Top 6 List: Double Battles
March 2, 2005

 

Hey, it’s Kyle again.  My R/S list went well, so I thought I’d show all the loyal Pojo readers my Double Battle list, straight from Colosseum.  Hope you like it. 

 

Name:  Espeon

Type(s):  Psychic

Gender:  Male

Nature:  Timid

Ability:  Synchronize

Item:  Petaya Berry

Move Set:

Psychic

Bite

HP Fire

Morning Sun

 

Strategy:  Basic Special Sweeper.  More of a loner than a team player, though he covers many weaknesses.

 

Name: Umbreon

Type(s):  Dark

Gender:  Female

Nature:  Bold

Ability:  Synchronize

Item:  Leftovers

Move Set:

Calm Mind

Reflect

Rest

Faint Attack

 

Strategy: Tank.  Again, a loner, but she can buy the team some time if needed.  She also makes use of Faint Attack in conjunction with Calm Mind, STAB (Same Type Attack Boost), and Perfect Accuracy.

 

Name: Ninjask

Type(s):  Bug/Flying

Gender:  Female

Nature:  Impish

Ability:  Speed Boost

Item: Liechi Berry

Move Set: 

Swords Dance

Endure

Silver Wind

Baton Pass

 

Strategy:  Easily the core of the team.  Boost Attack & Speed. Then hand off to Togetic/Breloom.

 

Name:  Togetic

Type(s):  Normal/Flying

Gender:  Female

Nature:  Modest

Ability:  Serene Grace

Item:  King’s Rock

Move Set: 

Fire Blast

Psychic

Magical Leaf

Water Pulse

 

Strategy:    Abuse Serene Grace.  All attacks except Magical Leaf have a side effect that SG augments + King’s Rock throws in Flinching as well.

 

Name:  Golduck

Type(s):  Water

Gender:  Male

Nature:  Adamant

Ability:  Cloud Nine

Item:  Liechi Berry

Move Set: 

Psych Up

Aerial Ace

Brick Break

HP Ground

 

Strategy:  I expect a LOT of hate mail after this one.  Is it too farfetched an idea to have a mono-WATER as a Physical Sweeper?  It snags a boost from Ninjask with Psych Up and sweeps.  Also covers both weaknesses.

 

Name:  Breloom

Type(s):  Grass/Fighting

Gender:  Female

Nature: Adamant

Ability: Effect Spore

Item:  Leftovers

Move Set: 

Mach Punch

Spore

Giga Drain

HP Ghost

 

Strategy:  The ever-hated Mixed Sweeper.  I poured EVs into Special Attack, Attack, and HP.  With the BP’d boost from the Ninja-bug, it’s rather quick, and NOTHING tops its Attack.  I mean, Come on! A 130 base rivals an ever-popular Four-armed Fighter, then when you throw in the EV’s, Ninjask’s boost and Liechi…

 

If you like/dislike this set, Email me at annie0913@bellsouth.net.  Also, If you have any recommendations, they are accepted & encouraged, so feel free to send them in.  Also, I accept “hate mail” so long as a compelling argument and reason is presented (i.e. don’t send something like, “You suck becuz Golduck Sucks becuz Golduck is blue and blue sucks!!!  P.S. You suck!!) Note: spelling and grammatical errors are present to demonstrate the lack of mental fortitude of those who send such letters.
