pearlfrost-15 OP

Are there some different moves I should run on basculegion? This moveset works so far because I mainly click flip turn or last respects, and I didn’t know what to do with the last slot.

Psychic fangs is good for sneas

warmarcher-67

Coo team but what is flapplle doin

royalcloud-73

I'd say the move set is fine for coverage tbh

cleverinbox-49

Aqua jet is the most common 4th move I think

royalcloud-73

Prio is nice to have

warmarcher-67

I really dont see why flaplle should be there

warmarcher-67

The whole point is that its good in gravity

warmarcher-67

Oh

warmarcher-67

My bad

warmarcher-67

I thought it was a while team analysis

warmarcher-67

I didnt read the top

royalcloud-73

Advice is still welcome I am sure

warmarcher-67

Aqua jet is nice because you get adaptability boost

royalcloud-73

The main set I run is flip turn wave crash last respects aqua jet

royalcloud-73

But psychic fangs is seeing more play due to how hard it hits sneas

warmarcher-67

Yea i could see it

warmarcher-67

And flaple does have priority too

royalcloud-73

Is it the better option? I think no

warmarcher-67

And also mamo

royalcloud-73

Sneas isn't hard to deal with

royalcloud-73

But yeah can see it for coverage to protect mamo

@warmarcher-67 I really dont see why flaplle should be there
pearlfrost-15 OP

I wanted a physical grass pokemon

@pearlfrost-15 I wanted a physical grass pokemon
warmarcher-67

Then i recommend the following: tsareena (to block priority), decidueye ( upper hand is a great novelty and it can be a pseudo support like incin) or base scovillian (which can cover defensively for your megas)

pearlfrost-15 OP

The only one I have is Scovillian, just didn’t know what move set to run on him, and he was quite slow.

warmarcher-67

Well rage powder to start

warmarcher-67

Then either flare blitz

warmarcher-67

For attacking

warmarcher-67

Then leech seed

warmarcher-67

And protect

warmarcher-67

Of course ghe moveset is up to you

warmarcher-67

But that is my personal recommendation

warmarcher-67

I dont remember what grass type physical moves it learns but i will look into it

warmarcher-67

It gets seed bomb trailblaze and bullet seed (also grassy glide but thats a bit useless)

warmarcher-67

I recommend seed bomb as in the rare garchomp scenario it isnt a contact move

warmarcher-67

And also its the highest power one
