What are some of the best Trick Room users? By that I mean the ones that learn it?

Question

I've used Reuniclus, Porygon2, Chandelure, and Meloetta already, but I'm kind of tired of these ones....except for Meloetta <3

So what would be some good ones? And can I get a moveset as well?

Comments

*Sends out Imprison Chandelure*

---

I think you mean Shadow Tag, because Imprison won't affect Victini much... In any case, Victini can just switch to Zen Headbutt or Bolt Strike. It'll be slower than Chandelure after 1 V-Create, which will happen, because Chandelure forfeits Flash Fire for Shadow Tag.

---

The main purpose of Chandy is come in on a Vcreate and use Imprison to shut down Trick room

---

So the process would go like this?
*Chandelure switch in
- Victini uses V-Create (Flash Fire activates)
* Imprision
- Zen Headbutt; Chandelure loses half of its health
- Victini switches out to Trace Porygon2 (good luck with that)

Jellicent is also a good candidate. If I wasn't lazy I'd  write a full answer.

Answer 1

I'll list the most common ones for each tier (including LC! lets not forget)

LC: Slowpoke, Munna, Porygon, Bronzor
- all are good users of Evolite, able to tank many hits, especially because of advantageous typing & abilities, in addition to reliable recovery moves for the 1st three

---

NU: Musharna, Beheeyem
- Musharna has decent bulk, access to some good moves like Calm Mind, Moonlight, Baton Pass & Dual Screens
- Beheeyem doesn't have very good defences, but being so slow, it can set up Trick Room itself and sweep, since it has a base sp. atk of 125, which is scary for OU, let alone NU

---

RU: Uxie, Slowking, Dusknoir & Whimsicott
- Uxie has really good bulk, access to Stealth Rock, Dual Screens, Heal Bell, Trick
- Slowking has good sp. def, Slack Off, Regenerator, meaning you can use it again to set up Trick Room
- Dusknoir again has good bulk, a spin blocker, good immunities, access to Pain Split & Will-O-Wisp
- Whimsicott isn't a common Trick Room set up, but because of Prankster it'll still go first in most cases, able to Encore trap & Leech Seed stall before escaping

---

UU: Dusclops, Cofagrigus, Slowbro & Porygon2
- evo. Dusclops makes a very nice wall; good bulk access Pain Split & Will-O-Wisp
- Cofagrigus is arguably a better wall that Dusclops, since it has leftovers recovery, and the ever useful Haze; also can be used offensively with Nasty Plot, Shadow Ball & HP Fighting
- Slowbro is a common UU/OU wall, makes a nice pair with Blissey/ Chansey; Regenerator and Slack Off mean you'll be able to use it more than once
- Proygon2 has very good bulk with Evolite, in addition to a good sp. atk of 105, and though Trick Room would forfeit Analytic, Porygon2 has the benefit of using Trick Room itself in order to sweep

---

OU (& UU as well): Bronzong, Cresselia
- Bronzong has good bulk & typing, advantageous ability in Levitate, meaning only 1 weakness, access to Stealth Rock, Dual Screens & Explosion
- Cresselia has really good bulk, good support moves like Lunar Dance, Dual Screens and Icy Wind (for doubles)

Comments

I have to say this is the best of the three so far. Since I can't give BA on these questions I don't think

---

(Forgot about Porygon2 in UU; added)

Answer 2

Cresselia is boss.

Cresselia @ Sitrus Berry/Mental Herb
Trait: Levitate
Modest nature
EVs: 220 Hp/184 Def/ 104 SDef
- Trick Room
- Icy Wind
- Psyshock
- Hidden Power Fire

Not too fast. Most people would expect to outspeed Cress. Maybe it should be Quiet or Relaxed or Sassy or SOMETHING besides Modest.

---

@Dudepad: it has 157 Speed at Quiet Nature and minimum Speed IVs @ Level 100

---

This is my Cress in Doubles not really focused on outspeeding anything since she supports my team -.- Nature was just to get a Clear 2HKO on Scizor/Ferro.

---

Support Cress is one set you will see quite often. Some people run CM Cress as a wall sweeper as well.

---

Just a quick note that the title of noob doesn't go with experience. Someone who simply lacks experience due to just starting out is known as a newb or nube. A noob is someone who is just bad at something even though they have done it long enough that they should know what they are doing.

Answer 3

I would try a Musharna. After all, it is incredibly slow but with high defense and special defense. A good moveset would be:

Shadow Ball: Good Defense Against Ghosts.

Psychic: Good Psychic Attack

Energy Ball: For The Fast Ground Or Water Types

And, obviously Trick Room.

Hope this helps!

Comments

Hmmmmmmm, I never considered an NU Poke to do well in OU Trick Room. I'll try that!

---

You should add EVs for Mushrana's set. Also, her current moves are kinda just random.

Calm Mind, Signal Beam, Psychic, Trick Room
Calm Mind, Signal Beam, Baton Pass, Trick Room
^ one of those two for a Trick Room set would be best

---

Musharna isn't a good choice in the higher tiers actually. It's pretty much outclassed by such Pokemon as Slowbro and Slowking, and doesn't have the defensive might of a Cressalia.
