Hey All!
Well this is my first attempt at mass distribution of my farmed pokemon, normally only do it for my own teams. I decided that it’s about time that I joined a farming community and seem to have found a great one residing at pokefarm.com.
Normally when I am farming, I tend to create pokes that will work well as a team. So, for my first offering I wanted a pokemon that would be a great initiator for almost any battle. For this, I created an Absol with a great normal-type move set. This absol contains the following moves:
Swords Dance
Double-Edge
Baton Pass
Perish Song
I envision this poke being used in one of three ways.
1. The no brainer is the use of Swords Dance and Double-Edge. Double-Edge has a power of 120 and 100% accuracy making it a pretty decent move even with the side effect of some damage. Combined with the fact that Absol has one of the higher attack stats in pokemon (assuming Neutral Nature), this makes this combination pretty lethal since Swords Dance raises the attack stat by two stages (200%) and an EV trained Absol with positive attack nature even more so.
2. Another great combo would be the use of Swords Dance and Baton Pass. Baton Pass is an awesome move that only a couple handful of pokemon can learn. This allows the Absol to switch out with another poke in your party and carry over the positive stat modifiers to that pokemon. So switch with a strong EV trained pokemon in attack with lots of STAB moves (see second pokemon below) and you get a super attacker.
3. The final way I envision Absol being used is through the combination of Baton Pass and Perish Song. Perish Song is one of the rarer moves to get on a pokemon because it is so effective.
“Any Pokemon that hears this song faints in three turns unless it switches out of battle.”
That’s where Baton Pass comes in handy with the ability of switching out. Plus, this would be one of the most deadly combinations with a very under used pokemon in Wobbuffet. Wobbuffet has an un-godly HP so EV trained in Defense and Sp. Defense would essentially create a juggernaut that could handle almost any attacks for 2+ more rounds. But what really makes Wobbuffet a key character in this is its ability: The opponent cannot run or switch out of battle. This essentially seals a death sentence for that pokemon in play with no pardon in sight!
As mentioned above, I like to create a team (or at least part of one) when I do my farming. So to round off a good half team, I have to have a good STAB character to utilize the Absol at its best. For this I chose one of my favorite pokemon: Heracross. This poke is really strong in the attack stat, carries a decent HP for longevity and has more strong STAB attacks than you can shake a stick at. The move set I settled on is as follows:
Brick Break (STAB)
Close Combat (STAB)
Reversal (STAB)
Megahorn (STAB)
So that rounds out this post. If you care for an Absol or Heracross, just post or message and I will do my best to respond as quickly as possible.
I named all of my Absols after elements of my profession (chemistry). Heracross’ are after the best time of the year, baseball playoffs, and are named after pitchers in the Hall Of Fame.
One thing I have not been able to do because of time constraints (a four week old baby boy and dissertation do that to you) is to work on the IV portion for these guys. I have been able to maximize the positive Natures for both so there really shouldn’t be anything detrimental (like lowered attack natures) on these guys.
I really don’t care what pokemon you give me but items would be great, more specifically Rare Candies to aid in the IV training.
