Likely tier: Neverused

Hey, trachy-Can you post a good moveset for a Seismitoad with the Lax Nature?  That'd be great.

---

I hate this guy. He is the only water type, other than Keldeo and Magikarp, to lack the move ice beam. You can't have a water type without ice beam!

makes up for it it sludge bomb/wave

Answer 1

Another pathetic Water/Ground type. They don't make them like they used to. This guys stats are automaticallly land him in Neverused, as only HP is above base 100. This means it is the only stat that can be above 300 at level 100 without the help of an item. Another major problem is the lack of stat raising moves, even Cheer Up, which might make this guy a better Neverused.

Ability: Water Absorb

EVs: HP, Attack, Sp Attack Nature: Brave/Quiet

Earthquake: A very powerful move, and STAB makes it even better.

Surf: STAB.

Sludge Wave: Used to deal with Grass types. The poison type version of Flamethrower and Ice Beam.

Drain Punch: Used to heal Gamageroge while doing decent damage to the foe.

only one problem if your last pokemon is  seismitoad and mine is vileplume and you have no ice attacks or flying or psychic and  sinds s.toad has 4x weakness from grass :)

---

Sometimes there's certain type or pokemon that will wall a set, but that seismitoad is your last pokemon is a lame and worthless excuse.

---

Another pathetic Water/Ground type?  PATHETIC?!?!  My Seismitoad, for your information, is my sole Pokemon Partner.  He's way better than one of those Samurott things.  I say that he's not pathetic AT ALL.  He's the complete opposite.

Answer 2

Seismitoad (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Poison Touch
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Poison Jab
- Aqua Ring
- Protect
- Drain Punch

Heal spam!

Leftovers and Aqua Ring let's you randomly spam leftovers for a big boost back to your HP. Poison Jab and Poison Touch work together for a great poison chance ( keep spamming protect ). Drain Punch is good coverage and will let you spam healing even more!

This guy is fun to troll with.

I liek this.

hmm I don't know about this one.. Any Poison or Ghost type could wall this completely.

Answer 3

Ability: Poison Hand
Nature: Brave
Poison Jab
Drain Punch
Earthquake
Surf

OR

Ability: Swift Swim
Nature: Naive/Hasty
Rain Dance
Surf/Scald
Earthquake
Slime Wave/Drain Punch

Answer 4

Seismitoad (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Swift Swim
EVs: 248 HP / 68 SAtk / 192 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Scald
- Earth Power
- Hyper Voice
- Grass Knot

Answer 5

Seismitoad (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SDef
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Stealth Rock
- Scald
- Earthquake
- Knock Off

This Seismitoad, when used in NU, is pretty damn hard to OHKO. It's defenses and HP stats aren't too shabby. Thanks to B2/W2, it got access to Stealth Rock, which is one of the reasons why a defensive set is a thing today. Scald bolsters its uninvested Defensive side. Earthquake's higher Power is more useful than Earth Power, and better STAB, imo. Knock Off helps the rather item dependant NU lose their Eviolites and Leftovers.

Answer 6

ability: swift swim

moves:

sludge wave: beats grass weakness

earthquake: great STAB

rain dance: powers surf, doubles speed to 148, and doesn't let thunder still hit

surf: super STAB

Answer 7

I actually like seismitoad.
Ability - Poison touch
Hydro pump - STAB
earthquake/dig/rock slide - STAB
drain punch - does alright damage whist healing yourself slightly
Venoshock - works well with the ability and good against grass types

Comments

rock slide is not stab for siesmitoad! he is a GROUND/Water, not a ROCK, Water

---

I like Seismitoad too!  Finally, a supporter!

Answer 8

Ability Swift Swim
Item Muscle Band
Rain Dance ( Increase Speed with swift swim)
Sludge Bomb ( Poison Foe)
Drain Punch ( Deal even more damage by taking away there health for you and more powerful since its a physical move and muscle band increases physical moves! and its just a powerful move)
Hydro Pump (STAB)

Comments

Drain Punch gives you 50% of the HP you dealt as damage to the foe. Try Big Root. Instead of 50%, you get 80%. (NOTE: the power does not increase, only the amount of HP you get back)

Answer 9

Here's my Seismitoad:

Ability: Poison Touch

EVs: HP, Sp. Atk. Nature: Modest

-Surf STAB
-Earth Power STAB, and chance to lower SP. Def.
-Grass Knot Coverage against other Water Types and contact with the ability Poison Touch
-Venoshock Coverage against Grass types, and Base Power doubles to 130 instead of 65 when poisoned.

Answer 10

Earthquake(STAB)
Scald/Surf(STAB +Scald can burn, Surf does more damage)

Answer 12

Seismitoad (M) @ Leftovers

Trait: Poison Touch

EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 SpDef

Quiet Nature (+SAtk, -Spd)

• Surf
• Sludge Wave
• Aqua Ring
• Protect

Answer 13

My moveset

Surf- STAB and HM
Earthquake- STAB
Rock slide- Coverage
Poison Jab- coverage

Answer 14

This is my Seismitoad:

Ability- Poison Touch, Item- Soft Sand, Sassy Nature, Evs in Attack and Special Attack.

1. Aqua Ring- restores HP. I think of it as a Leftovers. It's kept me alive in some situations.
2. Scald- Good STAB, also chance to burn.
3. Dig/Earthquake- Both of them are good STAB, but I prefer Dig for doubles, depending on its teammate. Also, Dig gives Poison Touch a chance to well... poison.
4. Poison Jab- Covers its single Grass Weakness, and has double the chance to poison both from the move and Poison Touch.
