's for coverage, good dmg with Swords Dance, another move when Bullet punch and X-Scissor won't work, and can also crit. Also against those Cresselia and Metagross. Earthquake (not even sure if he can learn it .-.) Covers his ultimate fire weakness, but IMO, the fire coverage should be left to your other pokemon, since Scizor is slow and fire types will usually be faster and knock him out, like Arcanine. Protect is self explanatory, can help whenever you're in a sticky situation, but I don't use it.






    Hydreigon: The best Special attack dragon ever, Dragon gem Draco Meteor can tear holes in your opponent when used correctly.
    I forgot EVs and nature again...:/ I remember high special attack, some speed and defense.
    Ability: Levitate
    Item: Dragon Gem
    Move set:
    Draco Meteor: STAB, boosted by Dragon gem, very powerful, also with Hydreigons high special attack. Tears holes in opponent when used correctly. I use as the last move, as it lowers his Special Attack after use.
    Fire Blast: It covers his bug and ice type weaknesses, specifically the dangerous Scizor, and with his speed EVs, he should be able to use it before Scizors X-Scissor unless it's Trick Room situation.
    Dark Pulse: STAB, it's strong, should hit Cresselias hard, and sometimes Metagross.
    Protect: Self explanatory
    All for one, and one for all.

    The Scariest one is Darkrai
    His move set is a little too OP
    -Dark Void Puts opponent to sleep
    -Nightmare Is curse for the pokemon thats sleeping
    -Dream eater its like mega drain for pokemon thats sleeping
    -Curse It is nightmare all over again

    + Darkrais inherent nightmare ability

    so put the pokemon to sleep using dark void
    then use Nightmare
    Then use curse
    Then use Dream eater
    + his own nightmare ability you can beat any pokemon easy
