.Leo Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Donphan has the advantage that it can't have 4x weakness. It is weak to Water and Grass, which are very popular types, but Fortress can be OHKO'd by quite a few Fire moves. It is pretty much personal preference imo.

.Rai Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Donphan is strictly a UU pokemon. It thrives there due to very little other pokemon able to wall and spin like it. Only other UU option would be Claydol. However, in OU, it's generally outclassed by Fortress and Starmie. Fortress has support in rain, which is a nice cliche (although now outclassed by Ferrothorn there). Starmie is generally good everywhere. Also, Life Orb Alakazam is outclassed by Life Orb Gengar now. Also, Snorlax is Under-Used. Blissey is outclassed by Eviolite Chansey and Wailord is Under-Used/Little-Used. Been playing around with Shuckle lately. Shuckle@Leftovers252 HP / 208 Def / 48 Sp. DefBold Nature [ + Def / - Atk ]Power SplitAcupressureRestSleep Talk Play in sandstorm for maximum trolling. Sandstorm boosts its Sp. Def x 1.5 times. Acupressure is pretty much staple on Shuckle these days. Rest gets you up to normal while Sleep Talk doesn't leave you totally useless. Power Split is amazing too. Also play with Stealth Rock and Spikes support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnpsy Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I've been using Fort on my sun team. God I'm dumb. If you really think about it, it would die in two hits to Fire anyways, so it doesn't really matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critical hit Absol is overrated, like all Super Luck/Sniper pokemon. You can get at max with ideal items and ability a 40% of critical hits. With Focus Energy, maybe up to 75% but even so, you'll be dead by then.

Vough Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 How do Wide Lens work? Are all moves boosted 30% accuracy? Like Fire Blast will always hit? Or am I am missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 How do Wide Lens work? Are all moves boosted 30% accuracy? Like Fire Blast will always hit?
