aaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnd... I lost to Argenta... to about the most annoying pokemon ever: Shuckle. I was so mad. I would have won, if it weren't for a critical hit from Rollout... I was waiting for the Sand Storm to die down to reduce its SpDef and then destroy it and Shuckle got a critical hit...
and then I went back to try again, and on my 19th battle I met a Heatran that knew Magma Storm, which actually hit...
What's a good moveset for Porygon-Z that I could use in the Battle Hall. atm I'm running
Porygon-Z @ Life Orb
Timid
4HP
252SpAtk
252Speed
~Nasty plot
~Recover
~Discharge
~Tri Attack
Tri Attack is my main attack, and usually deals with everything in one move. Recovery's there to keep me alive in a long battle(like against Argenta), and Nasty Plot is there to boost SpAtk if needed. Discharge is an attack that it learns naturally to cover ghosts, steel and rock types that are unnafected/resist T-Atk.
i kno, but it isn't the best sweeper tbh. for sweeping i use weaviles. they are faster and more powerful (in attack not special attack).
@renegade phantom: that isn't to great... wt if u r against a golem or steelix? i kno u can switch out but i try to keep pokémon more dynamic.
@Period - But Porygon-Z can just Nasty Plot up to boost its attack power, and considering Golem and Steelix's Special Defense, they are going to receive a rather huge blow despite their typing.
About Weavile, I can use a Bronzong with Gyro Ball and do massive damage to Weavile even though it is really slow. You do know that Gyro Ball is based on the difference on the opponents speed and your speed, right?
@ZLS - Replace Discharge with Thunderbolt. Recover can be replaced with Ice Beam or Dark Pulse, which can hit Ghosts. Otherwise your Porygon-Z is looking good. I do not have a strategy for Argenta as I do not have Platinum and her Pokemon is random, but use a Pokemon that can hit hard as well as have a variety of moves, such as Electivire(beware Swampert) and Infernape(beware Tentacruel).
