Extremespeed Sheer Cold Air Slash Aqua Ring I am using this in game, how do you think this would do in competitive battles? I am trying this guy out and some people have said that Sheer Cold isn't a good move to use. I don't think it's that bad because people have been suggesting Blizzard/Ice beam and Crocune, but Sheer Cold CAN knock out pokemon in one hit, even though its accuracy is sorely lacking. Has anyone used the event Suicune outside of the game, and if so, how well (if any) did it do once you got it into battle? I will consider what you guys will say. |

No because you're just posting unaltered event shiny beast movesets. |

Wouldn't it be better to just make a single thread dedicated to this, rather than making a new one for each Pokemon? |

Entei was really the only one (IMO) who benefited from this event by finally getting Flare Blitz. |

Plus, Suicune can learn Mind Read, right? So Sheer Cold+Mind Read=100% OHKO |

I just checked it and Suicune doesn't learn Mind Read(er). At least you gave me an idea of trying an Articuno with Mind Reader + Sheer Cold on Battle Hall for the hell of it once i finish the storyline and i stop being lazy and RNG for a good one. EDIT: lol noticing a typo after 12+ hours |

Sheer Cold is far, far too unreliable for competitive use. Surf/Hydro Pump and Ice Beam/Blizzard are virtually musts, I'd say. Pump and Blizzard pack far more power, but Surf and Ice Beam are more dependable to hit, so that's pretty much a matter of preference, bearing in mind Suicune's SpAtk is mediocre. Air Slash is a bit gimmicky. Calm Mind is viable to boost its already good SpDef and help its attacks pack a bit more punch. A RestTalk set could be used, too. Protect could also be used for scouting. |

So you are saying Suicune did not benefit from the event at all and now the value of legit shiny Suicunes dropped dramatically? |

I like my pokemon movesets unaltered (granted, most of the time is when I keep them unaltered), thank you very much. I mean, everyone that I've posted my movesets to complain that sheer cold is inaccurate, but from my own point of view, sheer is horribly inaccurate, but it can OHKO without the uneeded 2nd turn. But, this IS in game. I am not liking the inaccurateness, mind you, but....there comes a time when you have to make sacrifices. There's a reason that I have not altered anything, and that's because I do not know what movesets work and which don't. I am not a competitive battler, have never entered a tourney, and am only playing pokemon with VERY local people, meaning in the towns where I live and nowhere else outside of a few random, well fought battles with ONLINE people. I wouldn't know the first thing about competition in the new generations as I have not battled much on Wi-fi...=/ Super Slash, yes, it would've made things ALOT easier.:)

If left blank, your default title currently will be: Phasmatis of Elementum

I know a lot about competitive battling, but I have never really fought anyone. Maybe I will get into it when I get Black. Anyways, I really think Sheer Cold should be substituted with Ice Beam or Blizzard. |

Alright..I decided to replace Leaf Storm on Celebi for magical leaf. I have kept all the other moves. Was that a good/bad idea? |

Magical Leaf sucks. Leaf Storm could work for a Choice Specs/Scarf Celebi or something. i dunno |

Magucal leaf suck on its own, but the event celebi moveset has nasty plot. Leaf storm is unreliable for me. =/ |
