What are some of the best move combos in Pokemon you have found? (page 11)

Question

I breed Pokemon in the game and am pretty good at IVs and EVs and such. I have thought of a few good tactics, such as

• Safe Guard and Outrage/Petal Dance/Thrash (avoids confusion ailment)
• Mimic and Imprison (permanent Disables last move)
• Swagger/Flatter and Psych Up/Haze (either gives you upped stats or resets theirs)
• Defense Curl followed by Roll Out (makes roll out stronger)
• Rain Dance and Thunder (Thunder never misses)
• Belly Drum and Rest (works best with a chesto berry. Maximizes attack)
• Sunny Day and Solar Beam (solar beam no longer needs to charge)
• Endure and Flail/Reversal (makes the attack moves really strong compared to normal)

What are some of the best move combos that you have found so far? :D
Explain your choices, and why they make good combos.

Please read all the answers before posting, to avoid duplicate answers. Yes, all 200+ of them.

And no full on movesets either, there are separate questions for that :-)

Comments

yeah. I kind of find that crazy.  just the average wanting to know something, and he/she makes 180 points on his/her only question as well as it being the most answered AND most voted (at 200, the second most being 86) post in the history of the pokebase. Jealous. Also to the people that asked why he/she only has 200 points on his/her wall, you can only receive a maximum of 200 points via upvotes from a single post.

Answer 1

I just found one but its bad a little I think. Octillery with moody ability with these following moves

Scald:May burn and STAB
Ice beam: Grass Coverage and Can hit dragon types
HP Ground: Electric coverage deals with fire rock steel either
Protect: Makes moody increase random stats and doesnt gets damaged

I know you said no moveset but in conclusion Moody / Protect

Answer 2

Z-calm mind and shell smash. (this works on Minior)
Use 3 shell smashes then use Z-calm mind to reset all stat drops=MAX ATTACK, SPECIAL ATTACK AND SPEED!!!
Search up what is the best moveset for minior and go to my answer for more details.

Answer 3

On smeargle @quick claw:

• Seed flare: to lower special defence, as well as high power./parabolic charge: heals yourself
• magma storm: traps opponent in, good damage
• orgin pulse: hits all adjacent opponents, good damage.
• core enforcer: gets rid of dragons, removes abillity/ last resort: high power/king’s shield

The fire water grass/electric combo(he was asking for best move combos)!

Comments

Smeargle’s isn’t very good at attacking. And this doesn’t really fit the thread.

Answer 4

This one isn't for having a great strategy, but rather to make your opponent throw their game ds/3ds/switch at the wall.

1. Catch a Shuckle (make sure it has the ability sturdy)

2. Get it to level 100 (you see where I'm going)

3.Teach it iron defense (you know, to raise that defense), rollout (when you use iron defense 3 times, you'll see.),Protect (ahh, nothing like hitting protect WITH A Z-MOVE), and when all else fails, rest to heal back all hp.

4.After this, put a focus sash on Shuckle for MAXIMUM rage.

5.Then battle. You should see a message that pops up that says "The match was ended". After that you know you succeeded.

Comments

You should put this in the troll pokemon thread

Answer 5

Triple axel and triple kick becomes more powerful each time it hits, fury cutter doubles every single time. Avalanche, Bolt Beak, Fishious Rend, Behemoth Blade and Bash, Rollout and Ice Ball. Defense Curl before Rollout or Ice Ball with make with every turn 80, 160, 240, 480, 960 which is very strong, Avalanche, Fusion Flare, Fusion Bolt, Earthquake. These may hit with double power.

Comments

These aren’t move combos lol

---

Earthquake may hit with double power? You mean when the opponent is using Dig? Surf has that same effect when the opponent's using Dive, I think.

Answer 6

Double Battle only
Use a Metagross with Clear Body and Polteageist with Strength Sap
Strength Sap heals = targets attack and lowers it by 1
Clear Body prevents your stats from being dropped
With this combo your Polteageist heals reliable 405 HP at max attack and your Metagross doesn't get a decrease in its attacking power.

Answer 7

Use a Breloom with Poison Heal
Teach it Leech Seed, Drain Punch and Facade
Give it a Toxic Orb
(Try to invest in bulk)
With this you heal with Drain Punch, Leech Seed and Poison Heal and then destroy the weakened opponents with Facade and annoy the hell out of your opponent.
If you want to be super annoying, teach it Spore.

Answer 8

This list took FOREVER to go through, but my strategy is not here.

This is a cool double gimmick strategy.
Use a fast Pokémon with a high Special Attack, Draco Meteor, Overheat, or Leaf Storm and Grapploct( or Malamar but Grapploct is slower) with a slowing nature, zero speed IVs, and Topsy-Turvy.

Use the attack that’ll lower your Special Attack by two stages and with Grapploct use Topsy-Turvy targeting your ally. You’ll get a Pokémon with a powerful +2 Special Attack. Enjoy!

Answer 9

Now when Scarlet&Violet are released Magearna,
Drakloak and Dragapult can learn baton pass and lock on, So they can baton pass lock on to a Pokemon that knows an OHKO move.

Answer 10

Fling + Acrobatics + Unburden
Have a fast Pokemon use fling first.(preferably using a item like toxic/flame orb or king's rock; poison/burn and flinches respectively.)
Now that you have lost your item acrobatics will go to 110 base power. In gen 9 tera-flying can boost its power even more.
Unburden also doubles your speed for the rest of the battle.

This strategy also works amazingly with Fake Out.
Suggested Pokemon:
Sneasler (only Pokemon to have everything mentioned above)
Hawlucha, Sceptile (everything except Fake Out)

Answer 11

Lot of good ones here. Not sure if anyone mentioned thunder wave+ infatuate + confuse ray 3 moves that reduce the chance of opponent attacking.

Also combining sunny day+ fire spin + will o wisp

Rain dance+ poison + whirlpool

Combine one of those trap combos so they can't switch out of the inaccurate confuse ray

This works good for people that like to annoy their opponents and kill them slowly

Answer 12

Soak + Electro Drift

Opponent gets Water type and Electro Drift kills

Comments

Ground type

---

Soak does not add the water type; it changes the type to pure water so this still works on a ground type.

---

Ok well what about lightning rod and stuff like that

---

Ofcourse none of the strategies will work against every single Pokemon. You can't just write it off for including an electric move. Most types are completely ineffective against atleast one pokemo

---

This strategy is pretty bad because who said your opponent is forced to stay in? Not to mention Miraidon not getting Soak so you'll have to use a partner in doubles, sounds too much of an unnecessary hassle.

---

I'm not saying that it is good.But the reasoning being that a pokemon may be immune to Electro Drift is even worse

---

Well, I was referring to the answer and not your comment. What I meant to say that this strategy is not good

Answer 13

Imprison+Transform.
You lock the Pokémon from doing anything

Answer 14

by far chlorophyll + spicy extract scovillan on an ally clear amulet koraidon
