UgandaPanda Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hi, im trying to breed an Empoleon with yawn and ice beam for my water mono type save file and was wondering how I would go about this as I am pretty new to breeding. thanks in advance!

Simon Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Well, since Empoleon is part of the Field Egg Group, you could have a Smeargle sketch the moves.. I can't really explain the Sketching as I haven't used it yet in Reborn, but perhaps Gutten or someone else can. Another way is that you do Male Seel (Level 47) /Dewgong (Level 55) w/ Ice Beam + Female Slakoth/Vigororth/Slaking -> Male Slakoth w/ Ice Beam + Yawn (Learns it at level 1 and Slaking can relearn Yawn from the Move Relearner) + Female Piplup/Prinplup/Empoleon = Your Piplup/Prinplup/Empoleon w/ Ice Beam and Yawn... hopefully..

UgandaPanda Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 thanks for the quick response simon! also would agility and icebeam be a better option? I just felt like yawn could be useful since I dont have many status inflicting moves on my team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhi Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 If you want to sweep w/ Empoleon, go for Agility. Personally, I just run what works with minimal effort: Steel Wing, Drill Peck, Aqua Jet, and Swords Dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hm. I guess so, I have no clue since I never really got to use Empoleon. But if you want to try that, just replace Buizel for Slakoth. There alot of other pokemon that can also breed Agility w/ Ice Beam onto Empoleon so lemme know if you need to know the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Yeah get a Smeargle, go to the Spinel (or whatever it's called) Forrest, on a Windy night and then go to that crazy shifting cave with a Smeargle of your own at level 20,30, or 40 Get a pokemon that knows Ice Beam and lead off with that. Find a wild Smeargle use Ice Beam (hopefully without killing it) It sketches Ice Beam, then you switch into your smeargle and sketch IT's Ice Beam. Then level it up once to learn Sketch again. And repeat the process with Yawn. That's probably the easiest way. Otherwise I haven't looked too much into the chains that would be possible.

gutten_tag Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 i think the most important part you should prepare first is breed a FEMALE piplup. All starter got 87,5% chance to be a male one, only 12,5% female. And if you want good IVs too- good luck with that. Other than that, the work is really simple. Do what McMc said, use Smeargle is the easiest way (you need only one breeding- other than that, you have to use multi-chain-breed with at least 3 breed times). So use MALE Smeargle, teach it Ice Beam (a lot harder than Agility), then breed with FEMALE piplup. And then you got it. But imo, Ice beam is the only thing Empoleon need. Agility is not useful as gen 3 anymore, and max speed empoleon with Modest nature is still fast enough to most cases in-game. And in the future, the best item you can use for Empoleon is Choice Spec, and these moveset: Hydropump or Surf/ Ice Beam/ Flash Cannon/ Grass Knot, and we don't have a slot for set up time like Agility. That's just my idea :v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UgandaPanda Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 thanks for the suggestions, my piplup is female so no problems there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
