Popular serious battling Pokémon

Post by Pikachu3828 »

Hi all, I'd like to know what are some of the more popular Pokémon and movesets used in serious Pokémon battling (Battle/Trainer tower can be included, but moreso human vs human battling) I'm curious as to see what people come up with. Please though, no übers (hey, if you're gonna say über you may as well spell it correctly :wink: )

Favourites: :Gyarados: :Tyranitar: :Zangoose: :Drapion: Image

Red: 151/151 | Gold: 247/251 | Fire Red: 376/386 | Heart Gold: 493/493 | Black: 649/649

Please do not PM me about bugs on the Adoption Agency. Instead, make a topic in the bugs forum.

When you say popular movesets, one always comes to mind
Blissey w/ leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
Semisic Toss
Thunder wave/Toxic
Aromatherapy
Softboiled

When I played on netbattle, I seen this blissey set way too often, but I don't know if it is still widely played.

Here's my killer. Never, ever, ever lost a battle with this beast.

Slowbro@Leftovers
Relaxed (Defense +, Speed -)
Maxed EVs in the Special Stats, then remaining ones into Defense

Psychic
Surf
Flamethrower
Amnesia

Pretty much fends off any Physical attack, even Bug- and Ghost-Type attacks. My Slowbro even survived three Thunders from an Ampharos. That's mainly because I stuffed Slowbro full of Special Defense EVs. Psychic and Surf are the best of their kind(in my opinion) because with STAB and max Special Attack EVs, they're killers. Flamethrower will knock out them pesky Grass-Types that plague my favorite Water-Types soo. Amnesia gives Slowbro even more Special Defense, making it a deadly tank.
I'm back. And better then ever!

I have lost battles with this one, but that's only of stupid type weaknesses or the Pokemon was stronger than mine.
Blaziken @ Leftovers
Nature: Brave (Attack +, Speed -)
EV trained on SP Attack and SP Def
Flamethrower
Earthquake
Slash
Brick Break.
...I suck at explaining moves so I'll leave it at that.
