Hi
everyone. Welcome to another Pokémon of the Week. Today we’re
reviewing Ludicolo, the Carefree Pokémon.
It’s
Cinco de Mayo as I’m writing this so I decided this is the
closest thing to a Mariachi right? But Ludicolo is more than
that. Its stats aren’t that awesome, but this is one classic and
effective annoyer. And I’ve seen a couple special and physical
sweepers. So grab your Tortilla chips and guacamole for this
review…
Both
abilities are good. Swift swim doubles your speed when rainy and
rain dish recovers some health under heavy rain. Most trainers
prefer rain dish…
So, the
move combinations for today are…
Ludicolo.
Nature:
Modest (+ Special attack, - Attack).
Equip:
Petaya berry.
EV´s:
129 Special attack, 129 Speed, 252 HP.
- Hydro
pump / Surf
- Leech
seed / Giga drain
- Ice
beam
- Rain
dance
Use
swift swim here. Boost your speed, then use leech seed and sweep
as much as you can. Not the best special sweeper, but decent for
casual battling.
Ludicolo.
Nature:
Adamant (+ Attack, - Special attack).
Equip:
Leftovers / Damp rock.
EV´s:
252 Attack, 129 Speed, 252 HP.
-
Waterfall
- Leech
seed / Rain dance
-
Swords dance
- Drain
punch / Zen headbutt / Brick break
A
pretty interesting physical sweeper with swords dance. You
really need swift swim for this one as well. Speed is vital for
this set.
Ludicolo.
Nature:
Bold (+ Defense, - Attack).
Equip:
Leftovers.
EV´s:
252 Special defense, 6 Defense, 252 HP.
- Fake
out / Grass knot / Toxic / Giga drain
- Leech
seed
-
Protect
- Rain
dance
The
annoyer set is your best option for Ludicolo. I got totally
annihilated once thanks to this thing. So you use rain dance
having rain dish. Then leech seed and protect. Choose the first
move according to your needs and situation.
When
should I use this Pokémon?
This is
one nice option if you don’t want to use Blissey anymore. Leech
seed and rain conditions make Ludicolo a pretty good annoyer.
You might want to try the first two sets as well for a not so
competitive environment.
What
should I use against this Pokémon?
Poison
and Flying types are dangerous. Poison / Water as Tentacruel or
Poison / Grass as Venusaur or Roserade are strong against
Ludicolo’s strategies and have effective moves against it. So be
careful. Inflict status conditions and you will be safe as well.
Bottom
line:
This
week is going to be a double dose of Pokémon reviews, so stay
tuned. Hope you had a nice Cinco de Mayo fiesta. See you later
this week. I’ll be answering a couple e-mails I have from you;
Thanks for being so patient.
Rating:
3.2/5
Hope
you enjoyed.
