DPPt/HGSS Too Much Pwnage? (Kecleon)
- Thread starter Ultracow
- Start date
Cool deal...I'll try it out.
I would use earthquake rather than rockslide because then you get a super effective hit off of ice beam
Probably would help if Kecleon could actually learn EQ
HP 60
Attack 90
Defense 70
SP Attack 60
SP Defense 120
Speed 40
Meangreen's right. Giving it offensive attacks would be more beneficial, though the power and accurary of Rock Slide leave a bit to be desired...
I haven't used Skill Swap before so I'm not 100% sure how it works. If you switch out, would Kecleon regain its original ability? If not, then I have an issue with this strategy. Unless you skill swapped again before you landed the KO, it'd only work for a single opponent (And that's considering that it doesn't KO you before you get the chance to set everything up). Makes it a bit pointless, doesn't it? Unless the whole purpose of the set is to take out key Pokemon in a kamikaze-ish way...
Well that's a change. I offer advice on a moveset and it actually has basis in reality, not just in my caffeine addled mind... Yay!
Rock still supers ice too remember.
I actually put some thought into it and came up with:
Skill Swap
Brick-Break
Aerial-Ace
Rockslide/Ancient Power
Gives you a total Attack based moveset that supers each time if used right.
Heh, it's funny how one thread can make a boring (to me) pokemon greatly more interesting.

The only thing that suck is Water Pulse.
Water Pulse can be useful due to its confusion-inducing side-effect. The fact that it's the only water-type move that Kecleon can learn, not counting Rain Dance...
There are only a few moves that 'suck'. And even 'sucky' moves can be sometimes used effectively, all depending on the way they are used. >>

I've seen other uses for it, but most of them were double-battle related (ie. using one of your Pokemon as a throw-away and skill swapping its ability with Slaking, leaving Slaking free to put the smack down on all who oppose it. I guess if you survived long enough you could technically skill swap again to stick Truant on one of the opponent's Pokemon, too...).
Norman managed to Skill Swap 2 times to give my Blaziken Truant along with Gardevoir who had traced Truant. Not sure what happened. I'm crappy with movesets but here goes.
This is an alternate and maybe less effective set.
Kecleon
Skill Swap or Shadow Ball
Faint Attack
Psybeam
Brick Break
When Kecleon skill swaps and attacks there is a super effective move to attack with. I think I may have used this once and I did pretty well. I tried to work with the fact that Kecleon's attack is higher.

that is a pretty awesome idea, it takes a lot of leading up to though.
