Mango kid Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hmm, I don't think Bisharp and Malamar are bulky enough to use Rest/Sleep Talk effectively enough. i'd instead put Knock Off, Iron Head, or Swords Dance on Bisharp. Maybe Tospy-Turvy and Psycho Cut IT WORKS and no one expects it they always use what u said as bisharp so they set up like that it also use for burn users Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faster Than Light Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-667678521 wrecked this noob with Alolan Ninetales https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-667680771 This was a good battle too. I got lucky with Mega Lopunny missing but I could have just dealt with it Mimikyu anyway I suppose Ninetales really does put in the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muur Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 I think Mega Lopunny could kill Mimikyu easy, the ability scrappy is very dangerous for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faster Than Light Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7monotype-667947737 Here is my Electric Monotype in action Tapu Koko @ Fairium Z Ability: Electric Surge EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Naive Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Thunderbolt - Dazzling Gleam - Grass Knot - Volt Switch Heliolisk @ Life Orb Ability: Dry Skin EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Thunderbolt - Dark Pulse - Surf - Grass Knot Galvantula @ Focus Sash Ability: Compound Eyes EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Thunder - Bug Buzz - Giga Drain - Sticky Web Zapdos @ Leftovers Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Discharge - Heat Wave - Extrasensory - Signal Beam Manectric @ Manectite Ability: Lightning Rod EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Thunderbolt - Flamethrower - Signal Beam - Volt Switch Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD Calm Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Hydro Pump - Volt Switch - Thunderbolt - Will-O-Wisp I realized during that battle that I am running all special attackers. halp The roles in my team are pretty obvious. Galvantula is the suicide lead. He places Sticky Web asap. Focus Sash usually lets him live long enough to get a Thunder in on the opponent with Compound Eyes aiding accuracy. Rotom Wall is my defensive pivot packing Will-O-Wisp to break physical attackers. Tapu Koko is fast, powerful, and provides Electric Surge on switch-in. Zapdos is a good pokemon. He packs some coverage too although I"m forgoing Defog and Roost. Heliolisk hits hard with Life Orb, has good speed, and good coverage against ground, fire, and rock types with Surf. Swampart is toast when Grass Knot hits. Mega Manectric along with Tapu Koko, are very good revenge killers with their high speed, and have Volt Switch for keeping momentum while switching to something like Rotom Wash. I just can't find any good electric physical attackers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muur Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Why use Tapu Koko as a special attacker though? it has a 115 base attack stat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Than Light Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Because Tapu Koko has a terrible physical move pool There is only Wild Charge, Thunder Punch and Iron Head. Koko can't learn Play Rough Nobody runs phyisical Tapu Koko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muur Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 No Play Rough is a 100% wtf Electrivire is the only psychical I can think of but even then he's pretty bleh Other options for 100 or so attack would be Electross, Mega Ampharos (as an attacker lol) or Zebstrika You're using NU Zapdos, so NU isn't out of your reasoning I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Than Light Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Zapdos is in the OU tier. (It's always been the highest place of the Legendary Birds) Unless you are referring to my moveset idk about Electross, he's too slow. I wouldn't use Mega Ampharos over Manectric. And Zebstrika looks to glassy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muur Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Ah I figured it was with it's brothers Moltres and Articuno in NU but fair play if Zapdos is good. I think if you need a psychical attacker, you pretty much only have Electrivire then. With Thunder Punch/Wild Charge, Earthquake, Fire Punch/Ice Punch, Brick Break maybe? Iron Tail if you don't mind the shit accuracy. Looks like he gets Rock Slide too. He shouldn't be too bad, has some good options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Than Light Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Zapdos is the only one of the Legendary Birds who aren't crippled by 4x weakness to stealth rock and it's typing has better synergy, as well as decently better coverage. I see other Electric Monotype teams run Alola Golem. Has Stealth Rock, Electric boosted Return, Rock STAB, and some other things. I like Electrive's design and his coverage is really good, but he just lacks stopping power. IDK, electric types aren't really known for their physical attackers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muur Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Alola Golem has some good attacking stats but like normal Golem it's pretty shit defensively because of it's Special Defence but it can probably do the job for a monotype. I think Electrivire is a better option than it If doing doubles you could also use Discharge with whoever is partnering Electivire to get mad Speed boosts. Have that as a Zebstrika and spam it with both and they'll be get hella speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Bel Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Flame orb luxray is a fun physical attacker. Too bad he's at that weird stage of being too slow to sweep without baton pass help and too fast for trick room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Than Light Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I think I'm just doomed to not have a physical attacker and be walled by Chancey for days :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muur Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I think I'm just doomed to not have a physical attacker and be walled by Chancey for days :/ Use psyshock on an alolan raichu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Than Light Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Hmmm, that's actually a good idea. Didn't know that thing could learn Psyshock, but I should have guessed. Maybe Life Orb / Fast Special Sweeper Thunder Bolt Psyshock Surf Volt Switch or Focus Blast Might be able to replace Heliolisk. Hmmm. Alolan Raichu has synergy with Tapu Koko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Bel Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Zekrom is a good physical attacker. 150 base attack and 90 speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice is a shit typing and there isn't really a physical Ice move it can use. It can't even learn Ice Punch. In fact the only physical Ice move it gets, is one that takes two turns to use.

Faster Than Light Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Kyurem Black isn't that good. One Bullet or Mach Punch and it's wrecked. While at the same time being weak to Fairy. I only use one on my mono-ice team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
