Answer 1

Arbok (M) @ Black Sludge

Role: Tank

Trait: Shed Skin

EVs: 64 HP / 128 Atk / 64 Def / 252 SDef

Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)

• Rest
• Coil
• Gunk Shot
• Crunch

---

With Ev's in Special Defense Plus Coil Boosts to his Regular Defense, He makes a great tank.

Rest is there because with Shed Skin, it becomes mega Beastly.

Gunk Shot for STAB and Crunch For Coverage.

Answer 2

I would recommend replacing Giga Drain with Ice Fang(to take advantage of Arbok's higher Atk than Sp. Atk)and still cover the ground weakness and it does more base damage(Giga Drain-60...Ice Fang-65)

Answer 3

Gen V

Arbok(M) @ Black Sludge

Ability:Intimidate

EVs:252 Attack / 128 Defense/ SDef 128

Adamant Nature(+Attack, -SAttack)

• Gunk Shot
• Crunch
• Ice Fang
• Coil

Comments

that is what i have only for i have shed skin makes it better

Answer 4

Gen V

Arbok (M) @ Black Sludge

Trait: Shed Skin

EVs: 160 HP / 176 Atk / 136 Def / 36 SDef

Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)

• Coil
• Earthquake
• Gunk Shot
• Rest

Coil raises Attack, Defense, and Accuracy by one stage each. This makes it into a nice little tank, especially with the EVs given. Earthquake provides type coverage. Gunk Shot is high powered STAb, which gets an accuracy boost from Coil. Rest works to keep Arbok tanking away, as Shed Skin helps wake it up. Black Sludge also provides Arbok with healing.

Answer 5

Basic, generic Sweeper

Poison Jab/Gunk Shot-STAB. Poison stab isn't the most frequently used, so GS might have some use.

sucker punch/Pursuit/crunch-Give priority and protection against psychic types.

Earthquake/Seed bomb/ aqua tail/fire fang/ice fang/dragon tail-Type coverage as you see fit.

Haze/Switcheroo/glare-Haze resets stat abuse, and switcheroo can be used to give your opponent a bad item. Glare slows the opponent down.

Answer 6

Gunk shot-Good Power

Crunch or TM Dark Pulse-Both cover for Psychic weakness

Ice fang-Covers for Ground weakness

Not sure.You can choose.Edit:Maybe Toxic?

May I suggest getting some PP ups for Gunk Shot,since it only has 5PP?

Answer 7

Arbok @black sludge
Ablity Intimidate
EVs:252 def 252 sp def 4 sp.atk
Bold nature (+def -atk)

• stockpile (get that defense up)
• Giga drain (the foe finally gets past stockpile boosts then get it all back with this move)
• Toxic (STALL)

• venoshock (DIE)

  A baisic stockpile wall/annoyer

Comments

Arbok has a much higher attack than sp attack.

---

this set is mainly dedicated to stockpile walling giga drain being used as when hes about to die to last a little longer really stalling is the main concern in this set

Answer 8

Gen III

Arbok (M) @ Leftovers

Ability: Shed Skin

EVs: 252 Atk / 128 Def / 128 SDef

Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)

• Rest
• Sludge Bomb - Physical
• Earthquake - Physical
• Stockpile

---

Shed Skin + Rest makes for great tanking, and Stock Pile increases your Defenses.
Now you have a STAB Sludge Bomb, and Earthquake coverage.

Comments

great idea because sludge bomb is phisical make use for it whal u can

---

That would be good except Stockpile doesn't increase defenses in Gen III. So basically you're just wasting a move there where you could add Ice Fang or Crunch to cover a weakness.

Answer 9

Item: Leftovers
Ability: Shed-skin/Intimidate
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 200 Attack, 252 Speed, 58 S.Defense

---

Coil
Sucker-punch
Earthquake
Poison-jab

---

This is a bulky-sweeper set, Coil is for boosting Defense and Attack (Acc. is boosted to but that does not help much on this set). Sucker-punch is priority and coverage. Earthquake is coverage. Poison-jab is STAB.

Answer 10

Double/Triple Battle

Arbok (M) @ Black Sludge

Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 152 HP / 252 Atk / 104 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
- Coil/Protect
- Gunk Shot

Intimidate hits all the foes, so that gives Arbok some bulk. This can allow you to set up Coil, although that is still risky. So Protect can be used instead of Coil, to protect you from your team's attacks such as Earthquake or your foe's attacks such as Earthquake. Rock Slide and Earthquake are both great moves in multi-battle, and give great coverage. Gunk Shot is STAB, and if you use Coil will be made more accurate.

Answer 11

Adamant: nature

Item: Black Sludge (great combo with ability)

Ability: Shed Skin (goes good with item)

My Arbok knows:

Gunk Shot-Stab, Powerful

Crunch-Takes out weakness

Earthquake-Awesome move, takes out many types

Seed Bomb-Takes out Ground weakness (or MAYBE rock slide during double/triple battles)
