i have seen NO ga sugestions

Answer 1

Ice Beam\Giga Drain-Ice Beam for a chance to freeze and high accuracy,Giga Drain for good healing.Both will deal with ground types.

Toxic-What did you think?! NOTHING is as annoying as Bad Poison.

Shadow Ball-Good Power,High Accuracy and will deal with Psychic types.Keep it!

Gunk Shot-High Power,may I suggest some PP ups?

Answer 2

How about giga Drain for good healing. Gastro acid isnt that strong, maybe replace that for giga drain.

Comments

you realize Gastro Acid isnt an attack move to begin with, so its not really strong, its just strategically better in some ways. i do agree though giga drain is a good move for it

Answer 3

Good set, Maybe switch gastro acid for toxic.

Comments

I like Toxic, but is it the best choice with Sludge Bomb having a 30% chance of Poisoning the foe?

---

Good point. in that case, I would keep GA.

Answer 7

Swalot @ Black Sludge

Trait: Liquid Ooze

EVs: 192 HP / 64 Atk / 252 SpA

Quiet Nature (+SpA, -Spe)

• Sludge Bomb/Sludge Wave
• Ice Beam
• Giga Drain
• Earthquake

Sludge Bomb is STAB and has a nice chance to poison the opponent, and therefore is the preffered option. If you want, Sludge Wave has 5 more base power, but usually isn't worth it unless you're after some specific KOs.
Ice Beam hits Ground type switch ins and has good coverage.
Giga Drain is healing and come coverage.
Earthquake rounds out the coverage by hitting Steel types.
