...my primeape. She's lv50 but doesnt have the best set of attacks ('fact they're really p*sh). Any suggestions? Right now she has:
Cross Chop
Focus Energy
Low Kick
Counter

[rinku]

Well, the first thing that stands out is that she is useless against Ghost, and will be pushing it uphill vs Psychic, Flying and Bug. Counter helps against Flying, but won't if the Flying type in question is a special attacker like Xatu or some Salamence, or happens to be powerful enough to KO Primeape in one hit (perhaps after a Swords Dance or Dragon Dance).


Rock Slide from the move tutor, or the Rock Tomb TM are the best options, probably replacing Counter or Focus Energy. You may want to replace Cross Chop with Brick Break if you get rid of Focus Energy.

Hmm... Bulk Up vs Focus Energy...

Bulk Up's Attack boost helps to sweep and the Defence boost helps against your Flying weakness.

[riot mankey]

cool

thanx

I think ive decided to go with:

Brick Break
Bulk Up/Focus Energy
Rock Tomb
Dig/Karate Chop

-If Bulk Up, Dig because if a pokemon uses a 2-turn attack (even if it cant harm a pokemon using Fly she can still avoid the attack)

-If Focus Energy, Karate Chop because once pumped up Karate Chop could have a very high chance of a critical.

phew.

Go with Cross Chop > Karate Chop

~ Crosschop
~ Earthquake / HP: Bug
~ Rockslide / HP: Bug
~ Bulk Up

HP:Bug? Um.... what's that

[andyizcool]

HP:Bug? Um.... what's that

Hidden Power Bug but you would need the right IVs to get it Bug Type and with a decent Base Power. Hidden Power's Base Power ranges from 30 to 70 and it could be any of the Types except Normal.

Thanx

Yeah, like Misty said, I just edited Jeff's post, because he placed a link in his post. Advertising is against the rules at TPM, you can put links in your sig, or provide somebody with a link through Private Messaging if they ask for it, but you can't just put a link for another site in a post, especially for rival Pokémon site's. So, the stuff that is written in magenta colored font in Jeff's post is just what I wrote to him, to let him know about the rule.

[riot mankey]

Oh okay *feels a little silly*

So what are IVs?

[Silent Dragonfly]

IVs are random numbers generated when you first meet/hatch/get a pokémon.
There is 1 for each stat, HP, Atk, Speed etc. adn they range between 0 and 31. At Lv100 a stat will be higher the higher it's IV is. You cannot change them.
