What is a good moveset for Spiritomb?

0 votes

I know I'm skipping a ton of Pokemon but I wanted to do the moveset for this guy. It knows:

Will-o-wisp: Toxic burn, lowers foe's Attack.

Taunt: Stops the foe from using Stat moves.

Sucker Punch: STAB, good power, works well with Taunt, attacks first.

Pain Split: Good healing/damage dealing move.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I have an Attack EV trained Spiritomb.

I'm done with moveset questions for today. I think I've passed my limit actually.

Spiritomb Modest/Quiet Nature. EVs 252 HP, 252 Sp.Atk, 4 Def. Item Leftovers. Ability Pressure.

Hypnosis: YES.

Dream Eater: HAHAHAHAHAHA

Shadow Ball: Compliments other moves.

Pain Split/Hidden Power Fighting: More coverage or healing while doing damage, works well on high hp walls like vaporeon.

Ok i run this set with my Spiritomb, its a tankish thingy
enter image description here

Spiritomb @ Choice Scarf

Pressure

Careful Narure (+ Sp Def - Sp Atck ) (You will need Sp def because you already got will o wisp)

EVS: 252 Def / 252 Sp Def / 4 HP


  • Trick
    Ok this may be your first move, so you can break your opponent strategy fast, and then switch to a sweeper, or keep stalling

  • Sucker Punch
    Some priority can be helpful (You can also use shadow Sneak, has less power but it will ensure damage)

  • Will-O-Wisp
    Burn yer' foes, you can also predict a switch after using trick

  • Pain Split
    Recover from another poke's HP, you can also predict a switch too

Even with Pain Split, Max HP is pretty much obligatory.
It's still low enough to work well, and adds much greater bulk to it than some Def EVs.
I want the foe to get less hp, and that defenses absorb good damage

Spiritomb (M) @ Choice Band

Role: Tricky Kill'sya

Trait: Pressure

EVs: 56 HP / 252 Atk / 100 Def / 100 SDef

Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

  • Confuse Ray
  • Sucker Punch
  • Trick

Trick's the Band onto the Foe, Confuses whoever switches in, or the foe if he's good with staying in, Or Sucker Punch / Shadow Sneak sweep with Dual STAB, you're pretty tankish with the EV's and no weaknesses.

keep in mind that slept talk uses a RANDOM MOVE it will nt always use dark pluse as it has an 1/3 chance of doing that
Yeah, and it also has a 1/3 Chance of beasting up your stats again

Spiritomb Quiet/Modest Nature. EVs 252 HP, 252 Sp.Atk, 4 Def. Ability Pressure. Item Leftovers.

Dark Pulse/Shadow Ball depends on if you have trick room support, so does the nature.

Nastly Plot YES.

Psychic Gives coverage, nice move.

Hidden Power Fighting works well with the dark/ghost type move as well as psychic.

Seeing as he has no weaknesses, I say he is a Wallin' BOSS.

Spiritomb @ Lefties
252 Hp/4 Def/252 SDef
-Hypnosis
-Dream Eater
-Rest/Psychic
-Sleep Talk/Calm Mind

RestTalk if you think you are lucky and want to troll, Calm Mind and Psychic to be a good attacker.

My Spiritomb is pretty sick IMO:

Found my seed so its flawlessly bred. (31 IVs in each category)
Modest Nature
Holding Leftovers
148 Def EVs, 148 S.Def EVs, 212 S.Atk EVs

Dark Pulse - High Power STAB
Shadow Ball - High Power STAB
Nasty Plot - Its exactly what the name states
Im still trying to find a 4th move. For now, it has Psychic

Its final stats are:
241 HP
198 Atk
289 Def
300 S.Atk
289 S.Def
106 Spd

Its gonna tank basically anything thrown at it while it Nasty Plots its way to a 4x or maxed S.Atk.
