stalling moveset for claydol?

[great_white_egg_10]

HP- 252
def- 129
sp.def- 129

im pretty much lost for the moveset, im thinking of giving it toxic, but ive already got someone else on the team with will-o-wisp, who comes out before (dusclops) so i dunno if theres a point in having toxic.

i was thinking of something light light screen, reflect, psychic and cosmic power? its partner is a d.dancing salamence, so l.screen and reflect could help it take less damage, and because opponents will be burned, their attack is also lowered. any help/tips for a claydol moveset? mention any tm's needed, thanx

I don't know much about Claydol. I'm sorry, I can't be of much help. ;_;

Since you're looking to stall, perhaps Rest instead of Explosion. Cosmic Power is perfect for this! Good call on that.

For ingame, when I have a pokemon that stalls I like to use kill-em-slow type attacks. Some examples are leech seed, toxic, wrap, WOW, sandstorm, etc, used together with a move like Double team or Rest. This can also be annoying too. ;-) Other attacks that work ingame with the above are the two-turn attacks (Dive, Fly, Dig). So maybe you can check and see if any of these can be used by your Claydol especially with the levitate ability. Hope this helps.

Got PP Max?
