Question

Mine knows:

Giga Impact: Complements Tauros's attack stat. Deals a huge amount of damage with STAB.

Swagger: Confuses the foe, making it less likely for the foe to attack Tauros after using Giga Impact.

Zen Headbutt: Good damage, decent accuracy, decent chance of making the foe flinch, used to deal with Fighting types.

Rock Tomb: Lowers the foe's Speed for sure.

Tauros (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Frustration
- Earthquake
- Outrage
- Stone Edge

Answer 1

Tauros is pretty fast already, I'd say it's good without rock tomb. Maybe have earthquake instead for a powerful move that doesn't require the charging like giga impact.

How about Earthquake instead of Rock Tomb. I've grown fond of the Giga Impact-Swagger strategy.

That's what I meant. Sorry if I made it seem like I was suggesting to delete Giga impact.

Now that I know that's what you meant, I'll put you in as the best answer.

Answer 2

Return(huge power and accuracy + stab)

Earthquake(major power and accuracy +awesome coverage)

Stone edge(awesome power and decent accuracy+great coverage)

Zen headbutt(covers super effective fighting)

Answer 3

Tauros (M) @ Wide Lens

Role: Low Acc Sweeper

Trait: Sheer Force

EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd

Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

• Iron Tail
• Rock Slide
• Zen Headbutt
• Return

---

Well, this is the way to affectively use Wide Lens.

Let all of your moves really need that accuracy boost.

Iron Tail is 100 Power coverage with A Sheer Force boost, and Rock Slide gets Sheer Force boost, alone with Zen Heabutt with Covers his only weakness and gets the Sheer Force Boost.
And Return is just awesome.

Answer 4

If you want a "classic set:"

Ability: Intimidate
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
Item: Salac/Leichi Berry/Leftovers
*Return
*Earthquake
*Stone Edge
*Zen Headbutt

If you want a more "creative" set (this is the one I have on my Platinum):

Ability: Anger Point
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
Item: Salac Berry
*Substitute
*Return
*Earthquake
*Zen Headbutt

Answer 5

Gen V

Tauros (M) @ Choice Band

Trait: Intimidate

EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd

Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)

• Outrage
• Stone Edge
• Earthquake
• Return

A surprise in the Uber enviroment, I used this guy on my Uber team before his position was usurped by Ditto. Sweeper EVs. Choice band lets it hit really hard. It can outspeed all of the Dragons in Ubers, and OHKO them (except for Dialga, who it 2HKOs with Earthquake.) Stone Edge deals with the Flying types of Ubers. Return provides powerful STAB, and a neutral hit on the rest of Ubers. Anger Point is unreliable, and Sheer Force can't be used with Outrage, so Intimidate is the way to go.

Answer 6

Double/Triple battle

Tauros (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Anger Point
EVs: 244 HP / 12 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Frustration

Set up Substitute. Then have a teammate (I use Cryogonal so I can also give screen help) use Frost Breath on Tauros. The Sub will take the damage. Then, Anger Point will activate. After that, sweep to your heart's content with Earthquake and Rock Slide KOing every one of your foes at once. Frustration is STAB.

Won't Anger Point not work behind a substitute?
