More Pokemons

[thenekomancer]

I find it a little odd to write so much about a series I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan of. I guess I have no other outlet. Anyway I "beat the game" so I'll recap my team as it stands now. I'll also be kind and put in a break this time. Some slight spoilers as well.

Excadril is a beast, but he really needs a sandstorm to do his best. Krookadile however, is just awesome. I mean, is Excadril a crocodile with badass shades? Nope.

Yeah I agree, Krookodile is awesome. Looking at his weaknesses and available move pool, I am considering the following:

Earthquake- One of the game's most feared moves, and great STAB power. Gotta be careful in doubles battles tho. Pairing him with Eelektross might be insane fun.
Foul Play- I'm curious about this one. It says damage is based on the target's ATT stat. But the attack itself has a higher base ATT than Crunch. Does that guarantee it will always too more damage than Crunch? Though weaker, Crunch is still a pretty useful attack.
Aerial Ace- Not really strong, and kind of odd, but it covers bug, fighting and grass types. At least it's a physical attack, where Krook does well.
Stone Edge/Grass Knot- Hard to decide here. Stone Edge is a great physical attack, and will cover ice as well as bug. But, I dunno if you run into ice types all that often, so much as bulky water types that know Ice Beam. So in that regard, Grass Knot would be more useful. But it's an SP attack so Krook can't use it with as much potential.

Ferrothorn holding a Rocky Helmet is extremely popular - both with other people and with NPCs in the Battle Subway. Try it out if Serperior seems boring. He's great at taking hits, but I think his only recovery moves are Ingrain or Leech Seed.
