nope.avi

Please do NOT assign useless moves i.e. splash or charm. Also, please do not assign moves that are obviously not as good as other obtainable moves as well, i.e. Ember instead of Flame Burst.

All OHKO moves fall under Rule 2. Likewise, the moves Water Spout and Eruption also fall under the category if given to a 'mon with Speed as horrible as Camerupt. Camerupt's defenses and especially HP are slightly lackluster as well, makin' Toxic a useless move. Moves related to stalling/passive damage are not to be put on Offensive Pokes. Your trollin's gonna have to be sneakier, bro.

try again

Limiting the options so much sorta defies the purpose of the challenge. =/

Bellossum
-Magical Leaf
-Sleep Powder
-Double Team
-Sludge Bomb

Aggron
-Iron Tail
-Dig
-Iron Defense
-Rollout

Limiting the movesets? Yes. Makin' 'em blatantly bad? No. I made the Moveset challenge with the intention that players would have t' try interesting but fun movesets they'd never use otherwise. That, or at the very least, play outta their comfort zone. Ya don't necessarily need to "limit" a moveset t' make it good for the challenge as well.

Hate t' whine over these movesets when ya've given me four now (... we're the only ones that ever give movesets anymore ._.), but there's two issues with 'em. Rollout's an Egg move; I'm regrettin' wastin' Rock Tomb more by the day; and I'm usin' a Vileplume, not Bellossom. Need Poison STAB, namely Sludge Bomb since there ain't no way I'm usin' Acid lol.

Rollout is also a tutor move in Mauville.

Fine, same moveset for Vileplume, but Sludge Bomb replaces Moonlight

 

[Splash_King]

Steve can still get Rock STAB? ... OH MAH GAWD thnx 4 movesetz nicky

Now all I need is a not-so-trollsome Camerupt moveset, and I'm good t' go.

 

[RockerJ]

I guess the Karp that fears nothing IS ilonly a myth after all. Replace one with Earthquake and the other with Strength.

 

[Splash_King]

Says the fish who fears the E4 without even bein' in a moveset challenge. That, 'n I wish I was a 'Karp....

-Strength
-Earthquake
-Fire STAB
-?

 

[RockerJ]

What's wrong with Toxic?

Fire STAB can be Fire Blast.

 

[Neosquid]

Solarbeam can replace Magical Leaf since Vileplume apparently can't learn it. Which means that Camerupt's fourth move will be Sunny Day. That is, if Vileplume has Chlorophyll.

 

[Splash_King]

Kesumayat does indeed have Chlorophyll.

What's wrong with Toxic?

It'l never be useful. Camerupt's defensive potential is sub-par, and that's it's only passive move. It's outta place on the moveset 'n it simply ain't of any use.

 

[Neosquid]

Oh right, it's the only ability it can have. I don't keep track of this stuff sometimes.

 

[RockerJ]

Why should we make this EASY for you? I thought it was a "challenge" for a reason...

Yes, my original one was bloody difficult, but I figure one not so good attack would increase difficulty.

 

[Splash_King]

That ain't how difficulty works. :lol: Takin' one or two moves 'n makin' it really bad just means I have one're two moves I won't use. I've got a whole 'nother team to make up for any of the Poke's shortcomings. You're not makin' the entire moveset bad by killin' off one or two moves, you're makin' it less good. Pokes with good dual STAB will still hold their weight 'n then some, which means it ain't much more of a challenge with a poor moveset anyways. The only time a bad moveset really is a challenge is when ya've got a really small team. Since my Challenge is a combined Nuzlocke, I sure as **** don't.

As I mentioned earlier, makin' bad movesets is not the point of a Moveset Challenge. It's t' make challengers use movesets they've never used before, strategies they're not used to, etc. Not make their Pokes halfway useless, we've the Unevolved Challenge for that. Rule 2 is there for a reason; if a Poke has no use for a move and would never/very rarely use it, that means the person who made that move selection is either lazy, or tryin' to make a bad moveset for whatever reason be it intentional or otherwise. Any intentional motivations for a lackluster moveset I particularly frown upon, 'less the challenger asks for it 'emself.

 

[RockerJ]

Nyeh. You take these too seriously.

Would Double-Edge be good enough?

 

[Splash_King]

I don't really care what Camerupt gets 'sides it's dual-STAB obviously, for reasons stated above. But ya know me bro, a real stickler for everyone t' be followin' the rules.

Camerupt already evolved, it doesn't learn Double Edge. :lol: It's just a Strength with recoil anywho, so even if it could learn it, no.
