Question

There aren't really many ways the phrase the question but whatever. I still think this should be an Unown evolution...

Likely tier: Underused

Answer 1

Sigilyph seems like a nice special sweeper with good type coverage.

EVs: Speed and SpAtk
Ability: Magic Guard + holding Life Orb

• Psychic
• Ice Beam
• Energy Ball
• Psycho Shock (great cover for pokemon high on the SpDef like Blissey)

Or get a Thunder Wave in there somewhere.

Answer 2

Sigilyph (M) @ Lum Berry
Trait: Tinted Lens
EVs: 4 Def / 248 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Psyshock
- Air Slash
- Ice Beam
- Charge Beam

Answer 3

Nature: Timid. EVs: 4 HP, 252 Sp.Atk, 252 Speed. Item: Life Orb. Ability: Magic Guard.

Hypnosis: Correct

Dream Eater: YES

Show ball: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hidden Power Fighting/Flash Cannon: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Hmhm, if you can get your hands on a 70 base power HP fighting that's good but Flash Cannon is a little big stronger but covers 2 weaknesses instead of 3.

Comments

can i just say that saying "yes" and "correct" and "HAHAHAHAHA" doesn't tell why you are using the move?

lmao xD

Answer 4

I run My Sigilyph with this moveset, it has magic guard

Sigilyph @ Leftlovers / Custap Berry

Evs Def / Sp Def

• Cosmic Power ( Defense Boost )
• Roost ( Cover the Hp loss )
• Stored Power ( It has awesome power once reached the +6 boots on all defenses )
• Air Slash ( Coverage ) / Toxic ( Stalling ) / Psycho Shift (If Holding any of the Status Orbs)

Answer 5

Here are two Stored Power sets: Defensive Inclined and Offensive Inclined

Defensive Inclined
Ability: Magic Guard
Nature: Calm (+SpD, -Atk)
EVs: 252 HP, 252 SpD, and 4 Def
Item: Flame Orb
- Stored Power
- Psycho Shift
- Roost
- Cosmic Power

Offensive Inclined
Ability: Magic Guard
Nature: Bold (+Def, -Atk)
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, and 4 SpD
Item: Flame Orb
- Stored Power
- Psycho Shift
- Roost
- Calm Mind

The point of these sets is to pass the burn from Flame Orb to your opponent. Then you start using either Calm Mind or Cosmic Power. When low on HP use Roost to heal. Then use Stored Power to finish the opponent. The only recommendation is to have a Fighting type on your team to cover the Dark types that these sets can't defeat.

Answer 6

ability: wonder skin/tinted lens

moves:

flash cannon: beats rock and ice weakness

shadow ball: great against other psychics or ghosts

air slash: stab

psychic/psyshock: stab to lower sp.def OR to attack the ones with high sp.def

Answer 7

My current Sand Sigilyph

Sigilyph (M) @ Life Orb

Trait: Magic Guard

EVs: 4 HP / 16 Def / 236 SAtk / 16 SDef / 236 Spd

Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

• Psyshock
• Shadow Ball
• Energy Ball
• Roost

Magic Guard lets you not take Sandstorm damage, Hail damage if someone takes that approach as a counter, and gives you a damage free Life orb set.
Psyshock hits for STAB, and I prefer it to Psychic. Shadow Ball covers other Psychics, and other Sigilyphs. Energy Ball gives great coverage, and roost can get you some Hp back if you take a hit.

Answer 8

Sigilyph is quite a useful Pokemon that can be overlooked. It's strong and has a a wide movepool. This set could be useful in which it can take stuff out quite quickly.

Sigilyph: Special Sweeper
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
Nature: Modest (+SpAtk,-Atk), Mild (+SpAtk,-Def), Rash (+SpAtk,-SpDef)
Characteristic: +Special Attack or +Speed
Moveset:
Psychic - STAB, chance of lowering Special Defense
Air Slash - STAB, chance of flinching
Ice Beam/Flash Cannon - Coverage, chance of freezing/Coverage, chance of lowering Special Defense
Calm Mind - Raises Special Attack and Special Defense to make it a better sweeper

Answer 9

Thunder Wave: to cause a status problem
Air Slash: STAB, strong(est) Sp. Attack move, may cause flinching
Flash Cannon: to cover Rock and Ice-type weaknesses
Psychic: STAB, strong(est) Sp. Attack move, accuracy 100, may lower target's Sp. Defense

Sigilyph is a very good Pokémon, with high Def/Sp. Atk/Sp. Def stats and a very high Speed stat.

Answer 10

all I can do is laugh

• dark pulse(covers ghost and gets other psychics)
• air slash(STAB)
• psychic(STAB)
• ice beam (covers rock)

Comments

Rock covers Ice, not other way around.
