Torrent or sniper for inteleon?

Question

Does a critical snipe shot on inteleon deal more with torrent boost or sniper boost also should I run wise glasses or life orb

Comments

What are you using the inteleon for? Is the Inteleon for in-game? Is the Inteleon for competitive? If you're using the Inteleon for competitive, what battle format are you using Inteleon in?

---

The format is single battles in rose tower

You can use a Focus Energy and Scope Lens set for guaranteed, Sniper Boosted crits. You could also do something like a Specs set (with Hydro Pump over Snipe Shot) for immediate power, with the ability not really mattering for that set. However, I don't know which would work better in the Battle Tower.

Answer 1

• Snipe can only show its potential with move pools that contain "Laser Focus" and "Energy Focus" so fat we've have known Beedrill that obtains this combo all in one Species.
• Inteleon cant kearn these moves so better take Torrent in order to Turn in into "Adaptability" after taking one first hit (as with Defensive Stats of 65 equally, taking one hit is enough for this arrow to at least lose half its HP tho)
• A critical hit with "Snipe" will cause 2.25 Damage, meanwhile Torrent boosts you STAB Moves only from x1.5 to x2. So A Critical hit with Snipe surely widens your damage much more. But the point is without any status moves on purpose of gauranteeing ur Critical Moves rate of chance,. will you think its reasonable risking an ABility in hope of this rates of Possibility below ? :
• Stage -----Gen II-V Percenta ---Gen VI Percentage ---- Gen VII+ Percentage
  • 1 ..................... 6.25% ...................... 6.25% ...................... 4.17%
    -2 ...................... 12.5% ...................... 12.5% ...................... 12.5%
    -3 ...................... 25% ...................... 50% ...................... 50%
    -4 ...................... 33.3% ...................... 100% ...................... 100%
    -5 ...................... 50% ...................... 100% ...................... 100%
    Our Inteleon probably has on 4.17 % of activating its Abilitty each round tho.

Inteleon learns focus energy what are you on about

The math checks out

Answer 2

I would go with sniper because sniper increases critical hit ratio by 50% and can be boosted even further with items like razor claw and scope lens there making it a nasty Pokemon in competitive to go up against, But it depends on if you are doing competitive Pokemon or not.

One of the tags says "competitive".

Sniper doesn't increase the crit ratio..
