What is a good moveset for Xatu?

3 votes

Mine has the ability Synchronize. It knows:

Psychic: Good power, chance to lower Sp. Def, high accuracy, STAB.

Ominous Wind: Decent power, high accuracy, chance to increase all stats, used to deal with Ghost types.

Roost: Used to heal Xatu.

Refresh: Used to get rid of status problems after they have been transferred to the foe.

Why was your question voted down? I'll vote it back up for you.
I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm asking these types of questions a lot. The only reason I am doing this is to help people, those who want good movesets for their Pokemon can just go to my questions and find the moveset that works best for them. Either that, or people are voting things down for no reason again.
i would personally go with
psychic
shadow ball
acrobatics
roost

I would give him this set:

Psychic:good power, STAB, lower SP Def

Shadow ball- better power than ominous wind- (10% to raise stats isn't that dependable

Roost- healing

Refresh-Healing status moves.
