Answer 1

I think Nageki has morepromise than this guy. However, this guy is okay.

Ability: Mold Breaker

EVs: Attack, Speed, HP Nature: Adamant

Earthquake: A classic way to make use of Mold Breaker.

Stone Edge: Deal with Flying types.

Endure: You'll see why soon.

Reversal: For massive power with Endure. Make sure to hold a Salac Berry.

Answer 2

Sawk (M) @ Salac Berry

Role: 1 HP Sweeper

Trait: Sturdy

EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd

Jolly Nature (+Atk, -SDef)

• Work Up
• Reversal
• Earthquake
• Stone Edge

---

Okay, I want to start by noting that I drained all of his IV's in Defense and Special Defense.

Use Work Up on the First turn to get an Attack boost ( The Defense boost would hinder the strategy from bulk up, so I used work up ) And Then Get down to 1 Hp with Sturdy, Salac Berry Increases your Speed, and you have a 200 Power Reversal, plus STAB is like 250. With Earthquake and Stone Edge as Coverage, Although this Sawk is easily bested by priority, he rocks for some late game Sweeping.

jolly nature...
so wrong
jolly= +speed - spattk

Answer 3

Sawk (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Mold Breaker
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Poison Jab

It major sucks that I had to settle for Poison Jab on the last move, but this guy rocks as a scarfer with that 383 attack stat and only decent speed.

Close Combat is STAB and you just have to hope that Scarf does it's job well after you use it -- Edge-Quake coverage. ( E-quake also can cover more with Mold Breaker )
And Poison Jab is a filler slot.

Answer 4

Hmm, I've never played Pokemon Black and White and we haven't realize all move ability yet. Anyway due to our current information, I think

Stone Egde is good against Flying type pokemon
Payback for physic type pokemon
close combat (the powerful fighting move)
the last move I don't know :p maybe you should use Vengeance ( the new move)

Sorry about if I'm wrong, please let me know :) thanks

Comments

In a single battle, Vegeance won't be very useful. I think it will work on the first turn you switch in (assuming one of your pokemon fainted) but after that regular power.

Answer 7

Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Reversal

Comments

Focus Sash on a pokemon that could have Sturdy?
You'd be better off using Study and something like a Muscle band, as Mold Break only supports Earthquake.

oh I though it also lets fighting types hit ghosttypes :P

That's Scrappy, Tysonyoshi.

Answer 8

Physical Sweeper
Sawk (M) @ Leftovers or Expert Belt
Nature: Any nature the Sawk has when you caught it.
Ability: Inner Focus
-Close Combat/Giga (Good moves. Even in spite of the Defence and Sp. Def decrease on C.C.)
-Poison Jab (To poison enemies)
-Rock tomb (Covers Flying weakness. Also slows down your enemy)
-Payback (Covers Phsychic weakness)
The best stats to raise would be: Attack (To do even more damage), Defence (To last Against Brave Bird, Wing Attack and so on) and Sp. Def. (To last against those psychic moves. Also to last aganst Air slash) Wow this was a big answer in my opinion.

Answer 9

Sawk the Swepper
Nature - Adamant
Ability - Mold Breaker
Item - Choice Scarf
Moveset
Close Combat - Against dark types, steel types, rock types, ground types etc...
Stone Edge - Against flying types, fire types, psychic types, Bug types, Ghost types etc..
Ice Punch - Against grass types, Dragon Types.
Earthquake - Kills almoust everything.
The strategy is after you use Close combat you have to switch because your stats goes down but a very well played strategy with this moveset you can clean almost every team.
