UnicornJesus Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I'm not the best guy at making movesets, so I kinda wanted help on this one. At the moment, I have Dragon Dance, Outrage and Iron Tail on Haxorus, but I'm lacking a last move... Any help or criticism to the moves I already have is appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youmu9 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 It depends what point of the game you are at. But i'd replace iron tail with poison jab. The tm can be found in teknite cave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnicornJesus Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 I'm at late game, going to Amaria's gym. Thanks both. Although, why poison jab? Fairies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youmu9 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Yeah. And Bulldoze will hit everything else. That's the best Haxorus can do. It'd be nice if it could learn a fire move but It just can't for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well iron tail works too against fairies but comes with the bonus that it might poison the particularly bulky ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnicornJesus Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Bulldoze is a good suggestion, but I think I'll only put it after Amaria, because Ground-type moves there are useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron tail is also less accurate. Poison jab is much safer to use. You can use either one though. Just keep that in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnicornJesus Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Exactly. But for now I'll keep both moves. Thank you both! Maybe I'll give him some WIde Lens to deal with the accuracy issue; that way, Iron Tail will have (Correct me if I'm wrong) 82,5% accuracy; between Hydro Pump and Fire Blast.

Haxorus doesn't need coverage against ice types like other dragons do since it's only single typed. Most ice types are frail too so outrage would be able to take them out anyway. And, what do you mean by flying types? Steel does neutral damage to them. 11 minutes ago, UnicornJesus said: Exactly. But for now I'll keep both moves. Thank you both!

That seems like a waste of an item slot to me. Giving it an expert belt would boost it's coverage moves. Life orb would be even better if you have one.

UnicornJesus Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Me too, I just checked; flying is weak to rock, electric and ice; not steel. Weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorisaur Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Iron Tail and Outrage are pretty bad and situational due to accuracy of the firstr and effect of the second. I would truly suggest you to instead use dragon claw and poison jab. I think that earhquake is the best filler for the last move but also rock slide might be useful in doubles. it depends of your team's weaknesses, after all. Don't worry for claw's lower power, you are going to dragon dance setup in order to get sweeps and haxorus even has more atk than metagross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry for claw's lower power, you are going to dragon dance setup in order to get sweeps and haxorus even has more atk than metagross Thanks for your opinion man. Although I think Rock Slide isn't yet available, and I'm pretty sure Earthquake isn't available yet. I'm going to definitely put Poison Jab on his moveset, but I'm not sure about Dragon Claw, because Outrage is much stronger, and the only problem is the confusion, but you get 2-3 turns to use the most powerful Dragon-Type STAB in the meantime. And as Lord Drakyle said, although it's a bit of an item slot waste, you can always have Haxorus hold a Lum Berry to heal its confusion.

luis Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 @UnicornJesus Outrage should take care of everything except steel and fairies. So I would go with EQ and Poison Jab for the other 2 slots. And until EQ is available, go with superpower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Trash itself, of course. However the problem is not confusion, but people sending out steels or fairies after the first kill. Dragon Claw might require more setup but allows hax to sweep all the team of an opponent, even someone like Titania, Taka or Amaria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimikyu dayo Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 How about Brick Break? Covers steel types and isn't as weak as bulldoze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
