RedScizor's Unofficial Pokemon Of The Week

Hello everyone!​

It's me RedScizor, and I'm starting my own little POTW. I will be putting here an original set I came up with, every week!​

(I don't think Satix will mind double posting here, for my posts)​

1st Pokémon: Zoroark​

​

Zoroark is a cool Pokémon, mainly due to his ability. Illusion lets him look like the Pokémon found last in you party, until he takes damage from a move. Using this you can play mind games, like making him look like a Fighting type Pokémon and the opponent trying psychic moves without any success.​

The Set:​

Item: Choice Scarf​

Nature: Modest​

EVs: 252 SpA/ 252 Spe/ 4 of either Def, SpD, or HP​

Move-Set:​

Flamethrower​

Night Daze​

Focus Blast​

Grass Knot​

Using Choice Scarf with 105 base speed this guy gets a good amount of speed, even without the timid nature. To help add power you use modest to make his attacks more powerful, powering up his 120 base SpA. This set works great as a lead, but works pretty much any time too. Flamethrower gets rid of Scizor, Ferrothorn, Forretress, ect. Night Daze is his main STAB move and is awesome when you get lucky with the Accuracy drop on the opponent. Focus Blast adds coverage. Now you are probably thinking, why grass knot? Now it may seem weird but I've used this set and it works great. Grass Knot does great on rain teams. Gastrodon would know what hit it. It even does a good amount on Politoed, and other water types. It also is just a random move that no-one will suspect, even if they know it's a Zoroark. Also, if you can't do anything against the opponent, don't just let him die, switch, he is great to save for later! Now remember picking the best disguise for Zoroark is crucial. I suggest something like Conkeldurr so that Psychic moves won't hit you, while they think its super effective. Even though Zoroark is UU, that doesn't mean you should only use him in that tier, in fact if you noticed this set is more built for a OU metagame. Thanks for reading my 1st POTW, I hope you read my others to come!​

 

That was a typo, and is now fixed!

 

The 2nd POTW was a tie! So I chose the one i like better, Honchkrow!.​

Also I know it has been forever since my 1st one but I have been busy, sorry.​

*New pole is found at the top of the 1st post*​

2nd Pokémon: Honchkrow​

​

I love Honchkrow. He is my 3rd favorite Pokémon after Scizor and Blaziken, and to be honest I don't know why! But anyway let's take a look at honchkrow!​

Type: Dark/Fly​

Abilities: Insomnia, Super Luck, Moxie​

Base Stats:​

100 HP​

125 Atk​

52 Def​

105 SpA​

52 SpD​

71 Spe ​

The Set: (Mainly for OU)​

Ability: Moxie​

Item: Choice Scarf​

Nature: Hasty​

EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 Spe/ 4 HP​

Moves:​

-Drill Peck​

-Night Slash​

-Heat Wave​

-Superpower​

It may sounds weird, putting a scarf on Honchkrow but I use it on a team and it is actually quite effective. Honchkrow has great Attack and Special Attack but he lacks speed which the scarf makes up for. Drill Peck and Night Slash give STAB while Superpower helps give coverage. Heat Wave can easily kill Scizor, Ferrothorn, ect. even without any Special Attack investments. Hasty nature is used so that Special Attack isn't taken away as it would with Jolly. Thise set is pretty straight forward and I believe the reason I have found it effective is because people don't see it coming. Nobody really uses Honchkrow in OU and using a different set on him really throws people off. Thanks for reading this POTW, and remember to vote on the new pole for the next POTW!

 

Thanks for reminding me to add the ability to the set.
