Question

Mine has the ability Technician. It is EV trained more in its defensive stats. It knows:

Fake Out: Attacks first, high accuracy, causes flinching, STAb, power boosted by Technician.

Brick Break: Decent power, high accuracy, breaks through Light Screen and Reflect, deals with Rock and Steel types.

Payback: Used to deal with Ghost types, improved by Technician which also helps if Ambipom is attacked first.

Taunt: Stops the foe from using Stat moves.

Fake-out
U-turn
Payback
Double-hit/Low-sweep

---

Fake-out flinches with some pretty high power when you add up Normal gem(for the first time), STAB, and Technician. U-turn is for switching so you can repeat the process again. Payback is for Ghost types. Double-hit would be for Sub-breaking and STAB while Low-sweep is coverage.

Comments

More people should take advantage of double hit, if you have a monkey with technician, it's about 160 BP (STAB included)

Answer 4

My favourite second favourite Pokemon in UU!

Ambipom (M) @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Technician
EVs: 176 Atk, 128 Def, 128 Sp. Def, 76 Spd OR 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 4 HP
Nature: Adamant (+ Atk, -Sp. Atk)
- Fake Out
- Facade
- Low Sweep
- Fling/Switcheroo

Fake Out is a must-have on this guy, the +3 priority allows it to surpass moves such as Mach Punch as it causes the opponent to flinch, wasting one turn and getting the Toxic Orb working. Since it's base power is 40, Technician increases this to 80, and along with STAB makes it a good first move. Since the Toxic Orb has Poisoned Ambipom, Facade's power becomes extremely high with STAB benefit. Low Sweep is also a very good option to use to clean up Steel or Rock Pokemon who would otherwise wall Ambipom. It is Technician-run giving it a base of 120 power. Fling once again is powered by Technician and Poisons the opponent, making it a better option than Toxic. Since it is Dark, Ghost types hopefully will cop a bit of damage, as they are one of the only things that will stop him. Switcheroo is also an option, giving the opponent a useless Poisoned stat, whist Ambipom benefits from the opponent's item.

As you can see the core of success for this set is Technician. Pretty much the only thing that will stop this guy is a Ghost type, as Fling won't be sweeping it.

Hmm IEEE

Whats with the wacky EV spread?

Mostly because I want some bulk on. Max out his Attack and Speed as a replacement.

Answer 5

Special Based Monkey
Item: Choice-specs
Ability: Technician
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 S.Attack, 252 Speed, 6 Hp

---

Swift
Thunderbolt
Hidden-power(Fire/Fighting/Ice)
Shadow-ball

---

With Choice-specs his S.Attack becomes pretty good. Swift has 90 Base-power with Technician so it is great STAB. Thunderbolt is coverage. Hidden-power(Fire/Fighting/Ice) it depends on the needs of your team, if you get the IVs just right you can get a Technician boost for Hidden-power to get it 90 base-power, coverage. Shadow-ball is coverage.

Also a note: You could swap Specs for Focus-sash and Shadow-ball for Nasty-plot.

Answer 9

Gen. IV
Ambipom (M) Normal gem.
Ability: Technician
-Double hit
-Swift
-Double Team/Shadow Ball/Substitute
-Focus Punch
You can switch double team for substitute if you're willing to risk hp for a sure focus punch, or shadow ball to cover ghost types and for competative play.

Comments

Double Team is banned in competative play.

Well... shadow ball to cover ghost types.

Answer 10

This is my Ambipom:

Ambipom @ Flying-Gem
Ability: Technician
Nature: Jolly (+Spd -SpAtk)
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
- Fake Out - 100% flinch when start the battle, gains STAB, Technician boost.
- Double Hit - Gains STAB, Technician boost and it hits two times so will deals a great amount of damage. See: STAB + Technician = Doubled power. Base power = 35 x 2 = 70. It hits two times so will have: 70 x 2 = 140 base power ! Incridible !
- Acrobatics - For Fighting-types. Acrobatics have 55 base power. With Flying-Gem will boost +1/2 of the base power resulting with 1 1/2 base power = 82.5 base power. Once Flying-Gem is used it will disappear making the Acrobatics's skill activate doubling it's base power: 82.5 x 2 = 165 base power.
- Payback - For Ghost-types and for guys that will outspeed him.

Ambipom @ Normal Gem
Ability: Technician
Nature: Jolly (+Spd -SpAtk)
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
- Thunder Wave - For paralyzing.
- Agility - To up his speed and Baton Pass it.
- Baton Pass - To pass Agility's boosts.
- Taunt - To don't be taunted and make him a trash.

Answer 11

My Ambipom acts as good overall coverage and a baton passer when he can't do anything.

Ability - Technician
Item - Normal Gem

Fake Out
Double Hit
Nasty Plot
Baton Pass

If your opponent isn't resistant or immune to normal type, Fake out followed by Double Hit with stab, technician, and the normal gem on the fake out is devastating. Because he has great speed he will generally pull off the double hit first too and if you're Ambipom is offensive you should get off a great deal of damage. When Ambipom is stopped by a steel, rock, or ghost type, his speed comes into play again. If he can take a hit and pass of nasty plot to a prime sp. attacker you're golden.

Answer 12

A good move set is

Double-hit

thunder

iron tail

hyper beam

Comments

You shouldn't just use all-out powerful moves; they are often bad moves. You should use technique and strategy, like the sets above.

---

I agree

---

double-hit - weak
thunder- inaccurate
iron tail- inaccurate
hyper beam- recharge, inaccurate

---

Less power, more strategy. I agree with Fizzcube.

Haha negative 4 votes?
