Zak Something Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 60% is still unimpressive. And if I wanted paralysis, there's this little doodad called Thunder Wave that has - wait for it - 100% accuracy! And besides, Zap Cannon (and Lock-On as well) only has 5 PP. Thunder Wave is the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) I always find ways to ensure that my opponents Pokemon dies before they can make a move. Which makes the Lock-On/Zap Cannon combo its own antithesis (and ruins Rain Dance/Thunder as well). I guess in your case, practicality and reliability are acceptable sacrifices though... Thunder Wave is the best. Indeed. Edited August 25, 2012 by Golden Cucco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuffPuff Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) And if I wanted paralysis, there's this little doodad called Thunder Wave that has - wait for it - 100% accuracy! That too. Go with Thunder Wave. Good set for Magnazone Flash Cannon STAB! Thunder Wave Para H4x Rain Dance (Increase accuracy for Thunder and to weaken FIRE moves to protect Magnazone better which it is normally weak too. Or I would suggest Magnet Rise instead of Thunder Wave to protect it from ground attacks. Actually, screw Thunder Wave. Go with Magnet Rise instead. It needs to be protected from ground moves which it has a 4X weakness too. Do that along with Rain Dance then it should really only get weak to fighting moves. =)) Thunder STAB! I'd suggest this mostly... Flash Cannon Rain Dance Magnet Rise Thunder ----- I always find ways to ensure that my opponents Pokemon dies before they can make a move.

You sure love to contradict yourself, don't you? Because if you're setting up with Rain Dance for a more accrurate Thunder, guess what? You failed to eliminate your foe before they could make a move!

Your having Rain Dance to protect it better from Fire moves and 70% accuracy is rather good and can be fixed with Wide Lens anyway. =) For battles that you don't need Rain Dance, or has run out of PP for.

PuffPuff Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Choose whichever fits your personnel preference. It should get Magnet Rise at least. Since that move is mandatory for both Maganzone and Metagross. They can't battle Pokemon knowing Ground moves otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I've noticed that I always seem to misread Emboar as Emobear. Better than TheEnd misreading the katakana for Otamaro as Oman---BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Still can't type it with a straight face.

Not to mention that the Zap Cannon + Lock on combo takes two turns for one 100% accurate attack. And if the target switches out....

And if the target switches out.... ...it's a 50% chance of having wasted two turns. Indeed. Or, if they switched to a ground type (or a Lightningrod Pokemon), you wasted two turns, no ifs, ands or buts about it.
