What is a good moveset for Torkoal?

1 vote

It knows:

Sunny Day: Powers up Heat Wave, charges Solarbeam.

Solarbeam: High power, high accuracy, charged by Sunny Day, used to deal with Rock, Ground, and Water types.

Heat Wave: High power, powered up by Sunny Day, decent accuracy, chance to burn, STAB.

Gyro Ball: Powerful with Torkoal's low Speed. Also deals with Rock types.

Torkoal (M) @ Focus Sash
Trait: White Smoke
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SAtk
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Stealth Rock
- Yawn
- Rapid Spin
- Overheat

An excellent lead set. Stealth Rock and Yawn work well together. Rapid Spin removes entry hazards that the foe is likely to set up. Overheat takes down common Steel tyype leads such as Ferrothorn and Forretress, as well as taking down leads like Roserade.

This is the exact moveset for my torkoal, never lost a battle with it. Some other moves might be earthquake or amnesia to dominate his stats. Yawn +protect is also a cheap strategy to do with him.

Torkoal @ Iron Ball
Abilty: White Smoke
EVs: 252 Def - 200 SDef - 28 Atk - 28 SAtk
Nature : brave (+ Atk -Spd)
Curse - power up
Gyro Ball - Curse powers it
Earthquake - coverage

Problem with this set its a mixed set. I couldn't find any good fire Physical stabs the only one found was flame charge which lowers gyro balls power

Torkoal (M) @ Leftovers
enter image description here
Trait: Shell Armor
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Lava Plume-(Stab)
- Hidden Power [Grass]-(Coverage)
- Rapid Spin-(Ruins Entry Hazards)
- Yawn

Lava Plume Is a Powerful STAB, Hidden Power grass covers all your weaknesses.Rapid spin clears away Entry Hazards,Yawn whats better than a sleeping Poke that takes damage/Dont attack back?

YOU NEED EARTHQUAKE. FOR ONE REASON IT ROCKS, BUT I THINK YOU KNOW WHY I SAY EARTHQUAKE!! Maybe you should take out gyro ball for it!! Earthquake will still deal with rock type pokemon, but it is super effective on 4 types other than rock.
