Hello
guys and girls. I hope you are having a great summer, as mine is
over now, but let us forget about that and start with this
week’s review…
Continuing with our alternate evolutions series, we find
ourselves with Huntail this week. Huntail is an underused
Pokémon mainly because of its very poor HP. Its physical stats
are very good but its low HP and poor speed make Huntail easy
prey for most electric types. But let us not forget that there
is not such thing as a bad Pokémon, that’s why we have UU
battles after all.
The
movesets for today are…
Rain dancer.
Huntail@Liechi
berry.
Nature: Jolly (+ Speed, - Special attack).
EV’s: 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 6 HP.
- Rain dance
- Waterfall / Aqua tail
- Ice fang
- Confuse ray / Crunch / Return
Use confuse ray if you feel lucky to earn some extra turns. Or
use rain dance and sweep as much as you can.
Choice bander.
Huntail@Choice
band.
Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, - Special attack).
EV’s: 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 6 HP.
- Waterfall / Aqua tail
- Ice fang
- Crunch
- Return
This
pretty much covers a lot of types. Hit and switch immediately,
this Pokémon won’t survive more than a couple hits.
Pros.
It is
good as a physical sweeper capable of taking a couple hits if
you are using and facing just UU Pokémon. I think it has its
place there as competitive battles are just too much for Huntail.
Counters.
Most
electric types are lethal for Huntail. Just hit it with special
attacks and it will fall in a couple turns.
Bottom line.
I know
what you are thinking… And yes, Gorebyss is next guys and girls.
Rating:
2/5
Hope
you enjoyed.
Reeve.
