Castform

[The Hobbit]

Does anyone know where I can get sprites of Castform's "evolutions" he undergoes according to the weather? Hes weak, but a cool pokemon I'd like to raise for the heck of it. Hes got an ok, it could be worse, movepool, but I can't seem to decide what moveset to put on him?? Hes only got two breedable moves, those being future sight and psych up. I guess that you use him according to what type of pokemon you want him to change into?

Name: Castform
Type: Normal
Ability: Forecast

1. ?????
2. Many Possibilities, the list goes on
3. Weather Ball
4. Sunny Day/Rain Dance

He learns moves like ember and water gun, but I'm not sure he can learn any more decent moves besides those two. Hail and Weather Ball as well. Weather Ball is definitely his most powerful attack, so its a must have on him. Feel free to suggest crazy movesets, hes very versatile. Have fun with him! Thanks ahead of time

Weather Ball isn't just a good attack - it's one of the most powerful elemental attacks in the game:

Base 50 x2 for any weather x1.5 for STAB (except in Sandstorm)
If the weather is sunny or rain, you also get x1.5 for a fire or water attack in that weather type = 225 power fire or water attack. The ice version is only base 150, but that still makes it the most powerful Ice attack in the game (plus hail damage vs most targets).

Thunder and Solarbeam are available to Castform; the set I use is this:

Weather Ball
Thunder
Rain Dance
Hail

The "hot" version of this would be:

Weather Ball
Solarbeam
Sunny Day
Rain Dance/Hail

You really need to support Weather Ball with at least two weather moves (which could be provided by teammates I guess), and relying on only one damage attack is not usually good (especially one with only 10PP). You could take both Thunder & Solarbeam and one weather option, I guess.

It's hard to see other sets being worthwhile.
