Zen Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 So, given that my rock-type monotypes were suffering so horribly in singles, I decided to venture into the rock-type legendaries since all but terrakion usually suck, anyway Specifically, I was looking for a legendary who could help me with those annoying skarmory/gliscor that always wall my rock teams. I ended up settling on regirock, of all pokemon. After a short discussion with Ame, when he mentioned regirock needing a steady source of recovery, I recalled that the Braille-studded thing could learn Drain Punch. Score! Coupled with the following EV's, he typically doesn't need speed, even - both defenses are high enough (SDef requires sand to back it, though) to weather a hit and retaliate accordingly. But of course, this is the laboratory! So it's a doubles concept --- Regirock @ Leftovers Trait: Clear Body EVs: 255 Atk / 36 Def / 216 SDef Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Earthquake - Drain Punch - Smack Down - Ice Punch --- Lunatone @ Focus Sash Trait: Levitate EVs: 255 SAtk / 255 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Psychic - Earth Power - Grass Knot - Skill Swap --- Lunatone floats it up, and you may commence the rocking. Smack Down and Earthquake are a two-piece combination intended to ground skarmory for an Earthquake, whereas Ice Punch with maximum Atk trolls gliscor. Drain Punch is for recovery, as stated earlier. So far, it's done reasonably well against its intended victims, and has even managed to take down a scizor who Bullet Punched it with +2 Atk. Opposing terrakion are also vulnerable, since they typically use Close Combat, which can't beat through regirock's defenses if it's at full HP. If you want it to be more towards an anti-scizor/ferrothorn/forretress thing, you could substitute Ice Punch for Fire Punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phazer Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I like, you should skill swap and trick room to take down Terrakions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleRhu Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 A fine choice, I must say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
