Help

[kirbypika]

I am having trouble with my Electabuzz... You know the one in XD when you trade togepi? Ice punch, Fire Punch, Thunder punch, Cross chop... [of course T-bolt takes over Tpunch when i have enough money ] But i would like to teach Electabuzz Psychic but he already has a set of good moves.... I mean i'm lacking any Psychic pokemon/moves so i need Psychic... The punches stay (i dont have ice/fire pokemon either) and Cross chop is too cool... need help thanks

I dont know if Im wrong but being a knowledgeable pokemon trainer I dont think Electabuzz can learn Psychic.I dont know where to get Psychic from but.. sorry.

[kirbypika]

Yeah thats what i meant, electabuzz can learn psychic, but i dont know if i should replace Cross chop with it... (since SP.Atk is higher than atk)

Ha ha, you ask for us to give you advice on which move to drop then you state all 4 moves have to stay, you've got to give up one

You haven't stated if Electabuzz is for ingame battling or competitive battling. If it's in-game I'd just get rid of Cross-Chop, as you said Electabuzz has a higher Sp.Atk than Atk.

Its ingame. (though i did mention in the first post that it was the Elekid/Electabuzz you get after trading Togepi in Pokemon XD.) So i guess i'll get rid of cross chop. Thanx alot.

[Myuuzard]

Considering things Cross chop, its a no_way belonging move to a electabuzz.Psychic will be better

[kirbypika]

Yeah i'll replace Cross Chop with psychic. But Cross chop is cool XD It'd be better if it was magmar.

I wouldn't worry about Psychic for Electabuzz, it's better to focus on things that can hurt his single weakness of Ground. Thunderbolt can catch water types like Gyarados, Ice Punch for Salamence, Fire Punch for Forretress and so on. Keeping Cross Chop means you can hurt other stuff like Blissey or Snorlax which would otherwise shut you down with it's high SpDef, and it's much harder to defend against someone who uses both Special and Physical attacks than someone who just uses either one or the other. Few things are weak to Psychic anyway, so it's better left on something with STAB like Alakazam, where as the punches + Cross Chop give you better all-round coverage.

If you really insist on using Psychic though, I suggest dropping Fire Punch instead. Everything else can be hurt using your other 3 moves.

yeah my electabuzz is lv.50 now and i use it for battle tower. Its stats suck, (barely 100 in its attack stats) and i dont use it much. :/

I also think psychic would be good. Then it would be a efective power house.

I say keep your Elcectabuzz the way it is know.
