Beedrill (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Swarm
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Agility
- Acrobat
- X-Scissor
- Poison Jab

Answer 1

It is a Very Good moveset for Beedrill, as it covers both of it's STAB and has a balance of a healing move. the only recommendation I have would be to replace twineedle with either X-Scissor (EV's in Atk) or U-Turn (It can be used for scouting while dealing a decent amount of damage)

Answer 2

Poison Jab-STAB.

Tailwind-Gives him and his teammates a bit of a speed boost.

X-Scissor/U-turn-STAB; deals with psychic weakness

Brick Break-Cover rock weakness,

It's sad that he has access to a few things like toxic spikes, agility, Swords dance, and roost, but still can't use them very effectively.

Answer 3

Gen V

Beedrill (M) @ Focus Sash

Trait: Swarm

EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd

Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

• Acrobatics
• Agility
• X-Scissor
• Poison Jab

Okay, first thing you do is use Agility. Your opponent is likely going to activate your Focus Sash. You now have a pretty powerful sweeper. X-Scissor will do good damage thanks to STAB and Swarm, as will Acrobatics thanks to a lack of an item once Focus Sash has been used. Poison Jab provides STAB also.

Answer 4

Beedrill (M) @ Focus Sash

Role: Lead

Trait: Swarm

EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd

Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)

• Toxic Spikes
• U-turn
• Tailwind
• Poison Jab

---

Faster than the more bulkish leads, although not faster than most sweepers.

His main role is to set up the ever so annoying toxic spikes.

And if he is some how still alive after 2 Toxic Spikes set up Tailwind, and then U-turn his butt out of there.

Poison Jab added for a little bit of Extra STAB in there.

Answer 5

Gen III

Beedrill (F) @ Lum Berry

Ability: Swarm

EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd

Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)

• Swords Dance
• Sludge Bomb - Physical
• Twineedle - Physical
• Brick Break - Physical

---

Sweeper, Nough said.

Swords Dance increases Attack, and then Sludge Bomb and Twineedle give STAB and Brick Break gives Coverage.

Comments

sludge bomb is special :P

---

Nope, this is Gen III

Answer 6

Double/Triple Battle

Beedrill (M) @ Focus Sash

Trait: Swarm
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Acrobatics
- Endeavor/Poison Jab
- U-turn
- Tailwind

I'm surprised that I have taken a liking to Beedrill, Single and Multi. This set is riskier in Multi Battle, as Focus Sash can easily be taken down if two oppponents choose to attack you. However, Beedrill's weakness makes it unlikely that they'll do so, being so unafraid of it. That is their downfall. You set up Tailwind, and now you have high Speed, and a decent attack boosted by Swarm and a nice Acrobatics boost. Acrobatics works great, being coverage with high power and being able to hit any foe in a Triple Battle. Endeavor can be used quite well, lowering a bulky foe down to 1 HP to be taken down by another teammate. Or you can use Poison Jab for STAB. U-Turn gets you a nice powerful hit thanks to STAB and Swarm. You get your weak Beedrill out of there, doing a nice chunk of damage in the process. This set has one advantage from being in a multi-battle that it wouldn't have in a single battle, and that is that priority is not as big a problem, as you can team Beedrill up with a Quick Guard user.

Answer 7

Doubles / Triples

Beedrill (M) @ Liechi Berry
Trait: Swarm
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- X-Scissor
- Substitute
- Acrobatics
- Poison Jab

If you have a team mate with Tailwind, that's useful.
Sub down to your Liechi Berry then hit what you can with Acrobatics and dual STAB.

Answer 8

behavior= naughty
moves

roost

Answer 9

What's that? Make a gimmicky set? Okay! :D

---

Image is slightly inappropriate, but very necessary.
Because this thing screws. ( If you're lucky.. )

---

Beedrillin you! @ Razor Claw ( If playing friends who won't know.. ) / Life Orb
Ability: Sniper
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP / 252 ATK / SPD

Focus Energy - Enter the gimmick. Increase your crit rate for Sniper

Twineedle -You get to attack twice meaning you get 2 chances for a crit.

Poison Jab - STAB and a more reliable fall back if you need one.

Brick Break - Cover up your age. ( Coverage )

Answer 10

OK Beedrill is know as a tragic case of a bug sweeper who never really tried, which is sad since I quite like him on the field of NU. I will go through some things to show off Beedrill in anyway I can. hope you enjoy.

Summary; a classic NU bug sweeper that has been around for ages....and still fails to do much,its really not fit for major battles. Although it seems to become ever so slightly more effective it is still shadowed by most of the NU tier....and most Pokemon otherwise. Its not all bad news, but it still shoudn't be used without a genuine purpose

Pros: although its stats are pretty poor, its attack power isn't too bad and its movepool is actually rather decent.

Cons: poor typing, low stats, loads of counters,KO'ed in a heartbeat, I could go on and on. but I'm not going to, because I'm supposed to be trying to help beedrills chances....that's going well...

I created a few movesets to maximize its chances and give you some choice in the matter.

Beedrill @ Life Orb
Trait: Sniper
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- Drill Run
- Poison Jab
- X-Scissor/U-turn
- Brick Break/Endeavour

This set is basically a baton pass receiver. Ninjask remains in NU, so if you can this set is made to take advantage of him. Drill run makes sure it's not completely defenceless against fire types. And a mix of other moves will provide a good battle coverage. So it could be worse.

Beedrill @ Focus Sash
Trait: Swarm
EVs: 150 Spd / 150 Atk / 208 HP
Adamant Nature
- Agility/Swords Dance
- Poison Jab/Toxic Spikes/Toxic
- X-Scissor
- Brick Break/Drill Run

OK so this takes advantage of the fact that it can no longer be KOed instantly. It's your choice out of agility or swords dance. its EV's look odd but it does help with it trying to last a while.

---

Beedrill @ Black Sludge
Trait: Swarm
EVs: 150 Spd / 70 Atk / 208 HP / 80 SDef
Jolly Nature
- Toxic Spikes/Toxic
- U-turn/Protect
- Endeavor/Drill run
- Brick Break

This may look odd, but Beedrill is very opportunistic is the right situations. Toxic spikes will make your opponent less willing to switch into something more dangerous, while Toxic+black sludge+Protect is pretty good too.The rest is just too make sure its not countered or walled to easily.

---

Right that's it. My analysis on Beedrill is complete. I hope this may of helped in deciding if Beerill is worth it. Hope you like!

PX ;}

Comments

Not worth using in any situations.

---

What about in a mono-Beedrill battle?

---

;_; Seriously?

---

Now your just being mean...if you don't like it that's your opinion. I don't do this for points, I do it to try to be helpful. if you don't think it is that's your problem,not mine. Criticism is fine, just tell me what's wrong instead of complaining OK? I know I'm not that good at but that's why I'm doing them, so I don't dissapoint in the future. Sorry for the long comment

---

The first set is baws :D
Anywayz, not a fan of Beedrill but...Beedrill FTW :D

---

I wasn't talking about your sets, I was talking about Beedrill, dammit. Learn how to read. Also, it's outclassed by any Pokemon in NU, which means that it's not worth using.

Answer 11

Beedrill moveset:
Giga Drain: Used for healing
Sludge Bomb: STAB, chance to poison
Twineedle: STAB, another good chance to poison
Endeavor: Used to equal the foes hp, only if higher

Item: Focus Sash, used for Endeavor
Doesn't matter which ability
Doesn't matter which nature or characteristic
Hope this helps!
