Thunderbolt
Recover

I might take out thunderbolt for Dragon Claw. I use it to combo other Latios and crobats


Blaziken@leftovers
Slash
Flamethrower
Brick Break
????

Sweeper, super effective against 7+ types. I don't know what to put in as the last attack, maybe sand attack? I Dont know.


Thanks for all the help.

I don't see how crobat would need quick claw, it's very fast.

Calm mind or shadow ball would be good for defeating other latios. (can latios learn shadow ball?)

Earthquake for blaziken, and if you can breed rock slide onto it that would be better than slash.

[Venusaur1]

With EQ Blazikin will do very good. As for the other 2 i dont see anything. wrogn with them. My Latios will probably have the same MS as yours. Crobat is an awesome annoyer.

[Kuiper]

Quick claw on Crobat is redundant. Lefties should take its place. Perhaps Mean look over protect.

Dragon claw over ice beam on latios.

As for Blaziken, you might make him your starter, and give him the standard:

Blaziken@White herb
-Brick Break
-EQ
-Rock slide
-Overheat

Or, if you got the Salac berry, you might want to try:

Blaziken@Salac
-Flamethrower
-Endure
-Reversal
-EQ

Uses the Endure+Salac+Reversal combo and flamethrower gets extra damage from blaze.

You have repeat weaknesses to psychic and ice.

[Venusaur1]

Can you explain the combo thats a really unusual MS for him.

[Kuiper]

Simualar to Heracross.

Basically, you send him against a sweeper, use endure, and let them get you down to 1 HP. Now, serveral things happen. Salac kicks in, making him faster (hopefully) than the opponent. Also, his ability, blaze, boosts fire moves by 50%, meaning flamethrower's base damage is 214. And, most importantly, reversal's damage is 200, with STAB that's 300. The EQ is just a filler for pre-endure damage.

So now you have a speedy Blaziken that can hit for 214 fire attack or 300 fighting attack. The only problem would be super-fast pokemon (Crobat, Electrode, Ninjask, etc.) or pokemon with quick attack/mach punch/extremespeed. He's got 1 HP, so the only way to survive is to kill them before they can land a move. Also, if he gets toxiced, leech seeded, sandstormed, etc. he dies. But the main point is that he should be able to sweep 3-4 pokemon before he dies.

Heracross can do the same, but with swarm+megahorn/HP:bug instead of blaze+flamethrower. (Remember that?)

[Venusaur1]

Thats cool toobad Salac is rare and i wont be able to get it.

[King Politoed]

according to absol's post on ms guide, crobat can be a good zam killer and choice bander with this set
crobat@lefties/choice-band
air cutter/ aerial ace/ fly
shadow ball/protect/hp:ground or fighting
toxic/protect/haze

I would stick with the original Crobat he posted.

Whats a good substitute for EQ, I don't have the TM.

Also, I was thinking of taking Blaziken out of the line-up, with 2 pokemon weak to psychic. I was thinking of putting in Milotic of Metagross, what do you all think? Here are my movesets:

Milotic
HydroPump
Mirror Coat
Ice Beam
Recover

(note Latios is very popular in my area)


Metagross
Psychic
Metal claw
light screen
iron defense

My metagross needs work, sorry I don't have the EQ TM. I am quite fond of my milotic, however, unless Blaziken would be better in the lineup.

Thanks for the help, i'm not too good at link battling strategies.

[Kuiper]

Well, for Metagross, always use Meteor Mash. Keep your Metang from evolving until level fifty, make it learn meteor mash, then let it evolve. His special attack isn't all that great, so don't use Psychic. Seeing as how their are a lot of Latios in your area, put on Shadow Ball. Over Iron defense, I'd put EQ, but in your case you might want to use Sludge Bomb or Brick Break. You might want to alternate Light Screen and Agility. Make it hold Scope Lens, or if you don't use Agility, perhaps Quick Claw. That gives us:

Metagross@Scope Lens/Quick Claw
-Meteor Mash
-Shadow Ball
-EQ/Sludge Bomb/Brick Break
-Light Screen/Agility
